The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic or facsimile notice given by any Person it in good faith believes is an authorized representative of the Borrower without the necessity of independent investigation and that, if any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.

(d) Notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic, telex or facsimile notice to each Lender of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.3 relating to a Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender by like

means of the interest rate applicable to each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans (but, if such notice is given by telephone, the Administrative Agent shall confirm such rate in writing) promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.

(e) Borrower’s Failure to Notify. If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of (i) the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, or (ii) a Borrowing of Revolving Loans to pay outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, and has not notified the Administrative Agent by (A) 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans funded in U.S. Dollars, (B) 12:00 P.M. at least four (4) Business Days before the last day of the Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans funded in Euros, Pounds or Canadian Dollars (with a copy of any such notice to be sent simultaneously to the Sub-Agent), (C) 4:00 P.M. (London time) at least four (4) Business Days before the last day of the Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans funded in any Specified Currency (with a copy of any such notice to be sent simultaneously to the Sub-Agent), or (D) the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due, as the case may be, that it intends to repay such Borrowing or Reimbursement Obligation, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested, as applicable, (x) the continuation of such Borrowing as a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month or (y) the advance of a new Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (after converting, if necessary, the Reimbursement Obligation into Dollars using the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on such date) on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing pursuant to this clause (y) shall be deemed to have been funded on such date by the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and to have been applied on such day to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due, or to repay the Lenders that funded their participation in such Reimbursement Obligation, as applicable, in each case so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such Borrowing but otherwise disregarding the conditions to Borrowings set forth in Section 4.2. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon notice thereof from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (i) each Eurocurrency Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to convert Loans into Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended.

(f) Conversion. If the Borrower shall elect to convert any particular Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3 from one Type of Loan to the other only in part, then, from and after the date on which such conversion shall be effective, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence) be deemed to instead constitute two Borrowings (each originally advanced on the same date as such particular Borrowing), one comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurocurrency Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Eurocurrency Loans and the second comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower shall elect to have multiple Interest Periods apply to any such particular Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Loans, then, from and after the date such multiple Interest Periods commence, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to constitute a number of separate Borrowings (each originally commencing on the same date as such particular Borrowing) equal to the number of, and corresponding to, the different Interest Periods so selected, each such deemed separate Borrowing corresponding to a particular selected Interest Period comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurocurrency Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to have such Interest Period. This Section 2.3(f) shall be applied appropriately in the event that the Borrower shall make the elections described in the two preceding sentences at the same time with respect to the same particular Borrowing.

Section 2.4 Interest Periods. As provided in Section 2.3, at the time of each request for a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, or for the continuation or conversion of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrower shall select the Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Loans from among the available options, subject to the limitations in Section 2.3; provided, however, that:

(i) the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that extends beyond the Commitment Termination Date;

(ii) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall either be (i) extended to the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans only, reduced to the immediately preceding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month; and

(iii) for purposes of determining an Interest Period, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in the month in which an Interest Period is to end or if an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then in the case of Eurocurrency Loans only, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end.

Section 2.5 Funding of Loans.

(a) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 12:00 P.M. with respect to Borrowings in U.S. Dollars of Eurocurrency Loans, and 3:00 P.M. with respect to Base Rate Loans, on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Loans, each Lender, subject to all other provisions hereof, shall make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office its Loan comprising its portion of such Borrowing in funds immediately available for the benefit of the Administrative Agent in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account and according to the payment instructions of the Administrative Agent. Not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time) with respect to a new Borrowing in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars, or Kroner, on the date of any such requested Borrowing, each Lender, subject to all other provisions hereof, shall make available its portion of such Borrowing in funds immediately available for the benefit of the Administrative Agent in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account and according to the payment instructions of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each such Borrowing available in immediately available funds to the Borrower (or as directed in writing by the Borrower) on such date. Acceptance by the Borrower of any late amount shall not be deemed a waiver by the Borrower of any rights it may have against any Lender making funds available after the time prescribed above. No Lender shall be responsible to the Borrower for any failure by another Lender to fund its portion of a Borrowing, and no such failure by a Lender shall relieve any other Lender from its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of a Borrowing.

(b) Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the time at which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and in reliance upon such assumption may (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on

demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon for each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for such amount. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but the Borrower will in no event be liable to pay any amounts otherwise due pursuant to Section 2.11 in respect of such repayment. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from any obligation to fund any Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.6 Applicable Interest Rates.

(a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Eurocurrency Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Borrowings. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(b) Eurocurrency Loans. Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, except with respect to Eurocurrency Loans funded in Pounds, in which case interest will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, in each case excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or until conversion to a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Borrowings. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Base Rate Loan.

(c) Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations hereunder insofar as such interest rate involves a determination of the Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR, or LIBOR Rate, or any applicable default rate pursuant to Section 2.7, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of the Administrative Agent’s manifest error or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of each determination of Adjusted LIBOR, with respect to each Eurocurrency Loan.

Section 2.7 Default Rate. If any payment of principal on any Loan is not made when due after the expiration of the grace period therefor provided in Section 7.1(a) (whether by acceleration or otherwise), or any Reimbursement Obligation is not paid when due as provided in Section 2.12(c), such Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed) after any such grace period expires until such principal then due is paid in full, which the Borrower agrees to pay on demand, at a rate per annum equal to:

(a) for any Base Rate Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of (x) two percent (2%) per annum, plus (y) the rate of interest in effect on such Base Rate Loan as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(a);

(b) for any Eurocurrency Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of (x) two percent (2%) per annum, plus (y) the rate of interest in effect on such Eurocurrency Loan as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(b) at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period for such Loan and, thereafter, at a rate per annum pursuant to this clause (y) equal to (x) in the case of any Loans made in Dollars, the rate of interest as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(a) (but not less than the rate in effect as provided in Section 2.6(a) at the time such payment was due), or (y) in the case of any Loans made in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars or Kroners, the interest rate that would otherwise then be applicable under this Agreement to a Eurocurrency Loan made in such currency for an Interest Period of one month as from time to time in effect (but not less than such interest rate in effect at the time such payment was due); and

(c) for any unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus (x) in the case of any Reimbursement Obligations payable in Dollars, the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Alternate Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due), or (y) in the case of any Reimbursement Obligations payable in any currency other than Dollars, the interest rate that would otherwise then be applicable under this Agreement to a Eurocurrency Loan made in such currency for an Interest Period of one month as from time to time in effect (but not less than such interest rate in effect at the time such payment was due).

It is the intention of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to them. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or other Obligation would be usurious as to any of the Lenders under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document or otherwise shall under no circumstances exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and any excess shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans or to the Reimbursement Obligations (or, if the principal amount of the Loans and all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder or holders thereof resulting from any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender may never include more than the Highest Lawful Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement, the Notes, any other Credit Document or otherwise shall be automatically canceled by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans or to the Reimbursement Obligations (or if the principal amount of the Loans and all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). To the extent that the Texas Finance Code, Chapters 302 and 303, are relevant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby elect to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter by the indicated (weekly) rate ceiling from time to time in effect, subject to their right subsequently to change such method in accordance with applicable law. In the event the Loans and all Reimbursement Obligations are paid in full by the Borrower prior to the full stated term of the Loans and the interest received from the actual period of the existence of the Loans exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the Lenders shall refund to the Borrower the amount of the excess or shall credit the amount of the excess against amounts owing under the Loans and none of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be subject to any of the penalties provided by law for contracting for, taking, reserving, charging or receiving interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. The Texas Finance Code, Chapter 346, which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts, shall not apply to this Agreement or the Loans.

Section 2.8 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, on the Commitment Termination Date, the unpaid amount of each Revolving Loan then outstanding.

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

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

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

(e) Notes. The Revolving Loans outstanding to the Borrower from each Lender shall, at the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower payable to such Lender in the form of Exhibit 2.8A (Master Note) or, if such Lender so requests in writing, by one or more individual promissory notes of the Borrower in similar form but payable in the specific foreign currencies in which the Loans may be funded (each a “Note”). The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender requesting one or more promissory notes as aforesaid, an original of each such promissory note, appropriately completed, to evidence the respective Loans made by such Lender hereunder, within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower receives a written request therefor.

(f) Recording of Loans and Payments on Notes. Each holder of a Note shall record on its books and records or on a schedule to its appropriate Note (and prior to any transfer of its Notes shall endorse thereon or on schedules forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence) the amount of each Loan outstanding from it to the Borrower, all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon, the type of such Loan and, if a Eurocurrency Loan the Interest Period and interest rate applicable thereto. Such record, whether shown on the books and records of a holder of a Note or on a schedule to its Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such matters; provided, however, that the failure of any holder to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans outstanding to it hereunder together with accrued interest thereon. At the request of any holder of a Note and upon such holder tendering to the Borrower the Note to be replaced, the Borrower shall furnish a new Note to such holder to replace any outstanding Note and at such time the first notation appearing on the schedule on the reverse side of, or attached to, such new Note shall set forth the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans, if any, then outstanding thereon.

Section 2.9 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Base Rate Loans without premium or penalty at any time in whole or at any time and from time to time in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $1,000,000); provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. on the date of such prepayment. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Eurocurrency Borrowing (a) without premium or penalty in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than the Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple or such smaller amount as needed to prepay a particular Borrowing in full) only on the last Business Day of an Interest Period for such Borrowing, and (b) at any other time without premium or penalty except for the breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. (or, if such notice is being given in respect of Loans denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, 11:00 A.M. London time) at least three (3) Business Days before the last Business Day of such Interest Period or the proposed prepayment date. Any such prepayments shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment. Unless otherwise specified in writing by the Borrower, optional prepayments shall be applied first, to the Revolving Loans, second, to the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, and third to any other Obligations then outstanding.

Section 2.10 Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. In the event and on each occasion that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect, then the Borrower shall promptly prepay Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. Immediately upon determining the need to make any such prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such required prepayment and of the identity of the particular Revolving Loans being prepaid. If the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Administrative Agent has determined that any prepayment is required under this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall make such prepayment no later than the second Business Day following such notice. Any mandatory prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant hereto shall not be limited by the notice provision for prepayments set forth in Section 2.9. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans prepaid and any applicable breakage fees and funding losses pursuant to Section 2.11.

Section 2.11 Breakage Fees. If any Lender incurs any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits and other indirect or consequential damages) by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan as a result of any of the following events other than any such occurrence as a result of a change of circumstance described in Sections 8.1 or 8.2:

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any such Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period (whether by acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise);

(b) any failure to make a principal payment of any such Loan on the due date therefor; or

(c) any failure by the Borrower to borrow, continue or prepay, or convert to, any such Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.3 (other than by reason of a default of such Lender),

then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or

expense) no later than ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation, and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be prima facie evidence of such Lender’s entitlement thereto. Within ten (10) days of receipt of such certificate, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such amount as will compensate such Lender for such loss, cost or expense as provided herein, unless such Lender has failed to timely give notice to the Borrower of such claim for compensation as provided herein, in which event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim.

Section 2.12 Letters of Credit.

(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, any applicable requirements of Section 2.14, each Issuing Bank agrees, severally and not jointly, to issue, from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, at the request of the Borrower and on behalf of the Lenders and in reliance on their obligations under this Section 2.12, one or more letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for the Borrower’s account in a face amount in each case of at least $500,000 or, if denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000, and in an aggregate undrawn face amount for all Letters of Credit at any time outstanding not to exceed the applicable Letter of Credit Maximum Amount; provided, that no Issuing Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.12 if, after the issuance thereof, (i) the outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations would thereby exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount (determined in accordance with Section 10.19) then in effect, (ii) the aggregate undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding would at any time thereafter (giving effect to the respective scheduled expiration dates thereof and any automatic extensions provided therein) exceed the Letter of Credit Maximum Amount scheduled to be in effect at any such time thereafter (giving effect to any reductions resulting from the scheduled expiration of the Commitments of Declining Lenders not offset by new or increased Commitments of Replacement Lenders or Extending Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16), or (iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any legal or regulatory restriction then applicable to such Issuing Bank or any Lender as notified by such Issuing Bank or such Lender to the Administrative Agent before the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Letters of Credit and any increases and extensions thereof hereunder may be issued in face amounts of either Dollars, Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars or Kroner; provided further, that the Dollar Equivalent amount of the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars and Kroner determined, with respect to each such Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit, in accordance with Section 10.19 on the date such Revolving Loan is funded, continued or converted, or the date such Letter of Credit is issued, increased and extended, as applicable, shall not exceed in the aggregate the Foreign Currency Sublimit.

(b) Issuance Procedure. To request that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (with a duplicate copy to an operations employee of such Issuing Bank as designated by such Issuing Bank from time to time) a duly executed Issuance Request substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.12A (each an “Issuance Request”), together with a duly executed application for the relevant Letter of Credit substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.12B (each an “Application”), or such other computerized issuance or application procedure, instituted from time to time by such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent and agreed to by the Borrower, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, and such other information as such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. In the event of any irreconcilable difference or inconsistency between this Agreement and an Application, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Upon receipt of a properly completed and executed Application and any other reasonably requested information at least three (3) Business Days prior to any requested issuance date, such Issuing Bank will process such Application in accordance with its customary procedures and, subject to the Borrower’s compliance with any applicable requirements of Section 2.14, issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. The Borrower may

cancel any requested issuance of a Letter of Credit prior to the issuance thereof. The Issuing Bank will notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender of the amount, currency, and expiration date of each Letter of Credit it issues promptly upon issuance thereof. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date no later than four (4) Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date. If any Issuing Bank issues any Letters of Credit with expiration dates that automatically extend unless such Issuing Bank gives notice that the expiration date will not so extend, such Issuing Bank will give such notice of non-renewal before the time necessary to prevent such automatic extension if (and will not give such notice of non-renewal before such time unless) before such required notice date (i) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit if so extended would be later than four (4) Business Days before the Commitment Termination Date, (ii) the Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred, (iii) a Default or an Event of Default exists and the Required Lenders have given such Issuing Bank instructions not to so permit the expiration date of such Letter of Credit to be extended, or (iv) such Issuing Bank is so directed by the Borrower. Each Issuing Bank agrees to issue amendments to any Letter of Credit issued by it increasing its amount, or extending its expiration date, at the request of the Borrower, subject to the conditions precedent for all Borrowings of Section 4.2 and the other terms and conditions of this Section 2.12, including without limitation, any applicable requirements of Section 2.14.

(i) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to reimburse each Issuing Bank for each payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Bank to settle its obligations under any draft drawn or other payment made under a Letter of Credit (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) within two (2) Business Days from when such draft is paid or other payment is made with either funds not borrowed hereunder or with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans subject to Section 2.3 and the other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. The Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such draft is paid or other payment is made until (but excluding the date) the Reimbursement Obligation is paid at the lesser of (x) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (y) the Alternate Base Rate (in the case of a Letter of Credit payable in Dollars) or the rate of interest that would then be applicable hereunder to a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of a Letter of Credit payable in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars or Kroner), in each case so long as the Reimbursement Obligation shall not be past due, and thereafter at the default rate per annum as set forth in Section 2.7(c), whether or not the Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred. If any such payment or disbursement is reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on the date such payment or disbursement is made by such Issuing Bank, interest shall be paid on the reimbursable amount for one (1) day. Each Issuing Bank shall give the Borrower notice of any drawing on a Letter of Credit issued by it within one (1) Business Day after such drawing is paid.

(ii) The Borrower agrees for the benefit of each Issuing Bank and each Lender that, notwithstanding any provision of any Application, the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.12(c) and each applicable Application shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each applicable Application under all circumstances whatsoever (other than the defense of payment in accordance with this Agreement), including, without limitation, the following circumstances (subject in all cases to the defense of payment in accordance with this Agreement):

(1) any lack of validity or enforceability of any of the L/C Documents;

(2) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to depart from all or any of the provisions of any of the L/C Documents;

(3) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any person for whom a beneficiary may be acting), any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, another L/C Document or any unrelated transaction;

(4) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(5) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation to such Issuing Bank of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; or

(6) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.12(c), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder, under an Issuance Request or under an Application;

provided, however, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (but excluding consequential damages, which are hereby waived to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) The Participating Interests. Each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to purchase from each Issuing Bank, and each Issuing Bank hereby agrees to sell to each Lender, an undivided percentage participating interest, to the extent of its Percentage, in each Letter of Credit issued by, and Reimbursement Obligation owed to, such Issuing Bank in connection with a Letter of Credit. Upon any failure by the Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation in connection with a Letter of Credit at the time required in Sections 2.12(c) and 2.3(e), or if any Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation in connection with a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly give notice of same to each Lender, and such Issuing Bank shall have the right to require each Lender to fund its participation in such Reimbursement Obligation. Each Lender (except the Issuing Bank for the applicable Letter of Credit to the extent it is also a Lender) shall pay to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured Reimbursement Obligation not later than the Business Day it receives notice from such Issuing Bank to such effect, if such notice is received before 2:00 P.M., or not later than the following Business Day if such notice is received after such time. If a Lender fails to pay timely such amount to any Issuing Bank, it shall also pay to such Issuing Bank interest on such amount accrued from the date payment of such amount was made by such Issuing Bank to the date of such payment by the Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds, such rate to be applicable until the second Business Day after such payment by such Issuing Bank and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate in effect for each such day, and only after such payment shall such Lender be entitled to receive its Percentage of each payment received on the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon. The several obligations of the Lenders to each Issuing Bank under this Section 2.12(d) shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment any Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, such Issuing Bank, and any other Lender or any other Person whatsoever including, but not limited to, any defense based on the failure of the demand for payment under the Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit or the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit and INCLUDING, BUT NOT

LIMITED TO, THOSE RESULTING FROM SUCH ISSUING BANK’S OWN SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any subsequent reduction or termination of any Commitment of a Lender, and each payment by a Lender under this Section 2.12 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Application related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

Section 2.13 Commitment Terminations. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior and irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate or reduce the Commitments without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, with any partial reduction (i) to be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 as determined by the Borrower and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 and (ii) as to the Commitments to be allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments; provided, that the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations, after converting, if necessary, any such outstanding Obligations to their Dollar Equivalent amounts in accordance with Section 10.19 and after giving effect to payments on such proposed termination or reduction date, except, in the case of L/C Obligations, to the extent the Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such shortage or back to back letters of credit from a bank(s) or financial institution(s) whose short-term unsecured debt rating is rated A or above from either S&P or Moody’s or such other bank(s) or financial institution(s) satisfactory to the Required Lenders in an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of any applicable outstanding Letters of Credit with an expiration date of at least five (5) days after the expiration date of any applicable Letter of Credit and which provide that the Administrative Agent may make a drawing thereunder in the event that it pays a drawing under such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination or reduction of the Commitments. Any termination of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13 is permanent and may not be reinstated.

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

(a) if any L/C Obligations exist or are outstanding at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Borrower shall, following notice by the Administrative Agent, provide to the Administrative Agent sufficient cash (through a blocked demand deposit account which the Borrower shall have established within thirty days of the First Amendment Effective Date) to fully collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.4 for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding (with such cash collateral to be provided to the Administrative Agent with respect to such L/C Obligations outstanding as of the First Amendment Effective Date, or outstanding within thirty days thereafter, not later than thirty days after the First Amendment Effective Date, and for all L/C Obligations outstanding thereafter, not later than one Business Day after notice by the Administrative Agent), and (ii) to the extent cash collateral has been provided to the Administrative Agent and is being held by the Administrative Agent for such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to the preceding clause (i), for purposes of determining the Letter of

Credit fees that would otherwise be payable by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and (d), the Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the L/C Obligations on which such fees are otherwise determined shall be reduced by the amount of such cash collateral;

(b) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.14(a); and

(c) subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent of the written consent from each Lender (including the affected Defaulting Lender) as to the following actions, the Borrower, upon not less than 10 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and with the written approval of the Administrative Agent, (i) may terminate the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender and thereby reduce the total Commitments then in effect by a corresponding amount, and (ii) in such event shall pay to such Defaulting Lender, on a non-pro rata basis, all principal and accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Loans held by such Defaulting Lender and other amounts which such Defaulting Lender may then be owed pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.15, 3.1, 3.3, 8.3 and 10.13; provided, however, that no such actions shall be taken if (x) any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing or would result therefrom, (y) the condition to a Borrowing on such date pursuant to Section 4.2(b) would not be satisfied on such date, or (z) if the Revolving Credit Exposure of any remaining Lender, after giving effect to such termination of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, would exceed such remaining Lender’s Commitment then in effect. Upon any such termination, the respective Percentage of each remaining Lender shall be adjusted to reflect such reduction in the total Commitments then in effect, and each remaining Lender’s obligations to the Issuing Banks in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding shall be reallocated among all remaining Lenders in accordance with such adjusted Percentages; provided, however, that if such reallocation cannot be fully effected for any reason, the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent cash collateral for all such non-reallocated obligations in the same manner as provided in clause (a) above. All indemnities and reimbursement obligations as provided in Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and repayment pursuant to this Section 2.14(c).

Section 2.15 Additional Interest Costs.

(a) Mandatory Costs. If and so long as any Lender is required to make special deposits to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans in any currency other than Dollars, such Lender may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Loans, additional interest on such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Mandatory Costs calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Exhibit 2.15 hereto.

(b) Other Requirements for Additional Interest. 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 Bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Statutory Reserve Rate or the Mandatory Costs) in respect of any of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Loans in any currency other than Dollars, such Lender may require the 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.

(c) Determination of Amounts Due. Any additional interest owed pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be determined by the relevant Lender and notified to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) 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 Borrower by such Lender shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

(d) Limitation on Amounts Due. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(c), failure or delay on the part of any Lender on any occasion to demand additional interest pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such additional interest on any subsequent occasion.

Section 2.16 Extensions of Commitment Termination Date. No earlier than 90 days and at least 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower may (but in no event on more than two occasions during the term of this Agreement), by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Commitment Termination Date then in effect be extended for a 1-year period. On each such occasion, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request. If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice of its agreement to do so no earlier than 30 days prior to such anniversary date and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such Extending Lender’s agreement to extend its Commitment (and such agreement shall be irrevocable until such anniversary date). The Commitment of any Lender that fails to accept or respond to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (without regard to any extension by other Lenders) and on such Commitment Termination Date the Borrower shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Extending Lender of the aggregate Commitments of the Declining Lenders. Each Extending Lender may offer to increase its respective Commitment by an aggregate amount up to the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Commitments and such Extending Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice of its offer to so increase its Commitment no later than 15 days prior to such anniversary date (and such offer shall be irrevocable until such anniversary date). To the extent the aggregate amount of extended Commitments is less than the aggregate amount of Commitments so requested to be extended pursuant to the foregoing, the Borrower shall have the right to require any Declining Lender to (and any such Declining Lender shall) assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (a “Replacement Lender”) become a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 10.10(b), (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such assignment shall be effective on the date on or before such anniversary date as may be specified by the Borrower and agreed to by the Replacement Lenders or the Extending Lenders, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent. If, but only if, Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders have agreed to provide Commitments in an aggregate amount greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments outstanding immediately prior to such anniversary date, the Commitment Termination Date of such Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders shall be extended by one year.

ARTICLE 3 FEES AND PAYMENTS.

Section 3.1 Fees.

(a) Facility Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Facility Fee Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on December 31, 2007, on the date(s) on which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Lenders shall have no further Revolving Credit Exposures, and on the Maturity Date. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. Commencing upon the date of issuance, increase or extension of any Letter of Credit and thereafter on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (of each year, commencing on December 31, 2007), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent quarterly in advance, for the period until the next Letter of Credit fee payment date, for the ratable account of the Lenders, a non-refundable fee payable in Dollars equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Borrowings multiplied by the outstanding face amount or increase of such Letter of Credit during such upcoming period calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed and based on the then scheduled expiration date of the Letter of Credit; provided, however, that fees applicable to bid/performance Letters of Credit (other than any Letter of Credit supporting repayment of payment/financial obligations in the nature of a financial standby Letter of Credit) shall be payable at a rate equal to 60% of such Applicable Margin. For any Letter of Credit issued with a face amount in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars or Kroner, the fees shall be converted into Dollars using the applicable Exchange Rate in effect two (2) Business Days before the issuance date thereof, and thereafter five (5) Business Days before any fee with respect thereto shall be due and payable hereunder. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank solely for such Issuing Bank’s account, in connection with each Letter of Credit, issuance and administrative fees, fronting fees and expenses for Letters of Credit issued by it as agreed from time to time between such Issuing Bank and the Borrower.

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and to the Co-Lead Arrangers the fees from time to time agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and Co-Lead Arrangers, as the case may be.

(d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees and Letter of Credit fees (other than issuance and administrative fees payable to each Issuing Bank), to the Lenders.

Section 3.2 Place and Application of Payments.

(a) All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Credit Documents shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks entitled to such payments, in immediately available funds on the due date thereof (i) in the case of payments in U.S. Dollars, no later than 2:00 P.M. in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower, and (ii) in the case of payments in Euros, Pounds, Australian

Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars, or Kroner, no later than 11:00 A.M. (at the office of the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account for payments in such currency) in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower after the time specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. If the Borrower does not, or is unable for any reason to, effect payment of a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation to the Lenders in the applicable currency or if the Borrower shall default in the payment when due of any payment in such currency, the Lenders may, at their option, require such payment to be made to the Lenders in the Dollar Equivalent of such currency determined in accordance with Section 10.19. With respect to any amount due and payable in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars or Kroner, the Borrower agrees to hold the Lenders harmless from any losses, if any, that are incurred by the Lenders arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to such currency between the date such payment became due and the date of payment thereof (other than losses incurred by any Lender due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender). The Administrative Agent will, on the same day each payment is received or deemed to have been received in accordance with this Section 3.2, cause to be distributed like funds in like currency to each Lender owed an Obligation for which such payment was received, pro rata based on the respective amounts of such type of Obligation then owing to each Lender.

(b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order set forth in Section 7.7. In calculating the amount of Obligations owing each Lender other than for principal and interest on Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and fees under Section 3.1, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to include such other Obligations that Lenders have certified to the Administrative Agent in writing are due to such Lenders.

Section 3.3 Withholding Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 3.3(b), each payment by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to any Lender, Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower or such Loan Party is organized, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower or such Loan Party makes any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding, in the case of each Lender, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, the following taxes:

(i) taxes imposed on, based upon, or measured by such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s net income or profits, and branch profits, franchise and similar taxes imposed on it;

(ii) taxes imposed on such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent as a result of a present or former connection between the taxing jurisdiction and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent, or any affiliate thereof, as the case may be, other than a connection resulting solely from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) taxes imposed as a result of the transfer by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent of its interest in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or a designation by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (other than pursuant to Section 8.3(c)) of a new Lending Office (other than taxes imposed as a result of any change in treaty, law or regulation after such transfer of such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s interest in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or designation of a new Lending Office);

(iv) taxes imposed by the United States of America (or any political subdivision thereof or tax authority therein) upon a Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, except to the extent that such tax is imposed as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty (other than any addition of or change in any “anti-treaty shopping,” “limitation of benefits,” or similar provision applicable to a treaty) after the date hereof, in the case of each Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent originally a party hereto or, in the case of any Purchasing Lender (as defined in Section 10.10) or other Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, after the date on which it becomes a Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be; or

(v) taxes which would not have been imposed but for (a) the failure of any Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to provide (I) the applicable forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, as required pursuant to Section 3.3(b), or (II) any other form, certification, documentation or proof which is reasonably requested by the Borrower, or (b) a determination by a taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction that a form, certification, documentation or other proof provided by such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to establish an exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge is false;

(all such present or future taxes, excluding only the taxes described in the preceding clauses (i) through (v), being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent is free and clear of such Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) and is equal to the amount that such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had withholding of any Indemnified Tax not been made. If the Borrower or any other Loan Party pays any Indemnified Taxes, or any penalties or interest in connection therewith, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing the payment or certified copies thereof, or other evidence of payment if such tax receipts have not yet been received by the Borrower or such other Loan Party (with such tax receipts to be delivered within fifteen (15) days after being actually received), to the Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the original) within fifteen (15) days of such payment. If the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank or Lender pays any Indemnified Taxes, or any penalties or interest in connection therewith, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank or Lender for the payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made. Such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent shall make written demand on the Borrower for reimbursement hereunder no later than ninety (90) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent makes payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest, and (ii) the date on which the relevant taxing authority or other governmental authority makes written demand upon such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent for payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest. Any such demand shall describe in reasonable detail such Indemnified Taxes, penalties or interest, including the amount thereof if then known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. In the event that such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent fails to give the Borrower timely notice as provided herein, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim for reimbursement.

(b) U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions. Upon the written request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Lender or Issuing Bank that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, promptly after such request, two duly completed and signed copies of either Form W-8BEN or any successor form (entitling such Lender or Issuing Bank to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Lender or Issuing Bank, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents) or Form W-8ECI or any successor form (relating to all amounts to be received by such Lender or Issuing Bank, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents) of the United States Internal Revenue Service, and any other form of the United States Internal Revenue Service reasonably necessary to accomplish exemption from withholding obligations or to facilitate the Administrative Agent’s performance under this Agreement. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Lender or Issuing Bank shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may be required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender or Issuing Bank, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents. Upon the request of the Borrower, each Lender or Issuing Bank that is a United States person shall submit to the Borrower a certificate to the effect that it is such a United States person and is exempt from information reporting under Section 6049 of the Code and backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code.

(c) Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines in good faith, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that (i) it is unable to submit to the Borrower or Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender or Issuing Bank is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3.3, (ii) it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted, or (iii) any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of such fact, and the Lender or Issuing Bank shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.

(d) Refund of Taxes. If any Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent becomes aware that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Tax or any tax referred to in Section 10.3 with respect to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party has paid any amount pursuant to this Section 3.3 or Section 10.3, such Lender, Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent shall pay the amount of such refund (including any interest received with respect thereto) to the Borrower or such other Loan Party within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. A Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent shall provide, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, such assistance as the Borrower may reasonably request in order to obtain such a refund; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Issuing Bank shall in any event be required to disclose any information to the Borrower or such other Loan Party with respect to the overall tax position of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank or Lender.

(e) Swiss Withholding Taxes. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) all withholding taxes that may be levied or imposed pursuant to any existing or future laws or regulations of Switzerland or any political subdivision thereof in respect of any payments to be made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party at any time under the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall constitute Indemnified Taxes for all purposes hereof (but excluding such taxes as provided in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) of Section 3.3(a)), and (ii) if any such taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and forthwith pay such additional amount to each Lender, Issuing

Bank, and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as may be necessary to insure that the net amount actually received by each Lender, Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent is free and clear of such Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) and is equal to the amount that such Lender, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent would have received had withholding of any such Indemnified Taxes not been made.

ARTICLE 5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

The Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent as follows:

Section 5.1 Corporate Organization. Each of the Borrower, Holdings (at all times on and after the Redomestication Effective Date), and each other material Member of the Consolidated Group: (i) is duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (ii) has all necessary organizational power and authority to own the property and assets it uses in its business and otherwise to carry on its present business; and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the nature of the property owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing, as the case may be, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.2 Power and Authority; Validity. Each of the Borrower and any other Loan Parties has the organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Credit Documents. Each of the Borrower and any other Loan Parties has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such Loan Party, as the case may be, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles.

Section 5.3 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, will (i) contravene in any material respect any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any term, covenant, condition or other provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien other than any Permitted Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group under, the terms of any material contractual obligation to which the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group is a party or by which they or any of their properties or assets are bound or to which they may be subject, or (iii) violate or conflict with any provision of the memorandum of association and articles of association, charter, articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership or limited liability company agreement, by-laws, or other applicable governance documents of the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group.

Section 5.4 Litigation. Except as may be described on Schedule 5.4, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or counterclaims (including, without limitation, derivative or injunctive actions) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group that are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.5 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

(a) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall only be used to finance amounts outstanding on the Initial Effective Date under the Borrower’s Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July 8, 2005 with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, for repayment and debt service on the Bridge Facility, as a commercial paper backstop, for permitted investments and acquisitions, and for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.7 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any Credit Document or the Confidential Information Memorandum or any transaction contemplated therein did not, as of the date such information was furnished (or, if such information expressly related to a specific date, as of such specific date), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (taken as a whole), in light of the circumstances under which such information was furnished, not misleading, except for such statements, if any, as have been updated, corrected, supplemented, superseded or modified pursuant to a written correction or supplement furnished to the Lenders prior to the date of this Agreement.

The financial statements heretofore delivered to the Lenders for the Borrower’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, and for the Borrower’s fiscal quarter and year-to-date period ending September 30, 2007, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent, except as otherwise noted therein, in accordance with GAAP, with the Borrower’s financial statements for the previous fiscal year.

Section 5.10 Taxes. The Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group have filed all material tax returns required to be filed, whether in the United States or in any foreign jurisdiction, and have paid all governmental taxes, rates, assessments, fees, charges and levies (collectively, “Taxes”) shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against the Borrower or such other Members of the Consolidated Group or any of their properties (other than any such assessments, fees, charges or levies that are not more than ninety (90) days past due, or which can thereafter be paid without penalty, or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which reserves have been provided in conformity with GAAP, or which the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect).

The Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group own or hold valid licenses to use all the patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, and trade names that are necessary to the operation of the business of the Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group as presently conducted, except where the failure to own, or hold valid licenses to use, such patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, and trade names could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.14 Ownership of Property. The Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group have good title to or a valid leasehold interest in all of their real property and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of their other property, subject to no Liens except Permitted Liens, except where the failure to have such title or leasehold interest in such property could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.15 Existing Indebtedness. Schedule 5.15 contains a complete and accurate list of all Indebtedness outstanding as of the Initial Effective Date, with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in each case in a principal amount of $30,000,000 (or, if denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent of $30,000,000) or more (other than the Obligations hereunder and Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.12(b) through (j)) and permitted by Section 6.12(a), in each case showing the aggregate principal amount thereof, the name of the respective borrower and any other entity which directly or indirectly guaranteed such Indebtedness, and the scheduled payments of such Indebtedness.

Section 5.18 Employee Benefit Plan. The Borrower, each other Member of the Consolidated Group and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan except for any such non-compliance or non-performance which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

limitations or prohibitions under any other U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control regulation or executive order (a “Prohibited Person”), or (ii) will knowingly use any proceeds of the Loans, directly or indirectly, (a) to support activities in any country subject to a comprehensive sanctions program administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) where such activities would be in violation of the sanctions program, or (b) to conduct business with a Prohibited Person or any individual or entity controlled by a Prohibited Person.

Section 5.22 Solvency. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the Redomestication Transactions, the Holdings Guaranty, any other Guaranties given by any Loan Parties in respect of this Agreement, the 364-Day Credit Agreement, the Term Credit Agreement, and the Indebtedness issued under the Indentures, and any Subsidiary Guaranty, will be and will continue to be, when taken together with their respective Subsidiaries, Solvent.

The Administrative Agent, after giving notice to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.2, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other Lenders and the Issuing Banks, but the failure to do so shall not impair or annul the effect of such notice.

Section 7.3 Bankruptcy Defaults. When any Event of Default described in subsections (f) or (g) of Section 7.1 has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Borrower or Holdings, then all outstanding Loans shall immediately become due and payable together with all other accrued amounts payable under the Credit Documents without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, each of which is expressly waived by the Borrower; and all obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank to extend further credit pursuant to any of the terms hereof shall immediately terminate and the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent (to be held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.4) in cash the full amount then available for drawing under all outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower acknowledging that the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, and the Administrative Agent would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by the Borrower to honor any such demand and that the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to require the Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any drawings or other demands for payment have been made under any of the Letters of Credit.

Section 7.4 Collateral for Undrawn Letters of Credit.

(a) If the prepayment of the amount available for drawing under any or all outstanding Letters of Credit is required under Section 7.2 or 7.3, or if cash collateral is required to be provided by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14, the Borrower shall forthwith pay in cash the amount required to be so prepaid or provided, to be held by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, as provided in subsection (b) below.

(b) All amounts prepaid or provided pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, in a separate collateral account (such account, and the credit balances, properties and any investments from time to time held therein, and any substitutions for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application to, the reimbursement of any drawing under any Letter of Credit then or thereafter paid by any Issuing Bank, and, with respect to other amounts prepaid as required under Section 7.2 or 7.3, to the payment of the unpaid balance of any Loans and all other due and unpaid Obligations (collectively, the “Collateralized Obligations”). The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, as pledgee hereunder. If and when required by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall invest and reinvest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time in Cash Equivalents specified from time to time by the Borrower, provided that the Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized to sell on market terms any investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral Account for application to Collateralized Obligations due and owing from the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, or any Lender. With respect to amounts prepaid by the Borrower as required under Section 7.2 or 7.3, when and if (A) (i) the Borrower shall have made payment of all Collateralized Obligations then due and payable, and (ii) all relevant preference or other disgorgement periods relating to the receipt of such payments have passed, or (B) no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall repay to the Borrower any remaining amounts and assets held in the Collateral Account, provided that if the Collateral Account is being released pursuant to clause (A) and any Letter of Credit then remains outstanding, the Borrower, prior to or contemporaneously with such release, shall make arrangements with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 7.4(b). With respect to amounts provided by the Borrower pursuant to the cash collateralization requirements of

Section 2.14, when and if the Lender or Lenders that were or became the Defaulting Lender or Lenders causing the cash collateralization requirements of Section 2.14 to be applicable shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender or Lenders as provided herein, then the Collateral Agent shall release and deliver such cash collateral amount or applicable portion thereof upon the written request of the Borrower. In addition, if the aggregate amount on deposit with the Collateral Agent representing amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 exceeds the Collateralized Obligations then existing, then the Collateral Agent shall release and deliver such excess amount upon the written request of the Borrower.

Section 7.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower under Section 7.2 promptly upon being requested to do so by the Required Lenders and shall thereupon notify all the Lenders thereof.

Section 7.6 Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, and each Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, or such Lender, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in connection with any Default or Event of Default hereunder or in connection with the enforcement of any of the Credit Documents.

Section 7.7 Distribution and Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender hereunder or from the proceeds of the Collateral Account or otherwise shall be paid to the Administrative Agent to be distributed and applied as follows (unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and all Lenders):

(a) First, to the payment of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, as provided by this Agreement or by any other Credit Document, incurred in connection with the collection of such payment or in respect of the enforcement of any rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, or the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(b) Second, to the payment of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, as provided by this Agreement or by any other Credit Document, incurred in connection with the collection of such payment or in respect of the enforcement of any rights of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, pro rata in the proportion in which the amount of such costs and expenses unpaid to each Lender or each Issuing Bank bears to the aggregate amount of the costs and expenses unpaid to all Lenders and the Issuing Banks collectively, until all such fees, costs and expenses have been paid in full;

(c) Third, to the payment of any due and unpaid fees to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank as provided by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, pro rata in the proportion in which the amount of such fees due and unpaid to the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank bears to the aggregate amount of the fees due and unpaid to the Administrative Agent and all Lenders and Issuing Banks collectively, until all such fees have been paid in full;

(d) Fourth, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations to the date of such application, pro rata in the proportion in which the amount of such interest, accrued and unpaid to each Lender or each Issuing Bank bears to the aggregate amount of such interest accrued and unpaid to all Lenders and the Issuing Banks collectively, until all such accrued and unpaid interest has been paid in full;

(e) Fifth, to the payment of the outstanding due and payable principal amount of each of the Loans and the amount of the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations (reserving cash collateral for all undrawn face amounts of any outstanding Letters of Credit (if Section 7.4(a) has not been complied with)), pro rata in the proportion in which the outstanding principal amount of such Loans and the amount of such outstanding Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender and Issuing Bank, together (if Section 7.4(a) has not been complied with) with the undrawn face amounts of such outstanding Letters of Credit, bears to the aggregate amount of all outstanding Loans, outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and (if Section 7.4(a) has not been complied with) the undrawn face amounts of all outstanding Letters of Credit. In the event that any such Letters of Credit, or any portions thereof, expire without being drawn, any cash collateral therefor shall not be distributed by the Administrative Agent until the principal amount of all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall have been paid in full;

(f) Sixth, to the payment of any other outstanding Obligations then due and payable, pro rata in the proportion in which the outstanding Obligations owing to each Lender, Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent bears to the aggregate amount of all such Obligations until all such Obligations have been paid in full; and

(g) Seventh, to the Borrower or as the Borrower may direct.

ARTICLE 8 CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Section 8.1 Change of Law.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if at any time any change, after the date hereof (or, if later, after the date the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank or Lender becomes the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank or Lender), in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans or to fund any Loans in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars, or Kroner, or the Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit or to provide payment thereunder in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars, or Kroner, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly give written notice thereof and of the basis therefor in reasonable detail to the Borrower, and such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations to fund affected Eurocurrency Loans or make, continue or convert such Loans under this Agreement, or to issue any such Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall thereupon be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Loans or issue such Letters of Credit.

(b) Upon the giving of the notice to Borrower referred to in subsection (a) above in respect of any such Loan, and provided the Borrower shall not have prepaid such Loan pursuant to Section 2.9, (i) any outstanding such Loan of such Lender shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan in Dollars on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto or on such earlier date as required by law, and (ii) such Lender shall make or continue its portion of any requested Borrowing of such Loan as a Base Rate Loan in U.S. Dollars, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all other purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.

(c) Any Lender or Issuing Bank that has given any notice pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall, upon determining that it would no longer be unlawful for it to make such Loans or issue such Letters of Credit, give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon giving such notice, its obligation to make, allow conversions into and maintain such Loans or issue such Letters of Credit shall be reinstated.

Section 8.2 Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain LIBOR Rate. If on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (after consultation with the other Lenders) that, due to changes in circumstances since the date hereof, adequate and fair means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate (including without limitation, the unavailability of matching deposits in the applicable currency) or such rate will not accurately reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding Eurocurrency Loans in the applicable currency for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (in reasonable detail) of such determination and of the basis therefor to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent shall do promptly after they do not exist), (i) the obligations of the Lenders to fund Loans in Euro, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars, or Kroner, or make, continue or convert Loans as or into such Eurocurrency Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into such Eurocurrency Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each Eurocurrency Loan will automatically on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan in U.S. Dollars.

Section 8.3 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office), with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally issued after the date hereof (or, if later, after the date the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank or Lender becomes the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank or Lender):

(i) subjects any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge related to any Eurocurrency Loan, Reimbursement Obligation, or its obligation to advance or maintain Eurocurrency Loans or issue any Letter of Credit, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Eurocurrency Loans, Letters of Credit or Reimbursement Obligation or any participations in any thereof, or any other amounts due under this Agreement or any other Credit Document related to its Eurocurrency Loans, Letters of Credit, Reimbursement Obligations or participations therein, or its obligation to make Eurocurrency Loans, issue Letters of Credit, or acquire participations therein (except for changes with respect to taxes that are not Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 3.3); or

(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding for any Eurocurrency Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) or imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurocurrency Loans, Letters of Credit, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it, or its participation in any thereof, or its obligation to advance or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, issue Letters of Credit or participate in any thereof;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) of advancing or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan, issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) in connection therewith under this

Agreement or any other Credit Document, by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, subject to Section 8.3(c), from time to time, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a certificate from such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to subsection (c) below setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If, after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank shall have reasonably determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein (including, without limitation, any revision in the Final Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208, Appendix A; 12 CFR Part 225, Appendix A) or of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 CFR Part 3, Appendix A), or in any other applicable capital adequacy rules heretofore adopted and issued by any governmental authority), or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank (or its applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital, or on the capital of any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Bank, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s or its controlling corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy in effect immediately before such adoption, change or compliance) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then, subject to Section 8.3(c), from time to time, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of a certificate from such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to subsection (c) below setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such reduction or the Borrower may prepay all Eurocurrency Loans of such Lender or obtain the cancellation of all such Letters of Credit.

(c) The Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank that determines to seek compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.3 or Section 2.15 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender or Issuing Bank other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank to such compensation no later than ninety (90) days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the ninetieth day preceding such written demand, except if the law, rule, order or interpretation giving rise to such request for compensation has retroactive effect, such ninety (90) day period shall be extended to include such retroactive period. The Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, additional interest, and any payment under Section 3.3, including, without limitation, the designation of a different Lending Office, if such action or designation will not, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided that the foregoing shall not in any way affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.3 or Section 2.15, and provided further that no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be obligated to make its Eurocurrency Loans hereunder or fund any amount due in respect of a Letter of Credit at any office located in the United States of America. A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, claiming compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.3 or

Section 2.15, and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and accompanied by a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail the calculations thereof shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender or Issuing Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 8.4 Lending Offices. The Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank may, at its option, elect to make or maintain its Loans and issue its Letters of Credit hereunder at the Lending Office for each type and/or currency of Loan or Letter of Credit available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, provided that, except in the case of any such transfer to another of its branches, offices or affiliates made at the request of the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be responsible for the costs arising under Section 3.3 or 8.3 resulting from any such transfer to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to such transfer.

Section 8.5 Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans and Letters of Credit in any manner it sees fit.

Section 8.6 Substitution of Lender or Issuing Bank. If (a) any Lender or Issuing Bank has demanded compensation or additional interest or given notice of its intention to demand compensation or additional interest under Section 8.3 or Section 2.15, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank under Section 2.11, (c) any Lender or Issuing Bank is unable to submit any form or certificate required under Section 3.3(b) or withdraws or cancels any previously submitted form with no substitution therefor, (d) any Lender or Issuing Bank gives notice of any change in law or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof, pursuant to Section 8.1, (e) any Lender or Issuing Bank has been declared insolvent or a receiver or conservator has been appointed for a material portion of its assets, business or properties or such Lender or Issuing Bank is otherwise a Defaulting Lender, (f) any Lender or Issuing Bank shall seek to avoid its obligation to make or maintain Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder for any reason, including, without limitation, reliance upon 12 U.S.C. § 1821(e) or (n) (1) (B), (g) any taxes referred to in Section 3.3 have been levied or imposed (or the Borrower determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that such taxes will be levied or imposed) so as to require withholding or deductions by the Borrower or payment by the Borrower of additional amounts to any Lender or Issuing Bank, or other reimbursement or indemnification of any Lender or Issuing Bank, as a result thereof, (h) any Lender shall decline to consent to a modification or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents requested by the Borrower, or (i) any Issuing Bank gives notice pursuant to Section 2.12(a)(ii) that the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate any legal or regulatory restriction then applicable to such Issuing Bank, then and in such event, upon request from the Borrower delivered to such Lender or Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall assign, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.10 and an appropriately completed Assignment Agreement, all of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents to another Lender or a commercial banking institution selected by the Borrower and (in the case of a commercial banking institution other than a Lender) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in consideration for the payments set forth in such Assignment Agreement and payment by the Borrower to such Lender of all other amounts which such Lender may be owed pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2.11, 2.15, 3.3, 8.3 and 10.13.

ARTICLE 9 THE AGENTS AND ISSUING BANKS.

Section 9.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent and Other Agents. Each Lender hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral

Agent under the Credit Documents and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent on each of its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. None of the other Lenders appointed as one of the Other Agents shall have any duties, responsibilities, or obligations hereunder in such capacity.

Section 9.2 Rights and Powers. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Other Agents shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or an Other Agent, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Other Agents and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any other Members of the Consolidated Group or their affiliates as if it were not an Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or an Other Agent under the Credit Documents. The term Lender as used in all Credit Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Other Agents in their respective individual capacities as a Lender.

Section 9.3 Action by Administrative Agent and the Other Agents. The obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action concerning any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Sections 7.2 and 7.4. Unless and until the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders) give such direction (including, without limitation, the giving of a notice of default as described in Section 7.1(c)), the Administrative Agent may, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent be required to take any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Credit Document, and each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Credit Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses, and liabilities it may incur in taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default, other than non-payment of any scheduled principal or interest payment due hereunder, exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Credit Documents do not require the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under specific provisions of the Credit Documents, shall be binding on all the Lenders and holders of Notes.

Section 9.4 Consultation with Experts. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.5 Indemnification Provisions; Credit Decision. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in connection with the Credit Documents (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders), or (ii) in the absence of their own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the

Collateral Agent nor any of their directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Borrowing; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group contained herein or in any other Credit Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 4, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Credit Document or of any other documents or writings furnished in connection with any Credit Document; and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent make no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matters mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their duties under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by any of them under the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with such Administrative Agent signed by such owner in form satisfactory to such Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that it has independently, and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, obtained such information and made such investigations and inquiries regarding the Borrower and the other Members of the Consolidated Group as it deems appropriate, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Credit Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender to keep itself informed about the creditworthiness and business, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) and prospects of the Borrower and the other Members of the Consolidated Group, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Lender for such matters. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required by any Credit Document to be furnished by the Borrower or any other Members of the Consolidated Group to such Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished to such Agent (either in their respective capacity as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or in their individual capacity).

Section 9.6 Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their Percentages, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and their directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by it under any Credit Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Resignation.

(a) Resignation of Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign at any time and shall resign upon any removal thereof as a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall not be effective until a replacement therefor is appointed pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent or any

Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. If no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, which shall be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under the Credit Documents, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Article 9 and all protective provisions of the other Credit Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

(b) Resignation of Issuing Banks. If at any time any Issuing Bank assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 10.10(b), such Issuing Bank may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank. In such event, the Borrower may, with the approval of the Administrative Agent and the acceptance of the duties of an Issuing Bank by the Lender so requested, request that another Lender serve as Issuing Bank under this Agreement; provided, however, that the absence of any successor Issuing Bank shall not affect the resignation of the resigning Issuing Bank. Any resigning Issuing Bank shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation and all Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12). Upon the appointment of any successor Issuing Bank (i) such successor Issuing Bank shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, and (ii) such successor Issuing Bank shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, previously issued by the resigning Issuing Bank that are outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the resigning Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.8 Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may designate one or more Sub-Agents under this Agreement to carry out certain duties of the Administrative Agent as described herein. Each Sub-Agent shall be subject to each of the obligations in this Agreement to be performed by such Sub-Agent, and each of the Loan Parties and the Lenders agrees that each Sub-Agent shall be entitled to exercise each of the rights and shall be entitled to each of the benefits of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement as relate to the performance of its obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE 10 MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 10.1 No Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank, or on the part of the holder or holders of any Notes, in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any

default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power, right or remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the powers, rights and remedies under the Credit Documents of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any powers, rights or remedies any of them would otherwise have.

Section 10.2 Non-Business Day. Subject to Section 2.4, if any payment of principal or interest on any portion of any Loan, any Reimbursement Obligation, or any other Obligation shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest or fees (as applicable) at the rate, if any, such portion of any Loan, any Reimbursement Obligation, or other Obligation bears for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue in the manner set forth herein on such Obligation from the stated due date thereof to the next succeeding Business Day, on which the same shall instead be payable.

Section 10.3 Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp, debt issuance, or similar taxes payable with respect to any Credit Document (including, without limitation, any issuance stamp tax that may be levied or otherwise become payable on any Loans or this Agreement, any Note, the Holdings Guaranty, any Subsidiary Guaranty, or any other Credit Document under the laws of Switzerland or any other jurisdiction), including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are levied or assessed, irrespective of when such levy or assessment is made, other than any such taxes imposed as a result of any transfer of an interest in a Credit Document. Each Lender and Issuing Bank that determines to seek compensation under this Section 10.3 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender or Issuing Bank other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle such Lender or Issuing Bank to such compensation no later than ninety (90) days after such Lender or Issuing Bank receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 90th day preceding such written demand.

Section 10.4 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in certificates given pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as the Borrower has any Obligation hereunder or any Commitment hereunder is in effect.

Section 10.5 Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and all provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders and Issuing Bank of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders and Issuing Bank with respect to the Loans and the L/C Obligations, including, but not limited to, Section 2.11, Section 2.15, Section 3.3, Section 7.6, Section 8.3, Section 10.3, and Section 10.13 hereof, shall, subject to Section 8.3(c), survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations and, with respect to any Lender or Issuing Bank, any replacement by the Borrower of such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms hereof, in each case for a period of one (1) year.

Section 10.6 Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of, and throughout the continuance of, any Event of Default, each Lender and Issuing Bank and each subsequent holder of any Note is hereby authorized by the Borrower and each other Loan Party at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other Indebtedness at any time owing by

that Lender or that subsequent holder to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether or not matured, against and on account of the due and unpaid obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to that Lender or Issuing Bank or that subsequent holder under the Credit Documents, irrespective of whether or not that Lender or Issuing Bank or that subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder. Each Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly give notice to the Borrower of any action taken by it under this Section 10.6, provided that any failure of such Lender or Issuing Bank to give such notice to the Borrower shall not affect the validity of such setoff. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees with each other Lender and Issuing Bank a party hereto that if such Lender or Issuing Bank receives and retains any payment, whether by setoff or application of deposit balances or otherwise, in respect of the Loans or L/C Obligations in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then owed to the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereunder, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations and participations therein held by each such other Lender as shall be necessary to cause such Lender or Issuing Bank to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender or Issuing Bank, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or Issuing Bank, the related purchases from the other Lenders or Issuing Banks shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest.

Section 10.7 Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices under the Credit Documents shall be in writing (including facsimile or other electronic means) and shall be given to a party hereunder at its address or facsimile number set forth below or such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telegram or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.

Section 10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties on different counterpart signature pages, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Section 10.9 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any Note; provided, however, the Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document without the written consent of all Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may not assign any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Document except in accordance with Article 9 and no Lender or Issuing Bank may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document except in accordance with Section 10.10. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer on any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Controlling Affiliates of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Other Agents, and the Indemnified Parties as defined in Section 10.13) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Any Lender or Issuing Bank may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Notes issued to it (i) to a Federal Reserve Bank to secure extensions of credit by such Federal Reserve Bank to such Lender, or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund comprised in whole or in part of commercial loans, to a trustee for such fund in support of such Lender’s obligations to such trustee; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release any Lender or Issuing Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Federal Reserve Bank or such trustee for such Lender as a party hereto and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely with such Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with the rights and obligations of such Lender and Issuing Bank under this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Sales and Transfers of Borrowing and Notes; Participations in Borrowings and Notes.

(a) Any Lender may, upon written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at any time sell to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in any Commitment of such Lender hereunder, provided that no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to vote upon or to consent to any matter to be decided by the Lenders or the Required Lenders hereunder or under any other Credit Document or to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and such increase would affect such Participant, (ii) reduce the principal of,

or interest on, any of such Lender’s Borrowings, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and such reduction would affect such Participant, (iii) postpone any date fixed for any scheduled payment of principal of, or interest on, any of such Lender’s Borrowings, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and such postponement would affect such Participant, or (iv) release any collateral security for any Obligation, except as otherwise specifically provided in any Credit Document. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under any Credit Document. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable in accordance with Section 7.2 or 7.3 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Note, provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such Participant, as provided in Section 10.6. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of and have the obligations under Sections 2.11, 2.15, 3.3 and 8.3 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Borrowings outstanding from time to time, provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred if no participation had been transferred and provided, further, that Sections 8.3(c) and 8.6 shall apply to the transferor Lender with respect to any claim by any Participant pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.15, 3.3 or 8.3 as fully as if such claim was made by such Lender. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to pay to any Lender any sum in excess of the sum the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender hereunder if such Lender had not sold any participation in its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(b) Any Lender may at any time sell to (i) any of such Lender’s affiliates or to any other Lender or any affiliate thereof that, in each case, is a commercial banking or other financial or lending institution not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and, (ii) with the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (any of (i) or (ii), a “Purchasing Lender”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit 10.10, executed by such Purchasing Lender and such transferor Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender which is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that each such sale to a Purchasing Lender (other than an existing Lender) shall be in the Dollar Equivalent amount of $5,000,000 or more, or if in a lesser amount or if as a result of such sale the sum of the unfunded Commitment of such Lender plus the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans and participations in Letters of Credits would be less than the Dollar Equivalent amount of $5,000,000 (calculated as hereinafter set forth), such sale shall be of all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and all of the other Credit Documents payable to it to one Purchasing Lender. Notwithstanding the requirement of the Borrower’s consent set forth above, but subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Section 10.10(b), any Lender may sell to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, all or any part of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with only

the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth herein and (y) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitments and Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents. On or prior to the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall upon reasonable notice from the Administrative Agent execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for any surrendered Note, a new Note as appropriate to the order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, and, if the transferor Lender has retained a Commitment or Borrowing hereunder, a new Note to the order of the transferor Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments or Borrowings retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby. The Notes surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled.”

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by a transferor Lender and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Administrative Agent and, to the extent required by Section 10.10(b), by the Borrower), together with payment by the transferor Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder of a registration and processing fee of $1,000 (unless the Borrower is replacing such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, in which event such fee shall be paid by the Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement, and (ii) on the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant thereto give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Borrower shall not be responsible for such registration and processing fee or any costs or expenses incurred by any Lender, any Purchasing Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment except as provided above.

(d) If, pursuant to this Section 10.10 any interest in this Agreement or any Loan or Note is transferred to any transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the transferor Lender with respect to any payments to be made to such transferee in respect of the Loans or the L/C Obligations, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) two duly completed and signed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities (wherein such transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder), and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) new forms as contemplated by Section 3.3(b) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 10.10, no transfer or assignment of the interests of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans, the Notes or any other Obligations under the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

Section 10.11 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Any provision of the Credit Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Lenders, and (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents, as the case may be, provided that:

(i) no amendment or waiver shall (A) increase the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount without the consent of all Lenders or increase any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, (B) (other than in accordance with Section 2.16) postpone or extend the Commitment Termination Date or Maturity Date without the consent of all Lenders, or reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest (including, without limitation, any reduction in the rate of interest unless such reduction is otherwise provided herein) on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or of any fee payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender owed any such Obligation, (C) release any Collateral for any Collateralized Obligations (other than as provided in accordance with Section 7.4) without the consent of all Lenders or (D) release Holdings from its obligations under the Holdings Guaranty or, except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranties without the consent of all Lenders; and

(ii) no amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the provisions of this Section 10.11 or the definition of Required Lenders or the number of Lenders required to take any action under any other provision of the Credit Documents, or any provision providing for the pro rata nature of payments by or to Lenders.

Section 10.12 Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Legal Fees, Other Costs and Indemnification. The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, agrees to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation and execution of the Credit Documents (which shall be in an amount agreed in writing by the Borrower), and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated therein are consummated. The Borrower further agrees to indemnify each Lender, Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Other Agents, and their respective directors, officers, employees and attorneys (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur as a result of (a) any action, suit or proceeding by any third party or Governmental Authority against such Indemnified Party and relating to any Credit Document, the Loans, any Letter of Credit, or the application or proposed application by the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group of the proceeds of any Loan or use of any Letter of Credit, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS OR ACTIONS ARE FOUNDED IN WHOLE OR IN PART UPON THE ALLEGED SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES

AND/OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR ATTORNEYS, (b) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority involving any Lender (as a lender hereunder), Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in such capacity hereunder) and related to any use made or proposed to be made by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Loan, or use of any Letter of Credit or any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly with the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, and (c) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority, litigation or proceeding involving any Lender (as a lender hereunder) or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in such capacity hereunder) and related to any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to any Environmental Law or the presence of any Hazardous Material (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law) with respect to the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any of the foregoing arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct, as determined pursuant to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as expressly agreed in writing by such Indemnified Party. The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Other Agents or any Lender or Issuing Bank at any time, shall reimburse such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing, except if the same is excluded from indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence. Each Indemnified Party agrees to contest any indemnified claim if requested by the Borrower, in a manner reasonably directed by the Borrower, with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Indemnified Party that proposes or intends to settle or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give the Borrower written notice of the terms of such settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Borrower’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be restricted from settling or compromising any such claim if the Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnity from the Borrower in respect of such claim and such settlement or compromise does not materially increase the Borrower’s liability pursuant to this Section 10.13 to any related party of such Indemnified Party.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to their respective affiliates, to prospective Purchasing Lenders and Participants, and to potential counterparties to any hedge agreement or swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower’s Obligations, and in each case to their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who have reason to use such Information in connection with the evaluation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (subject to similar confidentiality provisions as provided herein) solely for purposes of evaluating such Information, (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by

applicable law or regulation or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any proceedings relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (v) with the consent of the Borrower, (vi) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower received by it from any Lender, Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Other Agents, or (vii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.15, or (y) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its affiliates, or the Lenders or their respective affiliates, excluding any Information from such source which, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent, the Other Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower. For purposes hereof, “Information” means all information received by the Lenders from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, excluding any Information from a source which, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent, the Other Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower. The Lenders shall be considered to have complied with their respective obligations if they have exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as they would accord their own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

Section 10.16 [Intentionally Omitted]

Section 10.17 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.18 Currency Conversion. All payments of Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars, except for Loans funded, or Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit issued, in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars or Kroner, which shall be repaid, including interest thereon, in the applicable currency. If any payment of any Obligation, whether through payment by the Borrower or the proceeds of any collateral, shall be made in a currency other than the currency required hereunder, such amount shall be converted into the currency required hereunder at the rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, as the rate quoted by it in accordance with methods customarily used by such Person for such or similar purposes as the spot rate for the purchase by such Person of the required currency with the currency of actual payment through its principal foreign exchange trading office (including, in the case of the Administrative Agent, any Sub-Agent) at approximately 11:00 A.M. (local time at such office) two Business Days prior to the effective date of such conversion, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution actively engaged in foreign currency exchange if the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, does not then have a spot rate for the required currency. The parties hereto hereby agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that (i) if for the purposes of obtaining any judgment or award it becomes necessary

to convert from any currency other than the currency required hereunder into the currency required hereunder any amount in connection with the Obligations, then the conversion shall be made as provided above on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given, (ii) in the event that there is a change in the applicable conversion rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given and the date of payment, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, will pay to the Borrower such excess amounts (if any) as result from such change in the rate of exchange, to assure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in such other currency, which when converted at the conversion rate described herein on the date of payment, is the amount then due in the currency required hereunder, and (iii) any amount due from the Borrower under this Section 10.18 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment or award being obtained for any other sum due. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties affirm and agree that neither the fixing of the conversion rate of Pounds or Kroners against the Euro as a single currency, in accordance with the applicable treaties establishing the European Economic Community and the European Union, as the case may be, in each case, as amended from time to time, nor the conversion of the Obligations under this Agreement from Pounds or Kroners into Euros will be a reason for early termination or revision of this Agreement or prepayment of any amount due under this Agreement or create any liability of any party towards any other party for any direct or consequential loss arising from any of these events. As of the date that Pounds or Kroners are no longer the lawful currency of the United Kingdom or Norway, as the case may be, all funding and payment Obligations to be made in such affected currency under this Agreement shall be satisfied in Euros. If, in relation to the currency of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

Section 10.19 Exchange Rates.

(a) Determination of Exchange Rates. Not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time) on each Calculation Date, if any LC Obligations are outstanding on such date in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the applicable Issuing Bank shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date for all such LC Obligations outstanding as of such date with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or its affiliates (the “Issuing Bank Exchange Rate”) and give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. No later than 4:00 P.M. (London time) on each such Calculation Date, (i) the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate (other than the Issuing Bank Exchange Rate, if applicable) as of such Calculation Date with respect to Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars and Kroner, and (ii) give notice thereof, together with notice of the applicable Issuing Bank Exchange Rate, if applicable, to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 10.18 or any other provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in determining the Dollar Equivalent of any amounts of Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars or Kroner. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any Issuing Bank fails to timely deliver notice of its Issuing Bank Exchange Rate to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.19, the Administrative Agent may determine such rate in accordance with the definition of Exchange Rate and shall have no liability to such Issuing Bank for such determination.

(b) Notice of Foreign Currency Loans and Letters of Credit. Not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time) on each Reset Date and each date on which Loans and/or Letters of Credit denominated in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars and/or Kroner are made or issued, if any such LC Obligations are outstanding on such date, the applicable Issuing Bank shall determine its Issuing Bank Exchange Rate as of such date, if applicable, and give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. Not later than 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on each Reset Date and each date on which Loans and/or Letters of Credit denominated in Euros, Pounds, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Singapore Dollars and/or Kroner are made or issued, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations denominated in such currencies (after giving effect to any Loans and/or Letters of Credit denominated in such currencies being made, issued, repaid, or cancelled or reduced on such date), (ii) notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the results of such determination and (iii) notify each Issuing Bank, if applicable, that the conditions to issuance set forth in Section 2.12(a) are satisfied.

Section 10.20 Change in Accounting Principles, Fiscal Year or Tax Laws. If (i) any change in accounting principles from those used in the preparation of the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section 5.8 is hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions by or required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions), and such change materially affects the calculation of any component of any financial covenant, standard or term found in this Agreement, or (ii) there is a material change in federal, state or foreign tax laws which materially affects any of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries’ ability to comply with the financial covenants, standards or terms found in this Agreement, the Borrower and the Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions (with the agreement of the Required Lenders or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders) so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating any of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made. Unless and until such provisions have been so amended, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 10.21 Final Agreement. The Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding among the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, and the Administrative Agent and supersede all earlier or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter of the Credit Documents. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Section 10.22 Officer’s Certificates. It is not intended that any certificate of any officer or director of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall give rise to any personal liability on the part of such officer or director.

Section 10.23 Effect of Inclusion of Exceptions. It is not intended that the specification of any exception to any covenant herein shall imply that the excepted matter would, but for such exception, be prohibited or required.

Section 10.24 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The

Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

Section 10.25 No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Other Agent, each Lender and their respective affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any of the Lender Parties and the Borrower, its shareholders or its affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Lender Parties is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 10.26 Amended Credit Agreement; No Novation. This Agreement constitutes the Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, as the same has been amended, effective from and after the First Amendment Effective Date. This Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks under the Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement based on any facts or events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. On the First Amendment Effective Date, the credit facilities described in the Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, and all Loans, L/C Obligations, and other Obligations of the Borrower outstanding as of such date under the Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Loans, L/C Obligations, and other Obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without further action by any Person.

Section 10.27 References in Loan Documents. On and after the First Amendment Effective Date, each and every reference in the other Credit Documents to the Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement and to the capitalized terms as defined in the Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to and mean this Agreement and such capitalized terms as the same are defined and used in this Agreement, in each case as this Agreement may hereafter be further amended, restated and supplemented from time to time. The Borrower further confirms and agrees that all such other Credit Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect on and after the First Amendment Effective Date.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
