WHEREAS, the Borrowers, various lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), Lehman Brothers Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (“DBSI”), as Arrangers, DBSI, as Syndication Agent, DBNY, as US Dual Currency RCF Agent, Deutsche Bank AG Canada Branch, as Canadian Agent, and the Existing Administrative Agent are party to a Credit Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2007 (as amended, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Existing Administrative Agent desires to resign as the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Existing Swing Line Lender desires to resign as the Swing Line Lender under the Credit Agreement, and DBNY desires to be appointed as the successor Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Successor Administrative Agent”) under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Resignation and Appointment, etc.

---

(a) As of the Effective Date (as defined below), (i) the Existing Administrative Agent hereby resigns as the Administrative Agent as provided under Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Existing Swing Line Lender hereby resigns as the Swing Line Lender as provided under Section 9.9 of the Credit Agreement, and (iii) DBNY hereby accepts such appointment as Successor Administrative Agent. From and after the Effective Date, (1) DBNY succeeds to all the rights, powers and duties of the Existing Administrative Agent, (2) all references in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean DBNY as Successor Administrative Agent and (3) LCPI is discharged from all of its duties and obligations as the Existing Administrative Agent and the Existing Swing Line Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute all documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the appointment of DBNY as the Successor Administrative Agent.

(b) The parties hereto hereby confirm that, from and after the Effective Date, (i) Sections 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.12 and 10.5, to the extent they pertain to the Existing Administrative Agent and/or the Existing Swing Line Lender, shall survive the Existing Administrative Agent’s and the Existing Swing Line Lender’s resignation hereunder, and inure to the benefit of LCPI, its subagents and its affiliates as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while LCPI acted as Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the Successor Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of the protections of the “Administrative Agent” set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto (and the Lenders by their acceptance and authorization of this Agreement pursuant to the Second Amendment) acknowledge and agree that the Successor Administrative Agent shall not be liable for (A) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by LCPI (1) while it was the Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, or (2) pursuant to this Agreement or (B) any actions taken or omitted to be taken, or any determinations made, by the Successor Administrative Agent based upon the information provided by the Existing Administrative Agent with respect to any period ending prior to the Effective Date, including information in the US Dollar-Denominated Facilities Register maintained by the Existing Administrative Agent (unless, in the case of this sub-clause (B), such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Successor Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)).

(c) As of the Effective Date, the Existing Administrative Agent hereby assigns all Liens and security interests under the Credit Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Assigned Loan Documents”) to DBNY, as Successor Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, all Liens with respect to Intellectual Property filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, and DBNY, as Successor Administrative Agent, hereby assumes all such Liens and security interests, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties. All of such Liens and security interests shall in all respects be continuing and in effect following execution and delivery of this Agreement and are hereby ratified and reaffirmed by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to paragraph (d) of this Section 1, any and all references to LCPI on any publicly filed document, to the extent such filing relates to Liens and security interests assigned to the Successor Administrative Agent

---

hereby and until such filing is modified to reflect the interest of DBNY, as Successor Administrative Agent, shall, with respect to such Liens and security interests, constitute a reference to “LCPI” as the administrative agent and collateral representative of DBNY, as Successor Administrative Agent. On and after the Effective Date, all possessory Collateral held by the Existing Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall be deemed to be held by the Existing Administrative Agent as agent and bailee for the Successor Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties until such time as such possessory collateral has been delivered to the Successor Administrative Agent. The Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and LCPI agree that the Successor Administrative Agent is authorized as it may deem necessary or appropriate to file in the United States (including in any state thereof) initial financing statements, “in lieu of” financing statements, assignments of financing statements, financing change statements, amended financing statements, debentures, charges or other filings, to make any and all filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, and to make any amendment, assignment or other filing with respect to any real property covered by any mortgages or other real property Lien filings in any United States jurisdiction (including in any state thereof), in each instance covering any of the collateral described in any Assigned Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document delivered or entered into under or in connection therewith or furnished pursuant thereto.

(d) With respect to any Deposit Account (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) of any Loan Party over which LCPI (in its capacity as Existing Administrative Agent) has “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction) pursuant to a deposit account control agreement immediately prior to the occurrence of the Effective Date (a “Specified Deposit Account”), (i) the Successor Administrative Agent hereby authorizes LCPI (and LCPI hereby accepts such authorization) to act as its agent and bailee for purposes of maintaining “control” of such Specified Deposit Account and taking any action with respect thereto, (ii) LCPI agrees to continue to maintain “control” of such Specified Deposit Account on behalf (and for the benefit) of the Successor Administrative Agent, and (iii) LCPI agrees that it shall act under any control agreement governing such Specified Deposit Account only pursuant to a written instruction of the Successor Administrative Agent, in each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), until the applicable control agreement has been amended, modified and/or restated to the satisfaction of the Successor Administrative Agent to reflect DBNY as the controlling secured party thereunder. LCPI shall be entitled to the protections accorded to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents for all actions taken or not taken pursuant to this clause (d) on the same basis as if LCPI had continued (and not resigned) as Administrative Agent after the Effective Date.

2. Further Assurances.

(a) Without limiting its obligations in any way under any of the Loan Documents, each Loan Party reaffirms and acknowledges its obligations to DBNY as Successor Administrative Agent with respect to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the delivery of any agreements, instruments or any other document after the date hereof and any other actions taken after the date hereof or to be taken after the date hereof shall be to the reasonable satisfaction of the Successor Administrative Agent.

(c) The Existing Administrative Agent agrees that, on or following the Effective Date, it shall promptly (i) furnish, at the Borrowers’ expense, additional releases, termination statements and such other documents, instruments and agreements as are customary and may be reasonably requested by the Successor Administrative Agent in order to effect and evidence more fully the matters covered hereby and (ii) deliver to the Successor Administrative Agent all original stock certificates, instruments, promissory notes and other property of the US Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries held by the Existing Administrative Agent to the extent such relate to any of the Loan Documents, but if and only to the extent that the Existing Administrative Agent locates any such property. The Existing Administrative Agent authorizes the Loan Parties and the Successor Administrative Agent (and their respective counsel) to prepare and file such UCC financing statements and amendments under the Uniform Commercial Code in the offices and jurisdictions that the Successor Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Without limiting the generality of preceding paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2, the applicable Loan Parties agree to enter into and to cause each depositary bank with which any Specified Deposit Account is maintained to enter into, within 15 Business Days after Effective Date (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Successor Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), amendments, restatements or other modifications satisfactory to the Successor Administrative Agent to each deposit account control agreement in respect of a Specified Deposit Account in order to reflect DBNY as the controlling secured party thereunder.
