WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Loans made, and Letters of Credit issued, under this Agreement be denominated, at the option of the Company or the Additional Borrower, as applicable, in United States Dollars or Available Foreign Currencies; and

WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make such credit facility available to the Borrowers.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, respectively.

“ABR Loans”: Loans in Dollars bearing interest based upon the ABR.

“Additional Borrower Percentage”: as of the Effective Date, with respect to the Additional Borrower, 33¹/3%; provided, that upon written notice by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, such percentage (a) may be increased and/or decreased from time to time and at any time by the Borrowers, and (b) as of the effective date for any such increase or decrease specified by the Borrowers in the applicable notice thereof, shall be the percentage so specified.

“Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate”: (a) with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next ¹/100 of 1%) equal to (i) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (ii) the Statutory Reserve Rate and (b) with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in any other Currency, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next ¹/100 of 1%) equal to the sum of (i) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus (ii) the Mandatory Costs Rate.

“Administrative Schedule”: Schedule II to this Agreement, which contains interest rate definitions and administrative information in respect of each Currency and each Class of Loan.

Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to such Borrower from time to time outstanding from the Effective Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 2.8.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender to such Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender by such Borrower from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the Class of each such Loan and, in the case of each Eurocurrency Loan, each Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrower to each Lender under the applicable Loans and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from each Borrower in respect of the applicable Loans made to such Borrower, and the amount of each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 2.3(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the applicable Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.4. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with subsection 2.5, the Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect. A notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

2.5. Prepayments. (a) Each Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Loans made to such Borrower, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent. Each notice pursuant to the preceding sentence shall specify the date and amount of the applicable prepayment, the Currency of the Loans to be prepaid and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans (in the case of Loans in Dollars) or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.6 and any accrued interest thereon. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice of voluntary prepayment delivered by a Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that any cash proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Company, the Additional Borrower or any other Subsidiary in respect of any incurrence of any Indebtedness, other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under subsection 8.2, the Company shall, within five Business Days of the day such cash proceeds are received, prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such cash proceeds.

2.6. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) By giving a Notice of Conversion, each Borrower may elect from time to time (i) to convert such Borrower’s Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars to ABR Loans or (ii) to convert such Borrower’s ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars; provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of Eurocurrency Loans outstanding in Dollars or ABR Loans may be converted as provided in herein, provided that (A) no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have determined that such a conversion is not appropriate and (B) no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Termination Date.

(b) By giving a Notice of Continuation, each Borrower may continue any of its Eurocurrency Loans as Eurocurrency Loans in the same Currency for additional Interest Periods.

(c) Each Borrower may convert Loans outstanding in one Currency to Loans of a different Currency by repaying such Loans in the first Currency and borrowing Loans of such different Currency in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

(d) If a Borrower shall fail to timely give a Notice of Continuation or a Notice of Conversion in respect of any of such Borrower’s Eurocurrency Loans with respect to which an Interest Period is expiring, such Eurocurrency Loans shall become due and payable on the last day of such expiring Interest Period.

2.7. Minimum Amounts of Tranches. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans comprising (a) each Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars shall be not less than $2,000,000 and (b) each Eurocurrency Borrowing in any Available Foreign Currency shall be not less than the Dollar Equivalent Amount in such Currency of $2,000,000.

2.8. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section.

(d) Interest on Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this subsection shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.9. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If on or prior to the Quotation Day for any Interest Period in respect of any Eurocurrency Loan in any Currency:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market generally, the Administrative Agent cannot ascertain the Eurocurrency Rate in accordance with this Agreement for such affected Currency or such affected Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Lenders that the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such affected Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such affected Interest Period,

(c) the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, then (i) any Eurocurrency Loans requested to be made in such affected Currency on the first day of

such affected Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans in Dollars in a Dollar Equivalent Amount, (ii) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such affected Interest Period from ABR Loans, to Eurocurrency Loans in such affected Currency, shall be continued as ABR Loans and (iii) any Eurocurrency Loans in such affected Currency that were to have been continued as such shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans in Dollars in a Dollar Equivalent Amount. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans in such affected Currency shall be made or continued as such.

2.10. Commitment Increases. (a) In the event that the Company wishes to increase the total Commitment at any time and from time to time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the “Offered Increase Amount”) of such proposed increase (each such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”). The Company may, at its election, from time to time (i) offer one or more of the Lenders the opportunity to provide all or a portion of the Offered Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (c) below and/or (ii) offer one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent the opportunity to provide all or a portion of the Offered Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (b) below. Each Commitment Increase Notice shall specify which Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities the Company desires to provide such Offered Increase Amount. The Company or, if requested by the Company, the Administrative Agent, will notify such Lenders, and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities of such offer.

(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which the Company selects to offer participation in the increased Commitments and which elects to become a Lender under this Agreement and obtain a Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to subsection 2.10(a)(ii) shall execute a New Lender Supplement with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (herein called a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

(c) Any Lender which accepts an offer to it by the Company to increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection 2.10(a)(i) shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased.

(d) If any bank, financial institution or other entity becomes a New Lender pursuant to subsection 2.10(b) or any Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to subsection 2.10(c), additional Loans made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the “Credit Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made pro rata based on the Commitment Percentages in effect on and after such Credit Re-Allocation Date. In the event that on any such Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of any Loans, the Borrowers shall make prepayments thereof and borrowings of Loans so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Commitment Percentages.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.10, in no event shall any transaction be effected pursuant to this subsection 2.10, (i) that would increase the aggregate amount of the total Commitments by an amount greater than the Maximum Increase Amount, as calculated immediately prior to such transaction, (ii) unless no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would occur after giving effect to such transaction), (iii) unless the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the financial covenants specified in subsection 8.1, and (iv) unless each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrowers in or pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent any such representations and warranties relate, by their terms, to a specific date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such specific date).

(f) To the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, it shall be a condition precedent to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.10 that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to the Credit Re-Allocation Date, for the benefit of the Lenders, (i) legal opinions of counsel to the Borrowers covering such matters as are customary for transactions of this type and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and (ii) any other certificates or documents that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Increases in the Commitments in accordance with this subsection 2.10 will not require the consent of the Majority Lenders.

(g) The Administrative Agent will notify all Lenders of each increase in Commitments pursuant to this subsection.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in subsection 11.1 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Borrower, shall, and is hereby expressly permitted to, (i) amend the Loan Documents and (ii) enter into additional Collateral Documents, in each case to the extent necessary to (A) give effect to any increases pursuant to this subsection 2.10, (B) implement any mechanical changes necessary or advisable in connection therewith or (C) to cause the additional commitments to be secured by Liens on the Collateral.

2.11. Substitution of Euro for National Currency. If any Available Foreign Currency is replaced by the euro, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the euro may be tendered in satisfaction of any obligation denominated in such Available Foreign Currency at the conversion rate specified in, or otherwise calculated in accordance with, the regulations adopted by the Council of the European Union relating to the euro. No replacement of an Available Foreign Currency by the euro shall discharge, excuse or otherwise affect the performance of any obligation of the Company under this Agreement.

2.12. Unavailability of Available Foreign Currency. If on any Quotation Day (a) a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that the Available Foreign Currency requested is not readily available to it in the amount required or (b) a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that compliance with its obligation to participate in a Loan in the proposed Available Foreign Currency would contravene a law or regulation applicable to it, the Administrative Agent will give notice to the relevant Borrower to that effect by 12:00 Noon, New York time, on that day.

In this event, any Lender that gives notice pursuant to this subsection will be required to participate in the Loan in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount) and its participation will be treated as a separate Loan denominated in Dollars during that Interest Period.

2.13. Separate Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) at no time and in no circumstances shall the Additional Borrower be liable for any Company Obligations or any other indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of the Company hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, whether incurred by the Company before, on or after the Effective Date and (b) with respect to any borrowing by either of the Company or the Additional Borrower of any Loans hereunder, such Loans are for the applicable requesting Borrower’s own account, and such Loans and such Borrower’s other obligations hereunder are obligations of such Borrower and do not constitute joint and several obligations of both Borrowers (it being understood, however, that (i) the obligations of the Additional Borrower are guaranteed by, and secured by assets of, the Company and the other Loan Parties and (ii) the obligations of the Company under the Loan Documents are guaranteed by, and secured by assets of, the Domestic Loan Parties, in each case as and to the extent provided in the Collateral Documents).

2.14. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection 4.1;

(b) the Commitment and Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to subsection 11.1); provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that nothing in this subsection 2.14(b) shall affect the rights of any Defaulting Lender under the proviso to the first sentence of subsection 11.1(a);

(i) all or any part of the L/C Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages but only to the extent the aggregate amount of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Exposure following such reallocation does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Banks only the Company’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in subsection 3.10 for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;

(iii) if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to subsection 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are cash collateralized;

(iv) if the L/C Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to subsection 4.3 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) and Letter of Credit fees payable under subsection 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to such Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(vi) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Obligations will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with subsection 2.14(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with subsection 2.14(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(d) If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, then such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or such Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to eliminate any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage.

SECTION 3

THE LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1. L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue or amend letters of credit (including Letters of Credit payable by acceptance of a Time Draft as described in subsection 3.9) (“Letters of Credit”, which shall include the existing letters of credit specified on Schedule III which shall be continued and be deemed Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder) for the account of the Company on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such form as shall be reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank; provided, that no Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended if, after giving effect thereto (i) the aggregate amount of the Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed $60,000,000 or (iii) the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations in respect of Standby Letters of Credit would exceed $30,000,000.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall:

(i) be denominated in Dollars or an Available Foreign Currency and shall be either (A) a standby letter of credit issued to support any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary, contingent or otherwise (a “Standby Letter of Credit”) or (B) a commercial letter of credit issued in respect of the purchase of goods and services in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (a “Commercial Letter of Credit”) and,

(ii) expire no later than the earlier of (A) one year after its date of issuance and (B) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (B) above).

(c) No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would cause such Issuing Bank or any Lender to violate any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit under this Agreement. The Company may from time to time request that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Bank at its Issuing Office an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Bank, and such other documents required in connection therewith as such Issuing Bank may reasonably request. Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of any Application, such Issuing Bank will process such Application and any other documents delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other

documents required in connection therewith by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Bank and the Company. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly (and in no event later than the Business Day following its issuance of any Letter of Credit) advise the Administrative Agent of the terms of such Letter of Credit (or provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of such Letter of Credit), and each Lender shall be entitled to receive from the Administrative Agent, following such Lender’s request therefor, any documents so provided to the Administrative Agent.

3.3. Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank) in Dollars pro rata according to their Commitment Percentages, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to the then Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans on the daily average amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such commissions shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December to occur after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and shall be nonrefundable. In addition to the foregoing fees, the Company shall pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account in Dollars a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the aggregate undrawn and unexpired amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Such fronting fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and shall be nonrefundable.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Company shall pay or reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering such Letter of Credit.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Bank and the Lenders all fees and commissions received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this subsection.

3.4. L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from such Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest in such Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank hereunder in an amount equal to the product of such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Bank thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for which such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank upon demand at such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Office an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed in the Currency in which payment of such draft was made and in immediately available funds.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Bank on the date such payment is due from such L/C Participant, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) (A) in the case of any such payment obligation denominated in Dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (B) in the case of any such payment obligation denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, the rate customary in such Currency for settlement of similar inter-bank obligations, as quoted by such Issuing Bank, in each case during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) is not made available to such Issuing Bank by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate of an Issuing Bank submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with subsection 3.4(a), the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Bank on demand the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Bank to it.

(d) Each L/C Participant’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 3.4(a) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant or the Company may have against any Issuing Bank, the Company or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Article VII; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any Subsidiary; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Company or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

3.5. Reimbursement Obligation of the Company. (a) The Company agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such Issuing Bank notifies the Company of the date and amount of a draft presented under such Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Bank for the amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Bank at its Issuing Office in the Currency in which payment of such draft was made and in immediately available funds.

(b) Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Company under this subsection from the date such amounts are required to be paid by the Issuing Bank until payment in full at the ABR then in effect plus the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans then in effect until the third Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice and thereafter at the rates provided for above in this paragraph plus 2% per annum.

3.6. Obligations Absolute. (a) The obligations of the Company under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Company may have or have had against any Issuing Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit.

(b) The Company also agrees with each Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank that such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Company’s Reimbursement Obligations under subsection 3.5(a) shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, provided, that reliance upon such documents by such Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank or (ii) any dispute between or among the Company and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or (iii) any claims whatsoever of the Company against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.

(c) The Issuing Banks shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) The Company agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Customs (with respect to any commercial Letter of Credit) or the ISP (with respect to any Standby Letter of Credit), shall be binding on the Company and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Bank to the Company.

3.7. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment to an Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Company of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank to the Company in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in compliance with such Letter of Credit.

3.8. Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

3.9. Issuance of Letters of Credit Priority for Acceptance of Time Drafts. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, the Company may request that any Letter of Credit permit drawings thereunder to be by means of acceptance by the Issuing Bank of a time draft (a “Time Draft”) rather than by payment of a sight draft. Each Time Draft shall (in addition to satisfying all of the provisions set forth in this Section 3, except to the extent such provisions conflict with the provisions in this subsection 3.9 (in which case this subsection 3.9 shall be controlling)) expire no later than the earliest of (i) 90 days following the acceptance of such Time Draft by the related Issuing Bank, (ii) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date and (iii) 180 days after the issuance of the Commercial Letter of Credit pursuant to which such Time Draft is made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(b) in calculating the outstanding amount of L/C Obligations for purpose of determining the amount of the Commitments available for usage as Letters of Credit under subsection 3.1(a), the face amount of each outstanding and accepted Time Draft shall be deemed to constitute L/C Obligations;

(c) in calculating the undrawn face amount of any Letter of Credit for purposes of determining the amount of Letter of Credit commission payable pursuant to subsection 3.3(a), each Letter of Credit under which a Time Draft has been issued and accepted shall be deemed undrawn to the extent of the face amount of such Time Draft until such Time Draft has been paid; and

(d) each L/C Participant shall be deemed to have an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under any Time Draft accepted by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit.

3.10. Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in subsection 9.1(f)(i) or (ii). The Company also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by subsection 2.14(c). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Company’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear

interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the outstanding L/C Obligations at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this Agreement. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to subsection 2.14(c) or this subsection 3.10, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Exposure would not exceed the aggregate Commitments and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION 4

CERTAIN PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

4.1. Facility Fee. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender such Borrower’s Applicable Percentage of a facility fee for the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date or such earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, computed at the Facility Fee Rate in effect from time to time on the average daily amount of the Commitment (used and unused) of such Lender during the period for which payment is made (or after the Termination Date on the average daily amount of the Exposure of such Lender), payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date or such earlier date on which the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Effective Date.

(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the account of the Lenders, the fees specified in, and in the amounts and on the dates set forth in, the Fee Letter required to be paid by such Borrower thereunder.

4.2. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Facility fees and, whenever it is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, interest on ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed; and, otherwise, interest and Letter of Credit commissions shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, respectively. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any Eurocurrency Rate.

4.3. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by a Borrower of Loans and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans of such Borrower then due and owing to the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, Reimbursement Obligations or otherwise, shall be made without set off or counterclaim. All payments in respect of Loans in any Currency shall be made in such Currency and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and at or prior to the Payment Time, for Loans of such Currency, on the due date thereof. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Lenders any payments received by the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date in respect of Loans that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower requesting such Loan a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to (i) in the case of any such Loans denominated in Dollars, the daily average Federal funds rate, as quoted by the Administrative Agent or (ii) in the case of any Loans denominated in an Available Foreign Currency, the rate customary in such Currency for settlement of similar inter-bank obligations, as quoted by the Administrative Agent, in each case for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the applicable Class of Loans in such Currency hereunder, on demand, from the applicable Borrower of such Loan.

(c) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to subsection 3.4, 4.3(b) or 10.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by

the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks to satisfy such Lender’s obligations thereto under such subsection until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such subsection, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

4.4. Requirements of Law. (a) If after the Effective Date the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) applicable generally in the jurisdiction of such Lender to banking institutions of the same type as such Lender

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Eurocurrency Loan made by it to a Borrower or any Extension of Credit to a Borrower, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by a Borrower (whether or not any additional amount is payable by a Borrower pursuant to subsection 4.5) and the imposition of, or any change in the rate or other basis of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition affecting Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender to a Borrower, or Extensions of Credit by such Lender to a Borrower;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans to a Borrower or issuing for or participating in Letters of Credit of the Company or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, and such Lender has no reasonable means (as it shall determine in its sole discretion acting in good faith) to avoid such costs or reductions, then, in any such case, the applicable Borrower of such Loan or, in the case of the Company, with respect to such Letter of Credit shall promptly pay such Lender following receipt of a certificate of such Lender in accordance with subsection 4.4(c) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be deemed for purposes of this Section to be a change after the Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made subsequent to the Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital, if any, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, each Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender following receipt of a certificate of such Lender in accordance with subsection 4.4(c) its Applicable Percentage of such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered. Notwithstanding any other provision in this paragraph (b), no Lender shall be entitled to demand compensation pursuant to this paragraph (b) if it shall not then be the general practice of such Lender or such corporation to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other comparable credit agreements.

(c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or such corporation as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and setting forth in reasonable detail an explanation of the basis of requesting such compensation in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b) above, including calculations in detail comparable to the detail set forth in Certificates delivered to such Lender in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other comparable credit agreements, shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Borrower, as required by paragraph (a) or (b) above, shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered to it within ten days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period, except that no Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this subsection 4.4 for any such costs incurred or any such reduction suffered with respect to any date unless such Lender shall have notified the Borrowers that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (c) above, not more than six months after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which such Lender shall have become aware of such costs or reductions. The protection of this subsection 4.4 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed.

(e) The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.5. Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or

withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (other than Excluded Taxes). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings (together with any interest, additions to tax and penalties applicable thereto, “Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by a Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by a Borrower, such Borrower shall timely pay such Non-Excluded Taxes and shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If the applicable Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower shall not be required to make any payments in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes to any Lender that has changed the Funding Office at which it maintains the Extensions of Credit to which such Non-Excluded Taxes relate (other than any such change in Funding Office made by such Lender pursuant to subsection 4.7 to avoid or minimize the application or effects of subsection 4.4 or 4.5) in an amount greater than such Borrower would have been required to pay pursuant to this subsection 4.5 if no such change in Funding Office had occurred. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) (i) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and any other relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company, any other relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding, provided that (except in the case of taxes imposed by the United States or Germany that are in effect as of the date hereof) such Lender has received written notice from a Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable documentation. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Company, any other relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company, any other relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company, any other relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements, provided such Lender is legally able to do so and provided that (except in the case of taxes imposed by the United States that are in effect as of the date hereof) such Lender has received written notice from a Borrower advising it of the availability of any exemption from such backup withholding or information reporting requirements and supplying all applicable documentation.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is not incorporated, created or organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state or political subdivision thereof (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall:

(A) deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (1) two duly completed copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to entitlement to treaty benefits) or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as applicable, (2) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto and a Form W-8BEN, and (3) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; or applicable successor form, in each case, demonstrating such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding tax on all payments by the Company under this Agreement,

(B) deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two further current copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company; and

(C) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Company and the Administrative Agent of the legal basis therefor. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 11.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this subsection, provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)

and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (i) to comply with its obligations under FATCA, (ii) to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, and (iii) to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment (or to determine that no amount is required to be deducted and withheld from such payment). For purposes of this subsection 4.5(b)(iii), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.

(c) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (but, in the case of any Non-Excluded Taxes for which an additional amount is payable by a Borrower under this subsection 4.5, only to the extent that the applicable Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of a Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this subsection 4.5(c) shall be paid within ten days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

4.6. Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or reasonable expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a Loan after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making by such Borrower of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period or the maturity date, as the case may be, with respect thereto. Such loss or reasonable expense shall be equal to the sum of (i) such Lender’s actual costs and expenses incurred (other than any lost profits) in connection with, or by reason of, any of the foregoing events and (ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender of (A) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or continued (assumed to be the Eurocurrency Rate applicable thereto) for the period from and including the date for such payment, prepayment, conversion or continuation to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan over (B) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid, converted or continued for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts, including calculations in reasonable detail, that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this subsection 4.6 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.7. Change of Lending Office. (a) Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of subsection 4.4 or 4.5, it will use reasonable efforts

(consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrowers or designate a different lending office for Extensions of Credit affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates with the object of avoiding or minimizing the consequences of such event; provided, that such filing, designation or assignment is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and, provided, further, that nothing in this subsection 4.7 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Company or the rights of any Lender pursuant to subsection 4.4 or 4.5.

(b) In the event that any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to subsection 4.4 or 4.5, or if any Lender shall default in its obligations to fund any Loans hereunder, then the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 11.6), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in subsection 11.6) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such assignee; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless (i) such assignment shall not violate any Requirement of Law, (ii) such assignee shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the outstanding principal amount of the Loans made by such Lender hereunder and (iii) each Borrower shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender hereunder to such Borrower and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder (including any amount that would be payable to such Lender pursuant to subsection 4.6 if such assignment were, instead, a prepayment).

4.8. Company Controls on Exposure; Calculation of Exposure; Prepayment if Exposure Exceeds Commitments. (a) The Company will monitor the borrowings and repayments of Loans by the Borrowers and the issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit and Time Drafts, with the object of preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in the aggregate amount of the Exposure being in excess of the Commitments and of promptly identifying and remedying any circumstance where, by reason of changes in exchange rates, the aggregate amount of the Exposure does exceed the Commitments. In the event that at any time the Company determines that the aggregate amount of the Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments by more than 5%, each Borrower will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of making such determination, make such repayments or prepayments of Loans made to such Borrower as shall be necessary to cause the aggregate amount of the Exposure to no longer exceed the Commitments.

(b) The Administrative Agent will calculate the aggregate amount of the Exposure (including the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations) from time to time, and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar week. In making such calculations, the Administrative Agent will rely on the information most recently received by it from Issuing Banks in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit (including, with respect to such Issuing Banks, the conversion ratios in respect of the non-Dollar denominated Letters of Credit provided to the Administrative Agent by such Issuing Banks on the fifteenth day and the end of each month (or

on the Business Day next succeeding such days)). Upon making each such calculation, the Administrative Agent will inform the Company of the results thereof and, upon the request of any Lender, inform such Lender of the results thereof.

(c) In the event that on any date the Administrative Agent calculates that the aggregate amount of the Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments by more than 5%, the Administrative Agent will give notice to such effect to the Company. Within five Business Days after receipt of any such notice, each Borrower will, as soon as practicable but in any event within five Business Days of receipt of such notice, make such repayments or prepayments of Loans made to such Borrower as shall be necessary to cause the aggregate amount of the Exposure to no longer exceed the Commitments.

(d) Any prepayment required to be made pursuant to this subsection 4.8 shall be accompanied by payment of amounts payable, if any, pursuant to subsection 4.6 in respect of the amount so prepaid.

SECTION 5

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make the Loans and to issue and/or participate in the Letters of Credit, each of the Borrowers hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

5.1. Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by KPMG LLP and set forth in the Company’s annual report for the year ended June 30, 2010, as filed with the SEC on Form 10-K present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year. The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date, and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the accountants or Responsible Officer of the Company, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein).

5.2. No Change. Since June 30, 2010, there has been no development or event which has had or is reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3. Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or other organization, except to the extent, with

respect to a Subsidiary, where any failure to maintain existence or good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that the lack of any such power or authority would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other entity under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except to the extent that any failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law except to the extent that any failure to so comply is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4. Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or organizational power, as applicable, and authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate or organizational action, as applicable, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which a Loan Party is a party, except for (i) filings necessary to perfect the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent, (ii) the authorizations, approvals, actions, notices and filings which have been duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect, (iii) those filings and actions agreed by the parties to be taken after the Effective Date pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and (iv) any consent, authorization, filing or notice, where the failure to obtain any such consent or authorization or to make any such filing or give any such notice would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights or remedies generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

5.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which a Loan Party is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not (a) violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries except where any such violation would not reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (b) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (except for Liens created under the Loan Documents) on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation except where any such creation or imposition of any such Lien would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6. No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which is reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7. No Default. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

5.8. Ownership of Real Property; Liens. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its material real property, except for minor defects in title and other Liens that do not interfere in any material respect with such Person’s ability to conduct its business as presently conducted.

5.13. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(e) No judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of the Company, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Company or any Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.

SECTION 10

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE JOINT LEAD ARRANGERS

10.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

10.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents, advisors (of the type contemplated by any Loan Document to be engaged by the Administrative Agent) or attorneys-in-fact appointed as such by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such agent, advisor or attorney-in-fact of the Administrative Agent.

10.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors (of the type contemplated by any Loan Document to be engaged by the Administrative Agent), attorneys in fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any

action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document with the consent of or at the request of the Majority Lenders or in the absence of its or such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrowers or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of a Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrowers.

10.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with the written request of the Majority Lenders (to the extent that the Majority Lenders make any such request in accordance with the Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

10.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrowers, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the

Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrowers which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

10.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in their capacities as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8. Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Company. The Majority Lenders shall, within ten days after receipt of any such notice of resignation, in consultation with the Company, appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall, unless an Event of Default shall then be continuing, be subject to approval by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon the date of such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable by the Borrowers to the retiring Administrative Agent unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.10. The Joint Lead Arrangers. The Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents, in such capacities, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no obligations or liabilities, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent and the Company that it is incapable of receiving such notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Company may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

11.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

11.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (c) of this subsection, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this subsection or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection 11.6(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection 11.6(f) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other

entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Extension of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrowers, the other Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells any such participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, except that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any such amendment, waiver or consent that would (i) reduce the principal of, or interest on (except in connection with any waiver of applicability of any increase in interest rates during the continuance of an Event of Default), the Loans or any fees payable to all of the Lenders hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans, in each case solely to the extent such amendment, waiver or consent directly affects the Loan or Loans in which the Participant is participating (provided that any waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute any amendment to the terms of any such participation, and that any increase in any Commitment or in the principal amount of any Loan or any interest thereon shall be permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s participation in any Loan is not increased as a result thereof). The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in subsection 11.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation being limited solely to those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation to such Participant; provided that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it were a Lender; and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such subsection than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 4.5 unless each Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of each Borrower, to comply with subsection 4.5 as though it were a Lender.

(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof or, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice of the proposed assignment), to an additional bank or financial institution (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Company and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided that, in the case of any such assignment to an additional bank or financial institution, the aggregate amount of the Commitment being assigned and, if such assignment is of less than all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment remaining with the assigning Lender are each not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (e) of this subsection, the consent of the Company shall not be required for any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events described in subsection 9(f)(i) or (ii) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrowers, maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing by each Borrower to, each Lender, from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by each Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Company and the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Company.

(f) Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee, subject to the provisions of subsection 11.16, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, provided, that the Lenders shall take such steps as reasonably necessary to ensure that confidential information will be treated in a confidential manner as required by subsection 11.16.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection concerning assignments of Loans relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

11.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and subject to the provisions of subsection 2.13, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans to a Borrower or other Company Obligations or Additional Borrower Obligations, as applicable, then due and owing, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 9(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans to such Borrower or other Company Obligations or Additional Borrower Obligations, as applicable, then due and owing, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans to such Borrower or other Company Obligations or Additional Borrower Obligations, as applicable, or shall make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment ratably by the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans to such Borrower and other Company Obligations or Additional Borrower Obligations, as applicable, owing to them; provided, however, that if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; and the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by such Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to such Borrower or other Company Obligations or Additional Borrower Obligations, as applicable, to any Transferee, other than to the applicable Borrower (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply).

(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.13, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to a

Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by a Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims (other than Hedging Agreements entered into by such Borrower and such Lender), in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

11.8. Judgment. (a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of a Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Agreement Currency, the applicable Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

11.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or other means of electronic communication), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.11. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

11.12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

11.13. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address set forth in subsection 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this subsection any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages;

provided that nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding against the Company, the Additional Borrower, any Loan Party or any of their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction for the purpose of the recognition or enforcement of any judgment or in order to proceed against or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral.

11.14. Acknowledgements. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrowers arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

11.16. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, each other Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all information provided to it by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, other than any information that is available to such Person on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Information”); provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such Information (i) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (ii) to any Transferee or prospective Transferee which agrees to be bound by the provisions of this subsection 11.16 or substantially equivalent provision, (iii) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors (it being understood that all such Persons to whom disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and shall be instructed to and agree to keep such information strictly confidential), (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (v) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (vi) which has been publicly disclosed by the Company or (vii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, “Information” shall not include, and the Company, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the respective Affiliates of each of the foregoing (and the respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives of each of the foregoing and their Affiliates), and any other party, may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, (i) any information with respect to the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby and any facts that may be required to understand such tax treatment, which facts shall not include for this purpose the names of the parties or any other Person named herein, or information that would permit identification of the parties or such other Persons, or any pricing terms or other nonpublic business or financial information that is unrelated to such tax treatment or facts and (ii) all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of the Persons referred to above relating to such tax treatment or facts

A Subsidiary Loan Party (other than the Additional Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Collateral Documents in Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Loan Party (other than the Additional Borrower) shall be automatically released (a) in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Agreement and (b) upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Majority Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise. Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to a Borrower or any other Subsidiary) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Collateral Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 11.1A, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released.

Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

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