“Section 11.28 Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Co-Borrowers.
(a)Joint and Several Liability. Subject in all cases to the Agreed Security Principles, all Obligations (as defined in this Section 11.28 below) of the Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several Obligations of each Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower. Anything contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of each Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower hereunder, solely to the extent that such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower did not receive proceeds of Loans from any borrowing thereunder, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its Obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Fraudulent Transfer Laws, in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to any other Loan Party or Affiliates of any other Loan Party to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Loan Party hereunder) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation or contribution of such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower and other Affiliates of any Loan Party of Obligations arising under the Guaranty by such parties.
(b)Subrogation. Until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, each Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower shall withhold exercise of any right of subrogation, contribution or any other right to enforce any remedy which it now has or may hereafter have against the other Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations. Each Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, contribution and remedies as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any such rights such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower may have against the other Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower, any collateral or security or any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Collateral Agent may have against the other Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower, any such collateral or security, and any such other guarantor. The Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents together desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their Obligations arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by any Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (a “Euro Tranche C-6 Funding Borrower”) that exceeds its Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair Share as of such date, that Euro Tranche C-6 Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a contribution from the other Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower in the amount of such other Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower’s Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below) as of such date, with the result that all such contributions will cause each Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower’s Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Aggregate Payments to equal its Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair Share as of such date. “Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair Share” means, with respect to a Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair
Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower to (y) the aggregate of the Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrowers, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Euro Tranche C-6 Funding Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in respect of the Obligations guarantied. “Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair Share Shortfall” means, with respect to a Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair Share of such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower over the Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Aggregate Payments of such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower. “Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations of such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that would not render its Obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under §548 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §548, or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrowers for purposes of this Agreement, any assets or liabilities of such Loan Party arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or Obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower. “Euro Tranche C-6 Obligation Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of this Agreement) minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrower from the other Euro Tranche C-6 Term Loan Borrowers as contributions under this Agreement. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Euro Tranche C-6 Funding Borrower.

(a)The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment No. 8 or other documents executed in connection herewith to which such Person is or is to be a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, are within such Loan Party’s corporate or other powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any material Lien under, or require any material payment to be made under (i) any material Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate

(c)(i) Immediately before and after the Amendment No. 8 Funding Date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) all representations and warranties of Holdings, each Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article VI of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such dates, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates, and (iii) if as of the Amendment No. 8 Funding Date and after giving effect thereto the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and all L/C Obligations shall in the aggregate exceed 25% of the used and unused Revolving Credit Commitments, the financial covenant set forth in Section 8.10(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be satisfied, calculated at the time of the Amendment No. 8 Funding Date by looking back to the last day of the prior fiscal quarter to determine if PSP would have been in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 8.10(a) of the Credit Agreement as of such fiscal quarter end as if the financial covenant had been tested for such fiscal quarter (on a Pro Forma Basis and after giving pro forma effect to the Credit Extensions made on the Amendment No. 8 Funding Date).
