If the Revolving Facility Lender that triggers the cash collateral requirement under this paragraph ceases to be an Impacted Lender (as determined by the Swingline Lender in good faith), or if the Swingline Commitments have been permanently reduced to zero, the funds held as cash collateral shall thereafter be returned to the Borrower or the Impacted Lender, whichever provided the funds for the cash collateral.

Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Applicable Agent will give notice thereof to each such Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Applicable Agent in the currency of the respective Swingline Loan or Loans for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Facility Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Facility Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Applicable Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. The Applicable Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower

-55-

of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Applicable Agent and not to the applicable Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by a Swingline Lender from the applicable Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Applicable Agent; any such amounts received by the Applicable Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Applicable Agent to the Revolving Facility Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Applicable Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) If any Revolving Facility Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to (i) in respect of Euros the rate per annum determined by the applicable Swingline Euro Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Swingline Euro Lender in connection with the foregoing (“Interbank Compensation”) and (ii) the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and Interbank Compensation. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause 2.04(d) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Each Existing Letter of Credit is deemed to be a letter of credit issued hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.S. Borrower may request the issuance of Dollar Letters of Credit for its own account, for the account of any Subsidiary Loan Party or, subject to the proviso to Section 2.05(b)(ii), for the account of Mobotec and the U.S. Borrower and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower may request the issuance of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit for its own account, in each case in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and prior to the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Applicant Party to, or entered into by the Applicant Party with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

-56-

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal (other than an automatic renewal in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section) or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Applicant Party shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (two Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, (subject to paragraph (n) of this Section) the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Applicant Party also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Applicant Party shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $250.0 million, (ii) the Revolving L/C Exposure, shall not exceed, in respect of Dollar Letters of Credit, $250.0 million (the “Dollar Letter of Credit Limit”); provided that no more than $150.0 million in face amount of Dollar Letters of Credit may be issued for the account of Mobotec, and in respect of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of $125.0 million (the “Alternative Currency Letter of Credit Sublimit”) and (iii) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be issued by any Issuing Bank the stated amount of which, when added to the Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to such Issuing Bank, would exceed the applicable Specified L/C Sublimit of such Issuing Bank. None of the Issuing Banks shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (w) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the applicable Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; (x) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; (y) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or (z) any Revolving Facility Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has received (as set forth below) cash collateral or similar security satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) from either the U.S. Borrower or such Impacted Lender in respect of such Impacted Lender’s obligation to fund under Section 2.05(e). The U.S. Borrower and/or such Impacted Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of

-57-

such Issuing Bank, a security interest in all such cash collateral and all proceeds of the foregoing. Such cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at Bank of America and may be invested in Permitted Investments reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as cash collateral under this clause (z) are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Bank or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of such Impacted Lender, the U.S. Borrower and/or such Impacted Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as cash collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (I) such aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations over (II) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as cash collateral under this clause (z) that the Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as cash collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, to reimburse such Issuing Bank. If the Lender that triggers the cash collateral requirement under clause (z) ceases to be an Impacted Lender (as determined by such Issuing Bank in good faith), or if there are no Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding, the funds held as cash collateral shall thereafter be returned to the U.S. Borrower or the Impacted Lender, whichever provided the funds for the cash collateral.

(c) Expiration Date. (x) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on (each, a “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”) (i) the earlier of (A) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) unless the U.S. Borrower deposits cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j) with respect to the full face amount of such Letter of Credit prior to the issuance thereof, the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided that no more than $50.0 million in face amount of cash-collateralized Letters of Credit may have expiration dates subsequent to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date; provided further subject to Section 2.05(c)(y) any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (i)(B) of this paragraph (c)) or (ii) with respect to Alternative Currency and/or Dollar Letters of Credit not to exceed an aggregate of the Dollar Equivalent of $50.0 million, the earlier of (A) the date that is three years after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date.

(y) If the Applicant Party so requests in any notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Applicant Party shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Facility Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not

-58-

later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.05(b) or otherwise), or (B) it has received written notice on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Facility Lender or the Applicant Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.01 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Facility Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Facility Lender, and each Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of (i) each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rate calculated as of the date such payment is required, of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank in an Alternative Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the U.S. Borrower for any reason (or, if such reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof determined using the Exchange Rates calculated as of the date of such refund). Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the U.S. Borrower and the Applicant Party in respect of such Letter of Credit shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement in Dollars (determined, for purposes of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, using the Dollar Equivalent (determined using the Exchange Rates calculated as of the date when such payment is due) of such L/C Disbursement), not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date the U.S. Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement, provided that in the case of any L/C Disbursement under a Dollar Letter of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Dollar Borrowing, as applicable, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the U.S. Borrower’s obligation to make such payment

-59-

shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Dollar Borrowing. If the U.S. Borrower or the Applicant Party fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, the obligation to reimburse the applicable L/C Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rates calculated as of the date when such payment was due, of such L/C Disbursement and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Facility Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the Dollar Equivalent thereof (if such L/C Disbursement relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), the payment then due from the U.S. Borrower and the Applicant Party in respect thereof and, in the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars its Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from the U.S. Borrower and the Applicant Party (determined as provided in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank in Dollars the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the U.S. Borrower or the Applicant Party pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Dollar Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the U.S. Borrower and the Applicant Party of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the U.S. Borrower and the Applicant Party to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, the U.S. Borrower’s or the Applicant Party’s obligations hereunder; provided that, in each case, payment by such Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of

-60-

any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to an Applicant Party to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Applicant Party to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Applicant Party that are determined by a court having jurisdiction to have been caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s refusal to issue a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination and each refusal to issue a Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Applicant Party and the U.S. Borrower (if the U.S. Borrower is not the Applicant Party) in writing of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the U.S. Borrower and the Applicant Party of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the U.S. Borrower or the Applicant Party shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the U.S. Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower or the Applicant Party when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply; provided, further, that, in the case of a L/C Disbursement made under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any L/C Disbursement that is reimbursed on or before the date such L/C Disbursement is required to be reimbursed under paragraph (e) of this Section, (A) be payable in such Alternative Currency and (B) bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such L/C Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time and (ii) in the case of any L/C Disbursement that is reimbursed after the date such L/C Disbursement is required to be reimbursed under paragraph (e) of this Section, (A) be payable in Dollars, (B) accrue interest on the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rates calculated

-61-

as of the date such L/C Disbursement was made, of such L/C Disbursement, (C) bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (D) Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Facility Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the U.S. Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(h) or (i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, in each case, following the date on which the U.S. Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the U.S. Borrower 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 Dollars in cash equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) the portion of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or L/C Disbursements in an Alternative Currency that the U.S. Borrower is not late in reimbursing pursuant to Section 2.05(e) shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent in such Alternative Currency in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and L/C Disbursements and (ii) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable in Dollars, without demand or other notice of any kind. The U.S. Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.05(c)(x) or 2.11(b). Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(x) or 2.11(b) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Agreement. 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 (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at

-62-

any other time, the U.S. Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the U.S. Borrower, 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 each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the U.S. Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the U.S. Borrower under this Agreement. If the U.S. Borrower 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 U.S. Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the U.S. Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the U.S. Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the U.S. Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(k) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that the U.S. Borrower and the Applicant Party is at such time or thereafter become required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of L/C Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which the U.S. Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(j), if such cash collateral was deposited in an Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Revolving Facility Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to an Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed L/C Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) that constitute each Revolving Facility Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which a L/C Disbursement has been made, in each case, shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Exchange Rates calculated as of such date (or in the case of any L/C Disbursement made after such date, on the date such L/C Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to an Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the Obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

(l) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the U.S. Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate up to three Lenders (in addition to Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and HSBC) that agree (in their sole discretion) to act in such capacity and are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as Issuing Banks. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes.

-63-

(m) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from an Applicant Party pursuant to Section 2.05(b) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), and the Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit if the Administrative Agent shall not have advised the Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment renewal or extension would not be in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (C) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, including but not limited to prompt verification of such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent.

(n) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the Closing Date, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for an Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies, then by prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), such Issuing Bank may declare that Letters of Credit will not thereafter (for the duration of such declaration) be issued by it in Alternative Currencies.

(o) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each stand by Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(p) Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Domestic Subsidiary Loan Party or Mobotec, the U.S. Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Domestic Subsidiary Loan Parties or Mobotec inures to the benefit of the U.S. Borrower, and that the U.S. Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of each of the Domestic Subsidiary Loan Parties and Mobotec.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Applicable Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Applicable Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Applicable Agent (i) in New York City, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, or

-64-

(ii) in London, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency and designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Dollar Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (x) the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or (y) the rate reasonably determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Alternative Currencies) or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars) or the rate reasonably determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Alternative Currencies). If such Lender pays such amount to the Applicable Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Euro Borrowings or Swingline Dollar Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type and denominated in an Alternative Currency resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Applicable Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Applicable Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower.

-65-

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; provided that the resulting Borrowing is required to be a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by clause (a) of the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Applicable Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing (unless such Borrowing is denominated in an Alternative Currency, in which case such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration commencing on the last day of such Interest Period). Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the applicable Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Euros shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

-66-

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Facility Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Term Loan Commitments will terminate at 5 p.m. New York City time on the Closing Date.

(b) The U.S. Borrower (on behalf of itself and all Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments under any Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Revolving Facility Commitments) and (ii) the U.S. Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments.

(c) The U.S. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Facility Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments delivered by the U.S. Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the U.S. Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Facility. Any reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments shall automatically and permanently reduce the Dollar Letter of Credit Limit on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Applicable Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan to the U.S. Borrower on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date, (ii) to the Applicable Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and on the Term Loan Maturity Date and (iii) to the Swingline Dollar Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Dollar Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Dollar Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Dollar Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Facility Borrowing is made by the U.S. Borrower, the U.S. Borrower shall repay all Swingline Dollar Loans then outstanding. Each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Applicable Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower on the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and (ii) to each Swingline Euro Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Euro Loan made by such Lender on the earlier of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Swingline Euro Loan.

-67-

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

(c) Each Applicable Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Facility and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by such Applicable Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or an Applicable Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Applicable Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Term Loans and Revolving Facility Loans.

In the event that any New Term Loans are made on an Increased Amount Date, the amount due on each Term Loan Installment Date (other than the Term Loan Maturity Date) occurring after the Increased Amount Date shall increase by an amount equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum of the principal amount of such New Term Loans, with the remaining principal amount of the New Term Loans being repaid on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(b) [Reserved].

(d) Prepayment of the Term Borrowings from:

(i) all Net Proceeds shall be applied to the Term Loans:

(A) first to reduce scheduled amortization payments occurring within the 12-month period after the date of such payment, and

(B) thereafter to reduce on a pro rata basis (based on the amount of such amortization payments) the remaining scheduled amortization payments in respect of such Term Borrowings; and

(ii) Excess Cash Flow pursuant to Section 2.11(d) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10(d)(i); and

-69-

(iii) optional prepayments pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied to prepay Term Borrowings as directed by the U.S. Borrower.

(e) The U.S. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to 2.11(c) or (d) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans of the contents of the U.S. Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or (d) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Term Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the U.S. Borrower and, for so long as any Existing Notes and/or Finance Notes are outstanding, shall be used to repay Existing Notes in accordance with Section 6.09(b)(i)(2)(z) or Finance Notes in accordance with Section 6.06(j)(iv) and thereafter shall be retained by the U.S. Borrower.

(f) Prior to any repayment of any Borrowing under any Facility hereunder, the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings under the applicable Facility to be repaid and shall notify the Applicable Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility, shall be applied to the Revolving Facility Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, prior to any repayment of a Swingline Dollar Borrowing or a Swingline Euro Borrowing hereunder, the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Applicable Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the scheduled date of such repayment. Repayments of Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.10(f).

(b) In the event and on such occasion that the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds (x) 105% of the total Revolving Facility Commitments solely as a result of currency fluctuations or (y) the total Revolving Facility Commitments (other than as a result of currency fluctuations), the Borrowers under the Revolving Facility shall prepay Revolving Facility Borrowings, Swingline Dollar Borrowings or Swingline Euro Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) made to such Borrowers, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Facility Commitments.

(c) Following the earlier of (x) the repayment in full of the Existing Term Loans and (y) November 4, 2010, Holdings and the U.S. Borrower shall apply all Net Proceeds (including Net Proceeds in excess of any amount utilized in connection with the repayment in full of the Existing Term Loans) promptly upon receipt thereof to prepay Term Borrowings in accordance with paragraphs (d) and (e) of Section 2.10.

(d) Not later than 90 days after the end of each Excess Cash Flow Period, Holdings shall calculate Excess Cash Flow for such Excess Cash Flow Period and shall apply an amount equal to the Required Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow to prepay Term Borrowings in accordance with paragraphs (d) and (e) of Section 2.10.

SECTION 2.12. Fees.

(a) The U.S. Borrower (on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) agrees to pay to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender whose acts or failure to act, whether directly or indirectly, cause it to meet clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of Lender Default), through the Administrative Agent, on April 10th, July 10th, October 10th and January 10th in each year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount of the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender’s Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein.

-71-

(b) The U.S. Borrower (on behalf of itself and the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers) from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each Revolving Facility Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on April 10th, July 10th, October 10th and January 10th of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the Revolving Facility Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings effective for each day in such period and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) on April 5th, July 5th, October 5th and January 5th of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Revolving Facility Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 1/4 of 1 % per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if any portion of an Impacted Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is cash collateralized by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to clause (z) of the fourth sentence of Section 2.05(b), then U.S. Borrower shall not be required to pay the L/C Participation Fee with respect to such portion of such Impacted Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure so long as it is cash collateralized by the U.S. Borrower and (y) if any portion of an Impacted Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure is not cash collateralized pursuant to clause (z) of the fourth sentence of Section 2.05(b), then the L/C Participation Fee with respect to such Impacted Lender’s Revolving L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks unless such Revolving L/C Exposure is cash collateralized.

(c) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter of even date herewith, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, at the times specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(d) The U.S. Borrower agrees that if, in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or forbearance of the Existing Credit Agreement after the Closing Date, Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary pays any fee or compensation to any lenders or the Existing Agent thereunder in connection therewith, then the U.S. Borrower will pay to each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender whose acts or failure to act, whether directly or indirectly, cause it to meet clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of Lender Default), through the Administrative Agent on the date of such payment with respect to the Existing Term Loans, a fee equal to the same percentage of the respective Revolving Facility paid on account of the Existing Term Loans.

(e) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

-72-

SECTION 2.13. Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Dollar Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The (i) Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) Swingline Euro Loans shall bear interest at the Swingline Euro Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by the applicable Borrower 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, 2.0% 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 (x) payable in Dollars, 2.0% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section or (y) payable in an Alternative Currency, the rate set forth in clause (i) of this sentence; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) in the case of Revolving Facility Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments and (iii) in the case of the Term Loans, on the Term Loan Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Term Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Term Loan, a closing fee (the “Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 2.50% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Such Closing Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and such Closing Fee shall be netted against Term Loans made by such Lender.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on clause (b) of the defined term “Alternate Base Rate” shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Applicable Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-73-

SECTION 2.14. Inability to Determine Rates. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:

(a) the Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Applicable Agent is advised by the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Applicable Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Applicable Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, an ABR Borrowing or (B) if such Borrowing is denominated in an Alternative Currency, as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility and the applicable Borrower shall agree adequately reflects the costs to the Revolving Facility Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in such currency, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (if such Borrowing is requested to be made in Dollars) or shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility shall agree adequately reflects the costs to the Revolving Facility Lenders of making the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or those for which payment has been requested pursuant to Section 2.21) or Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, Eurocurrency Revolving Loans or Swingline Alternative Currency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (except those for which payment has been requested pursuant to Section 2.21);

-74-

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Revolving Loan or Swingline Euro Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the U.S. Borrower (in the case of a Letter of Credit) will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the U.S. Borrower (in the case of a Letter of Credit) shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the U.S. Borrower (in the case of a Letter of Credit) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower (in the case of a Loan) or the U.S. Borrower (in the case of a Letter of Credit) shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that a Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Swingline Euro Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan or Swingline Euro Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a Eurocurrency Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in such Alternative Currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent), then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions are made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) any Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Each Loan Party, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Agents, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-76-

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of any jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as may reasonably be requested by such Borrower (or the Administrative Agent) to permit such payments to be made without such withholding tax or at a reduced rate; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation under this paragraph (e) with respect to any withholding Tax imposed by any jurisdiction other than the United States if in the reasonable judgment of such Lender such compliance would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (i) above, to the extent it is legally able to do so, each Non-U.S. Lender shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date if such Non-U.S. Lender is a signatory hereto, (w) otherwise, on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower with two completed originals of the following, as applicable:

(A) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or any successor form;

(B) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (confirming such Lender’s non-U.S. status) or any successor form and a non-bank certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit O 1-4, as applicable (a “Non-Bank Certificate”);

-77-

(D) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership, or a participating Lender granting a typical participation), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, Non-Bank Certificate, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the exemption under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a Non-Bank Certificate on behalf of such beneficial owner(s), or

(E) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from United States federal withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to any payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents.

(iii) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (i) above, to the extent it is legally able to do so, each U.S. Lender shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date if such U.S. Lender is a signatory hereto, (w) otherwise, on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder, (x) at the request of the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent and any with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(e)(iii), a “U.S. Lender” shall not include a Lender or Issuing Bank that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii).

(f) If an Agent or a Lender determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Agent or Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other person.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 2.21, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Applicable Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Applicable Agent to the applicable account designated to the U.S. Borrower by each Applicable Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 2.21 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto. The Applicable Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, (ii) reimbursement obligations shall, subject to Sections 2.05(e) and 2.05(k), be made in the currency in which the Letter of Credit in respect of which such reimbursement obligation exists is denominated or (iii) any other amount due hereunder or under another Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. Any payment required to be made by an Applicable Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if such Applicable Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by such Applicable Agent to make such payment. Any amount payable by any Applicable Agent to one or more Lenders in the national currency of a member state of the European Union that has adopted the Euro as its lawful currency shall be paid in Euros.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Applicable Agent from any Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due from such Borrower hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the

-79-

Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to such Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (in the case of an amount denominated in Dollars) and (ii) the rate reasonably determined by the Applicable Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount (in the case of an amount denominated in an Alternative Currency).

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.18(d), then the Applicable Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Applicable Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in

-80-

the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.17 or 2.21, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or is a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or 2.21 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(c) If any Lender (A) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent or (B) is a Defaulting Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then provided no Event of Default then exists, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) all Obligations of Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment the U.S. Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04.

SECTION 2.20. Foreign Subsidiary Loan Parties. On or after the Closing Date, the U.S. Borrower may designate any Foreign Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Agreement executed by such Foreign Subsidiary and the U.S. Borrower. Each such designation shall specify whether such Foreign Subsidiary shall be entitled to make Borrowings under and request Alternative Currency Letters of Credit under the Revolving Facility,

-81-

and each such designation shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Facility Lender and each Issuing Bank (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld). Upon the execution by the U.S. Borrower and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Termination with respect to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, such Foreign Subsidiary shall cease to be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement; provided that no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Termination will become effective as to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower (other than to terminate such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower’s right to make further Borrowings under this Agreement) at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit for the account of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be outstanding hereunder. Promptly following receipt of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Agreement or Foreign Subsidiary Borrower Termination, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Revolving Facility Lender. The U.S. Borrower shall be entitled to designate any Foreign Subsidiary that complies with the requirements described in Section 5.10(f) as a Foreign Subsidiary Loan Party.

SECTION 2.21. Additional Reserve Costs.

(a) For so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England or comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of the Bank of England, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Revolving Loans or Swingline Euro Loans, the applicable Borrower shall pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs Rate.

(b) For so long as any Lender is required to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the European Central Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserves or the Mandatory Costs Rate) in respect of any of such Lender’s Alternative Currency Loans, the applicable Borrower shall pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Lender’s Loans subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum specified by such Lender to be the cost to such Lender of complying with such requirements in relation to such Loan.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be determined by the applicable Lender, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the applicable Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

SECTION 2.22. Increase in Term Loan Commitments.

(a) New Commitments. At any time and from time to time following the completion of the syndication of the Facilities (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), the U.S. Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request

-82-

additional term loan commitments (any such increase, the “New Term Commitments)” by an amount not in excess of, together with any Indebtedness outstanding under Section 6.01(v), the Dollar Equivalent of $250.0 million in the aggregate or a lesser amount in integral multiples of the Dollar Equivalent of $10.0 million but not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $150.0 million. Such notice shall (A) specify the date (an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the U.S. Borrower proposes that the New Term Commitments be made available for borrowing, which shall be a date not less than 5 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent, and (B) offer each Term Lender the right to provide New Term Commitments on a pro rata basis. The U.S. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the identity of each Term Lender or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each, a “New Term Lender”) to whom the New Term Commitments have been (in accordance with the prior sentence) allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Term Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Term Commitment. Loans made pursuant to such New Term Commitments (“New Term Loans”) shall be made on such Increased Amount Date; provided that (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Term Commitments and Loans; (2) the U.S. Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.16 in connection with the provisions of the New Term Commitments; (3) the maturity date of New Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date; (4) the weighted average life to maturity of any New Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans; (5) in the event that the Applicable Margins for any New Term Loans are more than 50 basis points greater than the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans, then the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable Margins for the New Term Loans are no more than 50 basis points greater than the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans; provided, further, that in determining the Applicable Margins applicable to the Term Loans and the New Term Loans, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the U.S. Borrower to the Lenders of the Term Loans or the New Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) and (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Joint Lead Arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection with the Term Loans or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the New Term Loans shall be excluded; (6) in the event that the minimum Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate (the “LIBOR Floor”) for any New Term Loans is greater than the LIBOR Floor for the Term Loans, then the LIBOR Floor for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the LIBOR Floor for the New Term Loans is no greater than the LIBOR Floor for the Term Loans; (7) after giving pro forma effect to the Borrowings to be made on the Increased Amount Date and to any change to EBITDA and any increases in Indebtedness resulting from the consummation of a permitted acquisition concurrently with such borrowing, Holdings shall be in compliance with the Financial Performance Covenants as of the most recent Test Period for which financial statements were delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a) or (b) or, if prior to the first delivery date for such financial statements hereunder, as of the end of the period for which the most recent financial statements of Holdings are available and if the last day of any such period is prior to the first Test Period for which the Financial Performance Covenants are tested, the levels for the first Test Period for which the Financial Performance Covenants are tested shall be deemed to apply for such purpose; (8) all obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement

-83-

have been repaid in full after giving effect to such New Term Commitments and Loans and all Liens thereunder have been discharged before or after giving effect to such New Term Loan Commitments and Loans; (9) after giving effect to such New Term Loans, there shall be no more than $500.0 million of Existing Senior Notes outstanding and (10) such addition of New Term Commitments and New Term Loans shall be evidenced by one or more Increase Joinders (as defined below) executed and delivered to Administrative Agent by each New Term Lender, as applicable, and each shall be recorded in the register, each of which shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.17(e).

(b) The terms and provisions of New Term Loans made pursuant to the New Term Commitments shall be set forth in a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such New Term Loans, in form and substance satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and each Lender making such New Term Loans and, to the extent the terms and provisions of the New Term Loans are not identical to the Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (3), (4), (5) or (6) of Section 2.22(a)), the Administrative Agent. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22.

(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Term Commitments are effected and borrowed, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Term Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Term Loan, (ii) each New Term Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Term Loan Commitments and all matters relating thereto and (iii) the New Term Loans shall have the same terms as the Term Loans as set forth herein, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Increase Joinder. All New Term Loans made on any Increased Amount Date will be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Increase Joinder.

(d) The New Term Loans and New Term Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents; except that if the U.S. Borrower and each Lender making such New Term Loans agree, such New Term Loans may have the benefit of junior liens on the Collateral on terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Increase Joinder. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Class of Term Loans or any such new Commitments.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the U.S. Borrower’s notice of an Increased Amount Date and, in respect thereof, the New Term Commitments and the New Lenders.

SECTION 2.23. Illegality.

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that it is unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Revolving Facility Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency or any Swingline Euro Loan, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Revolving Facility Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies or Swingline Euro Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

If the Collateral Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral, the Loan Parties will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges the Collateral Agent may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Loan Parties’ total outstanding balance or obligation.

SECTION 8.11. Secured Parties That Are Not Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or any Security Document, no Secured Party which is not a Lender that obtains the benefits of any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guarantee or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations of Secured Parties which are not Lenders unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Secured Party, as the case may be.

SECTION 8.12. Designation of Affiliates for Loan Denominated in an Alternative Currency. The Administrative Agent shall be permitted from time to time to designate one of its Affiliates to perform the duties to be performed by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to Loans, Borrowings and Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency. The provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such Affiliate mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 8.13. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or Issuing Bank an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender or Issuing Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by a Loan Party and without limiting or expanding the obligation of a Loan Party to do so under Section 2.17) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as taxes or otherwise, including any interest or penalties related thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, indemnification and reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to the last paragraph of the definition of “Applicable Margin,” Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.05) shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest hereunder, the expiration of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments or this Agreement.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than pursuant to a merger permitted by Section 6.05(b) or 6.05(i), no Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with the provisions this Section.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section participation in Letters of Credit) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the U.S. Borrower; provided that no consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or during the primary syndication of the Facilities (as determined by the Administrative Agent), any other assignee; and

(B) the Administrative Agent and, in the case of Revolving Facility Commitment, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lenders; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent, shall be required for an assignment of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

-144-

Loans and (y) $1.0 million, in the case of Term Loans, unless each of the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under paragraph (b), (c), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (B) shall not (i) apply to the Swingline Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swingline Loans or (ii) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rate basis;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that no such recordation fee shall be due in connection with an assignment to an existing Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment by the Administrative Agent;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

(E) no assignment shall be made to the Borrowers or to the Affiliates or Subsidiaries of the Borrowers; and

“Approved Fund” shall mean any person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

-145-

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the U.S. Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the U.S. Borrower, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the U.S. Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a 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, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.04(a)(i) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement (oral or written) with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each of the Borrowers agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections as if such Participant were a Lender). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender selling a participation to one or more Participants under this Section 9.04(c) shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, keep a register, specifying each such Participant’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such participation (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Lender shall treat the person whose name is recorded in such Lender’s Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

-146-

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the U.S. Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with the due diligence and initial and ongoing Collateral examination to the extent incurred with the reasonable prior approval of the U.S. Borrower and the reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges for no more than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, counsel for the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers, and, in connection with any such enforcement, protection, workout, restructuring or negotiations, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel) (including the reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel for the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (but no more than one such counsel for any Lender)).

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and any Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities

-147-

and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any property or facility owned, leased or operated at any time by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any liability of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries arising under Environmental Law, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrowers or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. in respect of a non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(d).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Holdings and the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of

-148-

the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of Holdings or the U.S. Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured.

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

provided, further, that (i) no such agreement shall amend, modify and/or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable and (ii) subject to Section 9.08(b)(ii), any such agreement that shall extend the Revolving Facility Maturity Date of one or more Revolving Facility Lenders (the “Extending Revolving Lender”) and does not amend any other provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents other than to change Applicable Margins and/or L/C Participation Fees on Revolving Loans and Revolving L/C Exposures of Extending Revolving Lenders and/or change the Commitment Fee on Available Unused Commitments of Extending Revolving Lenders shall only require the consent of Holdings, Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Extending Revolving Lenders and the Majority Lenders of the Revolving Facility.

The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 9.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Borrowers and Holdings acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrowers and Holdings has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of the Borrowers and Holdings is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Joint Lead Arrangers has any obligation to the Borrowers, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth
