ARTICLE 2

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01. Commitments to Lend.

(a) Committed Loans. On the Closing Date, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) in an amount that shall not exceed its Commitments then in effect. Loans borrowed under this Section 2.01 and paid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Minimum Borrowing. The Borrowing under this Section 2.01 shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 and shall be made from the several Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments.

Section 2.02. Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of Borrowing”) at its Minneapolis Office not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on (y) the Closing Date for any Base Rate Borrowing and (z) the third Euro-Currency Business Day before the Closing Date for any Euro-Currency Borrowing specifying:

(i) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Euro-Currency Business Day in the case of a Euro-Currency Borrowing;

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(iii) whether such Loans are to be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Currency Loans; and

(iv) in the case of a Euro-Currency Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

Section 2.03. Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.

(a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(b) On the date of the Borrowing, each Lender participating therein shall make available its ratable share of such Borrowing not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its Minneapolis Office. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been satisfied or waived in accordance with Section 11.05, the Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower on the date of each Borrowing as directed by the Borrower.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received at its Minneapolis Office notice from a Lender prior to the date (or in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative

Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender (and, if such Lender shall not have paid such amount to the Administrative Agent within two Domestic Business Days of the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Borrower) agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation to make a Loan on such date.

(e) Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.04. Notes.

(a) Each Lender may, on and from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request (i) that its Loans to the Borrower be evidenced by a single Note of the Borrower payable to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower or (ii) that its Loans of a particular Type to the Borrower be evidenced by a separate Note of the Borrower in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant Type. Each reference in this Agreement to the “Notes” of such Lender shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

(b) Each Lender shall record the date, amount, Type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Notes and to attach to and make a part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

Section 2.05. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan of each Lender shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon), on the Termination Date of such Lender.

Section 2.06. Interest Rates.

(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate Margin and the Base Rate for each such day. Such interest shall be payable at maturity, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date prior to maturity and, with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a Euro-Currency Loan, on the date such amount is so converted. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for each such day.

(b) Each Euro-Currency Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Currency Margin for such day plus the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof.

The “Eurodollar Rate” applicable to any Euro-Currency Loan for any Interest Period means (i) the rate per annum that is the offered rate which appears on the page of the Reuters Screen which displays the London interbank offered rate administered by ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (such page currently being the LIBOR01 page) (the “LIBO Rate”) for deposits (for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period in Dollars, determined as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London, England time), two Euro-Currency Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, or (ii) in the event the rate referenced in the preceding clause (i) does not appear on such page or service or if such page or service shall cease to be available, the rate determined by the Administrative Agent (in a manner consistent with such determination generally under other credit facilities under

which it acts as administrative agent) to be the offered rate on such other page or other service which displays the LIBO Rate for deposits (for delivery on the first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest Period in Dollars, determined as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two Euro-Currency Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period; provided that if LIBO Rates are quoted under either of the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), but there is no such quotation for the Interest Period elected, the LIBO Rate shall be equal to the Interpolated Rate; and provided, further, that if any such rate determined pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) is below zero, the Eurodollar Rate will be deemed to be zero.

The “Interpolated Rate” means, in relation to the LIBO Rate, the rate which results from interpolating on a linear basis between:

(a)

the applicable LIBO Rate for the longest period (for which that LIBO Rate is available) which is less than the Interest Period of that Euro-Currency Loan; and

(b)

the applicable LIBO Rate for the shortest period (for which that LIBO Rate is available) which exceeds the Interest Period of that Euro-Currency Loan,

each as of approximately 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two Euro-Currency Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period of that Euro-Currency Loan.

(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Currency Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the higher of (i) the sum of the Euro-Currency Margin for such day plus the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan on the day before such payment was due and (ii) the Euro-Currency Margin for such day plus the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (x) the average (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Currency Business Days, then for such other period of time not longer than six months as the Administrative Agent may select) deposits in Dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue payment are offered by the Administrative Agent in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided above by (y) 1.00 minus the Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(New York City time) on any Domestic Business Day for prepayment on that date of any Group of Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans or the third Euro-Currency Business Day before the date of prepayment of any Group of Loans consisting of Euro-Currency Loans, prepay any such Group of Loans, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in principal amounts aggregating not less than $10,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to but not including the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Lenders included in such Group of Loans.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of such prepayment and once notice is so given to the Lenders, the Borrower’s notice of prepayment shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower (except as provided in Section 2.10(a)).

Section 2.11. General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make payments of principal of, and interest on, the Loans made to it and of fees owing by it hereunder, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction, to the Administrative Agent at its Minneapolis Office. The

Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Currency Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Currency Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Currency Business Day unless such Euro-Currency Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Currency Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(c) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.11(b), or 7.06 and has not cured the payment within two Domestic Business Days, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. Such cash collateral shall be returned to the Lender (x) if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, once it ceases to be a Defaulting Lender or (y) upon termination of this Agreement; provided that, in each of clause (x) and (y), the Lender has made all payments required to be made hereunder.

Section 2.12. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan or any Euro-Currency Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.06(c), or if the Borrower fails to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Euro-Currency Loans after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(a), 2.10(b) or 2.15 (and in the case of a notice given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.10(b), regardless of whether such notice is conditional and such condition fails to occur), the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense reasonably incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan) in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue; provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate specifying in reasonable detail the calculation of, and the reasons for, the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error.

Section 2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.14. Regulation D Compensation. Each Lender may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Euro-Currency Loans, additional interest on the related Euro-Currency Loan of such Lender at a rate per annum determined by such Lender up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable Eurodollar Rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable Eurodollar Rate. Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Currency Loans of such Lender shall be payable to such Lender at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Euro-Currency Business Days after the giving of such notice, and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five Euro-Currency Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Currency Loans of the amount then due it under this Section.

Section 2.15. Method of Electing Interest Rates.

(a) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall initially be of the Type specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the Type of each such Group of Loans (subject to subsection 2.15(d) of this Section and the provisions of Article 8), as follows:

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Euro-Currency Loans as of any Euro-Currency Business Day; and

(ii) if such Loans are Euro-Currency Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Euro-Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 2.12 if any such conversion is effective on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to, or continue any Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Euro-Currency Loans if (i) the aggregate principal amount of any Group of Loans consisting of Euro-Currency Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be less than $10,000,000 or (ii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.

(j) any member of the ERISA Group shall fail to pay when due an amount which it shall have become liable to pay under Title IV of ERISA; or notice of intent to terminate a Plan shall be filed under Title IV of ERISA by any member of the ERISA Group, any plan administrator or any combination of the foregoing; or the PBGC shall institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate, to impose liability (other than for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA) in respect of, or to cause a trustee to be appointed to administer any Plan; or a condition shall exist by reason of which the PBGC would be entitled to obtain a decree adjudicating that any Plan must be terminated; or there shall occur a complete or partial withdrawal from, or a default, within the meaning of Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA, with respect to, one or more Multiemployer Plans, and in each of the foregoing cases, such event or condition could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(l) (i) any person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) shall have acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act) of 40% or more of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Borrower; or (ii) during any period of 18 consecutive calendar months (commencing with the Closing Date for the first such period until 18 calendar months has elapsed since the Closing Date), individuals who were directors of the Borrower on the first day of such period (together with any new directors whose election by the Borrower’s board of directors or whose nomination for election by the Borrower’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination was previously so approved) shall cease to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the Borrower; provided that (I) notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to constitute an Event of Default under clause (i) above if (A) the Borrower becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Holding Company pursuant to a Holding Company Reorganization and (B)(1) the direct or indirect holders of the voting interests of the outstanding shares of common stock (or the equivalent) of such Holding Company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the voting interests of the Borrower’s outstanding ordinary shares immediately prior to that transaction or (2) immediately following that transaction no person or group of persons (defined as provided in clause (i) above) (other than a Holding Company satisfying the requirements of this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 40% of the voting interests of the outstanding shares of common stock (or the equivalent) of such Holding Company and (II) if a Holding Company Reorganization shall have occurred, clause (ii) above shall apply as if the Borrower prior thereto and the Borrower subsequent thereto were the same Person;

which are hereby waived by the Borrower; provided that in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in clause 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) above with respect to the Borrower, without any notice to the Borrower or any other act by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the Commitments shall thereupon terminate and the Loans (together with accrued interest thereon) shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

ARTICLE 7

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 7.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 7.02. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. U.S. Bank National Association shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and U.S. Bank National Association and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.03. Action by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

Section 7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.

Section 7.05. Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3 except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

Section 7.06. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its undrawn Commitment and Loans, indemnify the Administrative Agent, its affiliates and its directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder or thereunder.

Section 7.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.08. Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists under clauses (a), (h) or (i) of Section 6.01, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial

bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective on the date specified by the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE 8

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Currency Loan:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for determining the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) Lenders having more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the undrawn Commitments and Loans advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Euro-Currency Loans for such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent shall do promptly after becoming aware thereof), (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Euro-Currency Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Currency Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Currency Loan shall be prepaid (or converted into a Base Rate Loan) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Domestic Business Day before the date of any Euro-Currency Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 8.02. Illegality. If a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Currency Loans to the Borrower and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which notice such Lender shall give promptly after such circumstances cease to exist), the obligation of such Lender to make Euro-Currency Loans to the Borrower shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Lender shall designate a different Euro-Currency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. If such notice is given, each affected Euro-Currency Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Currency Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Currency Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Currency Loan to such day.

Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If a Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan any such requirement with respect to which such Lender is entitled to compensation during the relevant Interest Period under Section 2.14), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Currency Loans (other than with respect to taxes), its Note(s) or its obligation to make Euro-Currency Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Currency Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note(s) with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that a Change in Law (other than with respect to taxes) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital or liquidity of such Lender (or its Lender Parent) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Lender Parent) could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Lender Parent) for such reduction.

(c) If after the date of this Agreement, a Change in Law shall subject any Lender to any taxes (other than (i) Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Notes and (ii) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(d) Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, and/or any Change in Law which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and the calculation of such amount or amounts in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Borrower contemporaneously with any demand for payment hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, as the case may be; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 8.03 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor and of the amount of such compensation; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(f) No Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 unless such Lender certifies in writing to the Borrower that it is making corresponding demands on similarly situated borrowers in comparable credit facilities to which such Lender is a party.

(g) This Section 8.03 (i) shall not entitle any Lender to compensation in respect of any Excluded Taxes, (ii) shall not apply to (A) Taxes for which the Borrower is required to provide indemnification under Section 8.04 or (B) Other Taxes, it being understood that Taxes and Other Taxes shall be governed by Section 8.04, and (iii) shall not relieve any Lender of any obligation pursuant to Section 8.04.

Section 8.04. Taxes.

(a) Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise, branch profits or similar taxes, in each case, (x) imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof or (y) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise, branch profits or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA and (iv) any withholding tax on payments of interest made or similar income made or ascribed by a paying agent established in Luxembourg to or for the immediate benefit of a Luxembourg resident individual in accordance with the Luxembourg laws of December 23, 2005 (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as its “Taxes”, and all such excluded taxes being hereinafter referred to as its “Excluded Taxes”). If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (the “Withholding Agent”) shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Withholding Agent shall make such

deductions, (iii) such Withholding Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) if the Withholding Agent is the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(b) A payment shall not be increased under Section 8.04(a) above by reason of a deduction or withholding of any Tax imposed by Ireland from any such payment, where on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender or Participant, as the case may be, without any such deduction or withholding if the Lender or Participant, as the case may be, had been a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender or Participant, as the case may be, is not or has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender or Participant, as the case may be, under this Agreement in (or in the interpretations, administration or application of) any law or published practice of published concession of any relevant taxing authority.

(c) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note, except any Luxembourg registration duties (droits d’enregistrement) and/or stamp duties (droits de timbre) payable in the case of voluntary registration, submission or filing of any document with respect to this Agreement or any Note with the Administration de l’Enregistrement des Domaines in Luxembourg, which shall mean that such registration, submission or filing is (i) not mandatory or (ii) not required to maintain, defend or preserve the rights of a party under any document with respect to this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.04) paid or payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided, the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any party hereunder pursuant to this Section for penalties, interest or similar liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto to the extent such penalties, interest or similar liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct by such party. In addition, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all Excluded Taxes and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each

case to the extent that such Excluded Taxes result from any payment or indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.04(d) for Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States, Ireland or Luxembourg. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(e) An indemnity payment shall not be payable under Section 8.04(d) above with respect to any Tax imposed by Ireland and assessed on a Lender or Participant, as the case may be, to the extent that Tax:

(i) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 8.04(a); or

(ii) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 8.04(a) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 8.04(b) applied.

(f) Any Lender or Participant, as the case may be, that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation, or information, reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding, or evidence entitlement to exemption from or reduction of withholding tax. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or information reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the following clauses of this Section 8.04) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, at the times indicated herein, each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with executed originals of Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (accompanied by a form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-9 and other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable) or W-8ECI (in each case accompanied

by any statements which may be required under applicable Treasury regulations), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Such forms shall certify that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement (i) without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or (ii) subject to a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax, unless, in each case of clause (i) and (ii) of this Section 8.04(g), an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders such forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of such taxes. Such forms shall be provided (x) on or prior to the date of the Lender’s execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof, and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and (y) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by the Lender. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States or Irish interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, United States or Irish withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a), unless the assignor of such Lender was entitled, at the time of such assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding taxes pursuant to Section 8.04(a). In addition, to the extent that for reasons other than a change of treaty, law or regulation any Lender becomes subject to an increased rate of United States or Irish interest withholding tax while it is a party to this Agreement, United States or Irish withholding tax at such increased rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a).

(h) Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.

(i) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably

requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this Section 8.04(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement, whether or not included in the definition of FATCA.

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

(k) Each Lender, on or prior to the date it becomes a party hereto, shall inform the Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether it is a Qualifying Lender by completing and providing to the Administrative Agent and Borrower a Qualifying Lender Confirmation. Each Lender party hereto as of the Closing Date hereby confirms to the Borrower that such Lender is a Qualifying Lender, and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that no such Lender shall be required to complete or provide such Qualifying Lender Confirmation. Each Lender shall upon reasonable written request from the Borrower or Administrative Agent provide an updated Qualifying Lender Confirmation.

(l) If the Lender fails to provide a Qualifying Lender Confirmation in accordance with Section 8.04(k) above, then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by the Borrower) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Borrower which category applies. Each Lender, upon reasonable written request from the Borrower from time to time shall, if applicable, provide such information as may be required to enable the Borrower to comply with Sections 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G TCA (and any regulations made thereunder).

(m) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form or information in accordance with this Section 8.04 (unless such failure is excused by the terms of this Section 8.04), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8.04 with respect to Taxes imposed as a result of such Lender’s failure to provide such form or information; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or information required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(n) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes and Excluded Taxes (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation, if any, of the Borrower to do so), in each case attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date the Administrative Agent makes demand therefor.

(o) Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.04 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

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

Section 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Currency Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or to, Euro-Currency Loans to the Borrower has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its Euro-Currency Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Currency Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted to) Euro-Currency Loans to the Borrower shall instead be Base Rate Loans on which

interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Currency Loans of the other Lenders. If such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Currency Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Currency Loans of the other Lenders.

Section 8.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation (or provides notice of an intent to request compensation) under Section 8.03, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.04, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender or its Participant requests compensation (or provides notice of an intent to request compensation) under Section 8.03, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or its Participant or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or its Participant pursuant to Section 8.04, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or invokes Section 8.02, or if any Lender shall refuse to consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification that would otherwise require such Lender’s consent but to which the Required Lenders have consented, or if the credit (or similar) rating of any Lender (or a Lender Parent thereof) by one or more of S&P, Moody’s, Fitch or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization shall at any time be lower than BBB/Baa2/BBB (or the equivalent), or if, as to any Lender, such Lender and Lender Parent thereof shall at any time have no credit (or similar) rating in effect by at least one such organization, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest

thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints JCI as its authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on its behalf, service of any and all process which may be served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and hereby consents to process being served upon JCI in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all claim of error by reason of any such service and agrees that such service shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid and personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Nothing in this provision shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or jurisdictions. Such designation and appointment shall be irrevocable until all obligations under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions hereof. If such agent shall cease so to act, the Borrower covenants and agrees to designate irrevocably and appoint without delay another such agent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent evidence in writing of such other agent’s acceptance of such appointment.

Section 11.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 11.03. Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall reimburse (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger (including due diligence expenses, syndication expenses, travel expenses and reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger (and if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction)) incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and any related documentation or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver hereof or thereof and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, including the fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel (and if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each of their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including Environmental Liabilities) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents, the use of the proceeds of Loans hereunder or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto and regardless of whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any of its affiliates (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), and to reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable and documented legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing; provided that (i) the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of its Related Persons, (B) to the extent resulting from any Proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any of their respective

affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person solely against another Indemnified Person, other than claims against any Lender or the Lead Arranger or the Administrative Agent in its capacity in fulfilling its role as an agent or arranger under the Loan Documents, in each case as found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) to the extent resulting from a material breach by such Indemnified Person or any Related Person thereof of its obligations under the Loan Documents as found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or any Related Person thereof to the extent found by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), it being understood that the use of electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems will not itself constitute bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Loan Documents. For purposes hereof, a “Related Person” of an Indemnified Person means (a) any controlling person, controlled affiliate or subsidiary of such Indemnified Person, (b) the respective directors, officers or employees of such Indemnified Person or any of its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates or controlling persons and (c) the respective agents and advisors of such Indemnified Person or any of its subsidiaries, controlled affiliates or controlling persons; provided, that each reference to a controlled affiliate, controlling person, director, officer or employee in this sentence pertains to a controlled affiliate, controlling person, director, officer or employee involved in the negotiation of the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, Lead Arranger or any Indemnified Person for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Loan Documents; provided that this sentence shall not limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations as set forth in this paragraph.

Section 11.04. Sharing of Set-offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Loans held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Loans held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section 11.04 shall impair the right of any Lender or its affiliates

to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness hereunder. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in the Loans, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 11.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by it); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall:

(a) unless signed by each directly affected Lender, (i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any interest thereon or any fees hereunder (other than any amendment or waiver with respect to the application of any default rate of interest), (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or for termination of any Commitment, (iv) [reserved] or (v) modify the right of a Lender to receive a pro rata share of payments as provided herein; or

(b) unless signed by all the Lenders, change the definition of “Required Lenders” or the provisions of this Section 11.05.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of any Lender) to the extent necessary to cure any ambiguity, omission, error, defect or inconsistency.

Section 11.06. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

(b) Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more Persons (other than a natural Person or a Disqualified Institution) (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment and/or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder,

and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision hereof; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (a) of Section 11.05 without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement and subject to Section 11.06(e) below, be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 and Article 8 (other than Section 8.01 and Section 8.02) with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection 11.06(c), 11.06(d) or 11.06(f) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection 11.06(b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to maintain any Participation Register in its capacity as administrative agent hereunder. Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 11 shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of the principal amounts of each such Participant’s participation interest with respect to such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and shall obtain a Qualifying Lender Confirmation, completed and signed by or on behalf of the Participant, and shall procure an undertaking from the Participant that it will comply with the provisions of subclauses (k) and (l) of Section 8.04 as if it were a Lender.

(c) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other institutions other than a Disqualified Institution (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part (equivalent to an initial Commitment of not less than $10,000,000) of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the

Notes, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Lender, with (and subject to) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists under clauses (a), (h) or (i) of Section 6.01, the Borrower, such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (i) if an Assignee is a Lender Affiliate of such transferor Lender or was a Lender immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent of the Borrower shall be required and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Domestic Business Days after having received notice thereof. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment and/or Loan as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrative error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank (or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender). No such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.06, but subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this subsection (f), any Lender may from time to time, elect to designate a Conduit to provide all or any part of any Loan required to be made by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement or to acquire a participation interest in any Loans extended by such Lender hereunder (a “Conduit Designation”), provided the designation of a Conduit by any Lender for purposes of this Section 11.06(f) shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. No additional Note shall be required with regard to a Conduit Designation; provided, however, to the extent any Conduit shall advance funds under a Conduit Designation, the designating Lender shall be deemed to hold the Note in its possession as an administrative agent for such Conduit to the extent of the Loan funded by such Conduit. Notwithstanding any such Conduit Designation, (x) the designating Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for its obligations under this Agreement and (y) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the designating Lender as Administrative Agent for such designating Lender’s Conduit, in connection with all of such Conduit’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, unless and until the Borrower and the Administrative Agent are notified that the designating Lender has been replaced as Administrative Agent for its Conduit; any payments for the benefit of any designating Lender and its Conduit shall be paid to such designating Lender for itself as Administrative Agent for its Conduit, as applicable; provided neither the Administrative Agent nor the Borrower shall be responsible for any designating Lender’s application of any such payments. In addition, any Conduit may (i) with notice to, but without the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or portions of its interest in any Loans to the Lender that designated such Conduit or to any financial institutions consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such Conduit to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any guarantee, surety, credit or liquidity enhancement to such Conduit.

(g) Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that, at any time a Conduit Designation is in effect, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, any Conduit any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit is paid. This Section 11.06(g) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.07. Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 11.08. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The Borrower and each Lender hereby submits, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions. The Borrower and each Lender irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 11.09. Counterparts; Integration; Severability. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS.

Section 11.11. Confidentiality.

(a) The Lenders agree not to disclose, directly or indirectly, any information obtained from or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its respective Subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with this Agreement and will keep such information confidential; provided that (i) each Lender may use, retain and

disclose any such information to its affiliates, and its and its affiliates’ directors, officers, agents, employees, insurance brokers, counsel, public accountants, direct or indirect providers of credit protection, any Assignees, Participants, potential Assignees and Participants (each, a “Permitted Party”) and any governmental agency or instrumentality or other supervisory body requesting such disclosure, provided that any Permitted Party shall have agreed to keep such information confidential in accordance with this Section 11.11, (ii) each Lender may use, retain and disclose any such information which has been publicly disclosed (other than by such Lender or any Lender Affiliate thereof in breach of this Section 11.11), and (iii) to the extent that such Lender may have received a subpoena or other legal demand for such information, such Lender may disclose such information; provided that such Lender shall notify the Borrower of such demand (to the extent permitted by law and as promptly as practicable) and shall cooperate with the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, to take actions necessary to obtain a protective order limiting the scope of the demand and the use and disclosure of such information. In the event a Lender has not entered into a confidentiality agreement with a Permitted Party containing provisions substantially similar to those in this Section 11.11(a) with the Borrower as an express intended beneficiary, such Lender shall remain responsible for compliance by such Permitted Parties with the provisions of this Section 11.11(a).

(b) The parties hereby agree that, from the commencement of discussions with respect to the Transactions, each party (and each employee, representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are used in Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

Section 11.12. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent (including any such request on behalf of any Lender), provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent (or such Lender) reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

Section 11.13. [reserved]

Section 11.14. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

Section 11.15. Acknowledgments. The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lead Arranger and the Lenders, on the other hand, will be solely that of obligor and lender, and no fiduciary duty on the part of any of the Lead Arranger or the Lenders will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any communications in connection therewith. The Lead Arranger, the Lenders and their respective Lender Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its affiliates, and none of the Lead Arranger, the Lenders and their respective Lender Affiliates have any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Lead Arranger and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, acknowledges that the transactions and the facilities contemplated by this Agreement (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions and that the Lead Arranger and each of the Lenders is acting as principal and, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, any of their respective affiliates or any other person or entity.

Section 11.16. Certain ERISA Matters.
