Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, (x) with respect to the US-Canada Facility, in the event any US-Canada Borrower desires to obtain a Euro-Rate Loan for any US-Canada Advance (other than a US-Canada Swing Loan), and (b) with respect to the English Facility or the French Facility, in the event that any European Borrower desires to obtain a European Revolving Advance, the Applicable Borrowing Agent shall give the Applicable Agent written notice by no later than 12:00 p.m. Local Time on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Euro-Rate Loan or European Revolving Advance is to be borrowed, in substantially the form of the European Borrowing Request specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing (which, in the case of a European Revolving Advance, shall be LIBOR Rate Loans only), the amount of such Advance to be borrowed (in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility, expressed in the currency in which such European Revolving Advance shall be funded), which amount shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or in the case of any currency other than Dollars, an approximate equivalent thereof as determined by the Applicable Agent in its sole discretion) and in integral multiples of $500,000 (or in the case of any currency other than Dollars, an approximate equivalent thereof as determined by the Applicable Agent in its sole discretion) thereafter, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for Euro-Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans shall be for one, two or three months; provided that, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next

73

(d)Subsequent Interest Periods. The Applicable Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a Euro-Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Applicable Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or, in the case of the Borrowing Agent under the US-Canada Facility, by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be.

74

Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is to a Euro-Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.

(f)Prepayment of Euro-Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans. At its option and upon written notice given prior to 11:00 a.m. Local Time on the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may, subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay the Euro-Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Euro-Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Euro-Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrowers shall indemnify the Agents and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof.

(g)Indemnification. Each Borrower shall indemnify Agents and Lenders and hold Agents and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agents and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Euro-Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Euro-Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by any of the Agents or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Euro-Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by any of the Agents or any Lender to Applicable Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(h)Deemed Requests. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with any Agent or any Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation under this Agreement, become due, same shall be deemed a request under the applicable Facility for a Revolving Advance, in the case of the US-Canada Facility, maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan or, in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility, a LIBOR Rate Loan in the Applicable European Currency with an Interest Period of one (1) month, in each case as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation, and such request shall be irrevocable.

(i)Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (i), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Euro-Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Euro-Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Euro-Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and the applicable Borrowers shall, if any affected Euro-Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request

75

from Applicable Agent, either pay all such affected Euro-Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans or, in the case of loans under the US-Canada Facility, convert such affected Euro-Rate Loans into loans of another type. If any such payment or conversion of any Euro-Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, the applicable Borrowers shall pay Applicable Agent, upon Applicable Agent's request, such amount or amounts set forth in clause (g) above.

The proceeds of each European Revolving Advance or European Swing Loan requested by European Borrowing Agent on behalf of any European Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any European Borrower under Sections 2.2(h), 2.5(b) or 2.13 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested European Revolving Advances, to the extent European Lenders make such European Revolving Advances in accordance with Sections 2.2(h), 2.5(b) or 2.13 hereof, and with respect to European Swing Loans made upon any request by European Borrowing Agent for a European Revolving Advance to the extent European Swing Loan Lender makes such European Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.3(e) hereof, be made available to the applicable European Borrower on the date of requested utilization by way of credit to such European Borrower's operating account at JPMorgan, or such other bank as European Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to European Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to European Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by any European Borrower or European Swing Loans made upon any deemed request for a European Revolving Advance by any European Borrower, be disbursed to European Agent to be applied to the outstanding English Obligations or French Obligations giving rise to such deemed request. During the Term, European Borrowers may use the European Revolving Advances and European Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

2.5Making and Settlement of Advances.

(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Advances under each Facility shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments under such Facility (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.21). Each borrowing of Swing Loans under any Facility shall be advanced by the applicable Swing Loan Lender alone.

(b)Promptly after receipt by Applicable Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or 2.2(b) and, with respect to Revolving Advances, to the extent Applicable Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans under the applicable Facility exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.3 for such Facility, Applicable Agent shall notify the applicable Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments with respect to the applicable Facility of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by the Applicable Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among such Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance as determined by Applicable Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each applicable Lender under such Facility shall remit the principal amount of each such Revolving Advance to the Applicable Agent (in the case of the English Facility or the French

80

Facility, in the currency in which such European Revolving Advance was denominated) such that the Applicable Agent is able to, and the Applicable Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.3, fund such Revolving Advance to the Applicable Borrowing Agent in the Applicable Currency and immediately available funds at the applicable Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to the Applicable Agent in a timely manner, the Applicable Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.5(c) hereof.

(c)Unless Applicable Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under the applicable Facility that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance available to Applicable Agent, Applicable Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Applicable Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.5(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Applicable Borrowing Agent a corresponding amount. Applicable Agent will promptly notify the Applicable Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance available to Applicable Agent, then the applicable Lender and applicable Borrowers severally agree to pay to Applicable Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to applicable Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Applicable Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender under (1) the US-Canada Facility, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (2) the English Facility or the French Facility, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Overnight LIBO Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (365/366 days with respect to amounts denominated in British Pounds Sterling) during such period as quoted by European Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the applicable Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for (x) Revolving Advances that are Domestic Rate Loans under the US-Canada Facility or (y) LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period one (1) month in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance to Applicable Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Advance. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim any Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Applicable Agent. A certificate of Applicable Agent submitted to any Lender or Applicable Borrowing Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.

(d)Applicable Agent, on behalf of the applicable Swing Loan Lender under each applicable Facility, shall (or may, in the case of the European Agent on behalf of the European Swing Loan Lender) demand settlement (a "Settlement") of all or any applicable Swing Loans

81

with the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments under such Facility on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Applicable Agent elects or that the applicable Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Facility of such requested Settlement (which, in the case of Settlement under the English Facility or the French Facility, shall include the currency in which such Settlement is to be made) by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date of such requested Settlement or, in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility, three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such requested Settlement (in each case, the "Settlement Date"). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.21, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under the applicable Facility shall transfer the amount of such Lender's applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Applicable Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by the Applicable Agent, to such account of Applicable Agent as Applicable Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m., Local Time, on such Settlement Date if requested by Applicable Agent by 3:00 p.m., Local Time, otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m., Local Time, on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances set forth in Section 8.3 have not been satisfied or the applicable Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Applicable Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding applicable Swing Loans and, when so applied, shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders under the US-Canada Facility accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans or, in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility, LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) week. If any such amount is not transferred to Applicable Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under the Applicable Facility on such Settlement Date, Applicable Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.5(c).

(e)If any Lender or Participant (a "Benefited Lender") shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances under any Facility, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to, and Collateral received by, any other Lender under such Facility, if any, in respect of such other Lender's Advances under such Facility, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders under such Facility a participation in such portion of each such other Lender's Advances under such Facility, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of such other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender's Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such

82

Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender's Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.

2.6Maximum Advances. The aggregate principal amount of:

(w)    US-Canada Revolving Advances plus US-Canada Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum US-Canada Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding US-Canada Letters of Credit or (b) the US-Canada Formula Amount (without deduction of US-Canada Swing Loans);

(x)    European Revolving Advances plus European Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum European Revolving Advance Amount less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding European Letters of Credit and (ii) the European Formula Amount (without deduction of European Swing Loans);

(y)    English Revolving Advances plus English Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum English Revolving Advance Amount less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding English Letters of Credit and (ii) the English Formula Amount (without deduction of English Swing Loans); and

(z)    French Revolving Advances plus French Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum French Revolving Advance Amount less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding French Letters of Credit and (ii) the French Formula Amount (without deduction of French Swing Loans).

The aggregate Advances (a) to the English Borrowers shall not exceed at any time the Maximum English Advance Amount and (b) to the French Borrowers shall not exceed the Maximum French Advance Amount.

2.7Manner and Repayment of Advances.

(a)The Revolving Advances and Swing Loans shall be due and payable in full in the Applicable Currency on the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Loans under the Applicable Facility and next, pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Lenders under such Facility, to the

83

outstanding Revolving Advances under such Facility (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.21).

(b)Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Applicable Agent on the date received by Applicable Agent. Applicable Agent shall conditionally credit the applicable Borrowers' Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Applicable Agent or, in the case of amounts received by the European Agent, the Business Day upon which such items clear in accordance with the European Agent's standard practice (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the "Application Date"). Applicable Agent is not, however, required to credit the applicable Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Applicable Agent and Applicable Agent may charge the applicable Borrowers' Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Applicable Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, the Loan Parties agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Applicable Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. Borrowers further agree that during a Dominion Period there is a monthly float charge payable to Agent for Agent's sole benefit, in an amount equal to (y) the face amount of all items of payment received during the prior month (including items of payment received by Agent as a wire transfer or electronic depository check) multiplied by (z) the Revolving Interest Rate with respect to Domestic Rate Loans for one (1) Business Day under the US-Canada Facility. All proceeds received by Agents shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.8(h).

(c)All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Applicable Agent in the Applicable Currency at the applicable Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. Local Time, on the due date therefor in the Applicable Currency immediately available to Applicable Agent. Applicable Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging the applicable Borrowers' Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2 hereof.

(d)Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to Applicable Agent on behalf of the applicable Lenders under the applicable Facility to the applicable Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 P.M., Local Time, in the Applicable Currency and in immediately available funds.

2.8Repayment of Excess Advances. If at any time, including, without limitation on any Computation Date, the aggregate balance of outstanding Revolving Advances, US-Canada Swing Loans and/or US-Canada Advances taken as a whole, European Revolving Advances, European Swing Loans, English Revolving Advances, French Revolving Advances, English Swing Loans or French Swing Loans, exceeds the maximum amount of such type of Advances

84

and/or Advances individually or taken as a whole (as applicable) permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the applicable Payment Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

2.9Statement of Account.

(a)US-Canada Borrowers' Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("US-CanadaBorrowers' Account") in the name of the US-Canada Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each US-Canada Advance made by Agent or US-Canada Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any US-Canada Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any US-Canada Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the US-Canada Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent, US-Canada Lenders and US-Canada Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon US-Canada Loan Parties in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between US-Canada Lenders and US-Canada Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of US-Canada Borrowers' specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to US-Canada Borrowers' Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of US-Canada Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

(b)European Borrowers' Account. European Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account ("European Borrowers' Account") in the name of the European Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each European Advance made by European Agent or European Lenders, the Facility under which such European Advance was made and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by European Agent to record the date and amount of any European Advance shall not adversely affect European Agent or any European Lender. The records of European Agent with respect to European Borrowers' Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of European Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.10Letters of Credit.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (a) applicable Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of standby letters of credit denominated in the Applicable Currency for the account of any US-Canada Borrower (the "U.S. Letters of Credit") except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of US-Canada Revolving Advances plus (ii) the outstanding US-Canada Swing Loans, plus (iii) the US-Canada Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding US-Canada Letters of Credit, plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the US-Canada Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the US-Canada Maximum Revolving Advance Amount or (y) the US-Canada Formula Amount (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in clauses (F) and (G) of the definition of US-Canada Formula Amount) and (b) applicable Issuer shall issue or cause the

85

issuance of standby letters of credit and/or bank guarantees denominated in the Applicable Currency for the account of any European Borrower (the "European Letters of Credit") (European Letters of Credit made to the English Borrowers being "English Letters of Credit" and European Letters of Credit made to the French Borrowers being "French Letters of Credit") except to the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of:

(i)the outstanding European Revolving Advances plus (ii) the outstanding European Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding European Letter of Credit plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the European Letters of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum European Revolving Advance Amount and (y) the European Formula Amount (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in clauses (B) and (C) of the definitions of English Formula Amount and French Formula Amount);

(ii)the outstanding English Revolving Advances plus (ii) the outstanding English Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding English Letters of Credit plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the English Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum English Revolving Advance Amount and (y) the English Formula Amount (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in clauses (B) and (C) of such definition); and

(iii)the outstanding French Revolving Advances plus (ii) the outstanding French Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding French Letters of Credit plus (iv) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the French Letters of Credit to be issued to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum French Revolving Advance Amount and (y) the French Formula Amount (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in clauses (B) and (C) of such definition).

The (a) Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding US-Canada Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the US-Canada Letter of Credit Sublimit, (b) Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding European Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the European Letter of Credit Sublimit, (c) Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding English Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the English Letter of Credit Sublimit and (d) Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding French Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the French Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit under any Facility shall be deemed to be, in the case of the US-Canada Facility, Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances under such Facility or, in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility, LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month, and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans (as applicable) under such Facility. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 3.2 hereof). As of the Closing Date, those letters of credit set forth on Schedule 2.10 attached hereto and made a part hereof, which were issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and are outstanding on

86

the Closing Date are hereby deemed to be US-Canada Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder.

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, no Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon such Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which such Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.11Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Applicable Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any applicable Borrower, may request the applicable Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuer, with a copy to Applicable Agent at the applicable Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer's form of Letter of Credit Application (the "Letter of Credit Application") completed to the satisfaction of Agent and Applicable Agent (which, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for a European Borrower, (i) must include the form of Letter of Credit to be issued, which must be in an agreed form and (ii) at the direction of the European Borrowing Agent, be denominated in either Euros, British Pounds Sterling or Dollars and identify the applicable Issuer) and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Applicable Agent or applicable Issuer may reasonably request. The applicable Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Applicable Agent or any Lender under the applicable Facility that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.3 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder under such Facility have been terminated for any reason.

(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, or other written demands for payment, or acceptances of usance drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit's date of issuance and in no event later than the last day of the Term. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the "UCP") or the International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the "ISP98 Rules"), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by the

87

applicable Issuer and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder.

(c)Applicable Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders under the applicable Facility of the request by Applicable Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

2.12Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a)Applicable Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" of each Letter of Credit. If Applicable Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Applicable Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct the applicable Issuer to deliver to Applicable Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Applicable Agent's instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, the application therefor.

(b)In connection with all trade Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by any Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower under the applicable Facility hereby appoints such Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred: (i) to sign and/or endorse any such Borrower's name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign any such Borrower's name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department or Canada Border Services Agency or any equivalent agency in any relevant jurisdiction (collectively, "Customs") in the name of such Borrower or such Issuer or such Issuer's designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in any such Borrower's name or such Issuer's, or in the name of such Issuer's designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. No Agent, Issuer nor any of their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for any Agent's, any Issuer's or their respective attorney's willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

2.13Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit under any Facility, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under such Facility shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) under such Facility and the amount of such drawing, respectively, and, in each case if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is issued.

88

(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable Issuer will promptly notify Applicable Agent and Applicable Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Applicable Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, the applicable Borrowers under the applicable Facility shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse such Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") such Issuer in the Applicable Currency prior to 1:00 p.m. Local Time, on each date that an amount is paid by any Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") in an amount equal to the amount so paid by such Issuer. In the event the applicable Borrowers fail to reimburse any Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon Local Time, on the Drawing Date, such Issuer will promptly notify Applicable Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under the applicable Facility thereof, and the applicable Borrowers under such Facility shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as under the US-Canada Facility, a Domestic Rate Loan in Dollars (and, if such US-Canada Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount equal to the amount so paid by the applicable Issuer in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof) be made by Lenders under such Facility, or under the English Facility or the French Facility a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments under such Facility shall be unconditionally obligated to fund (in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility in the currency in which such applicable draw was denominated) such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.3 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances under such Facility hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.13(c) immediately below. Any notice given by any Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(c)Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under the applicable Facility shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.13(b) make available to the applicable Issuer through Applicable Agent at the applicable Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.21) under such Facility of the amount of the drawing (and, if in the case of the US-Canada Facility such US-Canada Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount equal to the amount paid by the applicable Issuer in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof, and in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility, in the currency in which such applicable draw was denominated), whereupon the participating Lenders under such Facility shall (subject to Section 2.13(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan under the US-Canada Facility, or a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one month in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility, as applicable, to the applicable Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Applicable Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Issuer, the amount of such Lender's applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage under such Facility of such amount by 2:00 p.m. Local time, on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per

89

annum equal to (x) under the US-Canada Facility the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (y) under the English Facility or the French Facility, the Overnight LIBO Rate, in each case during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date, and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as Domestic Rate Loans under the US-Canada Facility, or the Overnight LIBO Rate in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility, on and after the fourth (4^th) day following the Drawing Date. Applicable Agent and the applicable Issuer will promptly give notice to the Lenders under the applicable Facility of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of any Agent or any Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under such Facility to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.13(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.13(c)(i) and Section 2.13(c)(ii) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Applicable Agent or the applicable Issuer of a drawing.

(d)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing under the Facility that is not converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan under the US-Canada Facility or a LIBOR Rate Loan in the case of the English Facility or the French Facility with an Interest Period of one (1) month, to the applicable Borrowers under such Facility in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.13(b), because of the Loan Parties' failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, such Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Applicable Agent a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable in the Applicable Currency on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the relevant Revolving Interest Rate (which, with respect to a Letter of Credit Borrowing under this Section 2.13(d) by the European Borrowers, shall have an Interest Period of one (1) month). Each applicable Lender's payment to Applicable Agent pursuant to Section 2.13(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a "Participation Advance" from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.13.

(e)Each applicable Lender's Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) the applicable Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.14Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by Applicable Agent for the account of the applicable Issuer of immediately available funds from the applicable Borrowers under any Facility (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such Issuer or such Agent under any Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to such

90

Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by such Issuer or such Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Applicable Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under such Facility, in the same funds as those received by Applicable Agent, the amount of such Lender's applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage under such Facility of such funds, except Applicable Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage under such Facility of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under such Facility that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Applicable Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding a Revolving Commitment under such Facility have funded any portion of any Defaulting Lender's Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21, Applicable Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).

(b)If any Issuer or any Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by any Borrower to such Issuer or such Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender under the applicable Facility shall, on demand of Applicable Agent, forthwith return to such Issuer or such Agent the amount of its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage under the Facility of any amounts so returned by such Issuer or such Agent plus interest at (x) under the US-Canada Facility, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and (y) under the English Facility or the French Facility, the Overnight LIBO Rate.

2.15Documentation. Each applicable Borrower under any Facility agrees to be bound by the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit Application and by the applicable Issuer's interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by such Issuer's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such Issuer's interpretations may be different from such Borrower's own. In the event of a conflict between any Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), no Issuer shall be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Applicable Borrowing Agent's or any Borrower's instructions or those contained in any Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.16Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

2.17Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit,

91

and the obligations of the applicable Borrowers under any Facility to reimburse any Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.17 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i)any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against any Issuer, any Agent, any Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii)the failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.13;

(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower, any Agent, any Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, any Agent, any Issuer or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee may be acting), any Issuer, any Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of such Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v)the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if any Issuer or any of such Issuer's Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi)payment by any Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not excuse such Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);

92

(vii)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii)any failure by any Issuer or any of such Issuer's Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by Applicable Borrowing Agent, unless the Applicable Agent and such Issuer have each received written notice from Applicable Borrowing Agent of such failure within three (3) Business Days after such Issuer shall have furnished Applicable Agent and Applicable Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix)the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;

(x)any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party thereto;

(xi)the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding or Insolvency Event with respect to any Loan Party;

(xii)the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(xiii)the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the obligations of the Lenders to make Advances have been terminated; and

(xiv)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.18Liability for Acts and Omissions.

(a)As between Borrowers and Issuers, Swing Loan Lenders, Agents and Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, no Issuer shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if such Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute

93

between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuer's rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve any Issuer from liability for such Issuer's gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall any Issuer or any Issuer's Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Issuer and each of its Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by such Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on such Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an "Order") and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by any Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower, any Agent or any Lender.

94

2.19Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)Subject to Section 7.1 hereof, when any Loan Party sells or otherwise disposes of (i) any Collateral other than Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business or (ii) any other property in connection with a Sale and Leaseback Transaction, in either case with a value in excess of $1,000,000, such Loan Party shall repay the Advances under the relevant Facility in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross proceeds less the reasonable direct costs of such sales or other dispositions), such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such net proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for the Applicable Agent. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Such repayments shall be applied to outstanding Advances under the relevant Facility (including cash collateralization of all Obligations relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(b); provided, however that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be applied to cash collateralize any Obligations related to outstanding Letters of Credit last) in such order as the Applicable Agent may determine, subject to the relevant Borrowers' ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b)In the event of the issuance of any Equity Interests by or capital contributions to any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by such Loan Party of the net cash proceeds of any issuance of Equity Interests, repay the Advances under the relevant Facility, in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such net cash proceeds in the case of an issuance of Equity Interests by or capital contribution to any Loan Party. Such repayments will be applied in the same manner as set forth in Section 11.5.

(c)All proceeds received by any Loan Party or any Agent (i) under any insurance policy on account of damage or destruction of any assets or property of any Loan Party, or (ii) as a result of any taking or condemnation of any assets or property, not permitted to be retained by Loan Parties pursuant to Section 6.7, shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.7 hereof.

(d)If on any Computation Date the aggregate principal amount of:

(i)US-Canada Revolving Advances plus US-Canada Swing Loans outstanding at any time exceeds the lesser of (a) the Maximum US-Canada Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding US-Canada Letters of Credit or (b) the US-Canada Formula Amount (without deduction of US-Canada Swing Loans;

(ii)European Revolving Advances plus European Swing Loans outstanding at any time exceeds the lesser of (a) the Maximum European Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding European Letters of Credit and (b) the European Formula Amount (without deduction of European Swing Loans);

95

(iii)English Revolving Advances plus English Swing Loans outstanding at any time exceeds the lesser of (a) the Maximum English Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding English Letters of Credit and (b) the English Formula Amount (without deduction of English Swing Loans); or

(iv)French Revolving Advances plus French Swing Loans outstanding at any time exceeds the lesser of (a) the Maximum French Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding French Letters of Credit and (b) the French Formula Amount (without deduction of French Swing Loans),

in each case as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional currencies and Dollars, then the Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent of the same. The Borrowers shall pay or prepay (subject to Borrowers' indemnity obligations under Section 2.2(g)) within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notice such that the aggregate principal amount of:

(w)    US-Canada Revolving Advances plus US-Canada Swing Loans outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum US-Canada Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding US-Canada Letters of Credit or (b) the US-Canada Formula Amount (without deduction of US-Canada Swing Loans); or

(x)    European Revolving Advances plus European Swing Loans outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum European Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding European Letters of Credit and (b) the European Formula Amount (without deduction of European Swing Loans);

(y)    English Revolving Advances plus English Swing Loans outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum English Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding English Letters of Credit and (b) the English Formula Amount (without deduction of English Swing Loans); or

(z)    French Revolving Advances plus French Swing Loans outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum French Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding French Letters of Credit and (b) the French Formula Amount (without deduction of French Swing Loans),

in each case after giving effect to such payments or prepayments.

2.20Use of Proceeds.

(a)Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) pay fees and expenses relating to this transaction, (ii) to repay indebtedness of the European Loan Parties, (iii) provide for Borrowers' working capital needs and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit and (iv) in

96

the European Agent's discretion during a European Dominion Period or at any time at which it considers (acting reasonably) that the Collateral of a French Borrower may be at risk, the European Agent may request that the proceeds of the French Revolving Advances shall be used by the relevant French Borrower to pay all outstanding amounts (if any) payable at that time to all RoT Suppliers. Following such payment, the relevant French Borrower will use the remaining proceeds of French Revolving Advances in accordance with (i) to (iii) above.

(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.20(a) above, none of Borrowers, Guarantors or any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor shall use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law.

2.21Defaulting Lender.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.21 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b)(i) except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.21, Revolving Advances under each Facility shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments under such Facility which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages under such Facility, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances under any Facility shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment under such Facility in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages under such Facility; provided, that, Applicable Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by such Applicable Agent for such Defaulting Lender's benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Applicable Agent. Applicable Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to the applicable Borrowers under the applicable Facility the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii)Fees pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.

(iii)if under any Facility any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Obligations (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which the applicable Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender under such Facility, then:

97

(A)the Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in such outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under such Facility shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments under such Facility in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances under such Facility made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under such Facility plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in outstanding Swing Loans under such Facility plus such Lender's reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under such Facility to exceed the applicable Revolving Commitment Amount under such Facility of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

(B)if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Applicable Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans under such Facility that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuer, such Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) under such Facility in accordance with Section3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;

(C)if the applicable Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit under such Facility pursuant to clause (B) above, such Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit under such Facility during the period such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit under such Facility are cash collateralized;

(D)if the Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit under such Facility is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments under such Facility pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments under such Facility in accordance with such reallocation; and

98

(E)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit under such Facility is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuer or any other Lender under such Facility hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit under such Facility shall be payable to the applicable Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such applicable Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit under such Facility is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iv)so long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender under any Facility, applicable Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans under such Facility and the applicable Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit under such Facility, unless such Issuer is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender's Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit under such Facility and all Swing Loans under such Facility (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments under such Facility and/or cash collateral for such Letters of Credit under such Facility will be provided by the applicable Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan under such Facility or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit under such Facility shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to any Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of "European Required Lenders" and "US-Canada Required Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage.

(d)Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.21, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify any Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.21 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, any Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

99

(e)In the event that the Agents, the Borrowers, Swing Loan Lenders and each Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under any Facility, then Participation Commitments of the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) under such Facility of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under such Facility shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Revolving Commitment under such Facility, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances of the other Lenders under such Facility as the Applicable Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances under such Facility in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage under such Facility.

(f)If any Swing Loan Lender or any Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under any applicable Facility has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and such Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swing Loan Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to such Swing Loan Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

2.22Payment of Obligations. Applicable Agent may charge to the applicable Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance under the applicable Facility or, at the discretion of the applicable Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan under such Facility (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder (including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon maturity or otherwise), (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Applicable Agent or any Lender under such Facility pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof or any corresponding provision in any Other Document and (b) all expenses which Applicable Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h), and (iii) any sums expended by Applicable Agent or any Lender under such Facility due to any Borrower's failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower's obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.4, 4.7, 6.4, 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9 hereof, any corresponding provision in any Other Document, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances under any Facility are not actually funded by the other Lenders under such Facility in respect of any such amounts so charged, all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Applicable Agent and Applicable Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

If (i) any Optional Currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the Euro or (ii) any Optional Currency and the Euro are at the same time recognized by any governmental authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation and the Agents or the European Required Lenders shall so request in a notice delivered to the applicable Borrowing Agent, then the amount of any Letter of Credit denominated in such Optional Currency shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such Optional Currency to the Euro at the exchange rate established by that nation for the purpose of implementing the replacement of the relevant Optional Currency by the Euro.

107

(b)Additional Compensation Under Certain Circumstances. The Borrowers agree, at the request of any Lender, to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or reduction in return that such Lender shall reasonably determine under Section 2.27(a) shall be incurred or sustained by such Lender as a result of the replacement of any Optional Currency by the Euro and that would not have been incurred or sustained but for the transactions provided for herein.

3.1Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and European Swing Loans and with respect to Euro-Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of more than three months, at the end of each three month period), provided further that all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term.

For the purpose of articles L. 313-1, L. 313-2, R 313-1 and R.313-2 of the French Consumer Code (Code de la Consommation), each party to this Agreement acknowledges that by virtue of certain characteristics of this Agreement (including the variable interest rate applicable to the Loans), the effective global rate (taux effectif global) of the French Revolving Advances and French Swing Loans cannot be calculated on the date of this Agreement. An indicative calculation of the taux effectif global will be set out in a letter from the European Agent to each French Borrower on or before the execution of this Agreement.

If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable Contract Rate during such extension. For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada): (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated on the basis of a period of time other than a calendar year, such rate used in such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) such rate, multiplied by (y) the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is calculated ends, and divided by (z) the number of days in such period of time; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. If any provision of this Agreement or Other Documents would oblige any Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest, and, thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

3.6Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law; (ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

3.7Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term "Lender" shall include any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or any Issuer and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or

113

maintains any Euro-Rate Loans, LIBOR Rate Loans, Overnight Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a)subject such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or such Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan or Euro-Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or such Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or such Issuer);

(b)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Issuer or such Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c)impose on such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or such Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or such Issuer of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or such Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or such Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case the applicable Borrowers shall promptly pay such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or such Issuer, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or such Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the LIBOR Rate or the Euro-Rate, as the case may be. Such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or such Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to the applicable Borrowing Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.8Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that any Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

(a)reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate or Euro-Rate for any Interest Period; or

(b)deposits in the relevant amount, the applicable currency and for the relevant maturity are not available in the relevant interbank LIBOR market, with respect to an

114

outstanding Euro-Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, a proposed Euro-Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan into a Euro-Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan; or

(c)the making, maintenance or funding of any Euro-Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law), or

(d)the Euro-Rate or LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Euro-Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan,

then Applicable Agent shall give Applicable Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested Euro-Rate Loan on behalf of the US Borrowers shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, and any such requested LIBOR Rate Loan on behalf of the European Borrowers shall be made as a European Revolving Advance at a rate determined by the European Agent which expresses a percentage rate per annum equal to the European Lenders or applicable European Lender (as applicable) cost of funding its or their participation in such European Revolving Advance, unless Applicable Borrowing Agent shall notify Applicable Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time, two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Euro-Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or Euro-Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Euro-Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Applicable Borrowing Agent shall notify Applicable Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time, two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Euro-Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Euro-Rate Loans under the US-Canada Facility shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, and any outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans under the English Facility and the French Facility shall be converted to a European Revolving Advance at a rate determined by the European Agent which expresses a percentage rate per annum equal to the European Lenders or applicable European Lender (as applicable) cost of funding its or their participation in such European Revolving Advance, or, if Applicable Borrowing Agent shall notify Applicable Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time, two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Rate Loan or Euro-Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or Euro-Rate Loan, as applicable, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Euro-Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Euro-Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or Euro-Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans or Euro-Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or Euro-Rate Loan into an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or Euro-Rate Loan.

115

3.9Capital Adequacy.

(a)In the event that any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender or any Lender shall have determined that any Applicable Law or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any Change in Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Issuer or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term "Lender" shall include any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender or any Lender and the office or branch where any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans or Euro-Rate Loans) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender or such Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (including the making of any Swing Loans) to a level below that which such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Agent's, such Swing Loan Lender's and such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender or such Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to each Agent, each Swing Loan Lender and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the Applicable Law, rule, regulation, guideline or condition.

(b)A certificate of any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender or any Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender or such Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) hereof when delivered to Applicable Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.10Taxes.

(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if the Loan Parties shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) if the deduction or withholding is in respect of Indemnified Taxes the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.10) each Agent, each Swing Loan Lender, each Lender, each Issuer or each Participant, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Loan Parties shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Loan Parties

116

shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b)The Loan Parties shall pay and, within three (3) days of demand therefor, indemnify each of the Secured Parties against any cost, liability or loss incurred by the relevant Secured Party in relation to all Other Taxes. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.10(a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c)Each Loan Party shall indemnify any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender, any Lender, any Issuer and any Participant, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.10) payable or paid by such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, such Issuer, or such Participant, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Applicable Borrowing Agent by any Lender, any Swing Loan Lender, any Participant, or any Issuer (with a copy to Applicable Agent), or by any Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or any Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Body, the Loan Parties shall deliver to Applicable Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Applicable Agent.

(e)Any Foreign Lender under the US-Canada Facility that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any US Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any Other Document shall deliver to the Borrowing Agent (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. With respect to any payments by the US Borrowers, notwithstanding the submission of such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations or other Applicable Law. Further, Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender, Issuer or assignee or participant of a Lender or Issuer for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Code. In addition, any US-Canada Lender, if requested by the Borrowing Agent or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation

117

prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or Agent as will enable the US Borrowers or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any US Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender (or other Lender) under the US-Canada Facility shall deliver to Borrowing Agent and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender (or other Lender) becomes a US-Canada Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowing Agent or Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender (or other Lender) is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(i)two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(ii)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 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of any US Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of US Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E,

(iii)any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit US Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, or

(iv)To the extent that any US-Canada Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall submit to Agent two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed by Applicable Law demonstrating that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender.

(f)Status of Lenders:

(i)A Lender and each Loan Party that is required to make a payment to which that Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Loan Party to obtain authorization to make payment without a Tax Deduction on account of Tax imposed by the United Kingdom, provided that where a Lender has (where relevant) confirmed its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence below its name on the relevant signature page or otherwise provided notification of the same to the Applicable Agent and the Applicable Borrowing Agent, it shall be under no further obligation pursuant to this paragraph (except where a Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs or where HM Revenue & Customs has not given authority to make payments to that Lender

118

without a Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the Borrower DTTP Filing and, in each case, the Applicable Borrowing Agent has notified the relevant Lender and the Applicable Agent in writing).

(ii)If a Lender has confirmed its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence, the relevant Loan Parties shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender within thirty (30) days of the date of such confirmation.

(iii)Each Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall state in writing to the Applicable Agent at the time it becomes a Party to this Agreement whether it is (A) not a Qualifying Lender, (B) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender) or (C) a Treaty Lender. If a New Lender fails to notify its status in accordance with this paragraph (iii) then such New Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Loan Party) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Applicable Agent in writing which of (A), (B), or (C) applies (and the Applicable Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the relevant Loan Party). Such New Lender shall also specify in writing to the Applicable Agent at the time it becomes a Party to this Agreement whether it is incorporated or acting through a registered office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, failure of a New Lender to comply with this paragraph (iii) will not invalidate the transfer.

(iv)If a Lender becomes aware that it is not or ceases to be a Qualifying Lender, it shall notify the Applicable Agent as soon as reasonably practicable. If the Applicable Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the relevant Loan Party as soon as reasonably practicable.

(v)If a Lender has not confirmed its HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence below its name on the relevant signature page or otherwise provided notification of the same to the Applicable Agent or the Applicable Borrowing Agent, no Loan Party shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of that Lender's Revolving Commitment and/or Participation Commitment (as applicable) or its participation in any Advance unless the Lender otherwise agrees. Each relevant Loan Party shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Applicable Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.

(g)FATCA information:

(i)Subject to paragraph (iii) below, each Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a reasonable request by another Party:

(A)confirm to that other Party whether it is:

(1)a FATCA Exempt Party; or

119

(2)not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(B)supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with FATCA; and

(C)supply to that other Party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party's compliance with any other law, regulation or exchange of information regime.

(ii)If a Party confirms to another Party pursuant to paragraph (i)(A) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that Party shall notify that other Party reasonably promptly.

(iii)Paragraph (i) above shall not oblige any Secured Party to do anything, and paragraph (i)(C) above shall not oblige any other Party to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(A)any law or regulation;

(B)any fiduciary duty; or

(C)any duty of confidentiality.

(iv)If a Party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (i)(A) or (B) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (iii) above applies), then such Party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement or the Other Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the Party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(v)If a Loan Party is a US Tax Obligor or the Applicable Agent reasonably believes that its obligations under FATCA or any other applicable law or regulation require it, each Secured Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days of:

(A)where a Loan Party that became a Loan Party on the date of this Agreement is a US Tax Obligor and the relevant Secured Party became a Secured Party on the date of this Agreement, the date of this Agreement;

(B)where a Loan Party is a US Tax Obligor on the date a new Secured Party becomes a party to this Agreement ("Transfer Date") and the relevant Secured Party is a new Secured Party, the relevant Transfer Date;

(C)the date a new US Tax Obligor accedes as a Loan Party; or

120

(D)where a Loan Party is not a US Tax Obligor, the date of a request from the Applicable Agent,

supply to the Applicable Agent:

(1)a withholding certificate on Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, Form W-9 or any other relevant form; or

(2)any withholding statement or other document, authorization or waiver as the Applicable Agent may require to certify or establish the status of such Secured Party under FATCA or that other law or regulation.

(vi)The Applicable Agent shall provide any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver it receives from a Secured Party pursuant to paragraph (v) above to the relevant Loan Party.

(vii)If any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorisation or waiver provided to the Applicable Agent by a Secured Party pursuant to paragraph (v) above is or becomes materially inaccurate or incomplete, that Secured Party shall promptly update it and provide such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver to the Applicable Agent unless it is unlawful for the Secured Party to do so (in which case the Secured Party shall promptly notify the Applicable Agent). The Applicable Agent shall provide any such updated withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver to the relevant Loan Party.

(viii)The Applicable Agent may rely on any withholding certificate, withholding statement, document, authorization or waiver it receives from a Secured Party pursuant to paragraph (v) or (vii) above without further verification, provided that the Applicable Agent has no reason to believe that such certificate, statement, document, authorization or waiver is inaccurate in any material way. The Applicable Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it under or in connection with paragraphs (v), (vi) or (vii) above.

(h)FATCA Deduction:

(i)Each Party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no Party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(ii)Each Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the Party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall

121

notify the Company and the Applicable Agent and the Applicable Agent shall notify the other Secured Parties.

(i)If a payment made to any Lender, any Swing Loan Lender, any Participant, any Issuer, or any Agent under this Agreement or any Other Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person fails 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, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent shall deliver to the Applicable Agent (in the case of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender, Participant or an Issuer) and the Borrowing Agent (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller of such Person, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by Agent or Borrowing Agent sufficient for Agent and the Loan Parties to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, such Participant, such Issuer, or such Agent has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

(j)If any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender, any Lender, any Participant or any Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which the Loan Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10, it shall pay to the Loan Parties an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 3.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund); net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, such Participant, or such Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, such Participant, or such Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Body) to such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, such Participant or such Issuer in the event such Agent, such Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, such Participant or such Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Body. This Section 3.10 shall not be construed to require any Agent, any Swing Loan Lender, any Lender, any Participant, or any Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

(k)If any amount payable to a French Lender by a French Borrower under this Agreement or the Other Documents is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated) treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for such French Borrower by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a French Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a registered office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that French Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, such French Borrower may, whilst the circumstance giving rise to the non-deductibility for French tax purposes continues, give the European Agent notice of cancellation of the French Revolving

122

Commitment of that French Lender and its intention to procure the repayment of that French Lender's participation in the French Revolving Advances.

(l)VAT:

(i)All amounts expressed to be payable under this Agreement or an Other Document by a Loan Party to a Secured Party 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 3.10(l)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by a Secured Party to a Loan Party under this Agreement of Other Document and that Secured Party is required to account to the relevant Tax Authority for the VAT, that Loan Party must pay to such Secured Party (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 Secured Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Loan Party).

(ii)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by a Secured Party (the "Supplier") to any other Secured Party (the "Recipient") under this Agreement or an Other Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the "Relevant Party") is required by the terms of this Agreement or Other Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient 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 Recipient must (where this paragraph (A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant Tax Authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

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

(iii)Where this Agreement or an Other Document requires a Loan Party to reimburse or indemnify a Secured Party for any cost or expense, that Loan Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Secured Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Secured Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant Tax Authority.

123

(iv)Any reference in Section 3.10(l) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union)).

(v)In relation to any supply made by a Secured Party to a Loan Party under this Agreement or an Other Document, if reasonably requested by such Secured Party, that Loan Party must promptly provide such Secured Party with details of that Loan Party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Secured Party's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(m)Tax Mitigation:

(i)Each European Lender shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate any circumstances which arise and which would result in any amount becoming payable under or pursuant to Section 3.10 including (but not limited to) transferring its rights and obligations under this Agreement and Other Documents to another Affiliate or office, provided that, in respect of the French Facility, such Affiliate or other office shall be a French Qualifying Lender.

(ii)Section 3.10(m)(i) does not in any way limit the obligations of any European Loan Party under this Agreement or any Other Documents.

(iii)Each European Loan Party shall promptly indemnify each European Lender for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by that European Lender as a result of steps taken by it under Section 3.10(m)(i).

(iv)A European Lender is not obliged to take any steps under Section 3.10(m)(i) if, in the opinion of that European Lender (acting in good faith), that such steps would not reduce or eliminate, as the case may be, amounts otherwise becoming payable under or pursuant to Section 3.10 or to do so might be disadvantageous to it.

3.11Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an "Affected Lender") (a) makes demand upon Borrowers for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.9 hereof, (b) is unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or Euro-Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(h) hereof, (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent requested by Applicable Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(h) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request by Applicable Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, as the case may be, by notice in writing to Applicable Agent and such Affected Lender (i) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining a replacement Lender satisfactory to Applicable Agent and Borrowers (the "Replacement Lender"); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire

and assume all of the Affected Lender's Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage, as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to approval by Applicable Agent in its good faith business judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender's Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender. Any Replacement Lender with respect to the French Facility must be a French Qualifying Lender. No Replacement Lender with respect to the French Facility may be incorporated, or acting through a registered office situated, in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction without the prior consent of the European Borrower Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld

3.12Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the "Original Currency") into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal lending procedures Applicable Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

3.13Indemnity in Certain Events. The obligation of Borrowers in respect of any sum due from any Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender may in accordance with normal lending procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, Borrowers jointly and severally agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Lender against such loss.

3.14Optional Currency Not Available. If at any time the Applicable Agent shall have determined that a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to any Optional Currency (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), then (i) the Applicable Agent shall notify the Applicable Borrowing Agent of any such determination, and (ii) until the Applicable Agent notifies the Applicable Borrowing Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, the availability of Letters of Credit in the affected Optional Currency shall be suspended.

3.15Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as

125

a result of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) the assignment of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by any Borrower or any Applicable Borrowing Agent pursuant to Section 3.11, then, in any such event, the European Loan Parties shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted IBO Rate that would have been applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Relevant Interbank Market. A certificate 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 Borrowing Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The European Loan Parties shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

At any time following demand by Agent for payment of all Obligations, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia

128

of the US Collateral and the US Collateral in whatever physical form contained, including: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If Agent exercises this right to take possession of the US Collateral, US Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent.

In the event the value of such Borrowers' domestic and Canadian Inventory, Receivables or Fixed Assetsas so determined pursuant to such appraisal, is less than anticipated by Agent or Lenders, such that the Revolving Advances are in excess of such applicable Advances permitted hereunder, then, promptly upon Agent's demand for same, such Borrowers shall make mandatory prepayments of the then outstanding applicable Revolving Advances so as to eliminate the excess Advances.

130

expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone, facsimile, telegraph, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to the applicable Borrowers' Account and added to the Obligations.

131

arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be acceptable to Agent, which shall spring to Full Dominion during a Dominion Period, or (ii) depository accounts ("Depository Accounts") established at Agent for the deposit of such proceeds, which shall spring to Full Dominion during a Dominion Period. Each applicable Loan Party, Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall enter into a deposit account control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent that is sufficient to give Agent "control" (for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code) over such account and which directs such Blocked Account Bank to transfer such funds, during a Dominion Period, so deposited on a daily basis or at other times acceptable to Agent, either to any account maintained by Agent at said Blocked Account Bank or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) at Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and all other holders of the Obligations, and Borrowing Agent shall obtain the agreement by such Blocked Account Bank to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. Agent shall, during a Dominion Period, apply all funds received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.

(a)(i) Keep all its insurable properties and properties in which such Loan Party has an interest insured against the hazards of fire, flood, sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar in size and scope to such Loan Party's including business interruption insurance; (ii) maintain a bond in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Loan Party insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured's officers and employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of such Loan Party either directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such assets; (iii) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others; (iv) maintain all such worker's compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state, province or jurisdiction in which such Loan Party is engaged in business; (v) furnish Applicable Agent with (A) copies of all policies and evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days before any expiration date, and (B) appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Applicable Agent, naming Applicable Agent as an additional insured and mortgagee and/or lender loss payee (as applicable) as its interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, and providing (I) that all proceeds thereunder shall be payable to Applicable Agent, (II) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and (III) that such policy and loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days prior written notice is given to Applicable Agent (or in the case of non-payment, at least ten (10) days prior written notice). All of the coverages required in this Section 6.7(a) shall be maintained with financially sound and reputable carriers having a financial strength rating of at least A- by A.M. Best Company. In the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Applicable Agent and the applicable Loan Party to make payment for such loss to Applicable Agent and not to such Loan Party and Applicable Agent jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Loan Party and Applicable Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such Loan Party's name thereon and do such other things as Applicable Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash.

(b)Each Loan Party shall take all actions required under the Flood Laws and/or requested by Applicable Agent to assist in ensuring that each Lender is in compliance with the Flood Laws applicable to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, providing Applicable Agent with the address and/or GPS coordinates of each structure on any real property that will be subject to a mortgage in favor of Applicable Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, and, to the extent required, obtaining flood insurance for such property, structures and contents prior to such property, structures and contents becoming Collateral, and thereafter maintaining such flood insurance in full force and effect for so long as required by the Flood Laws.

(c)With respect to any claims in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year and with respect to any claims during the continuance of a

146

Default or Event of Default, Applicable Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in Sections 6.7(a)(i) and (iii) and 6.7(b) above. All loss recoveries received by Applicable Agent under any such insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Applicable Agent in its sole discretion shall determine. Any surplus shall be paid by Applicable Agent to Loan Parties or applied as may be otherwise required by law. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by Loan Parties to Applicable Agent, on demand. Anything hereinabove to the contrary notwithstanding, and subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth below, Applicable Agent shall remit to Borrowing Agent or European Borrowing Agent (as applicable) insurance proceeds received by Applicable Agent during any calendar year under insurance policies procured and maintained by Loan Parties which insure Loan Parties' insurable properties to the extent such insurance proceeds do not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate during such calendar year or $1,000,000 per occurrence. In the event the amount of insurance proceeds received by Applicable Agent for any occurrence exceeds $1,000,000, then Applicable Agent shall not be obligated to remit the insurance proceeds to Borrowing Agent or European Borrowing Agent (as applicable) unless Borrowing Agent or European Borrowing Agent (as applicable) shall provide Applicable Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Applicable Agent that the insurance proceeds will be used by Loan Parties to repair, replace or restore the insured property which was the subject of the insurable loss. In the event Borrowing Agent or European Borrowing Agent (as applicable) has previously received (or, after giving effect to any proposed remittance by Applicable Agent to Borrowing Agent or European Borrowing Agent (as applicable) would receive) insurance proceeds which equal or exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate during any calendar year, then Applicable Agent may, in its sole discretion, either remit the insurance proceeds to Borrowing Agent or European Borrowing Agent (as applicable) upon Borrowing Agent or European Borrowing Agent (as applicable) providing Applicable Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Applicable Agent that the insurance proceeds will be used by Loan Parties to repair, replace or restore the insured property which was the subject of the insurable loss, or apply the proceeds to the Obligations, as aforesaid. The agreement of Applicable Agent to remit insurance proceeds in the manner above provided shall be subject in each instance to satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (x) No Event of Default or Default shall then have occurred, (y) Loan Parties shall use such insurance proceeds promptly to repair, replace or restore the insurable property which was the subject of the insurable loss and for no other purpose, and (z) such remittances shall be made under such procedures as Applicable Agent may establish. If any Loan Party fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Applicable Agent, if Applicable Agent so elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of such Loan Party, which payments shall be charged to Borrowers' Account and constitute part of the obligations.

6.8Payment of Indebtedness and Leasehold Obligations. Pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy (i) at or before maturity (subject, where applicable, to specified grace periods) all its Indebtedness, except when the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to be material and adverse to any Loan Party or when the amount or validity thereof is currently being Properly Contested, subject at all times to any applicable subordination arrangement in favor of Lenders and (ii) when due its rental obligations under all material leases of real property under which it is

147

a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect.

6.9Environmental Matters.

(a)Except where any non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, result in liability for Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in excess of $1,000,000 or result in criminal liability for any Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof, ensure that the Real Property and all operations and businesses conducted thereon are in compliance and remain in compliance with all Environmental Laws in all respects and it shall manage any and all Hazardous Materials on any Real Property in compliance with Environmental Laws.

(b)Establish and maintain an environmental management and compliance system to assure and monitor continued compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws which system shall include periodic environmental compliance audits to be conducted by knowledgeable environmental professionals. All potential violations and violations of Environmental Laws shall be reviewed with legal counsel to determine any required reporting to applicable Governmental Bodies and any required corrective actions to address such potential violations or violations.

(c)Respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint and take all necessary action in order to safeguard the health of any Person and to avoid subjecting the Collateral or Real Property to any Lien. If any Loan Party shall fail to respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint or any Loan Party shall fail to comply with any of the requirements of any Environmental Laws, Agent on behalf of Lenders may, but without the obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of protecting Agent's interest in the Collateral: (i) give such notices or (ii) enter onto the Real Property (or authorize third parties to enter onto the Real Property) and take such actions as Agent (or such third parties as directed by Agent) deem reasonably necessary or advisable, to remediate, remove, mitigate or otherwise manage with any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders (or such third parties) in the exercise of any such rights, including any sums paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceedings, fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date expended at the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances shall be paid upon demand by Loan Parties, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between Agent, any Lender and any Loan Party.

(d)Promptly upon the written request of Agent from time to time, if any Loan Party has received an Environmental Complaint, or if Agent has a reasonable good faith basis to believe that there has occurred a Hazardous Discharge that requires remedial or investigatory action under Environmental Laws or that is the subject to regulatory inquiry, Loan Parties shall provide Agent, at Loan Parties' expense, with an environmental site assessment or environmental compliance audit report prepared by an environmental engineering firm acceptable in the reasonable opinion of Agent, to assess with a reasonable degree of certainty the existence of a Hazardous Discharge and the potential costs in connection with abatement, remediation and removal of any Hazardous Materials found on, under, at or within the Real Property. Any report

148

or investigation of such Hazardous Discharge proposed and acceptable to the responsible Governmental Body shall be acceptable to Agent. If such estimates, individually or in the aggregate, exceed $250,000, Agent shall have the right to require Loan Parties to post a bond, letter of credit or other security reasonably satisfactory to Agent to secure payment of these costs and expenses.

6.10Standards of Financial Statements. Cause all financial statements referred to in Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12 and 9.13 as to which GAAP is applicable to be complete and correct in all material respects (subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end audit adjustments) and to be prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein (except as disclosed therein and agreed to by such reporting accountants or officer, as applicable).

6.11Federal Securities Laws.

6.13Government Receivables. To the extent any Borrower desires such Receivables to constitute Eligible Receivables, take all steps necessary to protect Applicable Agent's interest in the Collateral under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act, the Financial Administration Act (Canada) and any similar applicable provincial statute, the Uniform Commercial Code and all other applicable state, national, provincial or local statutes or ordinances and deliver to Applicable Agent appropriately endorsed, any instrument or chattel paper connected with any Receivable arising out of any contract between any Loan Party and the relevant Governmental Body or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of them.

6.14Keepwell. If it is a Qualified ECP Loan Party, then jointly and severally, together with each other Qualified ECP Loan Party, hereby absolutely unconditionally and irrevocably (a) guarantees the prompt payment and performance of all Swap Obligations owing by each Non-Qualifying Party (it being understood and agreed that this guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection), and (b) undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any Non-Qualifying Party to honor all of such Non-Qualifying Party's obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Loan Party shall only be liable under this

149

Section 6.14 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 6.14, or otherwise under this Agreement or any Other Document, voidable under applicable law, including applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 6.14 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 6.14 constitute, and this Section 6.14 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a "keepwell, support, or other agreement" for the benefit of each other Borrower and Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.

6.15Designation as Senior Debt. Cause the Obligations to be designated as "Designated Senior Indebtedness" under, and as defined in, the governing documents with respect to the 2027 Convertible Notes (as in effect from time to time).

All employer or employee payments, contributions or premiums required to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Canadian Benefit Plan shall be paid or remitted in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all Applicable Laws.

6.17Proposed Reorganization. The Proposed Reorganization will take place in stages. Immediately upon the liquidation of Invacare CV, Invacare International shall pledge 65% of its equity interest in LUX 1 (of, if a holding company is inserted as the owner of LUX 1, in such first-tier foreign Subsidiary) to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.

6.18Threshold Assets Exceeded. In the event that the total assets of any Excluded Pledge Entity ceases to be less than the Threshold Assets, such Subsidiary shall cease to be an Excluded Pledge Entity and the applicable Loan Party shall promptly deliver to the Agent such original certificates and Security Documents (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) as required pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement or as the Agent shall reasonably deem to be necessary, to perfect the Agent's Lien and security interest in the Subsidiary Stock of such Subsidiary.

6.19Transfer of Accounts of European Borrower; Notification of Account Debtors.

(a)At any time following a European Dominion Triggering Event, the European Borrowers shall (i) at the request of the European Agent, use reasonable endeavors to cause their European Blocked Accounts (each an "Existing Blocked Account") to be transferred to the name of the European Agent and (ii) with respect to any Existing Blocked Accounts held with an account bank in a jurisdiction other than England and Wales, promptly open new European Blocked Accounts with (and, at the discretion of the European Agent, in the name of) the

150

European Agent in London (or an Affiliate of the European Agent in London), such new bank accounts being European Blocked Accounts under and for the purposes of this Agreement.

If new European Blocked Accounts have been established pursuant to this Section (each a "New Blocked Account"), the European Borrowers shall ensure that the proceeds of all Receivables owing to them will immediately be re-directed to the New Blocked Accounts. Until all proceeds of Receivables have been redirected to the New Blocked Accounts, each European Borrower shall cause all amounts on deposit in any Existing Blocked Account to be transferred to a New Blocked Account at the end of each Business Day, provided that if any such European Borrower does not instruct such re-direction or transfer, each of them hereby authorizes the European Agent to give such instructions on their behalf to the applicable Customers and/or the account bank holding such Existing Blocked Account (as applicable).

(b)At any time during a European Dominion Period, each European Borrower agrees that if any of its Customers have not previously received notice of the security interest of the European Agent over its Receivables, it shall, at the request of the European Agent, promptly give notice to such Customers and if European Borrower Agent does not serve such notice, each of them hereby authorizes the European Agent to serve notice on their behalf.

6.20European Cash Management Provisions.

(a)All proceeds of the English Collateral and the French Collateral shall be deposited by the European Borrowers into a blocked account ("European Blocked Accounts") established at the European Agent (or an Affiliate of the European Agent) for the deposit of such proceeds. Each applicable European Borrower, the European Agent and the European Agent in its capacity as account bank with respect to the European Blocked Accounts (or Affiliate of the European Agent in such role, as applicable) shall enter into a deposit account control agreement or equivalent arrangement, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the European Agent that is sufficient to give the European Agent "control" at all times over such account. All funds deposited in such European Blocked Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security interest of the European Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties. During a European Dominion Period, the European Agent may apply all funds received by it from the European Blocked Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations of the European Borrowers (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) in such order as is required hereunder. If the funds standing to the credit of any European Blocked Account are not in the same currency in which the European Swing Loans and/or European Revolving Advances were made (the "Advance Currency"), the European Agent may, in its sole discretion, during a European Cash Dominion Period or following an Event of Default convert such funds to the currency in which the relevant European Swing Loans and/or European Revolving Advances were made at its spot rate of exchange for the purposes of applying the funds to the satisfaction of the European Obligations and European Borrowers agree to hold the European Agents and each European Lender harmless from and against any costs of exchange, the cost of covering the currency in which such European Swing Loan and/or European Revolving Advance was originally made, and from any change in the

151

value of the Advance Currency, or such other currency, in relation to the currency that was due and owing.

(b)The European Loan Parties shall use their reasonable endeavors to ensure that their Customers deliver all remittances with respect to Receivables (whether paid by check, by wire transfer of funds or by any other means available to such Customer) to such European Blocked Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent (A) such Customers cannot deliver all remittances upon Receivables (whether paid by check, by wire transfer of funds or otherwise) to such European Blocked Accounts, or (B) any European Loan Party directly receives any remittances upon Receivables, such European Loan Party shall, at such European Loan Party's sole cost and expense, but on the European Agent's behalf and for the European Agent's account, collect as the European Agent's property and in trust for the European Agent all amounts received with respect to Receivables, and shall not (to the extent possible) commingle such collections with any of the European Loan Party's other funds or use the same and shall as soon as possible and in any event no later than one (1) Business Day after the receipt thereof (i) in the case of remittances paid by check or such other payment instruments as are customarily used to collect receivables by the European Loan Parties in such country, deposit all such remittances in their original form (after supplying any necessary endorsements) and (ii) in the case of remittances paid by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such remittances, in each case, into such European Blocked Accounts.

(c)All deposit accounts (including all European Blocked Accounts, securities accounts and investment accounts of each European Loan Party as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 6.20(c). No European Borrower shall open any new deposit account, securities account or investment account or designate such account as an account into which proceeds of Receivables are to be paid for the purposes of inclusion in the European Formula Amount unless the European Borrowing Agent shall have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the European Agent and:

(i)a security interest (which, in relation to accounts located in England and Wales shall be a fixed charge, rather than a floating charge), governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which such account is located, in form and substance satisfactory to the European Agent has been entered into between the relevant European Borrower and the European Agent;

(ii)in the event that the security interest is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than England and Wales, a side letter or other agreement satisfactory to the European Agent, setting out any required additions or amendments to this Agreement to enable the European Agent to effectively hold and maintain such security interest for the benefit of the Security Parties under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction has been entered into; and

(iii)an account control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the European Agent sufficient to give the European Agent "control" over such account has been entered into between the relevant bank or financial institution, the European Agent and the relevant European Borrower.

(g)Each English Loan Party shall immediately notify the Applicable Agent if it receives a Financial Support Direction or a Contribution Notice from the Pensions Regulator.

(h)All pension schemes established or maintained by any English Loan Party shall comply with all provisions of the relevant law and employ reasonable actuarial assumptions, where relevant; and no member of the Group shall have any unfunded liability in respect of any

153

pension scheme; except as could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

6.22Financial Assistance. Each European Loan Party shall comply in all respects with applicable legislation governing financial assistance and/or capital maintenance, including Sections 678 and 679 of the United Kingdom's Companies Act 2006, articles L225-216 and following of the French Commercial Code, and any equivalent and applicable provisions under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of each European Loan Party, including in relation to the execution of the European Collateral Documents and payment of amounts due under this Agreement.

11.LENDERS' RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1Rights and Remedies.

(a)Upon the occurrence of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 (other than Section 10.7(vii)), all Obligations (other than Hedge Liabilities and Cash Management Liabilities) shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated, (ii) during the continuance of any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Applicable Required Lenders all Obligations (other than Hedge Liabilities and Cash Management Liabilities) under the applicable Facility shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Applicable Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate the applicable facility under this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances under such Facility; and (iii) without limiting Section 8.3 hereof, any Default under Section 10.7(vii) hereof, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be suspended until such time as

174

such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. During the continuance of any Event of Default, any Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents, under the Uniform Commercial Code, under the PPSA under the terms of the Collateral Documents and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Applicable Agent may enter any of any Loan Party's premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Applicable Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require any or each of Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Applicable Agent at a convenient place. During the continuance of an Event of Default with or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Applicable Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Applicable Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Applicable Agent shall give any or each of Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Applicable Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Applicable Agent or any Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Applicable Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, Applicable Agent is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free, nonexclusive license and Applicable Agent is granted permission to use all of each Loan Party's (a) Intellectual Property which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agents and Lenders therefor. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver, receiver-manager, monitor or keeper (a "Receiver") under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof including to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral of Canadian Loan Parties or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for his/her acts, be deemed agent of such Loan Parties and not Agent and the Lenders, and Agent and the Lenders shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, his/her servants or employees. Subject to the provisions of the instrument appointing him/her, any such Receiver shall have power to take possession of Collateral of the Canadian Loan Parties, to preserve Collateral of such Loan Parties or its value, to carry on or concur in carrying on all or any part of the business of such Loan Parties and to sell, lease, license or

175

otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing or otherwise disposing of Collateral of such Loan Parties. To facilitate the foregoing powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including the Canadian Loan Parties, enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by such Loan Parties wherein Collateral of such Loan Parties may be situated, maintain Collateral of such Loan Parties upon such premises, borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis and use Collateral of the Credit Parties directly in carrying on such Loan Parties business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry on such Loan Parties' business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion, determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by Agent, all money received from time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her appointment shall be received in trust for and paid over to Agent. Every such Receiver may, in the discretion of Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and powers of Agent and the Lenders. Agent may, either directly or through its nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue of, and in accordance with, the foregoing provisions of this paragraph and Applicable Law.

(b)To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on any Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for such Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by such Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure such Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to such Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by such Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist such Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Applicable Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Applicable Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Applicable Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing,

176

nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on any Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

11.2Agent's Discretion. Applicable Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Applicable Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agents' or Lenders' rights hereunder as against Loan Parties or each other.

11.3Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which any Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, during the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, such Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Loan Party's property held by such Agent and such Lender or any of their Affiliates to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available to such Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by such Agent or such Lender.

11.4Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.5Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by any Agent on account of the Obligations (including without limitation any amounts on account of any of Cash Management Liabilities or Hedge Liabilities), or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

13.EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.

13.1Term. This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect until January 16, 2018 (the "Term") unless sooner terminated as herein provided. The Loan Parties may terminate this Agreement at any time upon prior written notice to Agent and upon indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations.

181

13.2Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any Agent's or any Lender's rights, or any of the Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of such termination or any Obligations which pursuant to the terms hereof continue to accrue after such date, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights or interests created and Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent that no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been fully and indefeasibly paid, disposed of, concluded or liquidated. The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agents and Lenders hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that Borrowers' Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent that no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) of each Loan Party have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full after the termination of this Agreement or each Loan Party has furnished Agents and Lenders with an indemnification satisfactory to Agents and Lenders with respect thereto. Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights which it may have under the Uniform Commercial Code to demand the filing of termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agents shall not be required to send such termination statements to each Loan Party, or to file them with any filing office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms and all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent that no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been indefeasibly paid in full in immediately available funds. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent that no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) are indefeasibly paid and performed in full.

14.REGARDING AGENT.

14.1Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates each Agent to act in such capacity for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and each Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 2.7(b), 3.3 and 3.4 and each Fee Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Each Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Applicable Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action which, in such Agent's discretion, exposes such Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless such Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to such Agent with respect thereto.

182

14.2Nature of Duties. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. No Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. The duties of each Agent, as applicable, as respects the Advances to Loan Parties shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; no Agent shall have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein.

14.3Lack of Reliance on Agents. Independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower and each Guarantor. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms hereof. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects of any Loan Party, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

14.4Resignation of any Agent; Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign on sixty (60) days written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, Applicable Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers (provided that no such approval by Borrowers shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties

183

of Applicable Agent, and shall in particular, if applicable, succeed to all of such Agent's right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including the Pledge Agreement and all account control agreements), and the term "Agent" or "European Agent", as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the applicable former Agent's rights, powers and duties as such Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent's appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that the applicable Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any Agent's resignation as an Agent, the provisions of this Article 14, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was such Agent under this Agreement (and in the event such resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article 14 and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).

14.5Certain Rights of Agents. If any Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from Applicable Required Lenders; and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Applicable Required Lenders.

14.6Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Each Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by such Agent with reasonable care.

184

14.7Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Applicable Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.8Indemnification. To the extent any Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Loan Parties, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify such Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective Participation Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the total aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent's gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

14.9Each Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of any Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as such Agent specified herein; and the term "Lender" or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include such Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Any Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.10Delivery of Documents. To the extent any Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13, Borrowing Base Certificates from any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Loan Party is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, such Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

14.11Loan Parties' Undertaking to Agents. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby undertakes with each Agent to pay to such Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of such Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any

185

such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Loan Party's obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

14.12No Reliance on Agent's Customer Identification Program. To the extent the Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on any Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism Laws.

14.13Other Agreements. Each of Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Applicable Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Applicable Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by any Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Applicable Agent or Applicable Required Lenders.

14.14Appointment for English Law.

(a)In this Agreement, any English Collateral Document and the European Guaranty Agreement, any rights and remedies exercisable by, any documents to be delivered to, or any other indemnities or obligations in favor of the European Agent shall be, as the case may be, exercisable by, delivered to, or be indemnities or other obligations in favor of, the European Agent (or any other person acting in such capacity) in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties to the extent that the rights, deliveries, indemnities or other obligations relate to any English Collateral Document or the security thereby created or the European Guaranty Agreement. Any obligations of the European Agent (or any other person acting in such capacity) in this Agreement, any English Collateral Document and the European Guaranty Agreement shall be obligations of the European Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties to the extent that the obligations relate to any English Collateral Document or the security thereby created or the European Guaranty Agreement. Additionally, in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties, the European Agent (or any other person acting in such capacity) shall have (i) all the rights, remedies and benefits in favor of any Agent contained in the provisions of the whole of this Article 14, (ii) all the powers of an absolute owner of the security constituted by any English Collateral Document and (iii) all the rights, remedies and powers granted to it and be

subject to all the obligations and duties owed by it under any English Collateral Document, the European Guaranty Agreement and/or any of the Other Documents.

(b)Each Secured Party hereby appoints the European Agent to act as its trustee under and in relation to any English Collateral Document and/or the European Guaranty Agreement and to hold the assets subject to the security or the guarantee obligation thereby created as trustee for the Secured Parties on the trusts and other terms contained in any English Collateral Document and/or the European Guaranty Agreement and each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the European Agent in its capacity as security trustee of Secured Parties to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to the European Agent as security trustee of the Secured Parties by the terms of any English Collateral Document and/or the European Guaranty Agreement together with all such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(c)The Secured Parties agree that, at any time that the person acting as security trustee of the Secured Parties in respect of any English Collateral Document and/or the European Guaranty Agreement, as applicable, shall be a person other than the Agents, such other person shall have the rights, remedies, benefits and powers granted to the European Agent in its capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and (as the case may be) any English Collateral Document and/or the European Guaranty Agreement, as applicable.

(d)Nothing shall require the European Agent in the capacity as security trustee of the Secured Parties under this Agreement, any English Collateral Document or the European Guaranty Agreement to act as a trustee at common law or to be holding any property on trust, in any jurisdiction outside the United States of America, England or France which may not operate under the principles of trust or where such trust would not be recognized or its effects would not be enforceable.

(c)Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Loan Parties, Lenders and Agents and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Loan Parties, Agents and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d)In the event that an Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of "each Lender" or "each Lender directly affected thereby," the consent of the Applicable Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained, then Agent may, at its option, require such non-consenting Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to any Agent or to another Lender or to any other Person designated by Agent (the "Designated Lender"), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Loan Parties. In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to any Agent or to the Designated Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such Lender's denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to such Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, such Agent or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent; providedhowever, that the consent of Loan Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee; providedfurther, that Loan Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless they shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received prior notice thereof.

(e)Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.3 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, (A) Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding US-Canada Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the US-Canada Formula Amount at such time by up to ten percent (10%) of the US-Canada Formula Amount for up to sixty (60) consecutive

192

Business Days and (B) European Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding (x) English Revolving Advances or French Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the English Formula Amount and/or the French Formula Amount, in each case by up to ten percent (10%) of the English Formula Amount or the French Formula Amount (as applicable) for up to sixty (60) consecutive Business Days (collectively, the "Out-of-Formula Loans"); provided that in no event shall the Revolving Advances (when combined with the outstanding Swing Loans and Letters of Credit) exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts of all Lenders. If Applicable Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Facility shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages under such Facility, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate consisting of Domestic Rate Loans in the case of the US-Canada Facility or LIBOR Rate Loans in the case of the English Facility and the French Facility with an Interest Period of one (1) Month; provided that, if Applicable Agent does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither such Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Sections 2.1(a), 2.1(b) or 2.1(c) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its applicable Revolving Commitment Amount under such Facility. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the US-Canada Formula Amount, English Formula Amount or French Formula Amount, as applicable, was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be "Eligible Receivables", "Eligible Inventory" or "Eligible Fixed Assets", as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event (y) Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding US-Canada Revolving Advances to exceed the US-Canada Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%), or (z) European Agent involuntarily permits (A) the outstanding European Revolving Advances to exceed the European Formula Amount, (B) the outstanding English Revolving Advances to exceed the English Formula Amount or (C) the outstanding French Revolving Advances to exceed the French Formula Amount, in each case by more than ten percent (10%), in any case, Applicable Agent shall use its efforts to have the applicable Borrowers under the applicable Facility decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances under any Facility made after Applicable Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders under any applicable Facility as provided for in this Section 16.2(e), Applicable Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Applicable Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances under the relevant Facility made by and owing to Applicable Agent, and Applicable Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under such Facility under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

193

(f)In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Applicable Agent is hereby authorized by applicable Loan Parties and applicable Lenders under the applicable Facility, at any time in Applicable Agent's sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.3 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances under such Facility to applicable Loan Parties on behalf of such Lenders which Applicable Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations, (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (d) during a European Dominion Period or at any time at which it considers that the Collateral of the French Borrowers may be at risk to pay all outstanding amounts payable to any or all of a French Borrower's RoT Suppliers (the "Protective Advances"); provided, that at any time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, (1) the outstanding US-Canada Revolving Advances do not exceed the lesser of (A) one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the US-Canada Formula Amount or (B) the US-Canada Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding US-Canada Letters of Credit and outstanding amount of US-Canada Swing Loans, (2) the outstanding European Revolving Advances calculated based on the then current Dollar Equivalent do not exceed the lesser of: (X) one hundred ten percent (110%) of the European Formula Amount or (Y) the Maximum European Revolving Advance Amount less the Dollar Equivalent of aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding European Letters of Credit and outstanding amount of European Swing Loans, (3)  the outstanding English Revolving Advances calculated based on the then current Dollar Equivalent do not exceed the lesser of: (X) one hundred ten percent (110%) of the English Formula Amount or (Y) the Maximum English Revolving Advance Amount less the Dollar Equivalent of aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding English Letters of Credit and outstanding amount of English Swing Loans or (4) the outstanding French Revolving Advances calculated based on the then current Dollar Equivalent do not exceed the lesser of: (X) one hundred ten percent (110%) of the French Formula Amount or (Y) the Maximum French Revolving Advance Amount less the Dollar Equivalent of aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding French Letters of Credit and outstanding amount of French Swing Loans. Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments under any Facility shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Applicable Agent therefor upon demand of Applicable Agent in accordance with their respective applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages under such Facility. To the extent any Protective Advances under any Facility are not actually funded by the other Lenders under such Facility as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Applicable Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances under such Facility made by and owing to Applicable Agent, and Applicable Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under such Facility under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

194

16.3Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders.

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, each Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Agent and each Lender.

(b)Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to Participants. Each Participant may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof provided that (i) Loan Parties shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Participant had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Loan Party's prior written consent, and (ii) in no event shall Loan Parties be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Participant. Each Loan Party hereby grants to any Participant a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Participant as security for the Participant's interest in the Advances.

(c)Any Lender, with the consent of Applicable Agent, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons (other than an Ineligible Purchaser) and one or more additional Persons (other than an Ineligible Purchaser) may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Applicable Agent and delivered to Applicable Agent for recording, provided, however, that each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to each of the Revolving Advances under this Agreement in which such Lender has an interest. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with an applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Loan Party hereby

195

consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing provided, however, that the consent of Loan Parties (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee; provided that Loan Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Applicable Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received prior notice thereof.

(d)Any Lender, with the consent of Applicable Agent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity, whether a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that (i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and (ii) is administered, serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a "Purchasing CLO" and together with each Participant and Purchasing Lender, each a "Transferee" and collectively the "Transferees"), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being assigned ("Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement"), executed by any intermediate purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the transferor Lender, and Applicable Agent as appropriate and delivered to Applicable Agent for recording. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing CLO thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Each Loan Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.

(e)Applicable Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement and Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (in each case, the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender under the applicable Facility and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Loan Party, Agents and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Applicable Agent shall

196

receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO.

(f)Each Loan Party authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee, subject to the provisions of Section 16.15, any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning such Loan Party which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of such Loan Party.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Transferee of the French Revolving Commitments, French Revolving Advances (including French Swing Loans or Protective Advances made to the French Borrower) must qualify as a French Qualifying Lender and any Transferee of the French Letters of Credits must qualify as a French Qualifying Letter of Credit Issuer.

16.4Application of Payments. Each Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations, subject to Section 11.5 hereof. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or any Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Loan Party's benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Agent or such Lender.

16.5Indemnity. Each Loan Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Agent, each Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an "Indemnified Party") for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, "Claims") which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any action or failure to act or action taken only after delay or the satisfaction of any conditions by any Indemnified Party in connection with and/or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery or administration of the Agreement and the Other Documents, the credit facilities established hereunder and thereunder

197

and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (iii) any Loan Party's or any Guarantor's failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of any Agent, any Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (v) any threatened or actual imposition of fines or penalties, or disgorgement of benefits, for violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law by any Loan Party, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrowers, or any Guarantor, and (vi) any claim, litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not any Agent or any Lender is a party thereto. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Indemnified Party from (x) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder and (y) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party under any Environmental Laws with respect to or in connection with the Real Property, any Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Real Property (whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate), including any Claims consisting of or relating to the imposition or assertion of any Lien on any of the Real Property under any Environmental Laws and any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of any Agent or any Lender. Loan Parties' obligations under this Section 16.5 shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, provincial or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Materials, in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including fees and disbursements of counsel) asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Loan Party's or any other Person's failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances. Additionally, if any taxes (excluding taxes imposed upon or measured solely by the net income of Agents and Lenders, but including any intangibles taxes, stamp tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be payable by Agents, Lenders or Loan Parties on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the Other Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, Loan Parties will pay (or will promptly reimburse Agents and Lenders for payment of) all such taxes, including interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Party under this Section 16.5 with respect to any liability that a

198

court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. This Section 16.5 shall not apply to the extent that the losses, claims or damages relate to any Taxes described in Section 3.10.

If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

16.9Expenses. Loan Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for such Agent), and shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of each Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Lender or any Issuer (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent, any Lender or any Issuer), and shall pay reasonable and documented all reasonable and documented fees and time charges for attorneys who may be

201

employees of any Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, including its rights under this Section 16.9, or (B) in connection with the Advances made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Advances or Letters of Credit, and (iv) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of each Agent's regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of the any Loan Party's or any Loan Party's Affiliate's or Subsidiary's books, records and business properties including, without limitation, for field examinations and the preparation of reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the European Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the European Agent with respect to each field examination, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.3.

16.10Injunctive Relief. Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders; therefore, Agents, if any Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

16.11Consequential Damages. Neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Borrower, or any Guarantor (or any Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other Document.

16.12Captions. The captions at various places in this Agreement are intended for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this Agreement.

16.13Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile or electronic transmission (including email transmission of a PDF image) shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

16.14Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits thereto.

16.15Confidentiality; Sharing Information. Each Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall hold all non-public information obtained by such Agent, such Lender or such Transferee pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with such Agent's, such Lender's and such Transferee's customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and such non-public information shall not be disclosed by such Agent, such Lender

202

or such Transferee to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement; provided, however, each Agent, each Lender and each Transferee may disclose such confidential information (a) to its employees, officers, directors, examiners, Affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional advisors, (b) to any Agent, any Lender or to any prospective Transferees (so long as the Persons to whom such disclosure is made are informed of the confidential nature of such information and have agreed to keep such information confidential), and (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, further that (i) unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, each Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall use its reasonable best efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify the applicable Loan Party of the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of a Lender or a Transferee by such Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii) in no event shall any Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials furnished by any Loan Party other than those documents and instruments in possession of any Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral once the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated; provided that any disclosure under sub-clauses (A) or (B) of this sentence shall be limited to the information required by such Governmental Body or such legal process. Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Loan Party or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each Loan Party hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any non-disclosure agreement or similar document executed by any Agent in favor of any Loan Party or any of any Loan Party's affiliates, the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede such agreements.

16.16Publicity. Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby authorizes Agents to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered into among Loan Parties, Agents and Lenders, including announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such publications and to such selected parties as Agents shall deem appropriate in consultation with, and subject to the approval of, the Borrowing Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

16.17Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act.

(a)Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that

203

maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

(b)The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an "account" with such financial institution. Consequently, any Lender may from time to time request, and each Loan Party shall provide to such Lender, such Loan Party's name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identifying information as shall be necessary for Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and any other Anti-Terrorism Law.

16.18Anti-Terrorism Laws.

(a)Each Borrower and each Guarantor represents and warrants that (i) no Covered Entity is a Sanctioned Person and (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through any third party, (A) has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (B) does business in or with, or derives any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; or (C) engages in any dealings or transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law.

(b)Each Borrower and each Guarantor covenants and agrees that (i) no Covered Entity will become a Sanctioned Person, (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through any third party, will (A) have any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (B) do business in or with, or derive any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (C) engage in any dealings or transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law or (D) use the Advances to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or, make any payments to, a Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law, (iii) the funds used to repay the Obligations will not be derived from any unlawful activity, (iv) each Covered Entity shall comply with all Anti-Terrorism Laws and (v) Loan Parties shall promptly notify Agent in writing upon the occurrence of a Reportable Compliance Event.

(c)Each Loan Party has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by such Loan Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Terrorism Laws.

In addition to the foregoing, the Loan Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and "know your client" Laws within Canada, the Lenders and the Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties, their respective directors, authorized signing officers,

204

direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Loan Parties shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or any Agent, in order to comply therewith, whether now or hereafter in existence.

16.19Canadian Borrowers and Canadian Guarantors.

(a)Liability of Canadian Loan Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the Other Documents to the contrary, the parties intend that this Agreement and the Other Documents do hereby provide, and shall in all circumstances be interpreted to provide, that the Canadian Loan Parties are jointly and severally liable for, and the Canadian Collateral shall secure, all Advances, interest on such Advances, and all other Obligations, including, without limitation, general fees, reimbursements, indemnities and charges hereunder and under any Other Document. Nothing in this Section 16.19 is intended to limit, nor shall it be deemed to limit, any liability of the Company or any other US Loan Party for any of the Obligations, whether in its primary capacity as a Borrower, as a Guarantor, at law or otherwise. All Obligations of the Borrowers, both the Canadian Borrowers and the US Borrowers, and Guarantors, both the US Guarantors and the Canadian Guarantors, are joint and several.

(b)Company as Agent. The Canadian Borrowers, in addition to the appointment of the Company as the Borrowing Agent as provided herein, further hereby irrevocably appoint the Company as its agent to receive the proceeds of any Advances made to any Canadian Borrower hereunder. Agent shall be entitled to rely in such matters on all communications delivered by the Company as being delivered on behalf of the Canadian Borrowers.

16.20European Borrowers and European Guarantors.

(a)Generally. Without limiting the joint and several nature of all US Borrowers' and Canadian Borrowers' Obligations, the Obligations of the European Borrowers shall be several in nature, and the Obligations of the European Guarantors shall be limited if and to the extent expressly set forth in the European Guaranty Agreement.

(b)Liability of European Borrowers. The parties intend that this Agreement shall in all circumstances be interpreted to provide that each European Borrower is liable only for Advances made to such European Borrower, interest on such Advances, such European Borrower's reimbursement obligations with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for its account and its ratable share of any of the other Obligations, including, without limitation, general fees, reimbursements, indemnities and charges hereunder and under any Other Document that are attributable, or attributed as a ratable share, to it. The liability of each European Borrower for the payment of any of the Obligations or the performance of its covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be several from but not joint with the Obligations of the US Loan Parties and the Canadian Loan Parties. Nothing in this Section 16.20 is intended to limit, nor shall it be deemed to limit, any of the liability of any US Loan Party or any Canadian Loan Party for any of the Obligations, whether in its primary capacity as a Borrower, as a Guarantor, at law or otherwise.

205

(c)Additional European Guarantors. European Agent may at any time request that Invacare Holdings Two S.a.r.l and/or Invacare Holdings Two B.V. become a European Guarantor by providing a Guaranty in favour of the European Agent as security trustee for the Secured Parties in form satisfactory to the European Agent;

(d)Notice to French Guarantors. The European Agent shall use reasonable endeavors to notify in writing to the European Borrowing Agent, prior to 31 March of each year, the amount of outstanding guaranteed obligations as at 31 December of the preceding year, and the date of the expiry of such obligations, of the French Guarantors under the English Law Guaranty. For the avoidance of doubt, the English Law Guarantee shall not be considered as a “cautionnement” under French law.

16.21Joinder of Guarantors and Borrowers. Any Subsidiary of the Company which is required to join this Agreement as a Guarantor, or any Subsidiary of the Company which elects to join this Agreement as a Borrower, pursuant in each case to Section 7.12 shall execute and deliver to Agent (i) a Guarantor Joinder or Borrower Joinder, as applicable, pursuant to which it shall, after acceptance of such Guarantor Joinder or Borrower Joinder by Agent, join this Agreement as a US Loan Party, Canadian Loan Party, English Loan Party or French Loan Party, as applicable, and join each of the Other Documents to which the US Loan Parties or Canadian Loan Parties, as applicable, are parties, (ii) documents in the forms described in Section 8.1 (or foreign jurisdictional equivalents, if any), modified as appropriate to relate to such Subsidiary, and (iii) documents necessary to grant and perfect Liens in favor of Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Equity Interest of, and Collateral held by, such Subsidiary. Joinder of each new Loan Party pursuant to this Section shall be subject to compliance with all the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents, including without limitation Section 6.1 and Section 3.10.

16.22Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement. All references to the "Credit Agreement", the "Agreement" or derivations thereof contained in the Other Documents delivered in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement or this Agreement shall, and shall be deemed to, refer to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement by this Agreement, the Obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Other Documents as of the Closing Date shall remain outstanding and shall constitute continuing Obligations hereunder without novation and shall continue as such to be secured by the Collateral. Such Obligations shall in all respects be continuing and this Agreement shall not be deemed to evidence or result in a novation or repayment and reborrowing of such Obligations. The Liens securing payment of the Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated in the form of this Agreement, shall in all respects be continuing, securing the payment of all Obligations.

16.23CAM Exchange.On the CAM Exchange Date,

(i)the European Revolving Commitments shall have terminated in accordance with Article 11;

206

(ii)each European Lender shall fund its participation in any outstanding European Swing Loans and Protective Advances under the English Facility and/or the French Facility, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(iii)each European Lender shall fund its participation in any unreimbursed disbursements made under the European Letters of Credit, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

(iv)each European Lender shall purchase in Dollars at par participation interests in the Designated Obligations under the English Facility and the French Facility from the other European Lenders (and shall make payments in Dollars to the European Agent for reallocation to other European Lenders to the extent necessary to give effect to such sub participations) and shall assume the obligation to reimburse each Issuer for unreimbursed disbursements under outstanding European Letters of Credit under each Facility to the extent necessary such that the interests of each European Lender in the Designated Obligations immediately following the CAM Exchange Date (including all sub participation interests obtained as described above) shall equal the CAM Percentage of such European Lender in each component of the Designated Obligations.

(b)Each European Lender and each Person acquiring a sub participation interest from any European Lender as contemplated by this Section 16.23 hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange.

(c)As a result of the CAM Exchange, from and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by European Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Document in respect of any of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the relevant European Lenders, for distribution pro rata in accordance with the CAM Percentage.

(d)In the event that on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of a disbursement under a European Letter of Credit by an Issuer that is not reimbursed by the applicable European Borrowers, then each European Lender shall promptly reimburse such Issuer for its CAM Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent of such unreimbursed payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 16.23, each Secured Party agrees that if any Secured Party is required under applicable law to withhold or deduct any taxes or other amounts from payments made by it hereunder or as a result hereof, such Person shall be entitled to withhold or deduct such amounts and pay over such taxes or other amounts to the applicable Governmental Body imposing such tax without any obligation to indemnify any Secured Party with respect to such amounts and without any other obligation of gross up or offset with respect thereto and there shall be no recourse whatsoever by any Secured Party subject to such withholding to any other Secured Party making such withholding and paying over such amounts, but without diminution of the rights of such Secured Party subject to such withholding as against Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to the extent (if any) provided in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Any amounts so withheld or deducted shall be treated as, for the purpose of

207

this Section 16.23, having been paid to such Secured Party to which such withholding or deduction was made.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 16.23 or otherwise provided for in the Agreement, in no event shall any European Lender that is not a French Qualifying Lender be required to take any action in connection with the CAM Exchange if (x) such action would require such European Lender to hold Designated Obligations (or interests or sub participations therein) to the extent that such interests are only permitted to be held by a French Qualifying Lender, (y) such European Lender would lose any benefits or rights it may have as a European Lender under this Agreement, or (z) such action would otherwise violate Applicable Law (including French law) in any respect.
