24

Obligations shall, unless otherwise specified, be deemed to refer to such agreements or Contractual Obligations as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time and (vi) where applicable, any amount (including, without limitation, minimum borrowing, prepayment or repayment amounts) expressed in Dollars shall, when referring to any currency other than Dollars, be deemed to mean an amount of such currency having a Dollar Equivalent approximately equal to such amount.

(c)    The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section, Schedule and Exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(d)    The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

1.3    Exchange Rates. Not later than 1:00 P.M., Local Time, on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall (a) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date for each currency other than Dollars in which a Letter of Credit is then outstanding and (b) give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date.

1.4    Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Base Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section 2.12(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.12(d), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Base Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.12(b), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.12(c)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurocurrency Base Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

1.5    Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any

25

agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.

1.6    Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

SECTION 2.    AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

2.1    Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing. Any funding of Incremental Term Loans shall be made pursuant to such procedures as shall be agreed to by the Parent Borrower, the relevant Incremental Term Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

2.2    Repayment of Term Loans. The Incremental Term Loans of each Incremental Term Lender shall mature in consecutive installments (which shall be no more frequent than quarterly), if any, as specified in the Incremental Facility Activation Notice pursuant to which such Incremental Term Loans were made.

2.3    Revolving Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans in Dollars (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, does not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. During the Revolving Commitment Period the relevant Borrowers may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the relevant Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.8. No Revolving Loans shall be made if the Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Revolving Commitment.

(b)    Each Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans borrowed by it on the Revolving Termination Date.

(c)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.6) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

2.4    Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrowers may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the relevant Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (a) prior to 11:00 A.M., Local Time, three Business Days prior

26

to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, or (b) prior to 2:00 P.M., Local Time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans) specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan, the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor and the details of the account to which funds are to be paid. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Revolving Lender thereof. Each relevant Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Borrower at the Funding Office prior to (a) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, 1:00 P.M., Local Time and (b) in the case of ABR Loans, 4:00 P.M., Local Time, in each case on the Borrowing Date requested by the relevant Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent; provided that any Revolving Lender may make any Revolving Loan to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower by causing any domestic or foreign branch or affiliate of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loan. Such borrowing will then be made available to the relevant Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders.

2.5    Facility Fees, etc. (a) The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a facility fee for the period from and including the date hereof to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.

(b)    The Parent Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

2.6    Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Parent Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the relevant Revolving Commitments then in effect.

2.7    Optional Prepayments. The relevant Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M., Local Time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, and no later than 11:00 A.M., Local Time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans; provided that if such notice is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments and a refinancing of all Loans outstanding hereunder, such notice may be conditional on the effectiveness of the replacement credit agreement or other similar document and may be revoked by the Parent Borrower if such condition is not satisfied, subject to Section 2.16; provided further that if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, such Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16. Upon receipt of any such notice the

27

Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given and not revoked as provided in the preceding sentence, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

2.8    Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Parent Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., Local Time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Parent Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., Local Time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b)    Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the relevant Borrower giving irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit F and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurocurrency Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the relevant Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall (i) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and (ii) otherwise, where the relevant Borrower has failed to give a notice of continuation by 11:00 A.M. Local Time three Business Days prior to the end of the expiring Interest Period, be automatically continued as a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of one month. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.9    Limitations on Eurocurrency Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than fifteen Eurocurrency Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

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

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

28

(c)    (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2% per annum, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% per annum (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2% per annum), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d)    If and 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 Banks but excluding requirements reflected in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans in any currency other than Dollars, such Lender may require the Parent Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such 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.

(e)    Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (d) above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and notified to the Parent Borrower in the form of a certificate setting forth such additional interest at least five Business Days before each date on which interest is payable for the relevant Loan, and such additional interest so notified to the Parent Borrower by the Administrative Agent shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

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

2.11    Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate and Loans denominated in Sterling, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-(or 366, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Parent Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b)    Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

29

2.12    Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

(a)    Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2.12, if prior to the first day of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers absent demonstrable error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period, or

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

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the relevant Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, and until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent shall do promptly after becoming aware thereof), (x) any Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any ABR Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, (A) no further Eurocurrency Loans under any affected Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Parent Borrower have the right to convert Loans under any such Facility to Eurocurrency Loans and (B) upon the request of the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall enter into good faith negotiations to add a competitive bid facility, on customary terms reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to this Agreement and, if necessary, the other Loan Documents and make any amendments to this Agreement or the Loan Documents to the extent necessary to reflect the existence of such competitive bid facility.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Eurocurrency Base Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Parent Borrower, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such proposed amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders; provided that, with respect to any proposed amendment containing any SOFR-Based Rate, the Lenders shall be entitled to object only to the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment contained therein. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of Eurocurrency Base Rate with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(c)    In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

30

(d)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole reasonable good faith discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12.

(e)    Upon the Parent Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) any Borrowing requested to be made as a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the ABR shall be suspended.

2.13    Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by any Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by any Borrower on account of any facility fee and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders.

(b)    Each payment by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans under a particular Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders under such Facility.

(c)    All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, Local Time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (or, in the case of Dollar-denominated Loans, if greater, the Federal Funds Effective Rate), for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available

to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the relevant Borrower.

(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the relevant Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the relevant Borrower hereunder that the relevant Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the relevant Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.13(e) shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers.

2.14    Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof (but excluding any expected adoption or change in any Requirement of Law reasonably contemplated by any Lender, Participant or Assignee, based upon the conditions applicable on the Closing Date (in the case of the initial Lenders) or on the date such Participant or Assignee first acquires rights under this Agreement):

(i)    shall subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than Non-Excluded Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii)    shall impose, modify or hold applicable any new reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate or otherwise assessed pursuant to Section 2.10(d); or

(iii)    shall impose on such Lender any other new condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the relevant Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its written demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly certify in writing to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

32

(b)    If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written certification therefor, the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(d)    A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumed correct, subject to evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the relevant Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.15    Taxes. (a)    For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable law” includes “FATCA.”

(b)    All payments made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable shall be increased by such Loan Party as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including any such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15), the amounts received with respect to this Agreement equal the sum which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)    In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

33

(d)    As promptly as possible after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account as well as for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Loan Party or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent showing payment thereof.

(e)    The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as promptly as possible but in no event later than 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded 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 the Parent Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes that are Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(g)    

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to any Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.15(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

34

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)    any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)    in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or

(4)    to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS 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 one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

35

(C)    any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h)    Additional United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters.

(i)    Subject to (ii) below, each Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to such Lender shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

(ii)    (A) A Lender on the Closing Date that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and

(B) a Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the Closing Date that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and

36

(C) Upon satisfying either clause (A) or (B) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its obligation under paragraph (h)(i) above.

(iii)    If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (h)(ii) above, the UK Borrower(s) shall make a Borrower DTTP filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if:

(A) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or

(B) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:

(1) such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or

(2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for tax within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing;

and in each case, such UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

(iv)    If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (h)(ii) above, no UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees.

(v)    Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.

(vi)    Each Lender shall notify the Parent Borrower and Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it is ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments made by any U.K. Borrower hereunder.

(i)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any party pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall promptly pay over such refund or the amount of such credit to such indemnifying party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided that such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such indemnifying party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant

37

Governmental Authority) to such indemnified party in the event the indemnified party is required to repay such refund or the amount of such credit to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require such indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to such indemnifying party or any other Person.

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

2.16    Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (unless such notice shall have been revoked in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect to the relevant Eurocurrency Loans. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment, creation or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the relevant interbank eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the relevant Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.17    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.14 or 2.15(b) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Parent Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender exercised in good faith, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(b).

2.18    Replacement of Lenders. The Parent Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(b), (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (c) is a Specified Revolving Lender, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) in the case of clause (a) above, prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.17 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(b), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the relevant Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.16 if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the

38

Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to in Section 10.6(b)(ii)(B)), (viii) in the case of clause (a) above, until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15(b), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

2.19    Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers. The Parent Borrower may at any time, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), add as a party to this Agreement any Foreign Subsidiary to be a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 5.3, in which case such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Foreign Subsidiary Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders at least 5 Business Days prior to granting such consent, and shall withhold such consent if any such Lender (a “Specified Revolving Lender”) notifies the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days (or such longer time period as the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may reasonably agree) that it is not permitted by applicable Requirements of Law (including any requirements of the Patriot Act or any similar “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations, anti-money laundering requirements, Sanctions and local approvals) or internal policy to make Loans to the relevant Foreign Subsidiary. So long as the principal of and interest on any Loans made to any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of such Foreign Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been fully performed, the Parent Borrower may, by not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the relevant Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as a “Foreign Subsidiary Borrower”.

2.20    Incremental Credit Extensions. (a) The Parent Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request (x) one or more tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or (y) one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”), provided that (i) both at the time of any such request and after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment referred to below (including, in the case of any Incremental Term Loan, after giving effect thereto), no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) the Parent Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 7.1 determined on a pro forma basis as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered hereunder, in each case, as if such Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases, as applicable, had been outstanding on the last day of such fiscal quarter for testing compliance therewith and after giving effect to the intended use of proceeds thereof. Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $50,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $50,000,000 if (x) such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence or (y) if otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed $500,000,000. The Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans. Each notice (each, an “Incremental Facility Activation Notice”) from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20, which shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases, including, in the case

39

of Incremental Term Loans, (i) the applicable Incremental Term Maturity Date, (ii) the amortization schedule, if any, for such Incremental Term Loans, (iii) the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Loans and (iv) the proposed original issue discount applicable to such Incremental Term Loans, if any. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under Section 10.6 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed (in the case of such amendment to this Agreement) by the Parent Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. Any Incremental Amendment 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 reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the (i) execution of a New Lender Supplement by each Lender not previously party to this Agreement, and (ii) satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 and, if applicable Section 5.3 (it being understood that all references to “the date of such extension of credit” or similar language in such Section 5.2 and, if applicable, Section 5.3, shall be deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties thereto shall agree. The Parent Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases unless it so agrees. Upon each increase in the Revolving Commitments, if any, pursuant to this Section, (a) each Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Lender with a Revolving Commitment (including each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Lenders with Revolving Commitments represented by such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (b) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Revolving Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)    This Section 2.20 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.1 to the contrary.

40

2.21    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a)    facility fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.5(a);

(b)    the Revolving Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(c)    if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender and any L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)    all or any part of the L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent (i) such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (ii) the sum of all Revolving Extensions of Credit of the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders plus such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all Revolving Commitments of all non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders;

(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Parent Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)    if the Parent Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv)    if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; and

(v)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

41

(d)    if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.21(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

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

2.22    Extension Option.

(a)    The Parent Borrower may request an extension of the Revolving Termination Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Revolving Termination Date”) for additional one year periods (each, an “Extended Termination Date”); provided that (i) the Parent Borrower (A) provides written notice requesting the extension to the Administrative Agent not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date and (B) delivers to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer certifying a copy of the resolutions of each Loan Party’s board of directors (or other applicable governing body) approving the Extended Termination Date, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, (iii) no more than two extension requests shall be made and (iv) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except any representation and warranty that is qualified by “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date; provided that to the extent such representations and warranties refer specifically to an earlier date, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders of such request. Each Lender will respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its sole discretion, within ten Business Days of such notice to the Administrative Agent. If a Lender does not respond to such request within such ten Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected such request. The Commitments of those Lenders which have responded affirmatively shall be extended, subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of an amendment agreement in the form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (the “Extension Agreement”) duly completed and signed by the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders which have responded affirmatively. No extension of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.22(a) shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments have agreed to such extension.

(b)    If any Lender rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, the Parent Borrower’s request to extend its Commitment (each, a “Non-Extending Lender”), (x) this Agreement shall terminate on the applicable Existing Revolving Termination Date with respect to such Non-Extending Lender (provided that such Non-Extending Lender’s rights under Sections 2.15 and 10.5 and obligations under Section 10.14 shall survive the applicable Existing Revolving Termination Date, as to matters occurring prior to such date), (y) the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Lender on the applicable Existing Revolving

42

Termination Date any amounts due and payable hereunder to such Lender on such date and (z) the Parent Borrower may, if it so elects, designate a Person to become a Lender (provided that such Person is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), or agree with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased (each, an “Assuming Lender”), in each case to assume, effective as of the applicable Existing Revolving Termination Date, any Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitments and all of the obligations of such Non-Extending Lenders under this Agreement thereafter arising relating to such Commitments, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to such Non-Extending Lenders; provided that any such designation or agreement may not increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments under this Facility. The assumptions provided for in this Section 2.22(b) shall be subject to the conditions that:

(i)    the Assuming Lenders shall have paid to the Non-Extending Lenders the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest and fees accrued and unpaid up to but excluding the applicable Existing Revolving Termination Date, on the outstanding Loans, if any, of the Non-Extending Lenders under their respective Commitments being assumed;

(ii)    all additional costs, reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities due and payable to the Non-Extending Lenders in respect of such Commitments shall have been paid by the Parent Borrower; and

(iii)    with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and recordation fee required under Section 9.7(a) for such assignment shall have been paid by the Assuming Lender (or, if it has been so agreed, by the Parent Borrower);

On or prior to the applicable Existing Revolving Termination Date, (A) each Assuming Lender that is not an existing Lender shall have delivered to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance or such other agreement acceptable to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (B) any existing Lender assuming any Commitments shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment. Upon execution and delivery of the documentation pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) and the Extension Agreement pursuant to Section 2.22(a), the payment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.22(b), and subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act or any similar “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations with respect to Assuming Lenders that are not existing Lenders, the Assuming Lenders, as of the applicable Existing Revolving Termination Date, will be substituted for the Non-Extending Lenders under this Agreement to the extent of their assumed Commitments and shall be Lenders for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of the Non-Extending Lenders to such extent hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.

(c)    Effective as of each applicable Existing Revolving Termination Date, (i) the L/C Exposure of each applicable Non-Extending Lender shall be ratably reallocated, to the extent of the unused Revolving Commitments of the extending Revolving Lenders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Assuming Lenders), to such extending Revolving Lenders (without regard to whether the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 can then be satisfied) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Parent Borrower shall cash collateralize the balance of such L/C Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding. A Revolving Termination Date, as such term is used in reference to an outstanding Letter of Credit, may not be extended without the prior written consent of the applicable Issuing Lender.

(d)    This Section 2.22 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.1 to the contrary.

43

SECTION 3.    LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1    L/C Commitment. (a) As of the Closing Date, the letters of credit listed on Schedule 3.1 shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder and be deemed to be Letters of Credit for all purposes hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Parent Borrower or, subject to Section 3.2, any Subsidiary on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations of such Issuing Lender would exceed the L/C Commitment of such Issuing Lender then in effect, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations (as determined by the Administrative Agent) would exceed the L/C Sublimit or (iii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) provide for payment of drawings in Dollars or in a foreign currency reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance, or such longer annual periods as the Issuing Lender may agree, and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a term described in clause (x) above may provide for the renewal thereof for additional annual periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Lender, in its sole discretion, may issue one or more Letters of Credit, each with an expiration date extending beyond the Revolving Termination Date (each a “Designated Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Designated Letters of Credit”); provided that on or before the date that is 120 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, to the extent that any Designated Letter of Credit remains outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall cash collateralize the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of all Designated Letters of Credit outstanding at such time in accordance with the provisions of Section 8. In the event that the applicable Borrower fails to cash collateralize the outstanding Designated Letters of Credit by the date that is 90 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, each such outstanding Designated Letter of Credit shall automatically be deemed drawn in full and such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan to be funded by the Lenders on the date that is 90 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date to reimburse such drawing (with the proceeds of such Revolving Loan being used to cash collateralize outstanding Designated Letters of Credit as set forth above). Subject to Section 2.3 and Section 5.2 hereof, the funding by a Lender of its pro rata share of such Revolving Loan to cash collateralize the outstanding Designated Letters of Credit on the Revolving Termination Date shall be deemed payment by such Lender in respect of its participation in each such Designated Letter of Credit.

(b)    The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.2    Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Parent Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and

44

other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Parent Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Parent Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). Any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit on the same terms as the Parent Borrower is entitled to do so, in which case the Parent Borrower shall be unconditionally liable in respect thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 whether or not the Parent Borrower authorized such Subsidiary to request such Letter of Credit.

3.3    Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Parent Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurocurrency Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Parent Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

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

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating any fees payable on any Letter of Credit denominated in a foreign currency in respect of any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall convert the amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit denominated in foreign currency into an amount of Dollars based upon the relevant Exchange Rate in effect for such day. The Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of the average daily outstanding amount of any Letter of Credit denominated in a foreign currency for any period in respect of which fees are payable and, upon request by the Administrative Agent, for any other date or period. For all purposes of this Agreement, determinations by the Administrative Agent of the Dollar Equivalent of any amount expressed in a foreign currency shall be made on the basis of Exchange Rates reset monthly (or on such other periodic basis as shall be selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and shall in each case be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.4    L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Parent Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed (which obligations shall be expressed in Dollars at the Exchange Rate on the date of payment by the Issuing Lender of such draft under any Letter of Credit). Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C

45

Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Parent Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Parent Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b)    If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due (which shall be on the date of demand by the relevant Issuing Lender so long as such demand is made on or before 3:00 P.M. New York City time, otherwise on the next Business Day), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

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

3.5    Reimbursement Obligation of the Parent Borrower(a)    . (a) If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Parent Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (x) the draft so paid and (y) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 12:00 Noon, Local Time, on (i) the Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day prior to 10:00 A.M., Local Time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x), in the case of Dollar-denominated Letters of Credit including those converted pursuant to Section 3.5(b) hereof (1) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.10(b) and (2) thereafter, Section 2.10(c) and (y) in the case of foreign currency-denominated Letters of Credit, the rate which would reasonably and customarily be charged by the Issuing Lender on outstanding loans denominated in the relevant foreign currency plus, from and after the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, 2%.

46

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, prior to demanding any reimbursement from any L/C Participant in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in a foreign currency, the Issuing Lender shall convert the amount of the Parent Borrower’s obligation under Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Lender in such foreign currency into an obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender (and, in turn, the L/C Participants) in Dollars. The amount of any such converted obligation shall be computed based upon the relevant Exchange Rate (as quoted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender) in effect for the day on which such conversion occurs.

3.6    Obligations Absolute. The Parent Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Parent Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Parent Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Parent Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Parent Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Parent Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Parent Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Parent Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Parent Borrower.

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

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

3.9    Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit. If on any date the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower that, by virtue of any change in the Exchange Rate of any foreign currency in which a Letter of Credit is denominated, the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Obligations would exceed 105% of the L/C Sublimit, then, within three Business Days after the date of such notice, the Parent Borrower shall arrange to cash collateralize (in the manner set forth in Section 8) outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess.

SECTION 4.    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Parent Borrower hereby represents and warrants on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

47

4.1    Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Parent Borrower as at December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, accompanied by an unqualified report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Parent Borrower, as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the period then ended. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Borrower as at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month period ended on such date, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Parent Borrower, as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the three-month period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments). All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein), subject, in the case of the quarterly financial statements referred to in the preceding sentence, to the normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

4.2    No Change. Since December 31, 2019 there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3    Existence; Compliance with Law. (a) The Parent Borrower (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply with clauses (iii) and (iv) above could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    Each Group Member (other than the Parent Borrower) (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply with clauses (i) through (iv) above could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4    Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

48

4.5    No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member, except to the extent that any such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation.

4.6    Litigation. Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 4.6, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7    Ownership of Property. Each Group Member has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real and personal property material to its business, in each case except for defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

4.8    Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property to the extent necessary and material for the conduct of the business of the Group Members, taken as a whole, as currently conducted. No claim by any Person has been asserted in writing and is pending that challenges or questions the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the Parent Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9    Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material income tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all Federal, state and other material taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member); no material tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, no material claim is being asserted, with respect to any such material tax, fee or other charge, except in each case as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10    Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used in violation of the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

49

4.11    Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Group Member.

4.12    ERISA; Employee Benefit plans. (a) Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, (i) neither a Reportable Event nor a non-exempt Prohibited Transaction has occurred with respect to any Plan; (ii) each Plan has complied in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code; (iii) no Plan has failed to satisfy the minimum funding standards (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) applicable to such Plan, whether or not waived; (iv) there has been no failure to make by its due date a required installment under Section 430(j) of the Code with respect to any Plan; (v) no termination of a Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, and (vi) there has been no determination that any Plan is, or is expected to be, in “at risk” status within the meaning of Section 430 of the Code or Section 303 of ERISA. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Plan did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits (determined in both cases using the assumptions applicable thereto promulgated under Section 430 of the Code) in an amount that, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The projections contained in the materials referenced above have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by management of the Parent Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being understood that such projections as they relate to future events are not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

(b)    As of the Closing Date, to the best knowledge of the Parent Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Closing Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects.

4.18    Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions.

(i)    (i) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), shall become, or obtain rights (whether by means or warrants, options or otherwise) to become, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 35% of the outstanding common stock of the Parent Borrower, except as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 7.4(c); (ii) the board of directors of the Parent Borrower shall cease to consist of a majority of Continuing Directors; or (iii) any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall cease to be a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower;

Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Parent Borrower.

SECTION 9.    THE AGENTS

9.1    Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such

62

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

9.2    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3    Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

9.4    Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Parent Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5    Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has

63

received notice from a Lender or the Parent Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6    Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

9.7    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent-Related Person”) in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Parent Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Parent Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

64

9.8    Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9    Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Parent Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.10    Documentation Agents and Syndication Agents. Neither the Documentation Agents nor the Syndication Agents shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

SECTION 10.    MISCELLANEOUS

10.1    Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) reduce or forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any principal payment in respect of any Incremental Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility)

65

and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment of any interest or fee payable hereunder, or increase the amount of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment without the written consent of each Revolving Lender directly affected thereby (it being agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1, such extension may be effected without the approval of the Required Lenders); (iii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iv) with respect to a particular Facility, change the ratable allocation of payments among the Lenders under such Facility specified in Section 2.13 without the written consent of each such Lender directly affected thereby; (v) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Parent Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as is expressly provided for in Section 10.6(f)) or release the Parent Borrower from its obligations under Section 11 of this Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (vi) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (vii) amend, waive or modify any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.2 with respect to any extensions of credit under the Revolving Facility without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders under such Facility; (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; or (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the written consent of the Issuing Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. In furtherance of clause (vii) of this Section 10.1, (i) any amendment, waiver or modification with respect to Section 7.1 or (ii) any amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document at a time when a Default or Event of Default is in existence, and that would have the effect of eliminating such Default or Event of Default, shall in each case not be deemed to be effective for the purpose of determining whether the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 to the making of any extension of credit under the Revolving Facility have been satisfied unless the Majority Facility Lenders under such Facility shall have consented to such amendment, waiver or modification.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Majority Facility Lenders.

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Parent Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense, elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement (or to replace such Non-Consenting Lender from the Facility for which consent is being sought); provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is

66

reasonably satisfactory to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, with respect to assignees that are Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Lender shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b)(ii) of Section 10.6 (with the Parent Borrower paying any applicable processing and recordation fee), (ii) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iii) the Parent Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Parent Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.15 (assuming that the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender have been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender).

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Parent Borrower, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any technical and immaterial errors and omissions or correct any typographical error or other manifest error or omissions in any Loan Document. Further, the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower may amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.12(b), and the Parent Borrower, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to make any amendments to the extent necessary to effectuate clause (B) of Section 2.12(a); provided that any such amendment shall be provided to the Lenders.

10.2    Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent in the case of the Lenders, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

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

10.4    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

10.5    Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Parent Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Parent Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate; provided that (i) with respect to legal counsel, the Parent Borrower shall only be required to reimburse the reasonable fees and disbursements of a single law firm for the Administrative Agent and any local counsel as shall be reasonably necessary (subject to any limitations agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) any written request for reimbursement shall list in reasonable detail all expenses as to which reimbursement is being requested, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents related to the Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees, (d) to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) not to assert, and the Parent Borrower and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii) not to assert, and each other party hereto agrees not to assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, 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 or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or

Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in clause (e) below, against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party and (e) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, Issuing Lender and Agent, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all Liabilities and related expenses with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any Proceeding regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the same are brought by a Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (e), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Parent Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) a material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations under the Loan Documents, and provided, further, that this Section 10.5(d) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all Liabilities and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted in writing to John K. Stipancich (Telephone No.  ###-###-####) (Email: ***@***), at the address of the Parent Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Parent Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6    Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (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 the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than as is expressly provided for in Section 10.6(f), the Parent Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Parent 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 this Section.

(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees, other than to a natural person, (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

(A)    the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided,

69

further, that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Parent Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received written notice thereof and a written request for such consent stating that the Parent Borrower will be deemed to have given consent to such assignment unless it shall have objected in writing within ten Business Days;

(B)    the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)    in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided no consent of the Issuing Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment to a Revolving Lender.

(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (in the case of Term Loans) and $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Loans and/or the Revolving Commitment of any Lender) unless each of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (to be paid by the relevant Lender, except as provided in Section 2.18), provided that contemporaneous assignments to a Person and its affiliates or Approved Funds shall be deemed to be a single assignment for the purposes of this clause (B); and

(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means 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) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

70

(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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.

(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Parent Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may 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 Parent Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time, subject to reasonable advance notice.

(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption 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 Assumption 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)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than competitors of any Group Member) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments 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 Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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 pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. The Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(g) and (h) (it being understood that

71

the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and documentation required under Section 2.15(h) will be delivered to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(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.

(e)    The Parent Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f)    Upon at least 15 days’ advance written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower may assign all of its rights hereunder; provided that (i) immediately after the consummation of such transaction, the Capital Stock of the Person to whom the Parent Borrower’s rights have been assigned (the “Successor Borrower”) is held, directly or indirectly, by the Persons who held the Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, in substantially the same percentages, (ii) the Successor Borrower is a corporation incorporated under the laws of any state of the United States of America, (iii) the Successor Borrower shall own (directly or indirectly, including through Subsidiaries), at the time of such assignment, all or substantially all of the assets owned by the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, (iv) the Successor Borrower shall have assumed the Parent Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the Successor Borrower shall have become a party to this Agreement by executing a Joinder Agreement, (vi) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such assignment and (vii) the Administrative Agent shall have received such evidence of good standing, corporate authority and the authorization of such assignment, delegation and assumption and such opinions of counsel as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested.

72

10.7    Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility (with nothing in Section 8 being deemed to constitute such an allocation), if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the obligations owing to it under any Loan Document by any Borrower (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to any other Lender, if any, in respect of such obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of such obligations owing to each such other Lender, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b)    In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, with the consent of the Required Lenders but without prior notice to any Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(f), to set off and appropriate and apply against any amount under this Agreement then due and owing to such Lender any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.8    Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of (a) this Agreement, (b) any other Loan Document and/or (c) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative

(a) The Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in a specified currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or a Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

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

SECTION 11.    GUARANTEE

11.1    Guarantee. The Parent Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely a surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Foreign Borrower Obligations.

(a)    Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the Parent Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the Parent Borrower under applicable federal laws, state laws or the laws of any other jurisdiction relating to the insolvency of debtors.

(b)    The guarantee contained in this Section 11 shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the Foreign Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement any Borrower may be free from any obligations; provided that at such time as the Foreign Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the guarantee and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Parent Borrower under this Section 11 shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(c)    No payment made by any Borrower or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Foreign Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Parent Borrower hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by the Parent Borrower in respect of the Foreign Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from the Parent Borrower in respect of the Foreign Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Foreign Borrower Obligations until such time as the Foreign Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding.

78

11.2    No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by the Parent Borrower hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of the Parent Borrower by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Parent Borrower shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Foreign Borrower Obligations, nor shall the Parent Borrower seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower in respect of payments made by the Parent Borrower hereunder, until, in each case, Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Foreign Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Parent Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of the Parent Borrower, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Parent Borrower, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Parent Borrower (duly indorsed by the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Foreign Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

11.3    Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Foreign Borrower Obligations. The Parent Borrower shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Parent Borrower and without notice to or further assent by the Parent Borrower, any demand for payment of any of the Foreign Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Foreign Borrower Obligations continued, and the Foreign Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Foreign Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.

11.4    Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Parent Borrower waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Foreign Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 11 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 11; the Foreign Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 11; and all dealings between the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 11. The Parent Borrower waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower with respect to the Foreign Borrower Obligations. The Parent Borrower understands and agrees that to the fullest extent permitted by law, the guarantee contained in this Section 11 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment, and not merely of collection, without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Foreign Borrower Obligations or any other guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Foreign Subsidiary

79

Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or the Parent Borrower as guarantor hereunder) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower for the Foreign Borrower Obligations, or of the Parent Borrower under the guarantee contained in this Section 11, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Person (including by way of any right of offset), and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Person or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Person or failure to exercise any such right of offset, shall not relieve the Parent Borrower of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Parent Borrower. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

11.5    Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 11 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Foreign Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Foreign Subsidiary Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

11.6    Payments. The Parent Borrower hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the Funding Office.

11.7    Subsidiary Guarantors. The Parent Borrower may at any time make any Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary a Subsidiary Guarantor upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Section 11.7, in which case such Subsidiary shall for all purposes be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. A Domestic Subsidiary that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of:

(a)    a Subsidiary Guarantee (or, if applicable, a joinder to an existing Subsidiary Guarantee in substantially the form attached to such Subsidiary Guarantee), executed and delivered by such Domestic Subsidiary;

(b)    a certificate of such Domestic Subsidiary, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with appropriate insertions and attachments; and

(c)    a customary legal opinion of counsel to such Domestic Subsidiary, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
