Section titles appear as a matter of convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any Loan Document. All references to (a) laws or statutes include all

137

related rules, regulations, interpretations, amendments and successor provisions; (b) any reference to any Loan Document shall be deemed to include any amendments, restatements, waivers and other modifications, extensions or supplements to, or renewals of, such Loan Document; (c) section means, unless the context otherwise requires, a section of this Agreement; (d) any exhibits or schedules mean, unless the context otherwise requires, exhibits and schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference; (e) any Person include successors, permitted transferees and permitted assigns of such Person; (f) time of day means time of day in Dallas, Texas (Central Time) unless otherwise specified herein; (g) discretion of the Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Lender means the sole and absolute discretion of such Person exercised in a manner consistent with its duties of good faith and fair dealing; or (h) “property” or “asset” includes any real or personal, present or future, tangible or intangible property or asset and any right, interest, revenue or benefit in, under or derived from the property or asset.

Loan Parties shall have the burden of establishing any alleged negligence, misconduct or lack of good faith by Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Lender under any Loan Documents. No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed against any party by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. Whenever any payment, certificate, notice or other delivery shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment or delivery shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Interest Period Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

1.5 Currency Calculations. All references in the Loan Documents to Loans, Letters of Credit, Obligations and other amounts shall be denominated in Dollars, unless expressly provided otherwise. The Dollar Equivalent of any amounts denominated or reported under a Loan Document in a currency other than Dollars shall be determined by Agent on a daily basis based on the current Exchange Rate. Each Borrower shall report Cost and other Borrowing Base components to Agent in the currency shown in such Borrower’s financial records, and unless expressly provided otherwise, MRC Global shall deliver consolidated financial statements and calculate financial covenants in Dollars. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Obligation is funded and expressly denominated in a currency other than Dollars, Borrowers shall repay such Obligation in such other currency. For purposes of determining compliance under Section 10.2.4 with respect to any amount in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be deemed to equal the Dollar Equivalent thereof based on the average Exchange Rate for a Foreign Currency for the most recent twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of determination determined in a manner consistent with that used in calculating Consolidated EBITDA for the related period. For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 10.2.1, 10.2.2 and 10.2.5, with respect to any amount in a Foreign Currency, compliance will be determined at the time of incurrence or advancing thereof using the Dollar Equivalent thereof at the Exchange Rate in effect at the time of such incurrence or advancement.

1.7 Limited Conditionality Acquisitions. In connection with any action required to be taken in connection with a Limited Conditionality Acquisition, for purposes of:

(a) calculating the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio and other financial calculations (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Excess Availability); or

(b) testing capacity under covenant baskets set forth in this Agreement (including covenant baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets but excluding any test based on Excess Availability which shall be measured on the closing date of such Limited Condition Acquisition),

in each case, at the option of MRC Global (MRC Global’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Conditionality Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination shall be deemed to be the date of the Subject Acquisition Agreement (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Conditionality Acquisition and the other transactions required to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the Test Period most recently ended prior to

139

the LCA Test Date, such action would have been permitted on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio, test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if MRC Global has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrowers or the Person subject to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If MRC Global has made an LCA Election for any Limited Conditionality Acquisition, then in connection with any other calculation of any ratio, test or basket capacity with respect to transactions subject to Section 10.2, in each case, not required to be entered into in connection with the applicable Limited Conditionality Acquisition (a “Subsequent Transaction”) following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Conditionality Acquisition is consummated or the date that the Subject Acquisition Agreement is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Conditionality Acquisition (or MRC Global certifies in writing to the Agent that it has elected not to pursue such Limited Conditionality Acquisition), for purposes of determining whether such Subsequent Transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Conditionality Acquisition and other transactions required to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds hereof) have been consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) target assets may not be included in the Borrowing Bases during such period, (ii) Section 6.2 must be satisfied with respect to the funding of any Loans, (iii) the calculation of Consolidated Net Income (and any defined term a component of which is Consolidated Net Income) shall not include the Consolidated Net Income of the Person or assets to be acquired in any Limited Conditionality Acquisition for usages other than in connection with the applicable transaction pertaining to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition until such time as such Limited Conditionality Acquisition is actually consummated, and (iv) such Limited Conditionality Acquisition must be consummated within 180 days after the LCA Test Date.

If any such amount is not transferred to the Agent by any Applicable Lender on such Transfer Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Applicable Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 3.1. From and after the date, if any, on which any Applicable Lender is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Lender’s Pro Rata share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

Each Lender electing to increase or decrease its Borrower Group Commitments shall notify the Agent within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice of its election and the maximum amount of the respective Borrower Group Commitment reallocations to which it would agree (each, a “Reallocation Consent”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Lender shall be obligated to agree to any such Reallocation of its Commitment (and no consent by any Lender to any Reallocation on one occasion shall be deemed consent to any future Reallocation by such Lender), (ii) other than the Lenders consenting to such Reallocation, no consent of any other Lender shall be required, and (iii) the failure of any Lender to affirmatively consent to participate in any such Reallocation on or prior to the fifth Business Day after its receipt of notice thereof shall be deemed to constitute an election by such Lender not to participate in such Reallocation. If, at the end of such five Business Day period, the Agent receives Reallocation Consents from Lenders in an aggregate amount greater than the required reallocation amounts, each such consenting Lender’s affected Borrower Group Commitments shall be increased or decreased on a pro rata basis based on the affected Borrower Group Commitments of the participating Lenders. If the conditions set forth in Section 2.1.6(l) and (m), including, without limitation, the receipt of sufficient Reallocation Consents within the time period set forth above, are not satisfied on the applicable Reallocation Date (or, to the extent such conditions relate to an earlier date, such earlier date), the Agent shall notify the North American Loan Party Agent in writing that the requested Reallocation will not be effectuated; provided, that (A) the Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely (without liability) on the certificate delivered by the North American Loan Party Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.6(l)(ix) in making its determination as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.1.6(l)(ii) through (viii) and (B) if the proposed Reallocation cannot be effected because sufficient Reallocation Consents were not received, then the North American Loan Party Agent may elect to consummate such Reallocation in the lesser amount of the Reallocation Consents that were received. On each Reallocation Date, the Agent shall notify the Lenders of the affected Borrower Groups and the North American Loan Party Agent, on or before 3:00 p.m. by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means, of the occurrence of the Reallocation to be effected on such Reallocation Date, the amount of the Loans held by each such Lender as a result thereof and the amount of the affected Borrower Group Commitments of each such Lender as a result thereof. To the extent necessary where a Lender in one Borrower Group and its separate affiliate that is a Lender in another Borrower Group are participating in a Reallocation, the Reallocation among such Persons shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance. A Lender may agree to a Reallocation to a Borrower Group even if it does not have a Commitment to such Borrower Group prior to such Reallocation. The respective Pro Rata shares of the Lenders shall thereafter, to the extent applicable, be determined based on such reallocated amounts (subject to any subsequent changes thereto), and Agent and the affected Lenders shall make such adjustments as Agent shall deem necessary so that the outstanding Loans and LC Obligations of each Lender equals its Pro Rata share thereof after giving effect to the Reallocation.

Each Australian Fronting Bank agrees to issue Australian Letters of Credit for the account of any Australian Borrower from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (or until the Australian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), in Australian Dollars or, at the option of the Applicable Australian Borrower, Dollars, Euros or Sterling, on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Australian Borrower acknowledges that each Australian Fronting Bank’s willingness to issue any Australian Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such Australian Fronting Bank’s receipt of an Australian LC Application with respect to the requested Australian Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as such Australian Fronting Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. No Australian Fronting Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Australian Letter of Credit unless (i) such Australian Fronting Bank, Bank of America (Hong Kong) and Bank of America (Australia) receive an Australian LC Request and Australian LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each Australian LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender that is an Australian Lender exists, such Lender or Australian Borrowers have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Agent and such Australian Fronting Bank to eliminate any funding risk associated with such Defaulting Lender. If an Australian Fronting Bank receives written notice from an Australian Lender at least three Business Days before issuance of an Australian Letter of Credit that any Australian LC Condition has not been satisfied, such Australian Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Australian Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Borrower Group Lenders or until the Required Borrower Group Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, an Australian Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of Australian LC Conditions. All Existing Australian Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The renewal or extension of any Australian Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Australian Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new Australian LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable Australian Fronting Bank. No Australian Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any Australian Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) Australian Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Australian Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Australian Letter of Credit, none of Agent, any Australian Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in an Australian Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and an Australian Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Australian Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Australian Fronting Bank, Agent or any Australian Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of each Australian Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Australian Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Australian Letter of Credit issued by such Australian Fronting Bank.

159

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Australian Letters of Credit or Australian LC Documents, each Australian Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such Australian Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each Australian Fronting Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each Australian Fronting Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Australian Letters of Credit or Australian LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.2.2 Australian LC Reimbursement; Australian LC Participations.

(a) If an Australian Fronting Bank honors any request for payment under an Australian Letter of Credit, the Applicable Australian Borrower shall pay to such Australian Fronting Bank, on the same day (“Australian Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such Australian Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Australian Base Rate Loans from the Australian Reimbursement Date until payment by the Applicable Australian Borrower. The obligation of the Applicable Australian Borrower to reimburse each Australian Fronting Bank for any payment made under an Australian Letter of Credit issued by such Australian Fronting Bank shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Australian Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Applicable Australian Borrower or Loan Parties may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not the Applicable Australian Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the Applicable Australian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Australian Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due to an Australian Fronting Bank in the currency in which the underlying Australian Letter of Credit was issued on any Australian Reimbursement Date and each Australian Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of an Australian Letter of Credit, each Australian Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Australian Fronting Bank that issued such Australian Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all Australian LC Obligations relating to the Australian Letter of Credit. If the applicable Australian Fronting Bank makes any payment under an Australian Letter of Credit and the Applicable Australian Borrower does not reimburse such payment on the Australian Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Australian Lenders and each Australian Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent in the currency of the payment made under such Australian Letter of Credit, for the benefit of such Australian Fronting Bank, the Australian Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by an Australian Lender, the applicable Australian Fronting Bank shall furnish copies of any Australian Letters of Credit and Australian LC Documents in its possession at such time.

160

(c) The obligation of each Australian Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of the applicable Australian Fronting Bank in connection with such Australian Fronting Bank’s payment under an Australian Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under an Australian Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. No Australian Fronting Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Australian Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any Australian LC Documents. No Australian Fronting Bank makes any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to Australian Lenders with respect to the Australian Facility Collateral, the Australian LC Documents or any Australian Facility Loan Party. No Australian Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any Australian Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Australian LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Australian Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Australian Facility Loan Party.

(d) No Australian Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Australian LC Documents except as a result of such Australian Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Australian Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such Australian Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any Australian Letter of Credit or Australian LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of Australian Borrowers.

2.2.3 Australian LC Cash Collateral. If any Australian LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that an Australian Overadvance exists, (c) after the Australian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then Australian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of an Australian Fronting Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Australian Letters of Credit issued by such Australian Fronting Banks and pay to each Australian Fronting Bank the amount of all other Australian LC Obligations to such Australian Fronting Bank. Australian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand by an Australian Fronting Bank’s or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize, with respect to the Australian Letters of Credit issued by such Australian Fronting Bank, the LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is an Australian Lender. If Australian Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Australian Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Australian Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Australian Revolver Commitments have terminated, any Australian Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.3 Belgian Letters of Credit.

2.3.1 Issuance of Belgian Letters of Credit. Each Belgian Fronting Bank agrees to issue Belgian Letters of Credit for the account of any Belgian Borrower from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (or until the Belgian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), in Euros or, at the option of the Applicable Belgian Borrower, Dollars, on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Belgian Borrower acknowledges that each Belgian Fronting Bank’s willingness to issue any Belgian Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such Belgian Fronting Bank’s receipt of a Belgian LC Application with respect to the requested Belgian Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as such Belgian Fronting Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter

If a Belgian Fronting Bank receives written notice from a Belgian Lender at least three Business Days before issuance of a Belgian Letter of Credit that any Belgian LC Condition has not been satisfied, such Belgian Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Belgian Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Borrower Group Lenders or until the Required Borrower Group Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, a Belgian Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of Belgian LC Conditions. All Existing Belgian Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The renewal or extension of any Belgian Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Belgian Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new Belgian LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable Belgian Fronting Bank. No Belgian Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any Belgian Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) Belgian Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Belgian Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Belgian Letter of Credit, none of Agent, any Belgian Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Belgian Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Belgian Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Belgian Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Belgian Fronting Bank, Agent or any Belgian Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of each Belgian Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Belgian Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Belgian Letter of Credit issued by such Belgian Fronting Bank.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Belgian Letters of Credit or Belgian LC Documents, each Belgian Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such Belgian Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person.

No Belgian Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any Belgian Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Belgian LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Belgian Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Belgian Facility Loan Party.

163

(d) No Belgian Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Belgian LC Documents except as a result of such Belgian Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Belgian Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such Belgian Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any Belgian Letter of Credit or Belgian LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of Belgian Borrowers.

2.3.3 Belgian LC Cash Collateral. If any Belgian LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a Belgian Overadvance exists, (c) after the Belgian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then Belgian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of the Belgian Fronting Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Belgian Letters of Credit and pay to each Belgian Fronting Bank the amount of all other Belgian LC Obligations to such Belgian Fronting Bank. Belgian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand by the Belgian Fronting Bank’s or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is a Belgian Lender. If Belgian Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Belgian Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Belgian Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Belgian Revolver Commitments have terminated, any Belgian Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.4 Canadian Letters of Credit.

2.4.1 Issuance of Canadian Letters of Credit. Each U.S. Fronting Bank agrees to issue Canadian Letters of Credit for the account of any Canadian Borrower from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (or until the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), in Canadian Dollars or, at the option of such Canadian Borrower, Dollars, on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Canadian Borrower acknowledges that each U.S. Fronting Bank’s willingness to issue any Canadian Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such U.S. Fronting Bank’s receipt of a Canadian LC Application with respect to the requested Canadian Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as such U.S. Fronting Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Canadian Letter of Credit unless (i) such U.S. Fronting Bank and Agent receive a Canadian LC Request and Canadian LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each Canadian LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Lender exists, such Lender or Canadian Borrowers have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Agent and such U.S. Fronting Bank to eliminate any funding risk associated with such Defaulting Lender. If a U.S. Fronting Bank receives written notice from a U.S. Lender at least three Business Days before issuance of a Canadian Letter of Credit that any Canadian LC Condition has not been satisfied, such U.S. Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Canadian Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Borrower Group Lenders or until the Required Borrower Group Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, a U.S. Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of Canadian LC Conditions. All Existing Canadian Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

164

(b) The renewal or extension of any Canadian Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Canadian Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new Canadian LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any Canadian Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) Canadian Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Canadian Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Canadian Letter of Credit, none of Agent, any U.S. Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Canadian Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Canadian Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Canadian Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any U.S. Fronting Bank, Agent or any U.S. Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of each U.S. Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each U.S. Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Canadian Letter of Credit issued by such U.S. Fronting Bank.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Canadian Letters of Credit or Canadian LC Documents, each U.S. Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such U.S. Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each U.S. Fronting Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each U.S. Fronting Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Canadian Letters of Credit or Canadian LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.4.2 Canadian LC Reimbursement; Canadian LC Participations.

(a) If a U.S. Fronting Bank honors any request for payment under a Canadian Letter of Credit, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall pay to such U.S. Fronting Bank, on the same day (“Canadian Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such U.S. Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Canadian Prime Rate Loans (if the Canadian Letter of Credit was denominated in Canadian Dollars) and Canadian Base Rate Loans (if the Canadian Letter of Credit was denominated in Dollars), in each case, from the Canadian Reimbursement Date until payment by Canadian Borrower. The obligation of each Canadian Borrower to reimburse each U.S. Fronting Bank for any payment made under a Canadian Letter of Credit issued by such U.S. Fronting Bank shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Canadian Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Canadian Borrowers or other Loan Parties may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not the Initial Canadian Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the Canadian Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due to a U.S. Fronting Bank in the currency in which the underlying Canadian Letter of Credit was issued on any Canadian Reimbursement Date and each U.S. Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

165

No U.S. Fronting Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Canadian Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any Canadian LC Documents. No U.S. Fronting Bank makes any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to U.S. Lenders with respect to the Canadian Facility Collateral, Canadian LC Documents or any Canadian Facility Loan Party. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any U.S. Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Canadian LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Canadian Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Canadian Facility Loan Party.

(d) No U.S. Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Canadian LC Documents except as a result of such U.S. Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

2.4.3 Canadian LC Cash Collateral. If any Canadian LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a U.S. Overadvance exists, (c) after the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then Canadian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of the U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Canadian Letters of Credit and pay to each U.S. Fronting Bank the amount of all other Canadian LC Obligations to such U.S. Fronting Bank. Canadian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand by the U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of any

166

Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Lender. If Canadian Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, U.S. Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Canadian Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the U.S. Revolver Commitments have terminated, any U.S. Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

Each Norwegian Fronting Bank agrees to issue Norwegian Letters of Credit for the account of any Norwegian Borrower from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (or until the Norwegian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), in Norwegian Kroner or, at the option of the relevant Norwegian Borrower, Dollars, Euros or Sterling, on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Norwegian Borrower acknowledges that each Norwegian Fronting Bank’s willingness to issue any Norwegian Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such Norwegian Fronting Bank’s receipt of a Norwegian LC Application with respect to the requested Norwegian Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as such Norwegian Fronting Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. No Norwegian Fronting Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Norwegian Letter of Credit unless (i) such Norwegian Fronting Bank and Bank of America (London) receive a Norwegian LC Request and Norwegian LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each Norwegian LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender that is a Norwegian Lender exists, such Lender or Norwegian Borrowers have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Agent and such Norwegian Fronting Bank to eliminate any funding risk associated with such Defaulting Lender. If a Norwegian Fronting Bank receives written notice from a Norwegian Lender at least three Business Days before issuance of a Norwegian Letter of Credit that any Norwegian LC Condition has not been satisfied, such Norwegian Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Norwegian Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Borrower Group Lenders or until the Required Borrower Group Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, a Norwegian Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of Norwegian LC Conditions. All Existing Norwegian Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

172

(b) The renewal or extension of any Norwegian Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Norwegian Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new Norwegian LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable Norwegian Fronting Bank. No Norwegian Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any Norwegian Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) Norwegian Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Norwegian Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Norwegian Letter of Credit, none of Agent, any Norwegian Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Norwegian Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Norwegian Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Norwegian Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Norwegian Fronting Bank, Agent or any Norwegian Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of each Norwegian Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Norwegian Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Norwegian Letter of Credit.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Norwegian Letters of Credit or Norwegian LC Documents, each Norwegian Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such Norwegian Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each Norwegian Fronting Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each Norwegian Fronting Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Norwegian Letters of Credit or Norwegian LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.7.2 Norwegian LC Reimbursement; Norwegian LC Participations.

(a) If a Norwegian Fronting Bank honors any request for payment under a Norwegian Letter of Credit, Norwegian Borrowers shall pay to such Norwegian Fronting Bank, on the same day (“Norwegian Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such Norwegian Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Norwegian Base Rate Loans from the Norwegian Reimbursement Date until payment by Norwegian Borrowers. The obligation of Norwegian Borrowers to reimburse each Norwegian Fronting Bank for any payment made under a Norwegian Letter of Credit issued by such Norwegian Fronting Bank shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several among Norwegian Borrowers, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of

173

any Norwegian Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Norwegian Borrowers or Loan Parties may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not the European Loan Party Agent or a Norwegian Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, Norwegian Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Norwegian Revolver Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due a Norwegian Fronting Bank in the currency in which the underlying Norwegian Letter of Credit was issued on any Norwegian Reimbursement Date and each Norwegian Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a Norwegian Letter of Credit, each Norwegian Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Norwegian Fronting Bank that issued such Norwegian Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all Norwegian LC Obligations relating to the Norwegian Letter of Credit. If the applicable Norwegian Fronting Bank makes any payment under a Norwegian Letter of Credit and Norwegian Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the Norwegian Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Norwegian Lenders and each Norwegian Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent in the currency of the payment made under such Norwegian Letter of Credit, for the benefit of the Norwegian Fronting Bank, the Norwegian Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Norwegian Lender, the applicable Norwegian Fronting Bank shall furnish copies of any Norwegian Letters of Credit and Norwegian LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each Norwegian Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of the applicable Norwegian Fronting Bank in connection with such Norwegian Fronting Bank’s payment under a Norwegian Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Norwegian Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. No Norwegian Fronting Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Norwegian Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any Norwegian LC Documents. No Norwegian Fronting Bank makes any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to Norwegian Lenders with respect to the Norwegian Facility Collateral, the Norwegian LC Documents or any Norwegian Facility Loan Party. No Norwegian Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any Norwegian Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Norwegian LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Norwegian Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Norwegian Facility Loan Party.

(d) No Norwegian Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Norwegian LC Documents except as a result of each Norwegian Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Norwegian Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such Norwegian Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any Norwegian Letter of Credit or Norwegian LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of Norwegian Borrowers.

174

2.7.3 Norwegian LC Cash Collateral. If any Norwegian LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a Norwegian Overadvance exists, (c) after the Norwegian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then Norwegian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of the Norwegian Fronting Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Norwegian Letters of Credit and pay to each Norwegian Fronting Bank the amount of all other Norwegian LC Obligations to such Norwegian Fronting Bank. Norwegian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand by the Norwegian Fronting Bank’s or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is a Norwegian Lender. If Norwegian Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Norwegian Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Norwegian Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Norwegian Revolver Commitments have terminated, any Norwegian Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.8 Singapore Letters of Credit.

Prior to receipt of any such notice, a Singapore Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of Singapore LC Conditions.

(b) The renewal or extension of any Singapore Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Singapore Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new Singapore LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable Singapore Fronting Bank.

The rights and remedies of each Singapore Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Singapore Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Singapore Letter of Credit issued by such Singapore Fronting Bank.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Singapore Letters of Credit or Singapore LC Documents, each Singapore Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such Singapore Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person.

In connection with issuance of any U.S. Letter of Credit, none of Agent, any U.S. Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a U.S. Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a U.S. Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any U.S. Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any U.S. Fronting Bank, Agent or any U.S. Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority.

Each U.S. Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any U.S. Letter of Credit issued by such U.S. Fronting Bank.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any U.S. Letters of Credit or U.S. LC Documents, each U.S. Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such U.S. Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person.

(a) If a U.S. Fronting Bank honors any request for payment under a U.S. Letter of Credit, U.S. Borrowers shall pay to such U.S. Fronting Bank, on the same day (“U.S. Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such U.S. Fronting Bank under such U.S. Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for U.S. Base Rate Loans from the U.S. Reimbursement Date until payment by U.S. Borrowers. The obligation of U.S. Borrowers to reimburse each U.S. Fronting Bank for any payment made under a U.S. Letter of Credit issued by such U.S. Fronting Bank shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several among U.S. Borrowers, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any U.S. Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that U.S. Borrowers or Loan Parties may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not the

181

North American Loan Party Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, U.S. Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) to pay all amounts due to a U.S. Fronting Bank on any U.S. Reimbursement Date and each U.S. Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a U.S. Letter of Credit, each U.S. Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the U.S. Fronting Bank that issued such U.S. Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all U.S. LC Obligations relating to the U.S. Letter of Credit. If the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank makes any payment under a U.S. Letter of Credit and U.S. Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the U.S. Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify U.S. Lenders and each U.S. Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent in Dollars, for the benefit of U.S. Fronting Bank, the U.S. Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof). Upon request by a U.S. Lender, the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank shall furnish copies of any U.S. Letters of Credit and U.S. LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each U.S. Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank in connection with such U.S. Fronting Bank’s payment under a U.S. Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a U.S. Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. No U.S. Fronting Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any U.S. Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any U.S. LC Documents. No U.S. Fronting Bank makes any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to U.S. Lenders with respect to the U.S. Facility Collateral, U.S. LC Documents or any U.S. Facility Loan Party. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any U.S. Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any U.S. LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any U.S. Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any U.S. Facility Loan Party.

(d) No U.S. Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any U.S. LC Documents except as a result of each U.S. Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such U.S. Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any U.S. Letter of Credit or U.S. LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of the Borrower Group consisting of the U.S. Borrowers.

2.10.3 U.S. LC Cash Collateral. If any U.S. LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a U.S. Overadvance exists, (c) after the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then U.S. Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding U.S. Letters of Credit (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and pay to each U.S. Fronting Bank the amount of all other U.S. LC Obligations to such U.S. Fronting Bank. U.S. Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand

182

by U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the U.S. LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Lender. If U.S. Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as U.S. Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the U.S. Revolver Commitments have terminated, any U.S. Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.11 Fronting Bank Sublimits. Notwithstanding Sections 2.2 through 2.10 to the contrary, no Fronting Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify any Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the aggregate LC Obligations outstanding in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank and its Affiliates would exceed such Fronting Bank’s Fronting Bank Sublimit. Any Letter of Credit issued by a Fronting Bank in excess of its individual Fronting Bank Sublimit shall nonetheless constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of the Agreement.

2.12 Applicable Foreign Borrower Sublimits; Overline. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2 (subject to Sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.5), in no event shall any Applicable Foreign Borrower be entitled to receive a Revolver Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit (and no Lender shall be required to make or support the same) if at the time of the proposed funding of such Revolver Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit (and after giving effect thereto and all pending requests for Revolver Loans and Letters of Credit by or on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers), the sum of (a) the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding amount of all Revolver Loans made to such Borrower on such date and (b) the LC Obligations of such Borrower on such date exceeds the lesser of such Borrower’s individual Borrowing Base (without giving effect to its allocable portion of any LC Reserve) or Applicable Foreign Borrower Commitment. If as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of all outstanding Revolver Loans made to an Applicable Foreign Borrower and the LC Obligations of such Borrower exceed such Borrower’s Applicable Foreign Borrower Commitment, the excess amount shall be payable by the Applicable Foreign Borrower within three Business Days following demand by Agent. If as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of all outstanding Norwegian Revolver Loans and the Norwegian LC Obligations exceed the Norwegian Revolver Commitment, the excess amount shall be payable by the Norwegian Borrowers within three Business Days following demand by Agent. In no event shall the aggregate Applicable Foreign Borrower Commitments for all members of a Foreign Borrower Group exceed the Foreign Revolver Commitments for such Foreign Borrower Group.

2.13 Obligations of the non-U.S./Canadian Loan Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly agreed by the Agent and the North American Loan Party Agent, no Excluded Loan Party shall be liable or in any manner responsible for, or be deemed to have guaranteed, directly or indirectly, whether as a primary obligor, guarantor, indemnitor, or otherwise, and none of their assets shall secure, directly or indirectly, any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees, penalties, premiums, expenses, charges, reimbursements, indemnities or any other U.S. Facility Secured Obligations (but excluding Foreign Facility Secured Obligations to the extent constituting U.S. Facility Secured Obligations)) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money, except to the extent such treatment is inconsistent with any Applicable Law.

For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as applicable) and divided by the number of days in the shorter period (360 days, in the example), and the parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material distinction between the nominal and effective rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates and that the calculations herein are to be made using the nominal rate method and not on any basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest.

192

3.4 Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers within each Borrower Group shall reimburse Agent and Security Trustees for all Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Agent and Security Trustees in reference to such Borrower Group or its related Loan Party Group Obligations or Collateral of its related Loan Party Group. In addition to such Extraordinary Expenses, such Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent and Security Trustees for all reasonable and documented legal, accounting, appraisal, and other reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses, without duplication, incurred by them in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Agent’s or any Security Trustee’s Liens on any such Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify such Collateral; and (c) each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Loan Party within such Borrowers’ related Loan Party Group or Collateral securing such Loan Party Group’s Obligations, whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party (subject to the limitations of Section 10.1.15). All legal and accounting fees incurred by Agent Professionals or any applicable Security Trustee in reference to a Borrower’s related Loan Party Group or its related Loan Party Group Obligations or Collateral of such Borrower’s related Loan Party Group shall be charged to Borrowers within such Borrower Group at the actual rate charged by such Agent Professionals or such Security Trustee; provided that Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse Agent and Security Trustees for legal fees shall be limited to the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of Haynes and Boone, LLP, U.S. counsel to Agent, Norton Rose Fulbright, as foreign counsel to Agent and Security Trustees (other than in Belgium, New Zealand and Norway), LYDIAN BV, Belgian counsel to Agent and Security Trustees, Bell Gully, New Zealand counsel to Agent and Security Trustees, Advokatfirmaet BAHR AS, Norwegian counsel to Agent and Security Trustees and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may include a local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions). In addition to the Extraordinary Expenses of Agent and Security Trustees, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event Default, Borrowers shall reimburse Fronting Banks and Lenders for the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Fronting Banks and Lenders, as a whole, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of their respective rights under the Loan Documents, including all such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or Insolvency Proceeding. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin (or New Zealand Applicable Margin or Singapore Applicable Margin) should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall be due and payable in accordance with Section 3.3.

3.5 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Relevant Rate Loans or Term SOFR Rate Loans or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon a Relevant Rate or Term SOFR or to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any applicable currency in the applicable interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or maintain Relevant Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans in the affected currency or currencies, or to convert Floating Rate Loans to Interest Period Loans shall be, in each case, suspended. Upon delivery of such notice, (a) U.S. Borrowers shall, in the case of all U.S. Revolver Loans bearing interest based on Term SOFR, prepay or, if applicable, convert all such Term SOFR Loans of such Lender to U.S. Base Rate Loans, in each case, immediately, or on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, and (b) all other Borrowers shall, in the case of all Revolver Loans (other than U.S. Revolver Loans) bearing interest based on a Relevant Rate or Term SOFR, prepay all such Relevant Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans, in each case, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such

193

Relevant Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Relevant Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers of the affected Borrower Group shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. If any Lender invokes this Section 3.5, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to notify a Loan Party Agent and Agent when the conditions giving rise to such action no longer exists, provided, that such Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers or to any other Person for its failure to provide such notice.

3.6 Inability to Determine Rates; Replacement of Term SOFR; Replacement of Relevant Rates.

3.6.1 Inability to Determine Term SOFR Rate. If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable, (a) Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) no Term SOFR Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 3.6.2, and the circumstances under Section 3.6.2(a) or the Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (b) Agent or Required Lenders determine that for any reason Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify Loan Party Agents and Lenders. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of Lenders to make, maintain, or convert Base Rate Loans to, Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of any Base Rate, the utilization of such component in determining such Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Agent (or, in the case of a determination by Required Lenders described above, until Agent upon instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (I) a Loan Party Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans, and (II) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall convert to Base Rate Loans at the end of their respective Interest Periods.

3.6.2 Replacement of Term SOFR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with respect to Dollars and for Term SOFR replacement, if Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or a Loan Party Agent or Required Lenders notify Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the North American Loan Party Agent) that such Loan Party Agent or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one, three and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(b) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Agent, CME or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one, three and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided, that at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator satisfactory to Agent that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one, three and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, “Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

194

then, on a date and time determined by Agent (any such date, “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (b) above, no later than the Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any other applicable Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, any Loan Document (“Term SOFR Successor Rate”). If the Term SOFR Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest will be payable on a quarterly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) if Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date or (y) if the events or circumstances of the type described in clauses (a) or (b) above have occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, Agent and Loan Party Agents may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Term SOFR Successor Rate in accordance with this Section at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for such alternative benchmarks in similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for such benchmarks in similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a Term SOFR Successor Rate. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Loan Party Agents unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Loan Party Agents and each Lender of the implementation of any Term SOFR Successor Rate. Any Term SOFR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Agent, such Term SOFR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Term SOFR Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Term SOFR Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

3.6.3 Inability to Determine Relevant Rate; Replacement of Relevant Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 3.6.3, the term “Relevant Rate Loan” shall exclude a Term SOFR Loan (with Term SOFR replacement determined in accordance with Section 3.6.2 above).

(a) If in connection with any request for a Relevant Rate Loan or a conversion of Foreign Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Relevant Rate Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, as applicable, (i) Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Alternative Currency Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency has been determined in accordance with Section 3.6.3(b) and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 3.6.3(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable), or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency for any determination date(s) or requested Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Relevant Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed

195

Foreign Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, or (ii) Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency for any requested Interest Period or determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify the applicable Loan Party Agent and each Lender.

Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain such Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, or to convert Foreign Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Relevant Rate Loans, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Relevant Rate Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to any component of the Foreign Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, the utilization of such component in determining the Foreign Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.6.3(a), until Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.

Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the applicable Loan Party Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to Relevant Rate Loans, or Borrowing of, or continuation of Relevant Rate Loans to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Foreign Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Relevant Rate Loans, at the applicable Loan Party Agent’s election, shall either (A) be converted into a Borrowing of Foreign Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding Relevant Rate Loan immediately at the end of the applicable Interest Period or payment period or (B) be prepaid in full immediately at the end of the applicable Interest Period or payment period; provided that if no election is made by the applicable Loan Party Agent by the last day of the current Interest Period or payment period, the applicable Loan Party Agent shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above.

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

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) is available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary;

(ii) the applicable administrator for the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in such Alternative Currency, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Alternative Currency (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

196

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S., are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency;

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.6.3(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) have occurred with respect to the Alternative Currency Successor Rate then in effect, then, Agent and the applicable Loan Party Agent may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Alternative Currency or any then current Alternative Currency Successor Rate for an Alternative Currency in accordance with this Section 3.6.3 with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Alternative Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in such Alternative Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, an “Alternative Currency Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the applicable Loan Party Agent unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the applicable Loan Party Agent and each Lender of the implementation of any Alternative Currency Successor Rate.

Any Alternative Currency Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for Agent, such Alternative Currency Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Alternative Currency Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Alternative Currency Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

3.7 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1 Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Australian Bank Bill Rate, Term CORRA, EURIBOR, the New Zealand Bank Bill Rate, or NIBOR) or Fronting Bank;

(b) impose on any Lender or Fronting Bank or the relevant interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit or participation in LC Obligations; or

(c) subject any Lender or Fronting Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Taxes) on any Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

197

and the result thereof 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 increase the cost to such Lender or Fronting Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Fronting Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Fronting Bank, the Borrower Group to which such Lender or Fronting Bank has a Commitment shall pay to such Lender or Fronting Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Fronting Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.3.

3.7.2 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Fronting Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Fronting Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations to a level below that which such Lender, Fronting Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower Group to which such Lender or Fronting Bank has a Commitment will pay to such Lender or Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.3.

3.7.3 Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Fronting Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers of a Borrower Group shall not be required to compensate a Lender to such Borrower Group or Fronting Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that the Lender or Fronting Bank notifies a Loan Party Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.8 Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts with respect to a Lender under Section 5.8, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office 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 (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender or unlawful. The Borrower or Borrowers of each affected Borrower Group shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender that has issued a Commitment to such Borrower Group in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9 Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an Interest Period Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of an Interest Period Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, or (c) any Borrower of a Borrower Group fails to repay an Interest Period Loan when required hereunder, then Borrowers of such Borrower Group shall pay to Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses and expenses that it sustains as a consequence thereof, including any loss or expense

198

arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits of matching funds, but excluding loss of margin. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.9 shall be due and payable in accordance with Section 3.3. Lenders shall not be required to purchase deposits in the London interbank market or any other applicable market to fund any Interest Period Loan, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if each Lender had purchased such deposits to fund such Loans.

3.10 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower Group to which such excess interest relates or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to such Borrower Group. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of Section 3.10, if any provision of any of the Loan Documents would obligate any Canadian Domiciled Loan Party to make any payment of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in the receipt of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates 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 law or so result in a receipt by the applicable recipient of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid by the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties to the applicable recipient under the Loan Documents; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid by the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties to the applicable recipient which would constitute interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the applicable recipient shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the applicable recipient in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the applicable recipient to the applicable Canadian Domiciled Loan Party. Any amount or rate of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations referred to in this Section 3.10 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Canadian Revolver Loans to any Canadian Borrower remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be prorated over that period of time and otherwise be prorated over the period from the Closing Date to the date of Full Payment of the Canadian Facility Obligations, and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

202

4.1.2 Fundings by Lenders; Settlement.

(a) Each Applicable Lender shall timely honor its Borrower Group Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans under such Borrower Group Commitment that is properly requested hereunder; provided, that, subject to Sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.5, no Lender shall be required to honor its Borrower Group Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of any Borrowing that would cause the Revolver Loans to a Borrower Group to exceed the aggregate Borrowing Base for such Borrower Group or, with respect to any Applicable Foreign Borrower, the limit contained in Section 2.12. Agent shall endeavor to notify the Applicable Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by (i) 12:00 noon (Local Time) on the proposed funding date for Floating Rate Loans to U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrowers (other than Canadian Prime Rate Loans), (ii) 12:00 noon (Local Time) two Business Days before any proposed funding date for Floating Rate Loans to Foreign Borrowers or Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Canadian Borrowers, or (iii) 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) at least two Business Days before any proposed funding of Interest Period Loans. Each Applicable Lender shall fund to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which event each Applicable Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Applicable Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver Loans as directed by the applicable Loan Party Agent. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from an Applicable Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Applicable Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower or Borrowers within such Borrower Group. If an Applicable Lender’s share of any Borrowing is not received by Agent, then the Borrower or Borrowers within the Borrower Group agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may, in its discretion, fund any request for a Borrowing of Revolver Loans as Swingline Loans.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Fronting Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Fronting Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Agent makes for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Fronting Bank hereunder as to which the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (i) the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (ii) the Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the applicable Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (iii) the Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders or the applicable Fronting Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender or the applicable Fronting Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

203

(c) To facilitate administration of the Revolver Loans, the Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower or any other Loan Party) that settlement among them with respect to Swingline Loans and other Revolver Loans may take place on a date determined from time to time by the Agent, which shall occur at least once every (i) five (5) Business Days with respect to U.S. Swingline Loans, Canadian Swingline Loans and any other Revolver Loans (excluding other Swingline Loans) and (ii) ten (10) Business Days with respect to Australian Swingline Loans, Belgian Swingline Loans, Dutch Swingline Loans, New Zealand Swingline Loans, Norwegian Swingline Loans, Singapore Swingline Loans and UK Swingline Loans. Norwegian Borrowers authorize Agent to settle Norwegian Swingline Loans into NIBOR Loans with one month Interest Periods. On each settlement date, settlement shall be made with each Lender in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by the Agent to the Lenders. Between settlement dates, the Agent may in its discretion (but is not obligated to) apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by a Loan Party Agent or any Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements with the Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among the Lenders hereunder, then each Applicable Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the applicable Swingline Lender a Pro Rata participation in each unpaid Swingline Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after the Agent’s request therefor.

4.1.3 Notices. Each Borrower authorizes the Agent and Lenders to extend Loans, convert or continue Revolver Loans, effect selections of interest rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of applicable Borrowers based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions by Loan Party Agents to the Agent. Each Loan Party Agent shall confirm each such request by reasonably prompt delivery to the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent or Lenders, the records of the Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of the Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by the Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Loan Party Agent’s behalf.

4.1.4 Conforming Changes. Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time with respect to SOFR, Term SOFR, any Relevant Rate or any Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, any amendment implementing such changes shall be effective without further action or consent of any party to any Loan Document. Agent shall post or provide each such amendment to Lenders and Loan Party Agents reasonably promptly after it becomes effective.

4.2 Defaulting Lender.

4.2.1 Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Loans or Letters of Credit, the Agent may exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender from the calculation of Pro Rata shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 14.1.1(c).

4.2.2 Payments; Fees. The Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to the Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. The Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s LC Obligations, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing

204

hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2.1. If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Sections 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 3.2.5, 3.2.6, 3.2.7, 3.2.8, 3.2.9, or 3.2.10 shall be paid to such Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.2.2, the LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender may be reallocated to the other Lenders only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Total Revolver Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. The Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.

4.2.3 Cure. Borrowers, the Agent and each Fronting Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and Loans, and all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by the Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, the Agent and each Fronting Bank, or as expressly provided herein with respect to Bail-In Actions and related matters, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

4.3 Number and Amount of Interest Period Loans; Determination of Rate. For ease of administration, all Interest Period Loans of the same Type to a Borrower Group having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods and the same currency shall be aggregated together, and such Loans shall be allocated among the Applicable Lenders on a Pro Rata basis. With respect to any Borrower Group, no more than six (6) Borrowings of Interest Period Loans may be outstanding at any time, and each Borrowing of Interest Period Loans when made, continued or converted shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, or an increment of $100,000 in excess thereof. Upon determining Australian Bank Bill Rate, Term CORRA, EURIBOR, Term SOFR, New Zealand Bank Bill Rate, or NIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers within a Borrower Group, Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Loan Party Agent thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by such Loan Party Agent, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1 General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free and clear of (and without deduction for) any Taxes (subject to Section 5.8), and in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Any payment of an Interest Period Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9. Any prepayment of Loans to a Borrower Group shall be applied first to costs and expenses of Agent and Security Trustees (including any Extraordinary Expenses) relating to such Borrower Group, second to Floating Rate Loans (and Agent may, in its discretion, apply such prepayment to Swingline Loans before other Revolver Loans) of such Borrower Group, and then to Interest Period Loans of such Borrower Group; provided, that as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, prepayments of Interest Period Loans may, at the option of Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group and Agent, be held by Agent as Cash Collateral and applied to such Loans at the end of their Interest Periods (in which case no compensation under Section 3.9 hereof shall be payable with respect to such prepayment). All payments with respect to any U.S. Facility Obligations shall be made in Dollars (other than under Sections 2.10.2(a) and 3.2.10(b) with respect to U.S. Letters of Credit denominated in currencies other than Dollars) and all payments with respect to any other Obligation shall be made in the currency of the underlying Obligation.

All (a) Australian Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Australian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (b) Belgian Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Belgian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (c) Canadian Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (d) Dutch Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (e) New Zealand Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the New Zealand Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (f) Norwegian Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Norwegian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (g) Singapore Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Singapore Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (h) UK Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the UK Revolver Commitment Termination Date, and (i) U.S. Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, in each case, unless payment of such Obligations is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium, pursuant to a notice of prepayment (in form satisfactory to Agent) delivered to Agent concurrently with prepayment of a Swingline Loan and at least three Business Days prior to prepayment of other Loans; provided, that (A) no such notice shall be

208

required for payments applied pursuant to Section 5.6 and (B) in the case of Interest Period Loans, such prepayment shall be subject to the payment of costs set forth in Section 3.9 (except to the extent provided in Section 5.1). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrowers of the Borrower Group owing such Overadvance shall, on the sooner of Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower of such Borrower Group has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of the related Overadvance Loan to zero. If as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise the sum of all outstanding (i) U.S. Revolver Loans, Canadian Revolver Loans, U.S. LC Obligations and Canadian LC Obligations exceeds the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the excess amount shall be payable by the U.S. Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers within three Business Days following demand by Agent and (ii) Canadian Revolver Loans and Canadian LC Obligations exceeds the Canadian Revolver Sublimit, the excess amount shall be payable by the U.S. Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers within three Business Days following demand by Agent.

5.4 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent, Security Trustees, Fronting Banks or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers is made to Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank, or any Lender, or Agent, any applicable Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent, such Security Trustee, such Fronting Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a Creditor Representative or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

Amounts shall be applied to each category of Secured Obligations set forth within clauses (a) through (i) above, as applicable, until Full Payment thereof and then to the next category.

Party fails to deliver such calculation within five days following request by Agent, Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is zero. The allocations set forth in this Section 5.5.1 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Secured Parties as among themselves, and any allocation within clauses (a) through (i) of proceeds of the realization of Collateral may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. This Section 5.5.1 is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower.

5.5.2 Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

5.6 Application of Payments. The ledger balance in the Dominion Accounts of each Borrower Group as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Loan Party Group Obligations of such Borrower Group at the beginning of the next Business Day during the existence of any Cash Dominion Event; provided, that Agent may, in its discretion, apply the ledger balance in any Dominion Account of any Australian Borrower, New Zealand Borrower, Norwegian Borrower, Singapore Borrower or UK Borrower to the respective Loan Party Group Obligations of such Borrower Group whether or not a Cash Dominion Event exists. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group as long as no Event of Default exists. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems advisable; provided, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the option of Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group in accordance with Section 5.1, Agent shall not apply any payments to any Interest Period Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

5.7 Loan Account; Account Stated.

5.7.1 Loan Account. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations of Borrowers within each Borrower Group resulting from each Loan made to such Borrowers or issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrowers from time to time. Any failure of Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower to pay any amount owing hereunder. With respect to U.S. Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers, Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of the North American Loan Party Agent, and each U.S. Borrower and Canadian Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Secured Obligations including its guarantee of the Secured Obligations of the Foreign Borrowers. With respect to Norwegian Borrowers, Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of the Norwegian Borrowers, and each Norwegian Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Norwegian Facility Obligations.

5.7.2 Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within 45 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

218

5.8 Taxes. For purposes of this Section 5.8, the term “Lender” includes any Fronting Bank. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.8 is intended to operate such that it applies to all Borrowers, save in respect of the New Zealand Borrowers, Australian Borrowers, Belgian Borrowers, Dutch Borrowers, Singapore Borrowers and UK Borrowers, in respect of whom the provisions of this Section 5.8 shall apply to those Borrowers only to the extent set out in Sections 5.8.4, 5.8.5, 5.8.6, 5.8.7, 5.8.8 and 5.8.9 respectively.

5.8.1 Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party of Obligations shall be free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, unless required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law requires any Loan Party or Agent to withhold or deduct any Taxes, the withholding or deduction shall be based on Applicable Law and the information provided pursuant to this Section 5.8 and Section 5.9, and Borrowers or Agent shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased so that the applicable Credit Parties and Security Trustees receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.8.1) had been made. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities.

5.8.2 Payment. Borrowers shall (jointly and severally within each Borrower Group) indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse each Credit Party and each Security Trustee for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.8.2) paid by such Credit Party or such Security Trustee, with respect to any Obligations of such Borrower’s Borrower Group, whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and including all penalties, interest and reasonable expenses relating thereto. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and basis for calculation of any such payment or liability delivered to a Loan Party Agent by a Credit Party or a Security Trustee (with a copy to Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error and all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 5.8.2 shall be due in accordance with Section 5.3. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower, the relevant Loan Party Agent shall deliver to Agent a receipt from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

5.8.3 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Credit Party or any Security Trustee shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund or credit from a Governmental Authority in respect of any Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8, such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall promptly notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and, if such Credit Party or such Security Trustee determines in good faith that making a claim for refund will not have a material adverse effect on its Taxes or business operations, shall, within 60 days after receipt of a request by such Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund. If a Credit Party or a Security Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section 5.8 with respect to the Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party or such Security Trustee, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrowers agree in writing to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus interest attributable to the period during which the Borrowers held such funds) to such Credit Party or such Security Trustee in the event that such Credit Party or such Security Trustee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Credit Party or any Security Trustee to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes) to any Borrower or any other Person.

219

5.8.4 New Zealand Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 5.8 (other than Sections 5.8.1, 5.8.2, 5.8.3 and this Section 5.8.4) shall not apply to any advance under any Loan Document to any New Zealand Borrower.

(a) Each New Zealand Borrower must:

(i) elect to register as an “approved issuer” (as defined in section YA 1 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (NZ)) and register the facilities under this Agreement with the Commissioner of Inland Revenue under section 86H of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971 (NZ) (the “Stamp Act”) promptly after the date of this Agreement (or, alternatively, where applicable, promptly after such later date as the New Zealand Borrower becomes a New Zealand Borrower under this Agreement) and maintain such registrations at all times thereafter (provided it is lawfully able to do so); and

(ii) in respect of any payment of interest (or payment deemed by law to be interest) to Lenders who are not resident in New Zealand for taxation purposes, and who are not: (A) a “registered bank” (as defined in section 2 of the Banking (Prudential Supervision) Act 1989 (NZ)) engaged in business in New Zealand through a fixed establishment in New Zealand; or (B) deriving interest (or any payment deemed by law to be interest) under this Agreement for the purposes of a business they carry on in New Zealand through a fixed establishment in New Zealand, make by not later than the due date thereof the relevant payment of approved issuer levy (as defined in section 86F of the Stamp Act) in accordance with section 86K of the Stamp Act in order to reduce (to the extent permitted by law) the applicable level of non-resident withholding tax to zero percent.

(b) Where a New Zealand Borrower makes a payment of interest to which clause 5.8.4(a)(ii) applies the New Zealand Borrower shall be entitled to deduct from that payment of interest an amount equal to the amount of approved issuer levy which is payable in relation to that interest payment.

5.8.5 Australia Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 5.8 (other than this Section 5.8.5) shall not apply, and instead the provisions of this Section 5.8.5 shall apply, to any advance under any Loan Document to any Australian Borrower.

(a) In respect of any advance under any Loan Document to an Australian Borrower, the definition of “Foreign Lender” as otherwise provided in this Agreement is hereby modified for all purposes of this Agreement to include an Australian resident entity’s branch outside of Australia.

(b) Definitions. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.8.5, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“FATCA Deduction” means a deduction or withholding from a payment under a Loan Document required by FATCA.

“FATCA Exempt Party” means a Party that is entitled to receive payments free from any FATCA Deduction.

220

“GST” has the meaning given to it in the Australian A New Tax System (Goods and Services) Tax Act 1999 (Cth), as shall any other term used in Section 5.8.5(j) which is defined for purposes of that Act.

“Party” means a party to this Agreement.

“Qualifying Lender” means, in relation to an Australian Borrower, a Foreign Lender which:

(i) derives all interest on and all fees payable in connection with any Loan Document in carrying on business in Australia at or through a “permanent establishment” in Australia for the purposes of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth), other than as a limited partner in a VCLP, ESVCLP or AFOF (as those terms are defined for the purposes of that Act); or

(ii) is a Treaty Lender with respect to taxes imposed in or under the laws of Australia.

“Treaty State” means a jurisdiction having a double taxation agreement (a “Treaty”) with Australia in force in accordance with the Australian International Tax Agreements Act 1953 (Cth), which makes provision for full exemption from tax withheld on interest paid by an Australian resident to a Treaty Lender.

(c) Tax Gross-up. Save to the extent required under any applicable law, all payments to be made by an Australian Borrower to any Foreign Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes. If an Australian Borrower is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes, or an amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any Foreign Lender, the sum payable by such Australian Borrower (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that such Foreign Lender receives a sum equal to the sum that such Foreign Lender would have received if no such deduction or withholding (including deductions or withholdings applicable to any additional amounts paid under this Section 5.8.5(c)) had been made; provided, that this Section 5.8.5(c) shall not apply to the extent that such deduction or withholding relates to any withholding tax imposed under FATCA or would not have arisen if the relevant Foreign Lender had complied with its obligations under Section 5.8.5(f) (Foreign Lender’s Status), or Section 5.8.5(g) (Double Taxation Relief) or Subdivision 12-E of Schedule 1 to the Australian Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth) to the extent the Foreign Lender is required to have a TFN or ABN (as defined for purposes of those provisions) under Australian law, as the case may be.

(d) Tax Indemnity.

(i) The Australian Borrowers shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Lender determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Taxes by that Lender in respect of a Loan Document.

(ii) Clause (d)(i) above shall not apply:

(A) with respect to any Taxes assessed on a Lender:

221

(1) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which such Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(2) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in such jurisdiction,

if such Taxes are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by such Lender; or

(B) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(1) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up); or

(2) relates to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party; or

(3) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in that Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up) applied.

(iii) A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 5.8.5(d)(i) above shall promptly notify Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which Agent shall notify the Borrowers.

(iv) A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the Australian Borrowers under this Section 5.8.5(d), notify Agent.

(e) Tax Credit. If an Australian Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Lender determines that:

(i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(ii) that Lender has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit.

the Lender shall as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of such Tax Credit pay an amount to the Australian Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Australian Borrower.

(f) Foreign Lender’s Status.

Each Foreign Lender certifies to the Agent and the Australian Borrowers (on the date hereof or, in the case of a Foreign Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to a transfer or assignment, on the date on which the relevant transfer or assignment becomes effective) that it is a Qualifying Lender and each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Agent if there is any change in its position from that set out above. Upon receipt of any such notification from a Foreign Lender, the Agent shall promptly notify the Australian Borrowers thereof. If any Foreign Lender is not or ceases to be a Qualifying Lender or does

222

not comply with or perform the formalities required to be a Qualifying Lender (except by reason of any Change in Tax Law after the date the Foreign Lender becomes a party to this agreement) the Australian Borrower shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 5.8.5 to pay with respect to the Foreign Lender any amount greater than the amount which the Australian Borrower would have been liable to pay pursuant to this Section 5.8.5 with respect to that Foreign Lender if that Foreign Lender had been, or had not ceased to be on that date, a Qualifying Lender and had complied with or had performed the formalities required to be a Qualifying Lender.

(g) Double Taxation Relief.

If, and to the extent that, the effect of Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up) or Section 5.8.5(d) (Tax Indemnity) can be mitigated by virtue of the provisions of any applicable double taxation agreement or any applicable tax law (whether by a claim to repayment of any taxes referred to in Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up) or Section 5.8.5(d) (Tax Indemnity) or otherwise) the relevant Foreign Lender shall co-operate with the Australian Borrower with a view to ensuring the application of such double taxation agreement or applicable tax law so far as relevant.

(h) Notification of Requirement to Deduct Tax.

If, at any time, an Australian Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable by it hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such deductions or withholdings are calculated), such Australian Borrower shall promptly notify Agent.

(i) Evidence of Payment of Tax.

If an Australian Borrower makes any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in respect of which it is required to make any deduction or withholding, it shall pay the full amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, deliver to the Agent on behalf of the Foreign Lenders to which such payment was made evidence of payment as is reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(j) Goods and Services Tax.

(i) All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a taxable supply or taxable supplies for GST purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of GST and the party liable to make that payment shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the GST payable on that supply, subject to receiving a valid tax invoice from the supplier of that supply.

(ii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense the reimbursement or indemnity (as the case may be) shall be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit that the Lender (or representative member of the GST Group of which the Lender is a member) is entitled to.

(k) Stamp Taxes.

223

The Australian Borrowers shall:

(i) pay all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document; and

(ii) within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or liability that Lender incurs in relation to any stamp duty, registration or other similar Tax paid or payable in respect of any Loan Document.

(l) FATCA Information.

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

(A) confirm to that other Party whether it is a FATCA Exempt Party or not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(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 Credit 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

(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 the Loan 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.

(m) 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.

224

(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 notify the Asian Loan Party Agent and Agent and Agent shall notify the other Credit Parties.

5.8.6 Belgium Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 5.8 (other than this Section 5.8.6) shall not apply, and instead the provisions of this Section 5.8.6 shall apply, to any advance under any Loan Document to any Belgian Borrower.

(ii) a credit institution that is acting through a permanent establishment which (i) itself qualifies as a credit institution within the meaning of the aforementioned article 107, §2, 5°, a) second dash and (ii) is located in a country with which Belgium has entered into a double taxation agreement that is in force (irrespective of whether or not the double taxation agreement makes provision for exemption from tax imposed by Belgium) or in a country which is a member state of the European Economic Area; or

(i) Each Belgian Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it under any Loan Document without any Tax Deduction unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(ii) A Belgian Borrower shall, promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall promptly notify Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Belgian Borrower.

(iii) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by a Belgian Borrower, the amount of the payment due from that Belgian Borrower shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) is equal to the payment which would have been made by the Belgian Borrower if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(iv) A payment shall not be increased under clause (iii) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Taxes imposed by Belgium if, on the date on which the payment falls due:

(A) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender was not or had ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(B) the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender and the payment to the relevant Lender could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under clause (vii) below.

(v) If a Belgian Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Belgian Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(vi) Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Belgian Borrower making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to Agent for the benefit of the Lender entitled to the payment an evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Lender that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

(A) with respect to any Taxes assessed on a Lender:

(1) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which such Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(2) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in such jurisdiction,

if such Taxes are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by such Lender; or

(B) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(1) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.8.6(b)(iii) (Tax Gross-up);

(2) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.8.6(b)(iii) (Tax Gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 5.8.6(b)(iv) (Tax Gross-up) applied; or

(3) is suffered or incurred in respect of any Bank Levy (or any payment attributable to, or liability arising as a consequence of, a Bank Levy).

(iii) A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 5.8.6(c)(i) above shall promptly notify Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which Agent shall notify the Belgian Borrowers.

(iv) A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the Belgian Borrowers under this Section 5.8.6(c), notify Agent.

(d) Tax Credit. If a Belgian Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Lender determines that:

(i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(ii) that Lender has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit,

the Lender shall (to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such Tax Credit and to the extent that it is lawful for it to do so) as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of such Tax Credit pay an amount to the Belgian Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Belgian Borrower.

227

(e) Lender Status Confirmation. Each New Lender shall indicate, in the Assignment and Acceptance which it executes on becoming a party, and for the benefit of Agent and without liability to any Belgian Borrower, which of the following categories it falls within:

(i) not a Qualifying Lender;

(ii) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or

(iii) a Treaty Lender.

If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 5.8.6(e), then such New Lender or Lender (as appropriate) shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Belgian Borrower) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies Agent which category of Qualifying Lender applies (and Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Belgian Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Acceptance shall not be invalidated by any failure of a New Lender to comply with this Section 5.8.6(e).

(f) Value Added Tax.

(i) All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to clause (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any party under a Loan Document, that party shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse 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 VAT; the Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(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. The Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(B) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

228

(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense incurred in connection with such Loan Document, the reimbursement or indemnity (as the case may be) shall be for the full amount of cost or expense including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 5.8.6 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 representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Belgium Value Added Tax Code).

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

(vi) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.8.6(f), a reference to “determines” or “determined” in connection with tax provisions contained in Section 5.8.6 means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination, acting reasonably.

5.8.7 Dutch Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 5.8 (other than this Section 5.8.7) shall not apply, and instead the provisions of this Section 5.8.7 shall apply to any advance under any Loan Document to any Dutch Borrower.

(a) Definitions. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.8.7, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Qualifying Lender” means a Lender which is beneficially entitled (in the case of a Treaty Lender, within the meaning of the relevant Treaty) to interest payable by a Dutch Borrower to that Lender in respect of an advance under a Loan Document and is:

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

(A) confirm to that other Party whether it is a FATCA Exempt Party or not a FATCA Exempt Party;

244

(A) any law or regulation;

(B) any fiduciary duty; or

(i) FATCA Deduction

(j) 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 notify the Agent and the Agent shall notify the other Credit Parties.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.8.9, a reference to “determines” or “determined” in connection with tax provisions contained in Section 5.8.9 means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination, acting reasonably.

5.8.10 Norway Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 5.8 (other than this Section 5.8.10) shall not apply, and instead the provisions this Section 5.8.10 shall apply, to any advance under any Loan Document to any Norwegian Borrower.

(a) Definitions. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.8.10, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“FATCA Deduction” means a deduction or withholding from a payment under a Loan Document required by FATCA.

“Party” means a party to this Agreement.

“Protected Party” means a Credit Party and each Security Trustee which is or will be subject to any liability, or required to make any payment, for or on account of Taxes in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Taxes to be received or receivable) under a Loan Document.

“Tax Credit” means a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Taxes.

“Tax Deduction” means a deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes from a payment under a Loan Document, other than a FATCA Deduction.

245

“Tax Payment” means either the increase in a payment made by a Norwegian Borrower to a Credit Party or a Security Trustee under Clause 5.8.10(b) (Tax gross-up) or a payment under Clause 5.8.10(c) (Tax indemnity).

Unless a contrary indication appears, in this Section 5.8.10 a reference to “determines” or “determined” means, in the absence of manifest error, a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination.

(b) Tax gross-up.

(i) Each Norwegian Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it under any Loan Document without any Tax Deduction, unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(ii) Each Norwegian Borrower shall, promptly upon becoming aware that that Norwegian Borrower must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction), notify the Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender and each Security Trustee shall notify the Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender or that Security Trustee. If the Agent receives such notification from a Lender or a Security Trustee, it shall notify MRC Global and that Norwegian Borrower.

(iii) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by a Norwegian Borrower, the amount of the payment due from that Norwegian Borrower will be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(iv) If a Norwegian Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Norwegian Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(v) Within thirty (30) days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Norwegian Borrower making that Tax Deduction or payment shall deliver to the Agent for the Credit Party or Security Trustee entitled to the payment evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Credit Party or Security Trustee that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

(i) Each Norwegian Borrower shall (within three (3) Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Protected Party an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Protected Party determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Taxes by that Protected Party in respect of a Loan Document to which that Norwegian Borrower is a party.

(ii) Paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

(A) with respect to any Taxes assessed on a Credit Party or Security Trustee;

246

(1) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Credit Party or Security Trustee is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which that Credit Party or Security Trustee is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(2) under the law of the jurisdiction in which that Credit Party’s or Security Trustee’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction,

if those Taxes are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by that Credit Party or Security Trustee; or

(B) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(1) is compensated for by any increased payment under Section 5.8.10(b) (Tax gross-up); or

(2) relate to a FATCA Deduction required to be made by a Party.

(iii) A Protected Party making, or intending to make, a claim under paragraph (a) above shall promptly notify the Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Agent must notify the Norwegian Borrower.

(iv) A Protected Party shall, on receiving a payment from a Norwegian Borrower under this Section 5.8.10(c), notify the Agent.

(d) Tax Credit. If a Norwegian Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Credit Party or Security Trustee determines that:

(i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(ii) that Credit Party or Security Trustee has obtained, utilized and retained a Tax Credit,

then that Credit Party or Security Trustee must pay an amount to the Norwegian Borrower which that Credit Party or Security Trustee determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Norwegian Borrower.

(e) Stamp taxes. Each Norwegian Borrower shall pay and, within three (3) Business Days of demand, indemnify each Credit Party or Security Trustee (as relevant) against any cost, loss or liability that Credit Party or Security Trustee incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document to which that Norwegian Borrower is a party.

(f) VAT.

247

(i) All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any Party under a Loan Document to a Credit Party or Security Trustee which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is or becomes chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party or Security Trustee to any Party under a Loan Document and that Credit Party or Security Trustee is required to account for the VAT, that Party shall pay to the Credit Party or Security Trustee (as relevant) (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Credit Party or Security Trustee shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party).

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Credit Party or Security Trustee (the “Supplier”) to any other Credit Party or Security Trustee (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the 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 a Loan Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Credit Party or Security Trustee for any cost or expense, that Party shall also at the same time reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Credit Party or Security Trustee for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Credit Party or Security Trustee reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 5.8.10(f) 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 relevant member of such VAT group at such time (the term VAT group shall for this purpose have the meanings as set out in section 2-2 of the Norwegian Value Added Tax Act of 19 June 1999 no. 58).

5.9 Lender Tax Information.

For purposes of this Section 5.9, the term “Lender” includes any Fronting Bank.

5.9.1 Generally. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a relevant Loan Party is resident for tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to Agent and the relevant Loan Party Agent, at the time or times prescribed by

248

Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or the relevant Loan Party Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation or such other evidence as prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition and only to the extent applicable, any Lender, if requested by Agent or a Loan Party Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or such Loan Party Agent as will enable Agent and such Loan Party Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

5.9.2 U.S. Borrowers. If a Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Agent and North American Loan Party Agent IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or North American Loan Party Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to information reporting requirements and to establish that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding. If any Foreign Lender is entitled to any exemption from or reduction of U.S. withholding tax for payments with respect to the U.S. Facility Obligations, it shall deliver to Agent and North American Loan Party Agent, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a U.S. Lender or U.S. Fronting Bank hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon request by Agent or North American Loan Party Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so) two original executed copies of, (a) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (b) IRS Form W-8ECI; (c) IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation (including, a certificate in the form of Exhibit J-2 (a “Non-Bank Certificate”) applicable to a partnership, if applicable); (d) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or section 881(c) of the Code, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E and a Non-Bank Certificate in the form of Exhibit J-1 or Exhibit J-2, as applicable; and/or (e) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. withholding tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be necessary to allow Agent and U.S. Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

5.9.3 Lender Obligations. Each Lender shall promptly notify the relevant Loan Party Agent and Agent of any change in circumstances that would change any claimed Tax exemption or reduction. Each Lender, severally and not jointly with any other Lender, shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) affected Borrowers of the Borrower Group to which such Lender has issued a Commitment and Agent for any Taxes, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges or one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) incurred by or asserted against such affected Borrower of such Borrower Group or Agent by any Governmental Authority due to such Lender’s failure to deliver, or inaccuracy or deficiency in, any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 5.8 or this Section 5.9. Each Lender authorizes Agent to set off any amounts due to Agent under this Section against any amounts payable to such Lender under any Loan Document. If a payment made to Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations under such sections, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.9.3, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

249

5.10 Guarantees.

5.10.1 Joint and Several Liability of U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Secured Obligations and all agreements of each other Loan Party under the Credit Documents. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party agrees that its guarantee obligations as a Guarantor of the Secured Obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such guarantee obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Secured Obligations, and that such guarantee obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Secured Obligations or Credit Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.10) or any other Credit Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any other Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guarantee); (d) the insolvency of any Loan Party; (e) any election by Agent or any other Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any other Secured Party against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Secured Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Secured Obligations.

5.10.2 Waivers by U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party hereby expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or the other Secured Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Secured Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Secured Obligations. It is agreed among each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, Agent and the other Secured Parties that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent, Fronting Banks and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Agent and the other Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon the Collateral of the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any other Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party consents to such action and, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party might otherwise have had. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or

250

any other Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall not impair any other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Agent may bid all or a portion of the Secured Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral of the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Secured Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Secured Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.10, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any other Secured Party might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

5.10.3 Extent of Liability of U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties; Contribution.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s liability under this Section 5.10 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party makes a payment under this Section 5.10 of any Secured Obligations (other than amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, exceeds the amount that such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party had paid the aggregate Secured Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, then such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party under this Section 5.10 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall limit the liability of any Loan Party to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Loan Party (including Loans advanced to any other Loan Party and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Loan Party), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Loan Party’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Secured Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Loan Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

(d) Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each

251

case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.10.3(d) voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Secured Obligations. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

5.10.4 Joint and Several Liability of Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally (i) guarantees to Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations and all agreements of each other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party under the Credit Documents (but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations other than Foreign Facility Secured Obligations to the extent constituting U.S. Facility Secured Obligations (including Canadian Facility Secured Obligations which are guaranteed under this Section 5.10.4)) (the “Foreign Cross-Guarantee”) and (ii) undertakes that, if an Ipso Facto Event has occurred, then immediately on demand, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party shall pay to Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties all unpaid principal and interest on each Note issued by, all Loans made to, and Letters of Credit issued on behalf of (including Cash Collateralizing the stated amount of all such outstanding Letters of Credit and paying to each Fronting Bank the amount of all other LC Obligations to such Fronting Bank), the Foreign Borrowers under this Agreement, together with all other Foreign Facility Secured Obligations and amounts accrued or outstanding under the Credit Documents which are payable by a Foreign Domiciled Loan Party and shall be jointly and severally liable for such amounts as if it was the principal obligor. Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party agrees that its guarantee obligations as a Guarantor of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations of other Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties hereunder constitute a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such guarantee obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations, and that such guarantee obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Foreign Facility Secured Obligations or Credit Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.10) or any other Credit Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect, register, stamp or terminate a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release, variation or discharge (except upon Full Payment of all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations) of any security or guarantee of, or the release of, any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person (other than a release of such Foreign Domiciled Loan Party) whether under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person or otherwise); (iv) the insolvency of any Loan Party or any Insolvency Proceeding in relation to any Loan Party; (v) any election by Agent or any other Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law); (vi) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law) or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any other Secured Party against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Secured Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law) or otherwise; (viii) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of, or dissolution or change in the members or status of, any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person; or (ix) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations.

252

(b) Without prejudice to the generality of Section 5.10.4(a) above, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party expressly confirms that it intends that the guarantee created by this Section 5.10.4 shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Credit Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Credit Documents for the purposes of or in connection with (i) acquisitions of any nature; (ii) increasing working capital; (iii) enabling investor distributions to be made; (iv) carrying out restructurings; (v) refinancing existing credit facilities; (vi) refinancing any other Indebtedness; (vii) making credit available to new Borrowers; (viii) any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and (ix) any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

5.10.5 Waivers by Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party hereby expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Foreign Facility Secured Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations. It is agreed among each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party, Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent, Fronting Banks and Lenders (as applicable) would decline to make further Loans and issue further Letters of Credit to Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties. Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business and those of its direct or indirect holding companies, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon the Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party consents to such action and, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party might otherwise have had. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party shall not impair any other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Foreign Domiciled Loan Party’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Agent may bid all or a portion of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale or sale as a result of an enforcement action, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.10, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

253

5.10.6 Joint and Several Liability of Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each Canadian Domiciled Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and the Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations and all agreements of each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party and Canadian Domiciled Loan Party under the Credit Documents (the “Canadian Cross-Guarantee”). Each Canadian Domiciled Loan Party agrees that its guarantee obligations as a Guarantor of the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations of U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties and Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties hereunder constitute a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such guarantee obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations, and that such guarantee obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations, Canadian Facility Secured Obligations or Credit Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.10) or any other Credit Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect, register, stamp or terminate a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations or Canadian Facility Secured Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any other Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release, variation or discharge (except upon Full Payment of all U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations) of any security or guarantee of, or the release of, any U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or any other Person (other than a release of such Loan Party) whether under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, Canadian Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person or otherwise); (iv) the insolvency of any Loan Party or any Insolvency Proceeding in relation to any Loan Party; (v) any election by Agent or any other Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law); (vi) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law) or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any other Secured Party against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Secured Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law) or otherwise; (viii) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of, or dissolution or change in the members or status of, any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, Canadian Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person; or (ix) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations.

254

(b) Without prejudice to the generality of Section 5.10.6(a) above, each Canadian Domiciled Loan Party expressly confirms that it intends that the guarantee created by this Section 5.10.6 shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Credit Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Credit Documents for the purposes of or in connection with (i) acquisitions of any nature; (ii) increasing working capital; (iii) enabling investor distributions to be made; (iv) carrying out restructurings; (v) refinancing existing credit facilities; (vi) refinancing any other Indebtedness; (vii) making credit available to new Borrowers; (viii) any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and (ix) any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

5.10.7 Waivers by Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each Canadian Domiciled Loan Party hereby expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or the other Secured Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Secured Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Canadian Domiciled Loan Party waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations. It is agreed among each Canadian Domiciled Loan Party, Agent and the other Secured Parties that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent, Fronting Banks and Lenders (as applicable) would decline to make further Loans and issue further Letters of Credit to Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties. Each Canadian Domiciled Loan Party acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business and those of its direct or indirect holding companies, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Agent and the other Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon the Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any other Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Canadian Domiciled Loan Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Canadian Domiciled Loan Party consents to such action and, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Canadian Domiciled Loan Party might otherwise have had. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any other Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any Canadian Domiciled Loan Party shall not impair any other Canadian Domiciled Loan Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each Canadian Domiciled Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Canadian Domiciled Loan Party’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Agent may bid all or a portion of the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale or sale as a result of an enforcement action, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the U.S. Facility Secured Obligations and Canadian Facility Secured Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.10, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any other Secured Party might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

255

5.10.8 Belgian Limitations.

(a) The total liability under this Section 5.10 of any Belgian Domiciled Loan Party for the obligations of any other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party under the Credit Documents, shall at all times be limited to an aggregate amount (without double counting) not exceeding the sum of:

(i) the aggregate of all principal amounts made available to such Belgian Domiciled Loan Party or its direct or indirect Subsidiaries under any intra group arrangement (regardless of the form thereof, including through the subscription of debt instrument) that have been financed, directly or indirectly, by a borrowing under this Agreement (without any reduction for any repayment thereof); plus

(ii) seventy per cent (70%) of such Belgian Domiciled Loan Party’s net assets, at the time a demand for payment under this Section 5.10 is made.

The result of the calculation as described in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall in relation to any relevant Belgian Domiciled Loan Party be referred to as the “Guaranteed Belgian Amount”.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, no limitation shall apply to the liability of any Belgian Domiciled Loan Party for any amounts owed by its direct or indirect Subsidiaries under the Credit Documents and the Belgian Domiciled Loan Party shall be liable for such amounts in full.

(c) Each Belgian Domiciled Loan Party shall provide Agent with an update on the relevant Guaranteed Belgian Amount upon the request of Agent, with such information as Agent may reasonably require, it being understood that the net assets as specified under clause (a)(ii) above may be derived from the latest audited financial statements of the respective Belgian Domiciled Loan Party. In the event of a dispute regarding the Guaranteed Belgian Amount, a certificate stating such amount from the statutory auditors of such Belgian Domiciled Loan Party (or, if there is no statutory auditor for such Belgian Domiciled Loan Party, an independent accounting firm of international reputation appointed by Agent in its sole discretion) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

For the purposes of this Section 5.10.8: “net assets” means, in relation to a Belgian Domiciled Loan Party, netto actief / actif net as defined in Article 5:142 or 7:212 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations, as the case may be, and the Accounting Principles.

5.10.9 Singapore Limitations. With respect to the liability of a Singapore Domiciled Loan Party under its Foreign Cross-Guarantee, such Foreign Cross-Guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the Foreign Cross-Guarantee from such Singapore Domiciled Loan Party constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 76 of the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore.

5.10.10 UK Limitations. With respect to the liability of a UK Domiciled Loan Party under its Foreign Cross-Guarantee, such Foreign Cross-Guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the Foreign Cross-Guarantee from such UK Domiciled Loan Party constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006.

256

5.10.11 Norwegian Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the liability (including any guarantee, undertaking, obligation, indemnity and payment (including distributions, cash-sweeps, credits, loans and set-offs)) of a Norwegian Domiciled Loan Party under its Foreign Cross-Guarantee and under any other provision of any Loan Document shall be limited by such mandatory provisions of Norwegian law applicable to each Norwegian Domiciled Loan Party or any of them limiting its or their legal capacity or ability to grant any guarantee, security or other financial assistance (including, but not limited to, the provisions of Sections 8-7 and 8-10 of the Norwegian Companies Act). If and to the extent applicable, the provisions of (and/or principles derived from) the Norwegian Financial Contracts Act of 18 December 2020 no. 146 (Nw. finansavtaleloven) and any related regulations (to the extent not mandatory provisions) shall not apply to any of the Loan Documents and all rights of a Norwegian Domiciled Loan Party under such provisions are hereby waived. The liability of a Norwegian Domiciled Loan Party under its Foreign Cross-Guarantee shall be limited to a maximum amount of USD 120,000,000 (as such amount may be increased from time to time in writing among the Agent and the Norwegian Borrowers) plus interest and costs.

5.10.12 Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Agent, Fronting Banks and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers and Guarantors make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise so that Borrowers and Guarantors share an identity of interests such that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the others. Borrowers and Guarantors render services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and/or Guarantors, as the case may be, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and Guarantors (including, inter alia, the payment by Borrowers and Guarantors of creditors of the other Borrowers or Guarantors and guarantees by Borrowers and Guarantors of indebtedness of the other Borrowers and Guarantors and provide administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and Guarantors). Borrowers and Guarantors have centralized accounting and legal services, certain common officers and directors and generally do not provide consolidating financial statements to creditors. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Agent’s, Fronting Banks’ and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

5.10.13 Subordination. Each Loan Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Secured Obligations.

5.11 Currency Matters. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from Borrowers hereunder unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise agreed to by Agent; provided, that

(a) each repayment of a Revolver Loan, LC Obligation or a part thereof shall be made in the currency in which such Revolver Loan or LC Obligation is denominated at the time of that repayment;

(b) each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the principal or other sum in respect of which such interest is denominated;

(c) (i) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(i) shall be in Dollars, (ii) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(a) shall be in Dollars or Australian Dollars, (iii) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b) or (d) shall be in Dollars or Euros, (iv) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(e) shall be in Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, (v) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(f) shall be in Dollars or Norwegian Kroner, (vi) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(g) shall be in Dollars, and (vii) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(h) shall be in Dollars or Sterling, which payment currency in the case of clauses (ii) through (vii) above shall be at the option of the Applicable Foreign Borrowers of the relevant Borrower Group and, in the case of the Norwegian Borrowers, at the option of the European Loan Party Agent, with the amount of any such payment made in a currency other than Dollars determined by the Agent based on the Exchange Rate;

257

(d) each payment of fees pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 through 3.2.10 (other than Section 3.2.10(a) which shall be paid in Dollars) shall be in the currency of the underlying Letter of Credit; and

(e) each payment in respect of Extraordinary Expenses and any other costs, expenses and indemnities shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred by the party to whom payment is to be made.

No payment to any Credit Party or any Security Trustee (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Loan Party in respect of which it was made unless and until such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall have received Full Payment in the currency in which such obligation or liability is payable pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 5.11. Agent has the right, at the expense of the applicable Loan Party, to convert any payment made in an incorrect currency into the applicable currency required under this Agreement. To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of such obligation or liability actual or contingent expressed in that currency, such Loan Party (together with the other Loan Parties within its Loan Party Group or other obligors pursuant to any Guarantee of the Obligations of such Loan Party Group) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Credit Party or such Security Trustee, with respect to the amount of the shortfall with respect to amounts payable by such Loan Party hereunder, with such indemnity surviving the termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in the shortfall. To the extent that the amount of any such payment to a Credit Party or a Security Trustee shall, upon an actual conversion into such currency, exceed such obligation or liability, actual or contingent, expressed in that currency, such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall return such excess to the members of the affected Borrower Group.

No Australian Domiciled Loan Party or other Person claiming through or on behalf of any Australian Domiciled Loan Party shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of all Australian Facility Secured Obligations. No Belgian Domiciled Loan Party or other Person claiming through or on behalf of any Belgian Domiciled Loan Party shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of all Belgian Facility Secured Obligations.

7.3 Other Collateral.

7.3.1 Commercial Tort Claims. North American Loan Party Agent shall, within 10 days of a Senior Officer becoming aware thereof, notify Agent in writing if any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Commercial Tort Claims reasonably expected to result in awarded damages (net of anticipated legal expenses relating thereto) of less than $5,000,000 in aggregate) and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to confer upon Agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) a duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such claim.

7.3.2 Certain After-Acquired Collateral. If any assets are acquired by any Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Documents that become subject to the perfected or valid Lien of the Security Documents upon acquisition thereof) that are of the nature secured by the Security Documents, the applicable Loan Party Agent will notify the Agent, and, if requested by the Agent, such Loan Party will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the applicable Secured Obligations and will take, and cause the other Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to grant and perfect such Liens consistent with the applicable requirements of the Security Documents, including actions described in Section 7.6, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, a Loan Party Agent shall notify Agent in writing within 30 days if, after the Closing Date, any Loan Party (except, in the case of clauses (b) through (e), to the extent such assets are not of a type intended to be secured by the Security Documents of the relevant Loan Party Group) obtains any interest in any Property consisting of (a) Deposit Accounts other than Excluded Deposit Accounts, (b) Chattel Paper, (c) negotiable Documents, (d) promissory notes and other Instruments (other than checks) or (e) Investment Property consisting of any Securities Account and, upon Agent’s reasonable request, shall promptly take such actions as Agent or its Security Trustee reasonably deems appropriate to effect a duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral (so long as it does not constitute Term Priority Lien Collateral), including obtaining any appropriate possession, control agreement or lien waiver (it being understood that there shall be no requirement to obtain lien waivers not obtainable with commercially reasonable efforts), as appropriate and/or executing such additional Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by Agent or a Security Trustee. If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Agent’s request, the applicable Loan Party having rights in such Collateral shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement in favor of the Agent and the applicable Security Trustee in each case to the extent the Cost of Inventory held by such third person exceeds the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 and (ii) five percent (5%) of the Borrower Group Commitments of the applicable Borrower Group.

7.4 Limitation on Permitted Discretion.

(a) The Agent shall have the right to establish, modify or eliminate Reserves against Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory from time to time in its Permitted Discretion. In addition, the Agent reserves the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to adjust any of the applicable criteria, to establish new criteria and to adjust advance rates with respect to Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory, in its Permitted Discretion, subject to Section 14.1.1.

264

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies arising prior to the Closing Date and disclosed to the Agent prior to the Closing Date shall not be the basis for any establishment or modification of Reserves, eligibility criteria or advance rates unless (i) in the case of Reserves and eligibility criteria, such Reserves or eligibility criteria were established on the Closing Date or (ii) such circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies shall have changed in any material respect since the Closing Date.

(c) Any exercise of Permitted Discretion with respect to Reserves shall be based on a good faith reasonable determination of the Agent that (i) the circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies giving rise thereto will or reasonably could be expected to adversely affect a material portion of the value of the Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory in any Borrowing Base, the enforceability or priority of the Agent’s or a Security Trustee’s Liens thereon or the amount the Secured Parties would likely receive in the liquidation of any material portion of Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory in any Borrowing Base and (ii) the proposed action to be taken by the Agent to mitigate the effects described in clause (i) (including the amount of any Reserves) bears a reasonable relationship to the circumstance, condition, event or other contingency that is the basis therefor.

(d) Upon delivery of notice to a Loan Party Agent by the Agent of its intent to establish or increase Reserves, the Agent shall be available to discuss the proposed Reserves or increase, and Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the circumstance, condition, event or other contingency that is the basis for such Reserves or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Agent to establish or change such Reserves, unless the Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the circumstance, condition, event or other contingency that is the basis for such new Reserves or such change no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by Borrowers.

(e) This Section 7.4 shall not apply to the Term Loan Maturity Reserve or Bank Product Reserves for Qualified Secured Bank Product Obligations which may be established and modified in accordance with the definitions therefor.

7.5 No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Loan Parties relating to any Collateral.

7.6 Further Assurances. Each Loan Party will promptly execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements, title certificates, assignments and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents), which may be required under any Applicable Law, or which the Agent, any Security Trustee or the Required Borrower Group Lenders may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

7.7 Limitations. In no event shall the grant of any Lien under any Loan Document secure an Excluded Swap Obligation of the granting Loan Party.

265

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

8.1 Administration of Accounts.

8.1.1 Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Loan Party shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to Agent sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent in accordance with Section 10.1.1(g). If the collectability of Accounts of all Borrowers in an aggregate face amount exceeding $10,000,000 is impaired, then a Loan Party Agent shall notify Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after any Loan Party has knowledge thereof.

8.1.2 Taxes. If an Account of any Loan Party includes a charge for any Taxes, Agent is authorized, in its discretion, if the applicable Loan Party has not paid such Taxes when due, to pay the amount thereof to the proper Governmental Authority for the account of such Loan Party and to charge the Loan Parties therefor; provided, that neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from the Loan Parties or with respect to any Collateral.

8.1.3 Account Verification. During a Default, Event of Default or Cash Dominion Event, Agent shall have the right, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any Loan Party, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of the Loan Parties by mail, telephone or otherwise. Loan Parties shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

8.1.4 Maintenance of Dominion Accounts. Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to Agent. Borrowers shall obtain a Deposit Account Control Agreement from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Agent’s (or a Security Trustee’s) control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account and waiving offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges. Dominion Accounts for Belgian Borrowers and Dutch Borrowers must be maintained exclusively at Bank of America. Dominion Accounts for Australian Borrowers, New Zealand Borrowers, Singapore Borrowers and UK Borrowers must be maintained exclusively at Bank of America and shall be under the sole dominion and exclusive control of Agent (or its Security Trustee) whether or not a Cash Dominion Event exists; provided, that collected funds will be disbursed from such Dominion Accounts in the discretion of Agent. If a Dominion Account for Canadian Borrowers, Norwegian Borrowers or U.S. Borrowers is not maintained with Bank of America, Agent may, during the existence of any Cash Dominion Event, require immediate transfer of all cash receipts in such account to a Dominion Account maintained with Bank of America. Agent, Security Trustees and Lenders assume no responsibility to Loan Parties for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank. With respect to Belgian Borrowers, Canadian Borrowers, Dutch Borrowers, Norwegian Borrowers and U.S. Borrowers, Agent (or a Security Trustee) may exercise sole dominion and exclusive control over Dominion Accounts and other Deposit Accounts subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement during a Cash Dominion Event.

8.1.5 Proceeds of Collateral. Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take all necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account). If any Borrower receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold same in trust for Agent and the Security Trustees and within one (1) Business Day deposit same into a Dominion Account. Restricted Subsidiaries domiciled outside of the U.S. may participate in cash pooling arrangements that are structured and documented in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Security Trustees; provided, that (i) collections of Foreign Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers must be (A) separated from disbursements and (B) segregated from collections of other Subsidiaries that are not Foreign Borrowers or Canadian Borrowers and (ii) during a Cash Dominion Event, Agent and Security Trustees may cease the transfer of funds from the Foreign Borrowers’ and Canadian Borrowers’ collection accounts to any pooled disbursement accounts.

266

8.2 Administration of Inventory.

8.2.1 Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Loan Party shall keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and additions, and shall submit to Agent inventory and reconciliation reports (which reports shall set forth the Inventory information by location) in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent in accordance with Section 10.1.1(g).

8.2.2 Returns of Inventory. No Loan Party shall return any Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless (a) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) no Default, Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result therefrom; (c) Agent is promptly notified if the aggregate value of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds $35,000,000 in the aggregate for all Borrowers; and (d) any payment received by a Loan Party for a return is promptly remitted to Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5 or 5.6, as applicable.

8.2.3 Storage and Maintenance. Loan Parties shall use, store and maintain all Inventory with reasonable care and caution, in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity in all material respects with all Applicable Law, including the FLSA, if applicable, and shall make current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in leases) at all locations where any Collateral is located.

8.3 Administration of Deposit Accounts. Schedule 8.3 sets forth all Deposit Accounts maintained by Borrowers as of the date hereof, including all Dominion Accounts. Each Loan Party shall take all actions necessary to establish Agent’s (or its Security Trustee’s) control of each Deposit Account through a Deposit Account Control Agreement (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts). For Deposit Accounts held in Norway, “control” means for the purpose of this Section 8.3 that a notice and acknowledgment is in place with the account bank and that the account holder may freely dispose over the amounts standing to the credit of the Deposit Account until instructions are received by the account bank from Agent under such notice and acknowledgment following which the account bank shall only act at the discretion of Agent. A Loan Party shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than Agent or a Security Trustee) to have control over a Deposit Account or any Property deposited therein. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a U.S. Domiciled Loan Party may establish a deposit account that does not contain proceeds of Loans, Inventory, Accounts or Specified Revolving Credit Collateral, which deposit account shall be (a) identified as such in writing to the Agent and (b) solely for the deposit of proceeds from the sale of Term Priority Lien Collateral pending final application thereof to the Term Loans (such account, the “Net Available Cash Account”). A Loan Party Agent shall promptly notify Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account and will amend Schedule 8.3 to reflect same.

8.4 General Provisions.

8.4.1 Location of Collateral. (a) All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept by Loan Parties at the Borrowers’ business locations set forth in Schedule 8.4.1 (with such updates thereto as Agent may agree to accept from time to time, including updates provided under the Existing Loan Agreement), except that Loan Parties may (i) make sales or other dispositions of Collateral in accordance with Section 10.2.4; (ii) in the case of any U.S. Domiciled Loan

267

Party, move Collateral to another location in the United States; (iii) in the case of any UK Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in the United Kingdom; (iv) in the case of a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Canada set forth on Schedule 8.4.1 or, (1) upon 15 Business Days prior written notice to Agent, and (2) so long as all actions shall have been taken prior to such move to ensure that the Agent has a perfected first priority security interest in and Lien on such Collateral, any other location in Canada; (v) in the case of any Australian Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Australia; (vi) in the case of any Belgian Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Belgium; (vii) in the case of any Dutch Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in the Netherlands; (viii) in the case of any New Zealand Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in New Zealand; (ix) in the case of any Norwegian Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Norway; and (x) in the case of any Singapore Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Singapore.

(b) Each Loan Party shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering casualty, hazard, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks, in amounts, with endorsements and with insurers (having a Best’s Financial Strength Rating of at least A-VII, unless otherwise approved by Agent) as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent. From time to time upon request, Loan Parties shall deliver to Agent the originals or certified copies of their insurance policies. Unless Agent shall agree otherwise (giving due consideration to what is commercially available in the insurance market for the applicable jurisdiction), each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent (or its Security Trustee) as additional insured and lender’s loss payee, as appropriate; (ii) requiring at least 10 days’ prior written notice to Agent (or such shorter period as agreed to by Agent) in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Loan Party or the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy. If any Loan Party fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge such Loan Party therefor. Each Loan Party agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly upon the request of Agent, copies of all reports made to insurance companies. While no Event of Default exists, Loan Parties may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered to Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

8.4.2 Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral of a Loan Party Group, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral of a Loan Party Group (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Agent or a Security Trustee to any Person to realize upon any Collateral of a Loan Party Group, shall be borne and paid by Loan Parties of such Loan Party Group. Neither Agent nor any Security Trustee shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Agent’s or such Security Trustee’s actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Loan Parties’ sole risk.

8.4.3 Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Loan Party shall at all times defend its title to Collateral and Agent’s or Security Trustees’ Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands whatsoever, except Permitted Liens.

8.5 Power of Attorney. Each of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties and U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact), coupled with an interest, for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or a Loan Party’s name, but at the cost and expense of such Loan Parties within such Loan Party’s Loan Party Group:

268

(a) Endorse a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party’s or a U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into Agent’s possession or control; and

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) notify any Account Debtors of a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party or a U.S. Domiciled Loan Party of the assignment of their Accounts, demand and enforce payment of such Accounts by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise any rights and remedies with respect to such Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, modify, compromise, discharge or release any Accounts or other Collateral of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, or any legal proceedings brought to collect Accounts or Collateral of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties; (iii) sell or assign any Accounts and other Collateral of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties upon such terms, for such amounts and at such times as Agent deems advisable; (iv) collect, liquidate and receive balances in Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, and take control, in any manner, of proceeds of Collateral of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties; (v) prepare, file and sign a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party’s or a U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s name to a proof of claim or other document in a bankruptcy of an Account Debtor, or to any notice, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document; (vi) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party or a U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, and notify postal authorities to deliver any such mail to an address designated by Agent; (vii) endorse any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, bill of lading, or other document or agreement relating to any Accounts, Inventory or other Collateral of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties; (viii) use a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party’s or a U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s stationery and sign its name to verifications of Accounts and notices to Account Debtors of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties; (ix) use information contained in any data processing, electronic or information systems relating to Collateral of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties; (x) make and adjust claims under insurance policies of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties or the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties; (xi) take any action as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain payment under any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or other instrument for which a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party or a U.S. Domiciled Loan Party is a beneficiary; and (xii) take all other actions as Agent reasonably deems appropriate to fulfill any Canadian Domiciled Loan Party’s or U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

8.6 Eligible Pledged Cash Accounts. The Canadian Borrowers and the U.S. Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, deposit cash and cash equivalents acceptable to the Agent into the applicable Eligible Pledged Cash Account in an amount not less than $1,000,000, provided that with respect to each deposit, the North American Loan Party Agent shall have delivered to the Agent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the increase in the Canadian Borrowing Base or the U.S. Borrowing Base, as applicable, attributable solely to the increase in the Eligible Pledged Cash resulting from such deposit (and the U.S./Canadian Borrowing Base then in effect shall, until the next redetermination thereof in accordance with this Agreement, be determined on the basis of such Borrowing Base Certificate). The Agent shall have exclusive control over withdrawals from any Eligible Pledged Cash Account, provided that the Canadian Borrowers and the U.S. Borrowers may, upon not less than two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent by the North American Loan Party Agent, withdraw Eligible Pledged Cash from the applicable Eligible Pledged Cash Account if (i) no Default or Event of Default exists immediately prior to such withdrawal or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such withdrawal (and the corresponding reduction of the U.S./Canadian Borrowing Base), no Overadvance shall result therefrom and (iii) the North American Loan Party Agent shall have delivered to the Agent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the reduction in the Canadian Borrowing Base or the U.S. Borrowing Base, as applicable, attributable solely to the reduction in the Eligible Pledged Cash resulting from such withdrawal (and the U.S./Canadian Borrowing Base then in effect shall, until the next redetermination thereof in accordance with this Agreement, be determined on the basis of such Borrowing Base Certificate).

Except as could not reasonably be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to Material Adverse Effect (it being acknowledged that, for purposes of this Section 9.1.11(b), funding deficiencies, other benefit liabilities and events, conditions and circumstances that could give rise to liabilities, as such deficiencies, liabilities and circumstances exist as of the Closing Date, to the extent that they remain applicable at the relevant determination date, and any future obligations arising therefrom shall be included or considered in the determination of whether as of any date a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, exists or could reasonably be expected to occur):

The covenants contained in this Section 11.5 shall survive the Full Payment of the Obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 12. AGENT AND SECURITY TRUSTEES

(a) Each Secured Party appoints and designates Bank of America as the Agent under all Loan Documents. The Agent may, and each Secured Party authorizes the Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which the Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for the Agent’s benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Secured Party agrees that any action taken by the Agent, Required Borrower Group Lenders or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, together with the Security Trustees, as applicable, shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (ii) execute and deliver as the Agent each Loan Document, including the Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor or subordination agreement (or joinder thereto), and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party or other Person; (iii) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (iv) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; (v) enter into documentation to effectuate Permitted Supply Chain Financing Programs and (vi) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise.

The Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or to issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate the Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.

307

(b) Without limiting the powers of the Agent, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted to the Attorney (as defined below) pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure the prompt payment and performance of any and all Obligations by any Loan Party, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the creditors as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code (in such capacity, the “Attorney”), and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any related deed of hypothec. The Attorney shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable law, and (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Parties and Loan Parties. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Attorney as the person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity. The substitution of the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 also constitutes the substitution of the Attorney.

12.1.2 Duties. The Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. The conferral upon the Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

12.1.3 Agent Professionals. The Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. The Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional.

The Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders or Required Borrower Group Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders or Required Borrower Group Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 14.1.1. In no event shall the Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

Notwithstanding clause (f) above, no Loan Party may pay any Parallel Debt Obligation other than at the instruction of, and in the manner determined by, the European Security Trustee.

The European Secured Parties shall promptly enter into any agreements that the successor may reasonably require to effect its appointment.

312

12.2.16 Discharge of European Security Trustee.

To the extent that the Loan Parties do not do so on demand or are not obliged to do so, each Australian Facility Secured Party must on demand indemnify the AUS-NZ Security Trustee against any Claims sustained or incurred by the AUS-NZ Security Trustee in (a) complying with any instructions from the Agent or the Australian Facility Secured Parties; (b) otherwise sustained or incurred by it in connection with the Loan Documents or its duties, obligations and responsibilities under the Loan Documents; or (c) as a result of appointing a receiver or manager under any of the Australian Facility Collateral, except to the extent that the Claim is sustained or incurred as a result of the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the AUS-NZ Security Trustee or any of its representatives. When there are no Australian Facility Secured Obligations (including, anything that is reasonably foreseeable as falling within the definition of Australian Facility Secured Obligations) in relation to an Australian Facility Secured Party and the relevant Australian Facility Secured Party is not committed or obliged to make advances or provide any other financial accommodation to the Australian Domiciled Loan Parties, the relevant Australian Facility Secured Party ceases to be an Australian Facility Secured Party on notice in writing to that effect from the Agent and the AUS-NZ Security Trustee.

317

12.3.28 Australian Facility Secured Party Notice to Cease. An Australian Facility Secured Party may, by notice to that effect to the AUS-NZ Security Trustee, cease to be an Australian Facility Secured Party.

12.3.29 Waiver and Exercise of Rights: The AUS-NZ Security Trustee’s failure or delay to exercise a power or right does not operate as a waiver of that power or right and the exercise of a power or right does not preclude either its exercise in the future or the exercise of any other power or right. A waiver is not effective unless it is in writing and waiver of a power or right is effective only in respect of the specific instance to which it relates and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

12.4.3 Reports. The Agent shall promptly forward to each Applicable Lender, when complete, copies of any field audit, examination or appraisal report prepared by or for the Agent with respect to any Loan Party or Collateral (“Report”). Each Lender agrees (a) that neither Bank of America nor the Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that the Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon the applicable Loan Parties’ books and records as well as upon representations of the applicable Loan Parties’ officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of the Agent furnishing a Report to such Lender.

12.5 Reliance By Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent Professionals. The Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any delay in acting.

12.6 Action Upon Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a Loan Party Agent, Required Lenders or Required Borrower Group Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or of such conditions, it shall promptly notify the Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Secured Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Credit Documents or with the written consent of the Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations), or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC or PPSA sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral or to assert any rights relating to any Collateral. The Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties, shall have the right to credit bid and purchase for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties all or any portion of Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by the Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof, or a sale under a plan of reorganization, or at any

321

other sale or foreclosure conducted by the Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with Applicable Law. Such credit bid or purchase may be completed through one or more acquisition vehicles formed by the Agent to make such credit bid or purchase and, in connection therewith, the Agent is authorized, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles, and assign the applicable Secured Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle in exchange for Stock and/or debt issued by the applicable acquisition vehicle (which shall be deemed to be held for the ratable account of the applicable Secured Parties on the basis of the Secured Obligations so assigned by each Secured Party).

12.7 Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Secured Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Secured Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5.1, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the Agent, any Fronting Bank and the other Applicable Lenders such participations in the affected Secured Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5.1, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Secured Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the amount thereof to the Agent for application under Section 4.2 and it shall provide a written statement to the Agent describing the Secured Obligation affected by such payment or reduction. No Lender shall setoff against any Dominion Account without the prior consent of the Agent.

12.8 Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY LOAN PARTIES (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF LOAN PARTIES UNDER ANY CREDIT DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH AGENT INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THE ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR THE AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF THE AGENT). In no event shall any Lender have any obligation hereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Agent Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee. In the Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to the Secured Parties. If the Agent is sued by any Creditor Representative, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by the Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata share.

12.9 Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. The Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Credit Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Loan Party, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations under the Credit Documents. The Agent does not make any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to the Secured Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Credit Documents or Loan Party. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Credit Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Credit Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority

322

of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Loan Party of any terms of the Credit Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Credit Documents.

12.10 Successor Agent and Co-Agents.

12.10.1 Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and the Loan Party Agents. Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (a) a U.S. Lender or an Affiliate of a U.S. Lender; or (b) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof, has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and (provided no Event of Default exists) is reasonably acceptable to the Loan Party Agents. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as the Agent hereunder, or upon appointment of Required Lenders as successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.8 and 14.2. Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while the Agent. Any successor to Bank of America by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be the Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

12.10.2 Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If the Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Credit Documents due to any Applicable Law, the Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If the Agent so appoints a security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to the Agent under the Credit Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. The Secured Parties shall execute and deliver such documents as the Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Agent until appointment of a new agent.

12.11 Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it deems necessary concerning the Credit Documents, the Collateral and each Loan Party. Each Secured Party further acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties and the Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning any Loan Party, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Credit Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party or the Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Credit Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to the Agent by any Loan Party or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Loan Party (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of the Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates.

323

12.12 Remittance of Payments and Collections.

12.12.1 Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to the Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by the Agent and request for payment is made by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time), then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the next Business Day. Payment by the Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by the Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to the Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

12.12.2 Failure to Pay. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to the Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by the Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Loan Parties be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to the Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by Agent pursuant to Section 4.2.

12.12.3 Recovery of Payments. If the Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by the Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received it. If the Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, the Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by the Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by the Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to the Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.13 Agent in its Individual Capacity. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Credit Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders”, “Required Borrower Group Lenders” or any similar term shall include Bank of America and its Affiliates in their capacities as Lenders. Each of Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, as if Bank of America was not Agent hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. In their individual capacities, Bank of America and its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Loan Parties, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Secured Party agrees that Bank of America and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party, if acquired in such individual capacity.

12.14 Agent Titles. Each Lender, other than Bank of America, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Bank of America as an “Agent” or “Arranger” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

324

12.15 Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider that is not a Lender, by delivery of a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the applicable Loan Party Agent, or as otherwise agreed by Agent and such Loan Party Agent, shall agree to be bound by Section 5.5 and this Section 12. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations (except those Claims determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee).

12.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is an agreement solely among the Secured Parties and the Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. This Section 12 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Loan Parties or any other Person. As between Loan Parties and the Agent, any action that the Agent may take under any Credit Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by the Secured Parties.

12.17 Certain ERISA Matters.

12.17.1 Lender Representations. Each Lender represents and warrants, as of the date it became a Lender party hereto, and covenants, from the date it became a Lender party hereto to the date it ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Loan Party, that that at least one of the following is and will be true: (a) Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(42) or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments or Loan Documents; (b) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and Loan Documents; (c) (i) Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (ii) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and Loan Documents, (iii) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and Loan Documents satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14, and (iv) to the best knowledge of Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and Loan Documents; or (d) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between Agent, in its discretion, and Lender.

12.17.2 Further Lender Representation. Unless Section 12.17.1(a) or (d) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further represents and warrants, as of the date it became a Lender hereunder, and covenants, from the date it became a Lender to the date it ceases to be a Lender hereunder, for the benefit of, Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Loan Party, that Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in its entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and Loan Documents (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by Agent under any Loan Document).

12.18 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision herein, if at any time Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Secured Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by Borrowers at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event each Secured Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to

325

Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Secured Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of repayment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Secured Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any defense of discharge for value (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Agent shall inform each Secured Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Secured Party was comprised, in whole or in part, of a Rescindable Amount.

SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

13.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, the Agent, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; provided, that the rights and obligations of a Loan Party Agent may be assigned in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.4; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. For the purposes of the Belgian Security Agreements, the Loan Parties, the Agent, Secured Parties agree that in the event of an assignment, transfer, subrogation or novation of all or any of the rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, including for the purposes of Article 5.247 of the Belgian Civil Code, the Secured Parties shall preserve all of their rights with respect to the assets secured under the Belgian Security Agreements and Guarantees, so that the security created by the Belgian Security Agreements and the Guarantees shall be automatically transferred to the assignee or transferee or, as the case may be, remain with the Secured Parties. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and Fronting Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans, Letters of Credit and other obligations owing to, each Lender or Fronting Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error (provided, that a failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations), and the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders and the Fronting Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit and other obligations recorded in the Register as owing to such Person, for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender or Fronting Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.2 Participations.

13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to Section 13.3.3, any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a Person (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Borrower Group Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Loan Parties within the applicable Loan Party Group shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Loan Parties within the applicable Loan Party Group and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and

326

directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and the Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.8 unless Loan Party Agent agrees otherwise in writing. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable 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, Letters of Credit 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, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents; provided, that a Lender may agree with its Participant that such Lender will not, without the consent of such Participant, consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification which (a) forgives principal, interest or fees, (b) reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Borrower Group Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, (c) postpones the Revolver Commitment Termination Date or the Swingline Commitment Termination Date in respect of a Borrower Group in which such Participant has an interest, or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or (d) releases any Loan Party, Guarantor or substantial portion of the Collateral.

13.2.3 Benefit of Set-Off. Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.7 as if such Participant were a Lender.

13.3 Assignments.

13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Subject to Section 13.3.3 below, a Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent) and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion and, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a U.S. Lender shall include its pro rata share of the Canadian Revolver Sublimit) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) counterparties to swap agreements relating to any Loans; provided, that (1) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and owner of its interest in any

327

Letter of Credit for all purposes hereunder, (2) Borrowers, the Agent, the other Lenders and Fronting Bank shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (3) any payment by Loan Parties to the assigning Lender in respect of any Obligations assigned as described in this sentence shall satisfy Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder to the extent of such payment, and (4) no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

13.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to the Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3.2. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, the Agent and Loan Parties shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new Notes, as applicable. The transferee Lender shall comply with Sections 5.8 and 5.9 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Agent.

13.3.3 Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to any Borrower, Affiliate of any Borrower, Defaulting Lender or natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person). In connection with any assignment by a Defaulting Lender, such assignment shall be effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to the Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as the Agent deems appropriate), (a) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (b) to acquire its Pro Rata share of all Loans and LC Obligations. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.3.3, in order to comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), the amount transferred in respect of a Dutch Borrower shall only be permitted if the assignee Dutch Lender is a Non-Public Lender.

13.3.4 Replacement of Certain Lenders. If (x) a Lender (a) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or (y) if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments with respect to a Lender under Section 5.8, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Agent or a Loan Party Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptances, within 20 days after the notice. The Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents at par, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).

14.1.2 [Reserved].

14.1.3 Limitations. The agreement of Loan Parties shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, the Agent, the Security Trustees and/or any Fronting Bank as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement. No non-Lender that is a party to a Bank Product agreement shall have any right to participate in any manner in modification of any Loan Document. The making of any Loans during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default, nor to establish a course of dealing. Any waiver or consent granted by the Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.

14.1.4 Payment for Consents. After the Closing Date, no Loan Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

14.1.5 No Hardship (Belgium). Each Belgian Domiciled Loan Party agrees to waive Article 5.74 of the Belgian Civil Code and agrees that it shall not be entitled to make any claim or exercise any rights under Article 5.74 of the Belgian Civil Code.

In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, and no Loan Party shall have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee for disputes solely among Indemnitees and not relating to any act or omission of any Loan Party or its Affiliates (other than any action involving the Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Swingline Lender, in each case in its capacity as such, in which case this indemnity shall apply with respect to each such Person, as applicable, to the extent otherwise available). The indemnity under this Section 14.2 shall not apply to any Taxes, other than Taxes arising with respect to a non-Tax Claim.

The Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Electronic mail and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

14.3.3 Non-Conforming Communications. The Agent and Lenders may rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Loan Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party.

14.3.4 Reliance on Communications. No Secured Party shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or other electronic means). Secured Parties may rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting on, any Communication (which may be a fax, electronic message, internet or intranet website posting, or other distribution, or signed by an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof). Agent shall be entitled to rely on the e-mail addresses and telephone numbers provided by Loan Parties, Lenders and their authorized representatives. Each Loan Party hereby waives (a) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or other Communication based solely on the lack of a paper original copy thereof, and (b) waives any claim against any Indemnitee for liabilities arising from its reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including liabilities relating to a Loan Party’s failure to use a security measure in connection with execution, delivery or transmission of an Electronic Signature.

334

14.4 Performance of Loan Parties’ Obligations. The Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Loan Parties of the applicable Loan Party Group, pay any amount or do any act required of a Loan Party under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by the Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Agent’s or any Security Trustee’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of the Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be reimbursed to the Agent by Loan Parties, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to U.S. Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

14.5 Credit Inquiries. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Agent and Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Loan Party or Subsidiary.

14.6 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

14.7 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

14.8 Counterparts; Execution; Electronic Records.

14.8.1 Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when the Agent has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto.

14.8.2 Execution; Electronic Records. Any Loan Document, including any required to be in writing, may (if agreed by Agent and to the extent permissible under the relevant Applicable Laws) be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. An Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on each Loan Party and other party thereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party, enforceable to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature were delivered. A Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. The parties may use or accept manually signed paper Communications converted into electronic form (such as scanned into pdf), or electronically signed Communications converted into other formats, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Agent and Lenders may, at their option, create one or more copies of a Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the Person’s business, and may destroy the original paper document. Any Communication in the form or format of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for

335

all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything herein, (a) Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form unless expressly agreed by it pursuant to procedures approved by it; (b) each Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on any Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such Electronic Signature; and (c) upon request by Agent or any Lender, any Loan Document using an Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed, original counterpart.

14.9 Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

14.10 Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for the Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of the Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Credit Documents shall be deemed to constitute the Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Loan Party.

14.11 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Credit Document, Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Loan Parties and such Person; (ii) Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Loan Parties are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents; (b) each of the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as 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 Loan Parties, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Loan Parties and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Loan Parties or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

14.12 Confidentiality.

14.12.1 General Provisions. Each of the Agent, Lenders and each Fronting Bank shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as this Section 14.12, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of a Loan Party Agent; (h) to the extent such Information (i)

336

becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 14.12 or (ii) is available to the Agent, any Lender, Fronting Bank or any of their Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Loan Parties or (i) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating any Borrower or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Loan Parties and a general description of Loan Parties’ businesses, and may use Loan Parties’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section 14.12 shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information. Each of the Agent, Lenders and each Fronting Bank acknowledges that (A) Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or Subsidiary; (B) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; (C) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including federal, state, provincial and territorial securities laws; and (D) nothing herein, for purposes of the Singapore Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute an agreement by them, with such Singapore Loan Parties, to prescribe a higher degree of confidentiality than that contained in Section 47 of, and the Third Schedules to, the Banking Act 1970 of Singapore. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority.

14.12.2 PPSA Australia. Nothing requires a Secured Party to disclose any information of the kind referred to in section 275(1) of the PPSA Australia or under section 275(4) of the PPSA Australia unless section 275(7) of the PPSA Australia applies. The Loan Parties agree not to exercise their rights to make any request of a Secured Party under section 275 of the PPSA Australia, or to authorize the disclosure of any information under that section or otherwise waive any duty of confidence that would otherwise permit non-disclosure under that section, unless the Agent approves.

14.13 Certifications Regarding Term Loan Credit Agreement. Borrowers certify to the Agent and Lenders that neither the execution or performance of the Loan Documents nor the incurrence of any Obligations by Borrowers violates the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Borrowers further certify that the Commitments and Obligations constitute permitted indebtedness under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Agent may condition Borrowings, Letters of Credit and other credit accommodations under the Loan Documents from time to time upon Agent’s receipt of evidence that the Commitments and Obligations continue to constitute permitted indebtedness at such time.

14.14 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW AND FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

14.15 Consent to Forum; Process Agent.

14.15.1 Forum. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND EACH LOAN PARTY AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION,

337

VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.3.1. Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by the Agent or any Security Trustee of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction. Final judgment against a Loan Party in any action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, including the country in which such Loan Party is domiciled, by suit on the judgment.

14.15.2 Process Agent. Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Foreign Borrower and each other Loan Party organized outside the U.S. (a) irrevocably appoints MRC US as its agent for service of process in relation to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, and (b) agrees that failure by a process agent to notify such Borrower or such Loan Party of any process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

14.16 Waivers by Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which the Agent, each Security Trustee and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by the Agent on which a Loan Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything the Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing the Agent or a Security Trustee to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to the Agent, each Security Trustee, each Fronting Bank and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that the Agent, Security Trustees, each Fronting Bank and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Loan Parties. Each Loan Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

14.17 Exclusion of PPSA Australia Provisions. Where any Secured Party has a security interest (as defined in the PPSA Australia) under any Loan Document, to the extent the law permits:

(a)

for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA Australia:

(i)

each Secured Party with the benefit of a security interest need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4) of the PPSA Australia; and

(ii)

sections 142 and 143 of the PPSA Australia are excluded;

(b)

for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA Australia, each Secured Party with the benefit of a security interest need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3);

338

(c)

each Loan Party and Secured Party waives its right to receive from any Secured Party any notice required under the PPSA Australia (including a notice of a verification statement);

(d)

if a Secured Party with the benefit of a security interest exercises a right, power or remedy in connection with it, that exercise is taken not to be an exercise of a right, power or remedy under the PPSA Australia unless the Secured Party states otherwise at the time of exercise. However, this section does not apply to a right, power or remedy which can only be exercised under the PPSA Australia; and

(e)

if the PPSA Australia is amended after the date of this document to permit a Loan Party and a Secured Party to agree to exclude other provisions of the PPSA Australia, a Secured Party may notify a Loan Party that any of those provisions is excluded, or that the Secured Party need not comply with any of those provisions.

This section does not affect any rights a Person has or would have other than by reason of the PPSA Australia and applies despite any other Loan Document.

14.18 Waiver of Rights (PPSA New Zealand). The Loan Parties:

(a) have no rights under, or by reference to, sections 114(1)(a), 133 and 134 of the PPSA New Zealand;

(b) waive their rights to:

(i) not have goods damaged if a Secured Party or a receiver removes an accession under section 125 of the PPSA New Zealand;

(ii) receive notice of the removal of an accession under section 129 of the PPSA New Zealand;

(iii) apply to the court for an order concerning the removal of an accession under section 131 of the PPSA New Zealand;

(vi) object to any proposal of a Secured Party or a receiver to retain collateral under section 121 of the PPSA New Zealand; and

(c) waive their rights under section 148 of the PPSA New Zealand to receive a copy of a verification statement in respect of any financing statement or financing change statement registered by a Secured Party in respect of any personal property.

14.19 Patriot Act Notice. The Agent and Lenders hereby notify Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, economic or trade sanctions and “know your client” policies, regulations, laws or rules (the Proceeds of Crime Act and such other applicable policies, regulations, laws or rules, collectively,

339

including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies each Loan Party, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other similar information that will allow the Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act and the AML Legislation. The Agent and Lenders may require information regarding Loan Parties’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, in order to comply with the Patriot Act, Beneficial Ownership Regulation and/or the AML Legislation.

14.20 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Canadian Facility Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Canadian Facility Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each U.S. Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each U.S. Lender and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(b) shall provide to each U.S. Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the U.S. Lenders agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Canadian Facility Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Canadian Facility Loan Parties on behalf of any U.S. Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Canadian Facility Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

14.21 Know Your Customer. At the request of the Agent, the Borrowers shall promptly supply or procure the supply of documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Agent (on its behalf or for any Credit Party or prospective Credit Party) in order for a Credit Party to comply with all necessary AML Legislation in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.

14.22 Australian Anti-Money Laundering Provisions. The Australian Borrowers agree that the Agent may delay, block or refuse to process any request for a Borrowing or Australian Letter of Credit without incurring any liability if any Australian Lender reasonably suspects that:

(a) the transaction may breach any AML Legislation;

(b) the transaction involves any Person (natural, corporate or governmental) that is sanctioned under economic and trade sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union or Australia; or

(c) the transaction may directly or indirectly involve the proceeds of, or be applied for the purposes of, conduct which is unlawful in Australia.

The Australian Borrowers must provide all information to the Agent which any Australian Lender reasonably requires in order to manage its money-laundering, terrorism-financing or economic and trade sanctions risk or to comply with any laws or regulations in Australia. The Australian Borrowers agree that the Agent may disclose any information concerning the Australian Borrowers to:

340

(i) any law enforcement, regulatory agency or court where required by any such law or regulations in Australia; and

(ii) any correspondent entity an Australian Lender uses to make the payment for the purpose of compliance with any such law or regulation.

Unless an Australian Borrower has disclosed that it is acting in a trustee capacity or on behalf of another party, the Australian Borrower warrants that it is acting on its own behalf in entering into this document.

Each Australian Borrower declares and undertakes to the Agent that the processing of any request for a Borrowing or Australian Letter of Credit by the Agent in accordance with an Australian Borrower’s instructions will not breach any laws or regulations in Australia.

14.23 Belgian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. Each of the Belgian Lenders agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Belgian Facility Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Belgian Facility Loan Parties on behalf of any Belgian Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Belgian Facility Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

14.24 “Know your customer” Checks. Each Lender shall promptly upon the request of the Agent supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Agent (for itself) in order for the Agent to comply with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all AML Legislation in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.

14.25 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Loan Party for liquidation, reorganization or judicial management, should any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Loan Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

14.26 Nonliability of Lenders. Neither the Agent, any Fronting Bank nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform any Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party’s business or operations. Each Loan Party agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that neither the Agent, any Fronting Bank nor any Lender shall have liability to any Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the party from which recovery is sought. NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH SYNDTRACK OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

341

14.27 Closing Reallocation. The parties to the Existing Loan Agreement agree that, at such time as this Agreement shall have become effective pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 and 6.2, (a) the Obligations hereunder represent the amendment, restatement and extension of the “Obligations” under the Existing Loan Agreement, (b) the Commitments under the Existing Loan Agreement and as defined therein automatically shall be replaced with the Commitments hereunder, and (c) the Agent shall reallocate the Commitments hereunder to reflect the terms hereof (including the addition of any new Lenders party to this Agreement). This Agreement is not a novation of the Existing Loan Agreement. The Commitments of each Lender on and from the Closing Date are set out in Schedule 2.1.1(a) – (g), and Agent shall be entitled to make such settlements and reallocations among the Lenders with respect to any outstanding Obligations to effectuate the foregoing.

14.28 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties, each party hereto (including each Secured Party) acknowledges that, with respect to any Secured Party that is an Affected Financial Institution, any unsecured liability of such Secured Party arising under a Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority, and each party hereto agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liability which may be payable to it by such Secured Party; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent, or a bridge institution that may be issued to the party 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 any Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers.

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

14.29.1 Covered Party. If a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. If a Covered Party or BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes if the Supported QFC and Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

342

14.29.2 Definitions. As used in this Section 14.29, (a) “BHC Act Affiliate” means an “affiliate,” as defined in and interpreted in accordance with 12 U.S.C. §1841(k); (b) “Default Right” has the meaning assigned in and interpreted in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable; and (c) “QFC” means a “qualified financial contract,” as defined in and interpreted in accordance with 12 U.S.C. §5390(c)(8)(D).

14.30 Ratification of Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby ratifies and affirms its obligations under the Loan Documents (as amended, restated or otherwise modified on the Closing Date), each of which (as amended, restated or otherwise modified on the Closing Date) shall continue in full force and effect. To the extent related to a ratification and affirmation in connection with obligations under the Loan Documents governed by and construed in accordance with laws other than the State of New York, the law governing those Loan Documents shall apply to the applicable ratification and affirmation.

14.31 Release of Certain U.S. Borrowers. Agent, at the direction of each Lender, effective as of the Closing Date, hereby (a) releases each of Greenbrier Petroleum Corporation, McJunkin Red Man Development Corporation and Milton Oil & Gas Company (collectively, the “Released Borrowers”) from all of their obligations under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) except for obligations and provisions that expressly survive termination pursuant to their terms, (b) releases its security interests created under the Security Documents (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) in the Collateral (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) of the Released Borrowers, and (c) agrees to execute such further release documentation as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

14.32 Exiting Lenders. Subject to receipt of funds necessary to pay off all accrued but unpaid principal, interest and fees to and including the Closing Date owed to each of Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank Ireland PLC (each, an “Exiting Lender”), each of the parties hereto hereby agrees and confirms, each Exiting Lender’s Commitment shall be $0, its commitment to lend, its obligation to participate in any LC Obligations and all of its obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated and each Exiting Lender shall cease to be a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents, except to the extent of any provisions thereof which by their terms expressly survive regardless of the termination or expiration of the Loan Documents. The Commitments of each Lender on and from the Closing Date are set out in Schedules 2.1.1(a) through 2.1.1(g), as applicable.
