On each Increase Date, the Agent shall notify the Lenders and the relevant Loan Party Agent, on or before 3:00 p.m., by telecopier, e-mail or other electronic means, of the occurrence of the Revolver Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date, the amount of Revolver Loans held by each Lender as a result thereof, the amount of the Commitment of each Lender (and the percentage of each Revolver Loan, if any, that each Participant must purchase a participation interest in) as a result thereof. The respective Pro Rata shares of the Lenders shall thereafter, to the extent applicable, be determined based on such increased amounts, and Agent and the affected Lenders shall make such adjustments as Agent shall deem necessary so that the outstanding Loans and LC Obligations of each Lender equals its Pro Rata share thereof after giving effect to the Revolver Commitment Increase.

(l) Reallocation Mechanism. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.1.6(l) and (m), the North American Loan Party Agent may request that the Lenders to certain Borrower Groups (and such Lenders in their individual sole discretion may agree to) change the then current allocation of each such Lender’s (and, if applicable, its affiliate’s) Commitment among the Borrower Group Commitments in order to effect an increase or decrease in particular Borrower Group Commitments, with any such increase or decrease in a Borrower Group Commitment to be accompanied by a concurrent and equal decrease or increase, respectively, in another Borrower Group Commitment (each, a “Reallocation”). In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 2.1.6(m), any such Reallocation shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) the North American Loan Party Agent shall have provided to the Agent a written request (in reasonable detail) at least ten Business Days prior to the requested effective date therefor (which effective date must be a Business Day) (the “Reallocation Date”) setting forth the proposed Reallocation Date and the amounts of the proposed Borrower Group Commitment reallocations to be effected, (ii) any such Reallocation shall increase or decrease the applicable Borrower Group Commitments in an amount equal to $5,000,000 and in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Agent shall have received Reallocation Consents from Lenders having applicable Borrower Group Commitments sufficient to effectuate such requested Reallocation, (iv) no more than one Reallocation may be requested in any calendar year, (v) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either as of the date of such request or on the Reallocation Date (both immediately before and after giving effect to such Reallocation), (vi) any increase in a Borrower Group Commitment shall result in a dollar-for-dollar decrease in another Borrower Group Commitment, (vii) in no event shall the sum of all the Borrower Group Commitments exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments then in effect, (viii) after giving effect to such Reallocation, no Overadvance would exist or would result therefrom, and (ix) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed Reallocation Date, a Senior Officer of the North American Loan Party Agent shall have delivered to the Agent a certificate certifying as to compliance with preceding clauses (ii) through (viii) and demonstrating (in reasonable detail) the calculations required in connection therewith, which certificate shall be deemed recertified to the Agent by a Senior Officer of the North American Loan Party Agent on and as of the Reallocation Date.

170

(m) Reallocations Generally. The Agent shall promptly inform the Lenders of the affected Borrower Groups of any request for a Reallocation. Each Lender electing to increase or decrease its Borrower Group Commitments shall notify the Agent within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice of its election and the maximum amount of the respective Borrower Group Commitment reallocations to which it would agree (each, a “Reallocation Consent”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Lender shall be obligated to agree to any such Reallocation of its Commitment (and no consent by any Lender to any Reallocation on one occasion shall be deemed consent to any future Reallocation by such Lender), (ii) other than the Lenders consenting to such Reallocation, no consent of any other Lender shall be required, and (iii) the failure of any Lender to affirmatively consent to participate in any such Reallocation on or prior to the fifth Business Day after its receipt of notice thereof shall be deemed to constitute an election by such Lender not to participate in such Reallocation. If, at the end of such five Business Day period, the Agent receives Reallocation Consents from Lenders in an aggregate amount greater than the required reallocation amounts, each such consenting Lender’s affected Borrower Group Commitments shall be increased or decreased on a pro rata basis based on the affected Borrower Group Commitments of the participating Lenders. If the conditions set forth in Section 2.1.6(l) and (m), including, without limitation, the receipt of sufficient Reallocation Consents within the time period set forth above, are not satisfied on the applicable Reallocation Date (or, to the extent such conditions relate to an earlier date, such earlier date), the Agent shall notify the North American Loan Party Agent in writing that the requested Reallocation will not be effectuated; provided, that (A) the Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely (without liability) on the certificate delivered by the North American Loan Party Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.6(l)(ix) in making its determination as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.1.6(l)(ii) through (viii) and (B) if the proposed Reallocation cannot be effected because sufficient Reallocation Consents were not received, then the North American Loan Party Agent may elect to consummate such Reallocation in the lesser amount of the Reallocation Consents that were received. On each Reallocation Date, the Agent shall notify the Lenders of the affected Borrower Groups and the North American Loan Party Agent, on or before 3:00 p.m. by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means, of the occurrence of the Reallocation to be effected on such Reallocation Date, the amount of the Loans held by each such Lender as a result thereof and the amount of the affected Borrower Group Commitments of each such Lender as a result thereof. To the extent necessary where a Lender in one Borrower Group and its separate affiliate that is a Lender in another Borrower Group are participating in a Reallocation, the Reallocation among such Persons shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance. The respective Pro Rata shares of the Lenders shall thereafter, to the extent applicable, be determined based on such reallocated amounts (subject to any subsequent changes thereto), and Agent and the affected Lenders shall make such adjustments as Agent shall deem necessary so that the outstanding Loans and LC Obligations of each Lender equals its Pro Rata share thereof after giving effect to the Reallocation.

(a) Each Australian Borrower acknowledges that each Australian Fronting Bank’s willingness to issue any Australian Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such Australian Fronting Bank’s receipt of an Australian LC Application with respect to the requested Australian Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as such Australian Fronting Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. No Australian Fronting Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Australian Letter of Credit unless (i) such Australian Fronting Bank, Bank of America (Hong Kong) and Bank of America (Australia) receive an Australian LC Request and Australian LC Application at least three

175

Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each Australian LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender that is an Australian Lender exists, such Lender or Australian Borrowers have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Agent and such Australian Fronting Bank to eliminate any funding risk associated with such Defaulting Lender. If an Australian Fronting Bank receives written notice from an Australian Lender at least three Business Days before issuance of an Australian Letter of Credit that any Australian LC Condition has not been satisfied, such Australian Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Australian Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Borrower Group Lenders or until the Required Borrower Group Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, an Australian Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of Australian LC Conditions. All Existing Australian Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The renewal or extension of any Australian Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Australian Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new Australian LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable Australian Fronting Bank. No Australian Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any Australian Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) Australian Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Australian Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Australian Letter of Credit, none of Agent, any Australian Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in an Australian Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and an Australian Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Australian Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Australian Fronting Bank, Agent or any Australian Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of each Australian Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Australian Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Australian Letter of Credit issued by such Australian Fronting Bank.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Australian Letters of Credit or Australian LC Documents, each Australian Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any

176

certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such Australian Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each Australian Fronting Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each Australian Fronting Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Australian Letters of Credit or Australian LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.2.2 Australian LC Reimbursement; Australian LC Participations.

(a) If an Australian Fronting Bank honors any request for payment under an Australian Letter of Credit, the Applicable Australian Borrower shall pay to such Australian Fronting Bank, on the same day (“Australian Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such Australian Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Australian Base Rate Loans from the Australian Reimbursement Date until payment by the Applicable Australian Borrower. The obligation of the Applicable Australian Borrower to reimburse each Australian Fronting Bank for any payment made under an Australian Letter of Credit issued by such Australian Fronting Bank shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Australian Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Applicable Australian Borrower or Loan Parties may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not the Applicable Australian Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the Applicable Australian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Australian Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due to an Australian Fronting Bank in the currency in which the underlying Australian Letter of Credit was issued on any Australian Reimbursement Date and each Australian Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of an Australian Letter of Credit, each Australian Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Australian Fronting Bank that issued such Australian Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all Australian LC Obligations relating to the Australian Letter of Credit. If the applicable Australian Fronting Bank makes any payment under an Australian Letter of Credit and the Applicable Australian Borrower does not reimburse such payment on the Australian Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Australian Lenders and each Australian Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent in the currency of the payment made under such Australian Letter of Credit, for the benefit of such Australian Fronting Bank, the Australian Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by an Australian Lender, the applicable Australian Fronting Bank shall furnish copies of any Australian Letters of Credit and Australian LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each Australian Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of the applicable Australian Fronting Bank in connection with such Australian Fronting Bank’s payment under an Australian Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional

177

and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under an Australian Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. No Australian Fronting Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Australian Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any Australian LC Documents. No Australian Fronting Bank makes any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to Australian Lenders with respect to the Australian Facility Collateral, the Australian LC Documents or any Australian Facility Loan Party. No Australian Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any Australian Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Australian LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Australian Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Australian Facility Loan Party.

(d) No Australian Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Australian LC Documents except as a result of such Australian Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Australian Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such Australian Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any Australian Letter of Credit or Australian LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of Australian Borrowers.

2.2.3 Australian LC Cash Collateral.

2.3 Belgian Letters of Credit.

2.3.1 Issuance of Belgian Letters of Credit. Each Belgian Fronting Bank agrees to issue Belgian Letters of Credit for the account of any Belgian Borrower from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (or until the Belgian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), in Euros or, at the option of the Applicable Belgian Borrower, Dollars, on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Belgian Borrower acknowledges that each Belgian Fronting Bank’s willingness to issue any Belgian Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such Belgian Fronting Bank’s receipt of a Belgian LC Application with respect to the requested Belgian Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as such Belgian Fronting Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. No Belgian Fronting Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Belgian Letter of Credit unless (i) such Belgian Fronting Bank and Bank of America (London) receive a Belgian LC Request and Belgian LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each Belgian LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender that is a Belgian Lender exists, such Lender or Belgian Borrowers have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Agent and such Belgian Fronting Bank to eliminate any funding risk associated with such Defaulting Lender. If a Belgian Fronting Bank receives written notice from a Belgian Lender at least three Business Days before issuance of a Belgian Letter of Credit that any Belgian LC Condition has not been satisfied, such Belgian Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Belgian Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Borrower Group Lenders or until the Required Borrower Group Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, a Belgian Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of Belgian LC Conditions. All Existing Belgian Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The renewal or extension of any Belgian Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Belgian Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new Belgian LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable Belgian Fronting Bank. No Belgian Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any Belgian Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) Belgian Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Belgian Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Belgian Letter of Credit, none of Agent, any Belgian Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Belgian Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud

179

by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Belgian Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Belgian Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Belgian Fronting Bank, Agent or any Belgian Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of each Belgian Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Belgian Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Belgian Letter of Credit issued by such Belgian Fronting Bank.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Belgian Letters of Credit or Belgian LC Documents, each Belgian Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such Belgian Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each Belgian Fronting Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each Belgian Fronting Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Belgian Letters of Credit or Belgian LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.3.2 Belgian LC Reimbursement; Belgian LC Participations.

(a) If a Belgian Fronting Bank honors any request for payment under a Belgian Letter of Credit, the Applicable Belgian Borrower shall pay to such Belgian Fronting Bank, on the same day (“Belgian Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such Belgian Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Belgian Base Rate Loans from the Belgian Reimbursement Date until payment by the Applicable Belgian Borrower. The obligation of the Applicable Belgian Borrower to reimburse each Belgian Fronting Bank for any payment made under a Belgian Letter of Credit issued by such Belgian Fronting Bank shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Belgian Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Applicable Belgian Borrower or Loan Parties may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not the Applicable Belgian Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the Applicable Belgian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Belgian Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due to a Belgian Fronting Bank in the currency in which the underlying Belgian Letter of Credit was issued on any Belgian Reimbursement Date and each Belgian Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a Belgian Letter of Credit, each Belgian Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Belgian Fronting Bank that

180

issued such Belgian Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all Belgian LC Obligations relating to the Belgian Letter of Credit. If the applicable Belgian Fronting Bank makes any payment under a Belgian Letter of Credit and the Applicable Belgian Borrower does not reimburse such payment on the Belgian Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Belgian Lenders and each Belgian Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent in the currency of the payment made under such Belgian Letter of Credit, for the benefit of the Belgian Fronting Bank, the Belgian Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Belgian Lender, the applicable Belgian Fronting Bank shall furnish copies of any Belgian Letters of Credit and Belgian LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each Belgian Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of the applicable Belgian Fronting Bank in connection with such Belgian Fronting Bank’s payment under a Belgian Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Belgian Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. No Belgian Fronting Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Belgian Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any Belgian LC Documents. No Belgian Fronting Bank makes any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to Belgian Lenders with respect to the Belgian Facility Collateral, the Belgian LC Documents or any Belgian Facility Loan Party. No Belgian Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any Belgian Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Belgian LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Belgian Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Belgian Facility Loan Party.

(d) No Belgian Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Belgian LC Documents except as a result of such Belgian Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Belgian Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such Belgian Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any Belgian Letter of Credit or Belgian LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of Belgian Borrowers.

2.3.3 Belgian LC Cash Collateral. If any Belgian LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a Belgian Overadvance exists, (c) after the Belgian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then Belgian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of the Belgian Fronting Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding

181

Belgian Letters of Credit and pay to each Belgian Fronting Bank the amount of all other Belgian LC Obligations to such Belgian Fronting Bank. Belgian Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand by the Belgian Fronting Bank’s or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is a Belgian Lender. If Belgian Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Belgian Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Belgian Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Belgian Revolver Commitments have terminated, any Belgian Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.4 Canadian Letters of Credit.

2.4.1 Issuance of Canadian Letters of Credit. Each Canadian Fronting Bank agrees to issue Canadian Letters of Credit for the account of any Canadian Borrower from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (or until the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), in Canadian Dollars or, at the option of the Applicable Canadian Borrower, Dollars, on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

Prior to receipt of any such notice, a Norwegian Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of Norwegian LC Conditions.

(b) The renewal or extension of any Norwegian Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Norwegian Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new Norwegian LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable Norwegian Fronting Bank. No Norwegian Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any Norwegian Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) Norwegian Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Norwegian Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Norwegian Letter of Credit, none of Agent, any Norwegian Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Norwegian Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or

The rights and remedies of each Norwegian Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Norwegian Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Norwegian Letter of Credit.

Whether or not the Applicable UK Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the Applicable UK Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of UK Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due an UK Fronting Bank in the currency in which the underlying UK Letter of Credit was issued on any UK Reimbursement Date and each UK Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a UK Letter of Credit, each UK Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the UK Fronting Bank that issued such UK Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all UK LC Obligations relating to the UK Letter of Credit. If the applicable UK Fronting Bank makes any payment under a UK Letter of Credit and the Applicable UK Borrower does not reimburse such payment on the UK Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify UK Lenders and each UK Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent in the currency of the payment made under such UK Letter of Credit, for the benefit of the UK Fronting Bank, the UK Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by an UK Lender, the applicable UK Fronting Bank shall furnish copies of any UK Letters of Credit and UK LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each UK Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of the applicable UK Fronting Bank in connection with such UK Fronting Bank’s payment under a UK Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a UK Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. No UK Fronting Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any UK Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any UK LC Documents. No UK Fronting Bank makes any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to UK Lenders with respect to the UK Facility Collateral, the UK LC Documents or any UK Facility Loan Party. No UK Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any UK Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any UK LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any UK Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any UK Facility Loan Party.

200

(d) No UK Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any UK LC Documents except as a result of such UK Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No UK Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such UK Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any UK Letter of Credit or UK LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of UK Borrowers.

2.9.3 UK LC Cash Collateral. If any UK LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a UK Overadvance exists, (c) after the UK Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then UK Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of the UK Fronting Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding UK Letters of Credit and pay to each UK Fronting Bank the amount of all other UK LC Obligations to such UK Fronting Bank. UK Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand by the UK Fronting Bank’s or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is a UK Lender. If UK Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, UK Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as UK Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the UK Revolver Commitments have terminated, any UK Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.10 U.S. Letters of Credit.

2.10.1 Issuance of U.S. Letters of Credit. Each U.S. Fronting Bank agrees to issue U.S. Letters of Credit for the account of any U.S. Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that each U.S. Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable with respect to, and guarantees payment under Section 5.10.1 with respect to, any U.S. Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a U.S. Borrower) from time to time until the Facility Termination Date (or until the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each U.S. Borrower acknowledges that each U.S. Fronting Bank’s willingness to issue any U.S. Letter of Credit is conditioned upon such U.S. Fronting Bank’s receipt of a U.S. LC Application with respect to the requested U.S. Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as such U.S. Fronting Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall have any obligation to issue any U.S. Letter of Credit unless (i) such U.S. Fronting Bank and Agent receive a U.S. LC Request and U.S. LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each U.S. LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Lender exists, U.S. Borrowers have entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Agent and such U.S. Fronting Bank to eliminate any funding risk associated with such Defaulting Lender. If a U.S. Fronting Bank receives written notice from a U.S. Lender at least three Business Days before issuance of a U.S. Letter of Credit that any U.S. LC Condition has not been satisfied, such U.S. Fronting Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested U.S. Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by the Required Borrower Group Lenders or until the Required Borrower Group Lenders have waived such

201

condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, a U.S. Fronting Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of U.S. LC Conditions. All Existing U.S. Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) The renewal or extension of any U.S. Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new U.S. Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new U.S. LC Application shall be required at the discretion of the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall renew or extend any U.S. Letter of Credit if it receives written notice from the Agent or the Required Borrower Group Lenders of the existence of a Default or Event of Default.

(c) U.S. Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any U.S. Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any U.S. Letter of Credit, none of Agent, any U.S. Fronting Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a U.S. Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a U.S. Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any U.S. Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any U.S. Fronting Bank, Agent or any U.S. Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of each U.S. Fronting Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each U.S. Fronting Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any U.S. Letter of Credit issued by such U.S. Fronting Bank.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any U.S. Letters of Credit or U.S. LC Documents, each U.S. Fronting Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by such U.S. Fronting Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each U.S. Fronting Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each U.S. Fronting Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to U.S. Letters of Credit or U.S. LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

202

2.10.2 U.S. LC Reimbursement; U.S. LC Participations.

(a) If a U.S. Fronting Bank honors any request for payment under a U.S. Letter of Credit, U.S. Borrowers shall pay to such U.S. Fronting Bank, on the same day (“U.S. Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by such U.S. Fronting Bank under such U.S. Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for U.S. Base Rate Loans from the U.S. Reimbursement Date until payment by U.S. Borrowers. The obligation of U.S. Borrowers to reimburse each U.S. Fronting Bank for any payment made under a U.S. Letter of Credit issued by such U.S. Fronting Bank shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several among U.S. Borrowers, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any U.S. Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that U.S. Borrowers or Loan Parties may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not the North American Loan Party Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, U.S. Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of U.S. Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) to pay all amounts due to a U.S. Fronting Bank on any U.S. Reimbursement Date and each U.S. Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a U.S. Letter of Credit, each U.S. Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the U.S. Fronting Bank that issued such U.S. Letter of Credit, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all U.S. LC Obligations relating to the U.S. Letter of Credit. If the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank makes any payment under a U.S. Letter of Credit and U.S. Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the U.S. Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify U.S. Lenders and each U.S. Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent in Dollars, for the benefit of U.S. Fronting Bank, the U.S. Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof). Upon request by a U.S. Lender, the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank shall furnish copies of any U.S. Letters of Credit and U.S. LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each U.S. Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of the applicable U.S. Fronting Bank in connection with such U.S. Fronting Bank’s payment under a U.S. Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a U.S. Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. No U.S. Fronting Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any U.S. Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any U.S. LC Documents. No U.S. Fronting Bank makes any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to U.S. Lenders with respect to the U.S. Facility Collateral, U.S. LC Documents or any U.S. Facility Loan Party. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall be responsible to any U.S. Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any U.S. LC

203

Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any U.S. Facility Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any U.S. Facility Loan Party.

(d) No U.S. Fronting Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Loan Party or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any U.S. LC Documents except as a result of each U.S. Fronting Bank’s actual gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No U.S. Fronting Bank shall have any liability to any Lender if such U.S. Fronting Bank refrains from any action under any U.S. Letter of Credit or U.S. LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Borrower Group Lenders of the Borrower Group consisting of the U.S. Borrowers.

2.10.3 U.S. LC Cash Collateral. If any U.S. LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that a U.S. Overadvance exists, (c) after the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date, then U.S. Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding U.S. Letters of Credit (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and pay to each U.S. Fronting Bank the amount of all other U.S. LC Obligations to such U.S. Fronting Bank. U.S. Borrowers shall, within one Business Day of demand by U.S. Fronting Bank’s or Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the U.S. LC Obligations of any Defaulting Lender that is a U.S. Lender. If U.S. Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as U.S. Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the U.S. Revolver Commitments have terminated, any U.S. Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.11 Issuance of Letters of Credit by Non-Lender Fronting Banks. Foreign Borrowers (other than Canadian Borrowers) may request that Agent permit Non-Lender Fronting Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder for the account of such Foreign Borrowers; provided, that (a) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of all such Letters of Credit may not exceed $45,000,000 at any time outstanding, (b) such Letters of Credit may only be issued to beneficiaries located outside of the United States and Canada, (c) prior to the issuance of any such Letter of Credit and a financial institution becoming a Non-Lender Fronting Bank hereunder, such financial institution shall enter into documentation and, to the extent such Letters of Credit to be issued by such Non-Lender Fronting Banks shall have the benefit of security, security arrangements satisfactory to Agent, and (d) each such Letter of Credit issued by a Non-Lender Fronting Bank shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed pursuant to clause (c) above, Non-Lender Fronting Banks shall not be Secured Parties or have any rights to Collateral or distributions thereof (including under Section 5.5.1).

2.12 Applicable Foreign Borrower Sublimits; Overline. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2 (subject to Sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.5), in no event shall any Applicable Foreign Borrower be entitled to receive a Revolver Loan or the issuance of a

204

Letter of Credit (and no Lender shall be required to make or support the same) if at the time of the proposed funding of such Revolver Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit (and after giving effect thereto and all pending requests for Revolver Loans and Letters of Credit by or on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers), the sum of (a) the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding amount of all Revolver Loans made to such Borrower on such date and (b) the LC Obligations of such Borrower on such date exceeds the lesser of such Borrower’s individual Borrowing Base (without giving effect to its allocable portion of any LC Reserve) or Applicable Foreign Borrower Commitment. If as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of all outstanding Revolver Loans made to an Applicable Foreign Borrower and the LC Obligations of such Borrower exceed such Borrower’s Applicable Foreign Borrower Commitment, the excess amount shall be payable by the Applicable Foreign Borrower within three Business Days following demand by Agent. If as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of all outstanding Norwegian Revolver Loans and the Norwegian LC Obligations exceed the Norwegian Revolver Commitment, the excess amount shall be payable by the Norwegian Borrowers within three Business Days following demand by Agent. In no event shall the aggregate Applicable Foreign Borrower Commitments for all members of a Foreign Borrower Group exceed the Foreign Revolver Commitments for such Foreign Borrower Group.

2.13 Obligations of the non-U.S. Loan Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, except as otherwise expressly agreed by the Agent and the North American Loan Party Agent, no Excluded Loan Party shall be liable or in any manner responsible for, or be deemed to have guaranteed, directly or indirectly, whether as a primary obligor, guarantor, indemnitor, or otherwise, and none of their assets shall secure, directly or indirectly, any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees, penalties, premiums, expenses, charges, reimbursements, indemnities or any other U.S. Facility Secured Obligations (but excluding Foreign Facility Secured Obligations to the extent constituting U.S. Facility Secured Obligations)) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

3.3 Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection.

Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money, except to the extent such treatment is inconsistent with any Applicable Law. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail amounts payable by any Borrower under Section 3.4, 3.7, 3.8 or 3.10 and the basis therefor, submitted to a Loan Party Agent by Agent or the affected Lender or Fronting Bank shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 Business Days following receipt of the certificate. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as applicable) and divided by the number of days in the shorter period (360 days, in the example), and the parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material distinction between the nominal and effective rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates and that the calculations herein are to be made using the nominal rate method and not on any basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest.

3.4 Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers within each Borrower Group shall reimburse Agent and Security Trustees for all Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Agent and Security Trustees in reference to such Borrower Group or its related Loan Party Group Obligations or Collateral of its related Loan Party Group. In addition to such Extraordinary Expenses, such Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent and Security Trustees for all reasonable and documented legal, accounting, appraisal, and other reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses, without duplication, incurred by them in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Agent’s or any Security Trustee’s Liens on any such Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify such Collateral; and (c) each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Loan Party within such Borrowers’ related Loan Party Group or Collateral securing such Loan Party Group’s Obligations, whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party (subject to the limitations of Section 10.1.15). All legal and accounting fees incurred by Agent Professionals or any applicable Security Trustee in reference to a Borrower’s related Loan Party Group or its related Loan Party Group Obligations or Collateral of such Borrower’s related Loan Party Group shall be charged to Borrowers within such Borrower Group at the actual rate charged by such Agent Professionals or such Security Trustee; provided that Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse Agent and Security Trustees for legal fees shall be limited to the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of Vinson & Elkins LLP, U.S. counsel to Agent, Norton Rose Fulbright, as foreign counsel to Agent and Security Trustees (other than in Belgium, New Zealand and Norway), LYDIAN, Belgian counsel to Agent and Security Trustees, Bell Gully, New Zealand counsel to Agent and Security

216

Trustees, BA-HR, Norwegian counsel to Agent and Security Trustees and, if necessary, of one local counsel in each other relevant jurisdiction (which may include a local counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions). In addition to the Extraordinary Expenses of Agent and Security Trustees, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event Default, Borrowers shall reimburse Fronting Banks and Lenders for the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Fronting Banks and Lenders, as a whole, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of their respective rights under the Loan Documents, including all such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or Insolvency Proceeding. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin (or New Zealand Applicable Margin or Singapore Applicable Margin) should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall be due and payable in accordance with Section 3.3.

3.5 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Interest Period Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Australian Bank Bill Rate, the Canadian BA Rate, LIBOR, the New Zealand Bank Bill Rate, NIBOR or SIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell bills of exchange denominated in, or to take deposits of, Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, a currency in the London interbank market, Canadian Dollars through bankers’ acceptances, Norwegian Kroner in the Norwegian interbank market or Singapore Dollars in the Singapore interbank market then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue affected Interest Period Loans or to convert Floating Rate Loans to affected Interest Period Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers of the affected Borrower Group shall prepay or, if applicable and other than in the case of NIBOR Loans (which must be prepaid in such instance), convert all affected Interest Period Loans of such Lender to Floating Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Interest Period Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Interest Period Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers of the affected Borrower Group shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. If any Lender invokes this Section 3.5, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to notify a Loan Party Agent and Agent when the conditions giving rise to such action no longer exists, provided, that such Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers or to any other Person for its failure to provide such notice.

3.6 Inability to Determine Rates. If Required Lenders notify Agent for any reason in connection with a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an Interest Period Loan that (a) deposits or bankers’ acceptances are not being offered to (i) with respect to LIBOR, banks in the London interbank market, (ii) with respect to Canadian BA Rate, Persons in Canada, (iii) with respect to the Australian Bank Bill Rate, Persons in Australia, (iv) with respect to the New Zealand Bank Bill Rate, Persons in New Zealand, (v) with respect to NIBOR, banks in the Norwegian interbank market, or (vi) with respect to SIBOR, banks in the Singapore

217

interbank market, in each case for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Australian Bank Bill Rate, the New Zealand Bank Bill Rate, LIBOR, the Canadian BA Rate, NIBOR or SIBOR for the requested Interest Period, or (c) the Australian Bank Bill Rate, the New Zealand Bank Bill Rate, LIBOR, the Canadian BA Rate, NIBOR or SIBOR for the requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, then Agent will promptly so notify a Loan Party Agent and each Applicable Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Applicable Lenders to make or maintain affected Interest Period Loans shall be suspended until Agent (upon instruction by Required Lenders) revokes such notice, and NIBOR Loans shall be repaid at the end of the Interest Period therefor or, if a Norwegian Borrower so requires, the Agent and the European Loan Party Agent shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining NIBOR. Any alternative basis agreed with respect to NIBOR pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all Norwegian Lenders and Norwegian Borrowers, be binding on all parties. Upon receipt of such notice, a Loan Party Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of an Interest Period Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for a Floating Rate Loan (or, in the case of a request for a NIBOR Loan, a Norwegian Swingline Loan). If any Lender invokes this Section 3.6, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to notify the relevant Loan Party Agent and Agent when the conditions giving rise to such action no longer exists, provided, that such Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers or to any other Person for its failure to provide such notice.

3.7 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1 Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Australian Bank Bill Rate, Canadian BA Rate, LIBOR, the New Zealand Bank Bill Rate, NIBOR or SIBOR) or Fronting Bank; or

(b) impose on any Lender or Fronting Bank or the London interbank market, the Norwegian interbank market, the Singapore interbank market or the New Zealand, Australian or Canadian market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit or participation in LC Obligations;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or Fronting Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Fronting Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Fronting Bank, the Borrower Group to which such Lender or Fronting Bank has a Commitment shall pay to such Lender or Fronting Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Fronting Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.3. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.7.1 shall not apply (i) to any Taxes or (ii) to the extent that any amount is compensated for by the payment of any amount pursuant to Section 3.8.

218

3.7.2 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Fronting Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Fronting Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital, liquidity or leverage requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Fronting Bank’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations to a level below that which such Lender, Fronting Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, Fronting Bank’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower Group to which such Lender or Fronting Bank has a Commitment will pay to such Lender or Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered, in each case, in accordance with Section 3.3.

3.7.3 Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Fronting Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers of a Borrower Group shall not be required to compensate a Lender to such Borrower Group or Fronting Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that the Lender or Fronting Bank notifies a Loan Party Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.8 Additional Reserve Costs.

(a) If and so long as any Lender is required by the Bank of England, the European Central Bank or the Financial Services Authority or any other monetary or other authority of the UK to make special deposits, to maintain reserve asset ratios or to pay fees, in each case in respect of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans, such Lender may require the Borrower in respect of such Loans 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 Rate calculated in accordance with the formula and in the manner set forth in Schedule 3.8.

(b) Any additional cost owed pursuant to Section 3.8(a) above shall be payable to the Agent by the applicable Borrower for the account of such Lender on each date on which interest is payable for such Loan.

3.9 Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7 or 3.8, or if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments with respect to a Lender under Section 5.8, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender,

219

such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender or unlawful. The Borrower or Borrowers of each affected Borrower Group shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender that has issued a Commitment to such Borrower Group in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.10 Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, an Interest Period Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of an Interest Period Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, or (c) any Borrower of either Borrower Group fails to repay an Interest Period Loan when required hereunder, then Borrowers of such Borrower Group shall pay to Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses and expenses that it sustains as a consequence thereof, including any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits of matching funds, but excluding loss of margin. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 3.10 shall be due and payable in accordance with Section 3.3. Lenders shall not be required to purchase deposits in the London interbank market or any other applicable market to fund any Interest Period Loan, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if each Lender had purchased such deposits to fund such Loans.

3.11 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower Group to which such excess interest relates or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to such Borrower Group. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of Section 3.11, if any provision of any of the Loan Documents would obligate any Canadian Domiciled Loan Party to make any payment of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in the receipt of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by the applicable recipient of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (i) first, by reducing the amount or rates of interest required to be paid by the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties to the applicable recipient under the Loan Documents; and (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts

220

required to be paid by the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties to the applicable recipient which would constitute interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if the applicable recipient shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada), then Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to Agent, to obtain reimbursement from the applicable recipient in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by the applicable recipient to the applicable Canadian Domiciled Loan Party. Any amount or rate of interest with respect to the Canadian Facility Obligations referred to in this Section 3.11 shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that any Canadian Revolver Loans to any Canadian Borrower remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro rated over the period from the Closing Date to the date of Full Payment of the Canadian Facility Obligations, and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination.

224

in the case of insufficient funds owing by a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement account or other appropriate account.

4.1.2 Fundings by Lenders; Settlement.

(a) Each Applicable Lender shall timely honor its Borrower Group Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans under such Borrower Group Commitment that is properly requested hereunder; provided, that, subject to Sections 2.1.4 and 2.1.5, no Lender shall be required to honor its Borrower Group Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of any Borrowing that would cause the Revolver Loans to a Borrower Group to exceed the aggregate Borrowing Base for such Borrower Group or, with respect to any Applicable Foreign Borrower, the limit contained in Section 2.12. Agent shall endeavor to notify the Applicable Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by (i) 12:00 noon (Local Time) on the proposed funding date for Floating Rate Loans to U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrowers, (ii) 12:00 noon (Local Time) two Business Days before any proposed funding date for Floating Rate Loans to Foreign Borrowers (other than Canadian Borrowers and Norwegian Borrowers), or (iii) 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) at least two Business Days before any proposed funding of Interest Period Loans. Each Applicable Lender shall fund to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which event each Applicable Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from the Applicable Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver Loans as directed by the applicable Loan Party Agent. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from an Applicable Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Applicable Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower or Borrowers within such Borrower Group. If an Applicable Lender’s share of any Borrowing is not received by Agent, then the Borrower or Borrowers within the Borrower Group agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may, in its discretion, fund any request for a Borrowing of Revolver Loans as Swingline Loans.

(b) To facilitate administration of the Revolver Loans, the Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower or any other Loan Party) that settlement among them with respect to Swingline Loans and other Revolver Loans may take place on a date determined from time to time by the Agent, which shall occur at least once every (i) five (5) Business Days with respect to U.S. Swingline Loans, Canadian Swingline Loans and any other Revolver Loans (excluding other Swingline Loans) and (ii) ten (10) Business Days with respect to Australian Swingline Loans, Belgian Swingline Loans, Dutch Swingline Loans, New Zealand Swingline Loans, Norwegian Swingline Loans, Singapore Swingline Loans and UK Swingline Loans. Norwegian Borrowers authorize Agent to settle Norwegian Swingline Loans into NIBOR Loans with one month Interest Periods. On each settlement date, settlement shall be made with each Lender in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by the Agent to the Lenders.

225

Between settlement dates, the Agent may in its discretion (but is not obligated to) apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by a Loan Party Agent or any Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements with the Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among the Lenders hereunder, then each Applicable Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the applicable Swingline Lender a Pro Rata participation in each unpaid Swingline Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after the Agent’s request therefor.

4.1.3 Notices. Each Borrower authorizes the Agent and Lenders to extend Loans, convert or continue Revolver Loans, effect selections of interest rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of applicable Borrowers based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions by Loan Party Agents to the Agent. Each Loan Party Agent shall confirm each such request by reasonably prompt delivery to the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent or Lenders, the records of the Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of the Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by the Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Loan Party Agent’s behalf.

4.2 Defaulting Lender.

4.2.1 Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations to fund or participate in Loans or Letters of Credit, the Agent may exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender from the calculation of Pro Rata shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 14.1.1(c).

4.2.2 Payments; Fees. The Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to the Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. The Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s LC Obligations, or readvance the amounts to Borrowers hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2.1. If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Sections 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 3.2.5, 3.2.6, 3.2.7, 3.2.8, 3.2.9, or 3.2.10 shall be paid to such Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.2.2, the LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender may be reallocated to the other Lenders only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Total Revolver Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. The Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.

226

4.2.3 Cure. Borrowers, the Agent and each Fronting Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and Loans, and all outstanding Revolver Loans, LC Obligations and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by the Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, the Agent and each Fronting Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

4.3 Number and Amount of Interest Period Loans; Determination of Rate. For ease of administration, all Interest Period Loans of the same Type to a Borrower Group having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods and the same currency shall be aggregated together, and such Loans shall be allocated among the Applicable Lenders on a Pro Rata basis. With respect to any Borrower Group, no more than six (6) Borrowings of Interest Period Loans may be outstanding at any time, and each Borrowing of Interest Period Loans when made, continued or converted shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, or an increment of $100,000 in excess thereof. Upon determining Australian Bank Bill Rate, Canadian BA Rate, LIBOR, New Zealand Bank Bill Rate, NIBOR or SIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers within a Borrower Group, Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Loan Party Agent thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by such Loan Party Agent, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

PAYMENTS

5.1 General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, and in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day

230

and such extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Any payment of an Interest Period Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.10. Any prepayment of Loans to a Borrower Group shall be applied first to costs and expenses of Agent and Security Trustees (including any Extraordinary Expenses) relating to such Borrower Group, second to Floating Rate Loans (and Agent may, in its discretion, apply such prepayment to Swingline Loans before other Revolver Loans) of such Borrower Group, and then to Interest Period Loans of such Borrower Group; provided, that as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, prepayments of Interest Period Loans may, at the option of Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group and Agent, be held by Agent as Cash Collateral and applied to such Loans at the end of their Interest Periods (in which case no compensation under Section 3.10 hereof shall be payable with respect to such prepayment). All payments with respect to any U.S. Facility Obligations shall be made in Dollars (other than under Sections 2.10.2(a) and 3.2.10(b) with respect to U.S. Letters of Credit denominated in currencies other than Dollars) and all payments with respect to any other Obligation shall be made in the currency of the underlying Obligation. Any payment made contrary to the requirements of the preceding sentence shall be subject to the terms of Section 5.11.

All (a) Australian Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Australian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (b) Belgian Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Belgian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (c) Canadian Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Canadian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (d) Dutch Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Dutch Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (e) New Zealand Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the New Zealand Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (f) Norwegian Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Norwegian Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (g) Singapore Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Singapore Revolver Commitment Termination Date, (h) UK Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the UK Revolver Commitment Termination Date, and (i) U.S. Facility Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the U.S. Revolver Commitment Termination Date, in each case, unless payment of such Obligations is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium, subject to, in the case of Interest Period Loans, the payment of costs set forth in Section 3.10 (except to the extent provided in Section 5.1). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrowers of the Borrower Group owing such Overadvance shall, on the sooner of Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower of such Borrower Group has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of the related Overadvance Loan to zero. If as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise the sum of all outstanding U.S. Revolver Loans and U.S. LC Obligations exceeds the U.S. Revolver Commitments, the excess amount shall be payable by the U.S. Borrowers within three Business Days following demand by Agent.

5.3 Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, within 10 Business Days of demand by Agent therefor.

231

5.4 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent, Security Trustees, Fronting Banks or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers is made to Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank, or any Lender, or Agent, any applicable Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent, such Security Trustee, such Fronting Bank or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a Creditor Representative or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Secured Obligations in the category. Monies and proceeds obtained from a Loan Party shall not be applied to its Excluded Swap Obligations, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to amounts obtained from other Loan Parties in the applicable Loan Party Group to preserve the allocations in any applicable category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of the maximum Secured Bank Product Obligations last reported to Agent or the actual Secured Bank Product Obligations as calculated by the methodology reported to Agent for determining the amount due. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Secured Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Party. If a Secured Party fails to deliver such calculation within five days following request by Agent, Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is zero. The allocations set forth in this Section 5.5.1 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Secured Parties as among themselves, and any allocation within clauses (a) through (i) of proceeds of the realization of Collateral may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. This Section 5.5.1 is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower.

5.5.2 Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

5.6 Application of Payments. The ledger balance in the Dominion Accounts of each Borrower Group as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Loan Party Group Obligations of such Borrower Group at the beginning of the next Business Day during the existence of any Cash Dominion Event; provided, that Agent may, in its discretion, apply the ledger balance in any Dominion Account of any Australian Borrower, New Zealand Borrower, Norwegian Borrower, Singapore Borrower or UK Borrower to the respective Loan Party Group Obligations of such Borrower Group whether or not a Cash Dominion Event exists. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group as long as no Event of Default exists. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems advisable; provided, that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the option of Borrowers of the applicable Borrower Group in accordance with Section 5.1, Agent shall not apply any payments to any Interest Period Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

5.7 Loan Account; Account Stated.

5.7.1 Loan Account. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations of

242

Borrowers within each Borrower Group resulting from each Loan made to such Borrowers or issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrowers from time to time. Any failure of Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower to pay any amount owing hereunder. With respect to U.S. Borrowers, Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of the North American Loan Party Agent, and each U.S. Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Secured Obligations including its guarantee of the Secured Obligations of the Foreign Borrowers. With respect to Norwegian Borrowers, Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of the Norwegian Borrowers, and each Norwegian Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Norwegian Facility Obligations.

5.7.2 Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within 45 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.8 Taxes. For purposes of this Section 5.8, the term “Lender” includes any Fronting Bank.

5.8.1 Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by or on behalf of any Loan Party of Obligations shall be free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, unless required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law requires any Loan Party or Agent to withhold or deduct any Taxes, the withholding or deduction shall be based on Applicable Law and the information provided pursuant to this Section 5.8 and Section 5.9, and Borrowers or Agent shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased so that the applicable Credit Parties and Security Trustees receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.8.1) had been made. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities.

5.8.2 Payment. Borrowers shall (jointly and severally within each Borrower Group) indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse each Credit Party and each Security Trustee for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.8.2) paid by such Credit Party or such Security Trustee, with respect to any Obligations of such Borrower’s Borrower Group, whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and including all penalties, interest and reasonable expenses relating thereto. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and basis for calculation of any such payment or liability delivered to a Loan Party Agent by a Credit Party or a Security Trustee (with a copy to Agent), shall be conclusive, absent manifest error and all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section 5.8.2 shall be due in accordance with Section 5.3. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower, the relevant Loan Party Agent shall deliver to Agent a receipt from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

243

5.8.3 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Credit Party or any Security Trustee shall become aware that it is entitled to claim a refund or credit from a Governmental Authority in respect of any Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8, such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall promptly notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and, if such Credit Party or such Security Trustee determines in good faith that making a claim for refund will not have a material adverse effect on its Taxes or business operations, shall, within 60 days after receipt of a request by such Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund. If a Credit Party or a Security Trustee determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section 5.8 with respect to the Indemnified Tax or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party or such Security Trustee, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrowers agree in writing to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus interest attributable to the period during which the Borrowers held such funds) to such Credit Party or such Security Trustee in the event that such Credit Party or such Security Trustee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Credit Party or any Security Trustee to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes) to any Borrower or any other Person.

5.8.4 New Zealand Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 5.8. (other than Sections 5.8.1, 5.8.2, 5.8.3 and this Section 5.8.4) shall not apply to any advance under any Loan Document to any New Zealand Borrower or any other Borrower required to withhold tax in accordance with New Zealand law (each a “Relevant Borrower” for purposes of this Section 5.8.4).

(a) Each Relevant Borrower must:

(i) elect to register as an “approved issuer” (as defined in section YA 1 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (NZ)) and register the facilities under this Agreement with the Commissioner of Inland Revenue under section 86H of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971 (NZ) (the “Stamp Act”) in each case by not later than 10 working days after the date of this Agreement (or, alternatively, where applicable, such later date as the Relevant Borrower becomes a Relevant Borrower under this Agreement) and maintain such registrations at all times thereafter (provided it is lawfully able to do so); and

(ii) in respect of any payment of interest (or payment deemed by law to be interest) to Lenders who are not resident in New Zealand for taxation purposes, and who are not engaged in business in New Zealand through a fixed establishment in New Zealand, make by not later than the due date thereof the relevant payment of approved

244

issuer levy (as defined in section 86F of the Stamp Act) in accordance with section 86K of the Stamp Act in order to reduce (to the extent permitted by law) the applicable level of non-resident withholding tax to zero percent.

(b) Where a Relevant Borrower makes a payment of interest to which clause 5.8.4(a)(ii) applies the Relevant Borrower shall be entitled to deduct from that payment of interest an amount equal to the amount of approved issuer levy which is payable in relation to that interest payment.

5.8.5 Australia Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 5.8 (other than this Section 5.8.5) shall not apply, and instead the provisions of this Section 5.8.5 shall apply, to any advance under any Loan Document to any Australian Borrower or any other Borrower required to withhold tax in accordance with Australian law (each a “Relevant Borrower” for purposes of this Section 5.8.5).

(a) In respect of any advance under any Loan Document to a Relevant Borrower, the definition of “Foreign Lender” as otherwise provided in this Agreement is hereby modified for all purposes of this Agreement to include an Australian resident entity’s branch outside of Australia.

(b) Definitions. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.8.5, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“GST” has the meaning given to it in the Australian A New Tax System (Goods and Services) Tax Act 1999 (Cth), as shall any other term used in Section 5.8.5(j) which is defined for purposes of that Act.

“Qualifying Lender” means, in relation to a Relevant Borrower, a Foreign Lender which:

(i) derives all interest on and all fees payable in connection with any Loan Document in carrying on business in Australia at or through a “permanent establishment” in Australia for the purposes of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth), other than as a limited partner in a VCLP, ESVCLP or AFOF (as those terms are defined for the purposes of that Act); or

(ii) is a Treaty Lender with respect to taxes imposed in or under the laws of Australia.

“Treaty State” means a jurisdiction having a double taxation agreement (a “Treaty”) with Australia in force in accordance with the Australian International Tax Agreements Act 1953 (Cth), which makes provision for full exemption from tax withheld on interest paid by an Australian resident to a Treaty Lender.

(c) Tax Gross-up. Save to the extent required under any applicable law, all payments to be made by a Relevant Borrower to any Foreign Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes. If a Relevant Borrower is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes, or an

245

amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any Foreign Lender, the sum payable by such Relevant Borrower (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that such Foreign Lender receives a sum equal to the sum that such Foreign Lender would have received if no such deduction or withholding (including deductions or withholdings applicable to any additional amounts paid under this Section 5.8.5(c)) had been made; provided, that this Section 5.8.5(c) shall not apply to the extent that such deduction or withholding relates to any withholding tax imposed under FATCA or would not have arisen if the relevant Foreign Lender had complied with its obligations under Section 5.8.5(f) (Foreign Lender’s Status), or Section 5.8.5(g) (Double Taxation Relief) or Subdivision 12-E of Schedule 1 to the Australian Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth) to the extent the Foreign Lender is required to have a TFN or ABN (as defined for purposes of those provisions) under Australian law, as the case may be.

(d) Tax Indemnity.

(i) The Relevant Borrowers shall (within three Business Days of demand by the Agent) pay to a Lender an amount equal to the loss, liability or cost which that Lender determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on account of Taxes by that Lender in respect of a Loan Document.

(ii) Clause (d)(i) above shall not apply:

(A) with respect to any Taxes assessed on a Lender:

(1) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which such Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(2) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in such jurisdiction,

if such Taxes are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by such Lender; or

(B) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(1) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up); or

(2) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in that Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up) applied.

246

(iii) A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 5.8.5(d)(i) above shall promptly notify Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which Agent shall notify the Borrowers.

(iv) A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the Relevant Borrowers under this Section 5.8.5(d), notify Agent.

(e) Tax Credit. If a Relevant Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Lender determines that:

(i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(ii) that Lender has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit.

the Lender shall as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of such Tax Credit pay an amount to the Relevant Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Relevant Borrower.

(f) Foreign Lender’s Status.

Each Foreign Lender certifies to the Agent and the Relevant Borrowers (on the date hereof or, in the case of a Foreign Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to a transfer or assignment, on the date on which the relevant transfer or assignment becomes effective) that it is a Qualifying Lender and each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Agent if there is any change in its position from that set out above. Upon receipt of any such notification from a Foreign Lender, the Agent shall promptly notify the Relevant Borrowers thereof. If any Foreign Lender is not or ceases to be a Qualifying Lender or does not comply with or perform the formalities required to be a Qualifying Lender (except by reason of any Change in Tax Law after the date the Foreign Lender becomes a party to this agreement) the Relevant Borrower shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 5.8.5 to pay with respect to the Foreign Lender any amount greater than the amount which the Relevant Borrower would have been liable to pay pursuant to this Section 5.8.5 with respect to that Foreign Lender if that Foreign Lender had been, or had not ceased to be on that date, a Qualifying Lender and had complied with or had performed the formalities required to be a Qualifying Lender.

(g) Double Taxation Relief.

If, and to the extent that, the effect of Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up) or Section 5.8.5(d) (Tax Indemnity) can be mitigated by virtue of the provisions of any applicable double taxation agreement or any applicable tax law (whether by a claim to repayment of any taxes referred to in Section 5.8.5(c) (Tax Gross-up) or Section 5.8.5(d) (Tax Indemnity) or otherwise) the relevant Foreign Lender shall co-operate with the Relevant Borrower with a view to ensuring the application of such double taxation agreement or applicable tax law so far as relevant.

247

(h) Notification of Requirement to Deduct Tax.

If, at any time, a Relevant Borrower is required by law to make any deduction or withholding from any sum payable by it hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (or if thereafter there is any change in the rates at which or the manner in which such deductions or withholdings are calculated), such Relevant Borrower shall promptly notify Agent.

(i) Evidence of Payment of Tax.

If a Relevant Borrower makes any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in respect of which it is required to make any deduction or withholding, it shall pay the full amount required to be deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation or other authority within the time allowed for such payment under applicable law and shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, deliver to the Agent on behalf of the Foreign Lenders to which such payment was made evidence of payment as is reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(j) Goods and Services Tax.

(i) All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a taxable supply or taxable supplies for GST purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of GST and the party liable to make that payment shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the GST payable on that supply, subject to receiving a valid tax invoice from the supplier of that supply.

(ii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense the reimbursement or indemnity (as the case may be) shall be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit that the Lender (or representative member of the GST Group of which the Lender is a member) is entitled to.

(k) Stamp Taxes.

The Borrowers shall:

(i) pay all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document; and

(ii) within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or liability that Lender incurs in relation to any stamp duty, registration or other similar Tax paid or payable in respect of any Loan Document.

5.8.6 Belgium Tax Matters. The provisions of Section 5.8 (other than this Section 5.8.6) shall not apply, and instead the provisions of this Section 5.8.6 shall apply, to any advance under any Loan Document to any Belgian Borrower or any other Borrower that is required to make a Tax Deduction in accordance with the relevant provisions of Belgian law (each a “Relevant Borrower” for the purposes of this Section 5.8.6).

248

(a) Definitions. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.8.6, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Qualifying Lender” means a Lender which is beneficially entitled to interest payable to that Lender in respect of an advance under a Loan Document and is:

(a) pursuant to article 107, §2, 5°, a) second dash of the Royal Decree implementing the Belgian Income Tax Code:

(i) a tax resident within the European Economic Area or in a jurisdiction having a double taxation agreement with Belgium; and

(ii) a credit institution, i.e. an undertaking whose activity consists of:

(A) receiving deposits or other repayable funds from the public and granting credits for its own account; or

(B) issuing electronic payment instruments; or

(b) a Treaty Lender.

“Treaty State” means a jurisdiction having a double taxation agreement (a “Treaty”) with Belgium which makes provision for full exemption from tax withheld on interest paid by a Belgian tax resident to a Treaty Lender.

(b) Tax Gross-up.

(i) Each Relevant Borrower shall make all payments to be made by it under any Loan Document without any Tax Deduction unless a Tax Deduction is required by law.

(ii) A Relevant Borrower shall, promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a Tax Deduction) notify Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall promptly notify Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the Relevant Borrower.

(iii) If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by a Relevant Borrower, the amount of the payment due from that Relevant Borrower shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) is equal to the payment which would have been made by the Relevant Borrower if no Tax Deduction had been required.

(iv) A payment shall not be increased under clause (iii) above by reason of a Tax Deduction on account of Taxes imposed by Belgium if, on the date on which the payment falls due:

(A) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a Qualifying Lender, but on that

249

date that Lender was not or had ceased to be a Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(B) the relevant Lender is a Qualifying Lender and the payment to the relevant Lender could have been made to the Lender without the Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under clause (vii) below.

(v) If a Relevant Borrower is required to make a Tax Deduction, that Relevant Borrower shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.

(vi) Within thirty days of making either a Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction, the Relevant Borrower making that Tax Deduction shall deliver to Agent for the benefit of the Lender entitled to the payment an evidence reasonably satisfactory to that Lender that the Tax Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any appropriate payment paid to the relevant taxing authority.

(vii) A Qualifying Lender and each Relevant Borrower which makes a payment to which that Qualifying Lender is entitled shall, within the applicable statutory period under Belgian law, complete any procedural formalities necessary for that Relevant Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a Tax Deduction.

(ii) Clause (c)(i) above shall not apply:

(A) with respect to any Taxes assessed on a Lender:

(1) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which such Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(2) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in such jurisdiction,

if such Taxes are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by such Lender; or

250

(B) to the extent a loss, liability or cost:

(1) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.8.6(b)(iii) (Tax Gross-up); or

(2) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.8.6(b)(iii) (Tax Gross-up) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 5.8.6(b)(iv) (Tax Gross-up) applied.

(iii) A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 5.8.6(c)(i) above shall promptly notify Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which Agent shall notify the Borrowers.

(iv) A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the Relevant Borrowers under this Section 5.8.6(c), notify Agent.

(d) Tax Credit. If a Relevant Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Lender determines that:

(i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(ii) that Lender has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit,

the Lender shall (to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of such Tax Credit and to the extent that it is lawful for it to do so) as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of such Tax Credit pay an amount to the Relevant Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Relevant Borrower.

(e) Lender Status Confirmation. Each New Lender shall indicate, in the Assignment and Acceptance which it executes on becoming a party, and for the benefit of Agent and the Relevant Borrowers and without liability to any Relevant Borrower, which of the following categories it falls within:

(i) not a Qualifying Lender;

(ii) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or

(iii) a Treaty Lender.

If a New Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 5.8.6(e), then such New Lender or Lender (as appropriate) shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Relevant Borrower) as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies Agent which category of Qualifying Lender applies (and Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Relevant Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Acceptance shall not be invalidated by any failure of a New Lender to comply with this Section 5.8.6(e).

251

(f) Value Added Tax.

(i) All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to clause (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any party under a Loan Document, that party shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any party other than the Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the Recipient in respect of that consideration),

(A) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT), the Relevant Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of VAT; the Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(B) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT), the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply. The Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(B) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense incurred in connection with such Loan Document, the reimbursement or indemnity (as the case may be) shall be for the full amount of cost or expense including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 5.8.6 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where

252

appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Belgium Value Added Tax Code).

(v) In relation to any supply made by a Lender to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender, that party must as promptly as reasonably practicable provide such Lender with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Lender’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(vi) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.8.6, a reference to “determines” or “determined” in connection with tax provisions contained in Section 5.8.6 means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination, acting reasonably.

5.8.7 Dutch Tax Matters. The provisions of Sections 5.8.2 and 5.8.3 shall not apply. Instead of Sections 5.8.2 and 5.8.3, and in addition to Section 5.8.1, the provisions of this Section 5.8.7 shall apply to any advance under any Loan Document to any Dutch Borrower or any other Borrower that is required to make a Tax Deduction in accordance with the relevant provisions of Dutch law (each a “Relevant Borrower” for the purposes of this Section 5.8.7).

(a) Tax Indemnity.

(ii) Clause (a)(i) above shall not apply:

(A) with respect to any Taxes assessed on a Lender:

(1) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is incorporated or, if different, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which such Lender is treated as resident for tax purposes; or

(2) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s Lending Office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in such jurisdiction,

if such Taxes are imposed on or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by such Lender; or

(B) to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 5.8.1.

253

(iii) A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 5.8.7(a)(i)above shall promptly notify Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which Agent shall notify the Borrowers.

(iv) A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the Relevant Borrowers under this Section 5.8.7(a), notify Agent.

(b) Tax Credit. If a Relevant Borrower makes a Tax Payment and the relevant Lender determines that:

(i) a Tax Credit is attributable either to an increased payment of which that Tax Payment forms part, or to that Tax Payment; and

(ii) that Lender has obtained, utilized and retained that Tax Credit,

the Lender shall promptly following receipt of such Tax Credit pay an amount to the Relevant Borrower which that Lender determines will leave it (after that payment) in the same after-Tax position as it would have been in had the Tax Payment not been required to be made by the Relevant Borrower.

254

(B) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT), the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply. The Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(B) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense incurred in connection with such Loan Document, the reimbursement or indemnity (as the case may be) shall be for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 5.8.7 to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Dutch Value Added Tax Code).

(vi) Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.8.7, a reference to “determines” or “determined” in connection with tax provisions contained in Section 5.8.7 means a determination made in the absolute discretion of the person making the determination, acting reasonably.

5.8.8 Singapore Tax Matters.

5.9.3 Lender Obligations. Each Lender shall promptly notify the relevant Loan Party Agent and Agent of any change in circumstances that would change any claimed Tax exemption or reduction. Each Lender, severally and not jointly with any other Lender, shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) affected Borrowers of the Borrower Group to which such Lender has issued a Commitment and Agent for any Taxes, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees limited to the fees, disbursements and other charges or one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) incurred by or asserted against such affected Borrower of such Borrower Group or Agent by any Governmental Authority due to such Lender’s failure to deliver, or inaccuracy or deficiency in, any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to Section 5.8 or this Section 5.9. Each Lender authorizes Agent to set off any amounts due to Agent under this Section against any amounts payable to such Lender under any Loan Document. If a payment made to Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent such documentation

271

prescribed by Applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations under such sections, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.9.3, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

5.10 Guarantees.

5.10.1 Joint and Several Liability of U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Secured Obligations and all agreements of each other Loan Party under the Credit Documents. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party agrees that its guarantee obligations as a Guarantor of the Secured Obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such guarantee obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Secured Obligations, and that such guarantee obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Secured Obligations or Credit Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.10) or any other Credit Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any other Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guarantee); (d) the insolvency of any Loan Party; (e) any election by Agent or any other Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any other Secured Party against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Secured Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Secured Obligations.

5.10.2 Waivers by U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party hereby expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or the other Secured Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Secured Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Secured Obligations. It is agreed among each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, Agent and the other Secured Parties that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent, Fronting Banks and Lenders would decline

272

to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Agent and the other Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon the Collateral of the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any other Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party consents to such action and, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party might otherwise have had. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any other Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall not impair any other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Agent may bid all or a portion of the Secured Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral of the U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Secured Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Secured Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.10, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any other Secured Party might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

5.10.3 Extent of Liability of U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties; Contribution.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s liability under this Section 5.10 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party makes a payment under this Section 5.10 of any Secured Obligations (other than amounts for which such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, exceeds the amount that such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each U.S.

273

Domiciled Loan Party had paid the aggregate Secured Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties, then such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other U.S. Domiciled Loan Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such U.S. Domiciled Loan Party under this Section 5.10 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall limit the liability of any Loan Party to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Loan Party (including Loans advanced to any other Loan Party and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Loan Party), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Loan Party’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Secured Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Loan Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

(d) Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.10(d) voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Secured Obligations. Each U.S. Domiciled Loan Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

5.10.4 Joint and Several Liability of Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties the prompt payment and performance of, all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations and all agreements of each other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party under the Credit Documents (but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any U.S. Facility Secured Obligations other than Foreign Facility Secured Obligations to the extent constituting U.S. Facility Secured Obligations) (the “Foreign Cross-Guarantee”). Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party agrees that its guarantee obligations as a Guarantor of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations of other Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties hereunder constitute a continuing guarantee of payment and not of collection, that such guarantee obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations, and that such guarantee obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity,

274

enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Foreign Facility Secured Obligations or Credit Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.10) or any other Credit Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect, register, stamp or terminate a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guarantee for the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party in respect thereof (including the release, variation or discharge (except upon Full Payment of all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations) of any security or guarantee of, or the release of, any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person (other than a release of such Foreign Domiciled Loan Party) whether under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person or otherwise); (iv) the insolvency of any Loan Party or any Insolvency Proceeding in relation to any Loan Party; (v) any election by Agent or any other Secured Party in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law); (vi) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law) or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any other Secured Party against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Secured Obligations under Section 502 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or the equivalent under any other Applicable Law) or otherwise; (viii) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of, or dissolution or change in the members or status of, any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or any other Person; or (ix) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations.

(b) Without prejudice to the generality of Section 5.10.4(a) above, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party expressly confirms that it intends that the guarantee created by this Section 5.10.4 shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Credit Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Credit Documents for the purposes of or in connection with (i) acquisitions of any nature; (ii) increasing working capital; (iii) enabling investor distributions to be made; (iv) carrying out restructurings; (v) refinancing existing credit facilities; (vi) refinancing any other Indebtedness; (vii) making credit available to new Borrowers; (viii) any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and (ix) any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

5.10.5 Waivers by Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties.

(a) Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party hereby expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Foreign Facility Secured Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party waives all

275

defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Foreign Facility Secured Obligations. It is agreed among each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party, Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent, Fronting Banks and Lenders (as applicable) would decline to make further Loans and issue further Letters of Credit to Foreign Domiciled Loan Parties. Each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party acknowledges that its guarantee pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business and those of its direct or indirect holding companies, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Agent and the other Foreign Facility Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon the Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party consents to such action and, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party might otherwise have had. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party to seek a deficiency judgment against any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party shall not impair any other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each Foreign Domiciled Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Foreign Domiciled Loan Party’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Agent may bid all or a portion of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale or sale as a result of an enforcement action, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, the amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Foreign Facility Secured Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.10, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any other Foreign Facility Secured Party might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

276

5.10.6 Belgian Limitations.

(a) The total liability under this Section 5.10 of any Belgian Domiciled Loan Party for the obligations of any other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party under the Credit Documents, shall at all times be limited to an aggregate amount (without double counting) not exceeding the sum of:

(i) the aggregate of all principal amounts made available to such Belgian Domiciled Loan Party or its direct or indirect Subsidiaries under any intra group arrangement (regardless of the form thereof, including through the subscription of debt instrument) that have been financed, directly or indirectly, by a borrowing under this Agreement (without any reduction for any repayment thereof); plus

(ii) seventy per cent (70%) of such Belgian Domiciled Loan Party’s own funds (eigen vermogen/capitaux propres) as referred to in section 88 of the Belgian Royal Decree of 30 January 2001 implementing the Belgian Companies Code, at the time a demand for payment under this Section 5.10 is made.

The result of the calculation as described in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall in relation to any relevant Belgian Domiciled Loan Party be referred to as the “Guaranteed Belgian Amount”.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, no limitation shall apply to the liability of any Belgian Domiciled Loan Party for any amounts owed by its direct or indirect Subsidiaries under the Credit Documents and the Belgian Domiciled Loan Party shall be liable for such amounts in full.

(c) Each Belgian Domiciled Loan Party shall provide Agent with an update on the relevant Guaranteed Belgian Amount upon the request of Agent, with such information as Agent may reasonably require, it being understood that the own funds (eigen vermogen/capitaux propres) as specified under clause (a)(ii) above may be derived from the latest audited financial statements of the respective Belgian Domiciled Loan Party. In the event of a dispute regarding the Guaranteed Belgian Amount, a certificate stating such amount from the statutory auditors of such Belgian Domiciled Loan Party (or, if there is no statutory auditor for such Belgian Domiciled Loan Party, an independent accounting firm of international reputation appointed by Agent in its sole discretion) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

5.10.7 Singapore Limitations. With respect to the liability of a Singapore Domiciled Loan Party under its Foreign Cross-Guarantee, such Foreign Cross-Guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the Foreign Cross-Guarantee from such Singapore Domiciled Loan Party constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 76 of the Companies Act (Chapter 50) of Singapore.

5.10.8 UK Limitations. With respect to the liability of a UK Domiciled Loan Party under its Foreign Cross-Guarantee, such Foreign Cross-Guarantee does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the Foreign Cross-Guarantee from such UK Domiciled Loan Party constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006.

5.10.9 U.S. Limitations. The Foreign Cross-Guarantee shall not require any Foreign Domiciled Loan Party (that is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code) to guarantee any Secured Obligations of any other Foreign Domiciled Loan Party that is disregarded as an entity separate from any U.S. Subsidiary for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

277

5.10.10 Norwegian Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the liability of a Norwegian Domiciled Loan Party under its Foreign Cross-Guarantee and under any other provision of any Loan Document shall be limited by such mandatory provisions of Norwegian law applicable to each Norwegian Domiciled Loan Party or any of them limiting its or their legal capacity or ability to grant any guarantee, security or other financial assistance (including, but not limited to, the provisions of Sections 8-7 and 8-10 of the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act (Norwegian: aksjeloven). If and to the extent applicable, the provisions of (and/or principles derived from) the Norwegian Financial Contracts Act of 1999 (to the extent not mandatory provisions) shall not apply to any of the Loan Documents. The liability of a Norwegian Domiciled Loan Party under its Foreign Cross-Guarantee shall be limited to a maximum amount of USD 120,000,000 (as such amount may be increased from time to time in writing among the Agent and the Norwegian Borrowers) plus interest and costs.

5.10.11 Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Agent, Fronting Banks and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers and Guarantors make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise so that Borrowers and Guarantors share an identity of interests such that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the others. Borrowers and Guarantors render services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and/or Guarantors, as the case may be, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and Guarantors (including, inter alia, the payment by Borrowers and Guarantors of creditors of the other Borrowers or Guarantors and guarantees by Borrowers and Guarantors of indebtedness of the other Borrowers and Guarantors and provide administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers and Guarantors). Borrowers and Guarantors have centralized accounting and legal services, certain common officers and directors and generally do not provide consolidating financial statements to creditors. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Agent’s, Fronting Banks’ and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

5.10.12 Subordination. Each Loan Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Secured Obligations.

5.11 Currency Matters. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from Borrowers hereunder unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise agreed to by Agent; provided, that

(a) each repayment of a Revolver Loan, LC Obligation or a part thereof shall be made in the currency in which such Revolver Loan or LC Obligation is denominated at the time of that repayment;

278

(b) each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the principal or other sum in respect of which such interest is denominated;

(c) (i) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(i) shall be in Dollars, (ii) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(a) shall be in Dollars or Australian Dollars, (iii) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b) or (d) shall be in Dollars or Euros, (iv) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(c) shall be in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, (v) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(e) shall be in Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, (vi) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(f) shall be in Dollars or Norwegian Kroner, (vii) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(g) shall be in Dollars or Singapore Dollars, and (viii) each payment of fees pursuant to Section 3.2.1(h) shall be in Dollars or Sterling, which payment currency in the case of clauses (ii) through (viii) above shall be at the option of the Applicable Foreign Borrowers of the relevant Borrower Group and, in the case of the Norwegian Borrowers, at the option of the European Loan Party Agent, with the amount of any such payment made in a currency other than Dollars determined by the Agent based on the Exchange Rate;

(d) each payment of fees pursuant to Sections 3.2.2 through 3.2.10 (other than Section 3.2.10(a) which shall be paid in Dollars) shall be in the currency of the underlying Letter of Credit; and

(e) each payment in respect of Extraordinary Expenses and any other costs, expenses and indemnities shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred by the party to whom payment is to be made.

No payment to any Credit Party or any Security Trustee (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Loan Party in respect of which it was made unless and until such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall have received Full Payment in the currency in which such obligation or liability is payable pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 5.11. Agent has the right, at the expense of the applicable Loan Party, to convert any payment made in an incorrect currency into the applicable currency required under this Agreement. To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of such obligation or liability actual or contingent expressed in that currency, such Loan Party (together with the other Loan Parties within its Loan Party Group or other obligors pursuant to any Guarantee of the Obligations of such Loan Party Group) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Credit Party or such Security Trustee, with respect to the amount of the shortfall with respect to amounts payable by such Loan Party hereunder, with such indemnity surviving the termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in the shortfall. To the extent that the amount of any such payment to a Credit Party or a Security Trustee shall, upon an actual conversion into such currency, exceed such obligation or liability, actual or contingent, expressed in that currency, such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall return such excess to the members of the affected Borrower Group.

279

North American Loan Party Agent shall, within 10 days of a Senior Officer becoming aware thereof, notify Agent in writing if any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Commercial Tort Claims reasonably expected to result in awarded damages (net of anticipated legal expenses relating thereto) of less than $5,000,000 in aggregate) and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to confer upon Agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) a duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such claim.

7.3.2 Certain After-Acquired Collateral. If any assets are acquired by any Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Documents that become subject to the perfected or valid Lien of the Security Documents upon acquisition thereof) that are of the nature secured by the Security Documents, the applicable Loan Party Agent will notify the Agent, and, if requested by the Agent, such Loan Party will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the applicable Secured Obligations and will take, and cause the other Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Agent to grant and perfect such Liens consistent with the applicable requirements of the Security Documents, including actions described in Section 7.6, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, a Loan Party Agent shall notify Agent in writing within 30 days if, after the Closing Date, any Loan Party (except, in the case of clauses (b) through (d), to the extent such assets are not of a type intended to be secured by the Security Documents of the relevant Loan Party Group) obtains any interest in any Property consisting of (a) Deposit Accounts other than Excluded Deposit Accounts, (b) Chattel Paper, (c) negotiable Documents, (d) promissory notes and other Instruments (other than checks) or (d) Investment Property consisting of any Securities Account and, upon Agent’s reasonable request,

If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Agent’s request, the applicable Loan Party having rights in such Collateral shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement in favor of the Agent and the applicable Security Trustee in each case to the extent the Cost of Inventory held by such third person exceeds the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 and (ii) five percent (5%) of the Borrower Group Commitments of the applicable Borrower Group.

7.4 Limitation on Permitted Discretion.

(a) The Agent shall have the right to establish, modify or eliminate Reserves against Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory from time to time in its Permitted Discretion. In addition, the Agent reserves the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to adjust any of the applicable criteria, to establish new criteria and to adjust advance rates with respect to Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory, in its Permitted Discretion, subject to Section 14.1.1.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies arising prior to the Closing Date and disclosed to the Agent prior to the Closing Date shall not be the basis for any establishment or modification of Reserves, eligibility criteria or advance rates unless (i) in the case of Reserves and eligibility criteria, such Reserves or eligibility criteria were established on the Closing Date or (ii) such circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies shall have changed in any material respect since the Closing Date.

(c) Any exercise of Permitted Discretion with respect to Reserves shall be based on a good faith reasonable determination of the Agent that (i) the circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies giving rise thereto will or reasonably could be expected to adversely affect a material portion of the value of the Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory in any Borrowing Base, the enforceability or priority of the Agent’s or a Security Trustee’s Liens thereon or the amount the Secured Parties would likely receive in the liquidation of any material portion of Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory in any Borrowing Base and (ii) the proposed action to be taken by the Agent to mitigate the effects described in clause (i) (including the amount of any Reserves) bears a reasonable relationship to the circumstance, condition, event or other contingency that is the basis therefor.

(d) Upon delivery of notice to a Loan Party Agent by the Agent of its intent to establish or increase Reserves, the Agent shall be available to discuss the proposed Reserves or increase, and Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the circumstance, condition, event or other contingency that is the basis for such Reserves or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Agent

287

to establish or change such Reserves, unless the Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the circumstance, condition, event or other contingency that is the basis for such new Reserves or such change no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by Borrowers.

7.5 No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Loan Parties relating to any Collateral.

7.6 Further Assurances. Each Loan Party will promptly execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements, title certificates, assignments and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents), which may be required under any Applicable Law, or which the Agent, any Security Trustee or the Required Borrower Group Lenders may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

7.7 Limitations. In no event shall the grant of any Lien under any Loan Document secure an Excluded Swap Obligation of the granting Loan Party.

SECTION 8.

COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

8.1 Administration of Accounts.

8.1.1 Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Loan Party shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to Agent sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent in accordance with Section 10.1.1(g). If the collectability of Accounts of all Borrowers in an aggregate face amount exceeding $10,000,000 is impaired, then a Loan Party Agent shall notify Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after any Loan Party has knowledge thereof.

8.1.2 Taxes. If an Account of any Loan Party includes a charge for any Taxes, Agent is authorized, in its discretion, if the applicable Loan Party has not paid such Taxes when due, to pay the amount thereof to the proper Governmental Authority for the account of such Loan Party and to charge the Loan Parties therefor; provided, that neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from the Loan Parties or with respect to any Collateral.

8.1.3 Account Verification. During a Default, Event of Default or Cash Dominion Event, Agent shall have the right, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any Loan Party, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of the Loan Parties by mail, telephone or otherwise. Loan Parties shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

8.1.4 Maintenance of Dominion Accounts. Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to Agent.

288

Borrowers shall obtain a Deposit Account Control Agreement from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Agent’s (or a Security Trustee’s) control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account and waiving offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges. Dominion Accounts for Belgian Borrowers and Dutch Borrowers must be maintained exclusively at Bank of America. Dominion Accounts for Australian Borrowers, New Zealand Borrowers, Singapore Borrowers, UK Borrowers and, subject to Section 10.1.16, Norwegian Borrowers must be maintained exclusively at Bank of America and shall be under the sole dominion and exclusive control of Agent (or its Security Trustee) whether or not a Cash Dominion Event exists; provided, that collected funds will be disbursed from such Dominion Accounts in the discretion of Agent. If a Dominion Account for Canadian Borrowers or U.S. Borrowers is not maintained with Bank of America, Agent may, during the existence of any Cash Dominion Event, require immediate transfer of all cash receipts in such account to a Dominion Account maintained with Bank of America. Agent, Security Trustees and Lenders assume no responsibility to Loan Parties for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank. With respect to Belgian Borrowers, Canadian Borrowers, Dutch Borrowers and U.S. Borrowers, Agent (or a Security Trustee) may exercise sole dominion and exclusive control over Dominion Accounts and other Deposit Accounts subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement during a Cash Dominion Event.

8.1.5 Proceeds of Collateral. Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take all necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account), subject to Section 10.1.16 with respect to Norwegian Borrowers. If any Borrower receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold same in trust for Agent and the Security Trustees and within one (1) Business Day deposit same into a Dominion Account. Foreign Borrowers may not participate in any cash pooling arrangements.

8.2 Administration of Inventory.

8.2.1 Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Loan Party shall keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and additions, and shall submit to Agent inventory and reconciliation reports (which reports shall set forth the Inventory information by location) in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent in accordance with Section 10.1.1(g).

8.2.2 Returns of Inventory. No Loan Party shall return any Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless (a) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) no Default, Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result therefrom; (c) Agent is promptly notified if the aggregate value of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds $35,000,000 in the aggregate for all Borrowers; and (d) any payment received by a Loan Party for a return is promptly remitted to Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5 or 5.6, as applicable.

8.2.3 Storage and Maintenance. Loan Parties shall use, store and maintain all Inventory with reasonable care and caution, in accordance with applicable standards of any

289

insurance and in conformity in all material respects with all Applicable Law, including the FLSA, if applicable, and shall make current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in leases) at all locations where any Collateral is located.

8.3 Administration of Deposit Accounts. Schedule 8.3 sets forth all Deposit Accounts maintained by Borrowers as of the date hereof, including all Dominion Accounts. Each Loan Party shall take all actions necessary to establish Agent’s (or its Security Trustee’s) control of each Deposit Account through a Deposit Account Control Agreement (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts), subject to Section 10.1.16 with respect to Norwegian Borrowers. For Deposit Accounts held in Norway, “control” means for the purpose of this Section 8.3 that a notice and acknowledgment is in place with the account bank and that the account holder may freely dispose over the amounts standing to the credit of the Deposit Account until instructions are received by the account bank from Agent under such notice and acknowledgment following which the account bank shall only act at the discretion of Agent. A Loan Party shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than Agent or a Security Trustee) to have control over a Deposit Account or any Property deposited therein. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a U.S. Domiciled Loan Party may establish a deposit account that does not contain proceeds of Loans, Inventory, Accounts or Specified Revolving Credit Collateral, which deposit account shall be (a) identified as such in writing to the Agent and (b) solely for the deposit of proceeds from the sale of Term Priority Lien Collateral pending final application thereof to the Term Loans (such account, the “Net Available Cash Account”). A Loan Party Agent shall promptly notify Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account and will amend Schedule 8.3 to reflect same.

8.4 General Provisions.

8.4.1 Location of Collateral. (a) All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept by Loan Parties at the Borrowers’ business locations set forth in Schedule 8.4.1 (with such updates thereto as Agent may agree to accept from time to time, including updates provided under the Existing Loan Agreement), except that Loan Parties may (i) make sales or other dispositions of Collateral in accordance with Section 10.2.4; (ii) in the case of any U.S. Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in the United States; (iii) in the case of any UK Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in the United Kingdom; (iv) in the case of a Canadian Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Canada set forth on Schedule 8.4.1 or, (1) upon 15 Business Days prior written notice to Agent, and (2) so long as all actions shall have been taken prior to such move to ensure that the Agent has a perfected first priority security interest in and Lien on such Collateral, any other location in Canada; (v) in the case of any Australian Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Australia; (vi) in the case of any Belgian Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Belgium; (vii) in the case of any Dutch Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in the Netherlands; (viii) in the case of any New Zealand Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in New Zealand; (ix) in the case of any Norwegian Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Norway; and (x) in the case of any Singapore Domiciled Loan Party, move Collateral to another location in Singapore.

290

(b) Each Loan Party shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering casualty, hazard, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks, in amounts, with endorsements and with insurers (having a Best’s Financial Strength Rating of at least A-VII, unless otherwise approved by Agent) as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent. From time to time upon request, Loan Parties shall deliver to Agent the originals or certified copies of their insurance policies. Unless Agent shall agree otherwise (giving due consideration to what is commercially available in the insurance market for the applicable jurisdiction), each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent (or its Security Trustee) as loss payee, as appropriate; (ii) requiring at least 10 days’ prior written notice to Agent (or such shorter period as agreed to by Agent) in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Loan Party or the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy. If any Loan Party fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge such Loan Party therefor. Each Loan Party agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly upon the request of Agent, copies of all reports made to insurance companies. While no Event of Default exists, Loan Parties may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered to Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

8.4.2 Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral of a Loan Party Group, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral of a Loan Party Group (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Agent or a Security Trustee to any Person to realize upon any Collateral of a Loan Party Group, shall be borne and paid by Loan Parties of such Loan Party Group. Neither Agent nor any Security Trustee shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Agent’s or such Security Trustee’s actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Loan Parties’ sole risk.

8.4.3 Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Loan Party shall at all times defend its title to Collateral and Agent’s or Security Trustees’ Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands whatsoever, except Permitted Liens.

8.5 Power of Attorney. Each of the Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties and U.S. Domiciled Loan Parties hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact), coupled with an interest, for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or a Loan Party’s name, but at the cost and expense of such Loan Parties within such Loan Party’s Loan Party Group:

9.1.11 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Compliance with ERISA. Each U.S. Employee Plan is in compliance with ERISA, the Code and any Applicable Law; no Reportable Event has occurred (or is reasonably likely to occur) with respect to any U.S. Employee Plan; no U.S. Employee Plan is insolvent or in reorganization (or is reasonably likely to be insolvent or in reorganization), and no written notice of any such insolvency or reorganization has been given to such Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate; no U.S. Employee Plan (other than a multiemployer plan) has an accumulated or waived funding deficiency (or is reasonably likely to have such a deficiency); none of such Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred (or is reasonably likely expected to incur) any liability to or on account of a U.S. Employee Plan pursuant to Section 409, 502(i), 502(l), 515, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4069, 4201 or 4204 of ERISA or Section 4971 or 4975 of the Code or has been notified in writing that it will incur any liability under any of the foregoing Sections with respect to any U.S. Employee Plan; no proceedings have been instituted (or are reasonably likely to be instituted) to terminate or to reorganize any U.S. Employee Plan or to appoint a trustee to administer any U.S. Employee Plan, and no written notice of any such proceedings has been given to such Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate; and no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of such Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate exists (or is reasonably likely to exist) nor has such Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate been notified in writing that such a lien will be imposed on the assets of such Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate on account of any U.S. Employee Plan, except to the extent that a breach of any of the representations, warranties or agreements in this Section 9.1.11 would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in an amount of liability that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. No U.S. Employee Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) has an Unfunded Current Liability that would, individually or when taken together with any other liabilities referenced in this

295

Section 9.1.11, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to U.S. Employee Plans that are Multiemployer Plans, the representations and warranties in this Section 9.1.11(a), other than any made with respect to (i) liability under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA or (ii) liability for termination or reorganization of such U.S. Employee Plans under ERISA, are made to the best knowledge of such Loan Party.

Except as could not reasonably be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to Material Adverse Effect (it being acknowledged that, for purposes of this Section 9.1.11(b), funding deficiencies, other benefit liabilities and events, conditions and circumstances that could give rise to liabilities, as such deficiencies, liabilities and circumstances exist as of the Closing Date, to the extent that they remain applicable at the relevant determination date, and any future obligations arising therefrom shall be included or considered in the determination of whether as of any date a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, exists or could reasonably be expected to occur):

(ii) Canadian Domiciled Loan Parties are in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the PBA and any binding FSCO requirements of general application with respect to each Canadian Pension Plan and in compliance with any FSCO directive or order directed specifically at a Canadian Pension Plan.

No Lien has arisen, choate or inchoate, in respect of any Canadian Domiciled Loan Party or their property in connection with any Canadian Pension Plan (save for contribution amounts not yet due).

(c) Foreign Plans. All Foreign Plans are in compliance with, and have been established, administered and operated in accordance with, the terms of such Foreign Plans and applicable law, except for any failure to so comply, establish, administer or operate the Foreign Plans as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions or other payments which are due with respect to each Foreign Plan have been made in full and there are no funding deficiencies thereunder, except to the extent any such events would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) no extension, compromise, settlement, modification, credit, deduction or return has been authorized with respect to the Account, except discounts or allowances granted in the Ordinary Course of Business for prompt payment that are reflected on the face of the invoice related thereto and in the reports submitted to Agent hereunder; and

Any such shortfall shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by such Credit Party or such Security Trustee and Loan Parties shall not be entitled to require any proof or evidence of any actual loss. If the amount of the first currency exceeds the amount originally due to a Credit Party or a Security Trustee in the first currency under this Agreement, such Credit Party or such Security Trustee shall promptly remit such excess to Loan Parties. The covenants contained in this Section 11.5 shall survive the Full Payment of the Obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 12.

AGENT AND SECURITY TRUSTEES

12.1 Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.

12.1.1 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each Secured Party appoints and designates Bank of America as the Agent under all Loan Documents. The Agent may, and each Secured Party authorizes the Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which the Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for the Agent’s benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Secured Party agrees that any action taken by the Agent, Required Borrower Group Lenders or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, together with the Security Trustees, as applicable, shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (i) act as the

334

disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (ii) execute and deliver as the Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement (or joinder thereto), and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party or other Person; (iii) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (iv) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (v) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of the Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto. The Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or to issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate the Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.

(b) For the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with Article 1541 of the Civil Code of Québec between each Secured Party, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, each Loan Party and each such Secured Party acknowledge and agree with the Agent that such Secured Party and the Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each such Loan Party in respect of all Obligations owed by each such Loan Party to the Agent and such Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”) and that, accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code of Québec, each such Loan Party is irrevocably bound towards the Agent and each Secured Party in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Agent and each Secured Party shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party and the right to give full acquittance for it. Accordingly, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, as solidary creditor with each Secured Party, shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action in respect of the Solidary Claim and the right to give a full acquittance for same. By its execution of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, each such Loan Party not a party hereto shall also be deemed to have accepted the stipulations hereinabove provided. The parties further agree and acknowledge that such Liens (hypothecs) under the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents shall be granted to the Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.

12.1.2 Duties. The Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. The conferral upon the Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

12.1.3 Agent Professionals. The Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. The Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

335

12.1.4 Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon the Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. The Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders, Required Borrower Group Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from the Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against all Claims that could be incurred by the Agent in connection with any act. The Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders or Required Borrower Group Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders or Required Borrower Group Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 14.1.1. In no event shall the Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

340

Parallel Debt Obligation without the consent of the Agent.

The European Secured Parties shall promptly enter into any agreements that the successor may reasonably require to effect its appointment.

12.2.16 Discharge of European Security Trustee. From the date that the appointment of the successor is effected under Section 12.2.14, the retiring European Security Trustee must be discharged from any further obligations under the Loan Documents as European Security Trustee, and the successor to the European Security Trustee and each of the other European Secured Parties have the same rights and obligations between themselves as they would have had if the successor had been a party to those Loan Documents.

12.3.5 Included as money. Money referred to in Section 12.3.4 includes money that is received by the AUS-NZ Security Trustee before enforcement proceedings are commenced under a Loan Document in relation to any Australian Facility Collateral but which has not been distributed by that time.

12.3.22 Exoneration. Neither the AUS-NZ Security Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates is responsible or liable to any person (a) because a Loan Party does not perform its obligations under the Credit Documents; (b) for the financial condition of the Loan Parties; (c) because any statement, representation or warranty in a Credit Document given by a party other than the AUS-NZ Security Trustee is incorrect or misleading; (d) for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, admissibility in evidence or sufficiency of the Credit Documents or any document signed or delivered in connection with the Credit Documents; (e) for the enforceability of the Credit Documents or any other document signed or delivered in connection with the Credit Documents against any person (other than the AUS-NZ Security Trustee); (f) for any loss or damage occurring as a result of it exercising, failing to exercise or purporting to exercise any right or power under this Agreement or other Loan Documents; (g) subject to this Agreement: (i) for the default, negligence or fault of any directors, officers, employees, agents, delegates, attorneys or Affiliates of the AUS-NZ Security Trustee; (ii) for any mistake or omission made by it or any directors, officers, employees, agents, delegates, attorneys or Affiliates of the AUS-NZ Security Trustee; (iii) for any other matter or thing done, or not done, in relation to the Credit Documents; (h) for any absence of, or defect in

345

title or for its inability to exercise any of its powers under the Loan Documents; (i) for any failure by a Loan Party to perform its obligations under any Credit Document; (j) for acting in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; or (k) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Credit Document or any certificate or document given under any of them, except to the extent that the act or omission amounts to fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the AUS-NZ Security Trustee or any directors, officers, employees, agents, delegates, attorneys or Affiliates of the AUS-NZ Security Trustee or a gross or wilful breach by it of its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting this Section 12.3.22, the AUS-NZ Security Trustee is not responsible or liable to any Person for anything done or not done in connection with this Agreement by the AUS-NZ Security Trustee or its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates except to the extent that the act or omission amounts to fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the AUS-NZ Security Trustee or a gross or wilful breach by it of its obligations under this Agreement.

12.3.23 No Reliance on AUS-NZ Security Trustee. Each Australian Facility Secured Party confirms that it has itself been, is at all times and continues to be, solely responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the business, operations, financial condition, creditworthiness, status and affairs of the Loan Parties and has not relied, and will not at any time rely, on the AUS-NZ Security Trustee (a) to provide it with any information relating to the business, operations, financial condition, creditworthiness, status or affairs of the Loan Parties, or the condition, whether coming into its possession before or after providing financial accommodation or facilities to any of the Loan Parties; or (b) to check or enquire into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Loan Parties or any other Person under or in connection with the Loan Documents (whether or not the information has been or is at any time circulated to it by the AUS-NZ Security Trustee).

12.3.24 Appointment and Retirement of AUS-NZ Security Trustee. The AUS-NZ Security Trustee (a) subject to the appointment of a successor (in consultation with the Asian Loan Party Agent) may, and must if the Agent requires, retire at any time from its position as AUS-NZ Security Trustee under the Loan Documents without assigning any reason, and (b) must give notice of its intention to retire by giving to the other Australian Facility Secured Parties and the Asian Loan Party Agent not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice.

12.3.25 Appointment of Successor. The Agent may, with the approval of the Asian Loan Party Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) other than during the continuation of an Event of Default, appoint a successor to the AUS-NZ Security Trustee, during the period of notice in Section 12.3.24. If no successor is appointed by the Agent, the AUS-NZ Security Trustee (after consulting with Agent and the Asian Loan Party Agent) may appoint its successor. The Australian Facility Secured Parties shall promptly enter into any agreements that the successor may reasonably require to effect its appointment.

12.3.26 Discharge of AUS-NZ Security Trustee. From the date that the appointment of the successor is effected under Section 12.3.25, the retiring AUS-NZ Security Trustee must be discharged from any further obligations under the Loan Documents as AUS-NZ Security Trustee, and the successor to the AUS-NZ Security Trustee and each of the other Australian Facility Secured Parties have the same rights and obligations between themselves as they would have had if the successor had been a party to those Loan Documents.

346

12.3.27 Australian Facility Secured Parties to Indemnify AUS-NZ Security Trustee. To the extent that the Loan Parties do not do so on demand or are not obliged to do so, each Australian Facility Secured Party must on demand indemnify the AUS-NZ Security Trustee against any Claims sustained or incurred by the AUS-NZ Security Trustee in (a) complying with any instructions from the Agent or the Australian Facility Secured Parties; (b) otherwise sustained or incurred by it in connection with the Loan Documents or its duties, obligations and responsibilities under the Loan Documents; or (c) as a result of appointing a receiver or manager under any of the Australian Facility Collateral, except to the extent that the Claim is sustained or incurred as a result of the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the AUS-NZ Security Trustee or any of its representatives. When there are no Australian Facility Secured Obligations (including, anything that is reasonably foreseeable as falling within the definition of Australian Facility Secured Obligations) in relation to an Australian Facility Secured Party and the relevant Australian Facility Secured Party is not committed or obliged to make advances or provide any other financial accommodation to the Australian Domiciled Loan Parties, the relevant Australian Facility Secured Party ceases to be an Australian Facility Secured Party on notice in writing to that effect from the Agent and the AUS-NZ Security Trustee.

12.3.28 Australian Facility Secured Party Notice to Cease. An Australian Facility Secured Party may, by notice to that effect to the AUS-NZ Security Trustee, cease to be an Australian Facility Secured Party.

12.3.29 Waiver and Exercise of Rights: The AUS-NZ Security Trustee’s failure or delay to exercise a power or right does not operate as a waiver of that power or right and the exercise of a power or right does not preclude either its exercise in the future or the exercise of any other power or right. A waiver is not effective unless it is in writing and waiver of a power or right is effective only in respect of the specific instance to which it relates and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

The Agent shall promptly forward to each Applicable Lender, when complete, copies of any field audit, examination or appraisal report prepared by or for the Agent with respect to any Loan Party or Collateral (“Report”). Each Lender agrees (a) that neither Bank of America nor the Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that the Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon the applicable Loan Parties’ books and records as well as upon representations of the applicable Loan Parties’ officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations.

12.5 Reliance By Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent Professionals. The Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any instruction, notice or other communication under any Loan Document, and shall not be liable for any delay in acting.

12.7 Ratable Sharing.

351

Banks) and the other Applicable Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5.1, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the amount thereof to the Agent for application under Section 4.2 and it shall provide a written statement to the Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction. No Lender shall setoff against any Dominion Account without the prior consent of the Agent.

12.8 Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY LOAN PARTIES (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF LOAN PARTIES UNDER ANY CREDIT DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH AGENT INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THE ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR THE AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF THE AGENT). In no event shall any Lender have any obligation hereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Agent Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee. In the Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to the Secured Parties. If the Agent is sued by any Creditor Representative, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by the Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata share.

12.9 Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent.

The Agent does not make any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee to the Secured Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Credit Documents or Loan Party. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Credit Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Credit Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Loan Party of any terms of the Credit Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Credit Documents.

352

12.10 Successor Agent and Co-Agents.

12.10.1 Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and the Loan Party Agents. Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (a) a U.S. Lender or an Affiliate of a U.S. Lender; or (b) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof, has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and (provided no Event of Default exists) is reasonably acceptable to the Loan Party Agents. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as the Agent hereunder, or upon appointment of Required Lenders as successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.8 and 14.2. Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while the Agent. Any successor to Bank of America by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be the Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

12.10.2 Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If the Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Credit Documents due to any Applicable Law, the Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If the Agent so appoints a security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to the Agent under the Credit Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. The Secured Parties shall execute and deliver such documents as the Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any security trustee, collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Agent until appointment of a new agent.

12.11 Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it deems necessary concerning the Credit Documents, the Collateral and each Loan Party. Each Secured Party further acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties and the Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning any Loan Party, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Credit Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party or the Agent, and

353

based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Credit Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to the Agent by any Loan Party or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Loan Party (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of the Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates.

12.12 Remittance of Payments and Collections.

12.12.1 Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to the Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by the Agent and request for payment is made by the Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time), then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the next Business Day. Payment by the Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by the Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to the Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

12.12.2 Failure to Pay. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to the Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by the Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Loan Parties be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to the Agent, nor shall any Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on any amounts held by Agent pursuant to Section 4.2.

12.12.3 Recovery of Payments. If the Agent pays any amount to a Secured Party in the expectation that a related payment will be received by the Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from each Secured Party that received it. If the Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, the Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by the Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by the Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to the Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.13 Agent in its Individual Capacity. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Credit Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders”, “Required Borrower Group Lenders” or any similar term shall include Bank of America and its Affiliates in their capacities as Lenders. Each of Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, as if Bank of America was not Agent hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. In their individual capacities, Bank of America and its Affiliates

354

may receive information regarding the Loan Parties, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Secured Party agrees that Bank of America and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party, if acquired in such individual capacity.

12.14 Agent Titles. Each Lender, other than Bank of America, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Bank of America as an “Agent” or “Arranger” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

12.15 Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider that is not a Lender, by delivery of a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the applicable Loan Party Agent, or as otherwise agreed by Agent and such Loan Party Agent, shall agree to be bound by Section 5.5 and this Section 12. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations (except those Claims determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee).

12.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is an agreement solely among the Secured Parties and the Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. This Section 12 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Loan Parties or any other Person. As between Loan Parties and the Agent, any action that the Agent may take under any Credit Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by the Secured Parties.

SECTION 13.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

13.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, the Agent, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; provided, that the rights and obligations of a Loan Party Agent may be assigned in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.4; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and Fronting Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans, Letters of Credit and other obligations owing to, each Lender or Fronting Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error (provided, that a failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such

355

Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations), and the Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders and the Fronting Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit and other obligations recorded in the Register as owing to such Person, for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender or Fronting Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

13.2 Participations.

13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Borrower Group Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Loan Parties within the applicable Loan Party Group shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Loan Parties within the applicable Loan Party Group and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and the Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.8 unless Loan Party Agent agrees otherwise in writing. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the applicable Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Letters of Credit or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents; provided, that a Lender may agree with its Participant that such Lender will not, without the consent of such Participant, consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification which (a) forgives principal, interest or fees, (b) reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Borrower Group Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, (c) postpones the Revolver Commitment Termination Date or the Swingline Commitment Termination Date in respect of a Borrower Group in which such Participant has an interest, or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or (d) releases any Loan Party, Guarantor or substantial portion of the Collateral.

356

13.2.3 Benefit of Set-Off. Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.7 as if such Participant were a Lender.

13.3 Assignments.

13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Subject to Section 13.3.3 below, a Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent) and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) counterparties to swap agreements relating to any Loans; provided, that (1) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and owner of its interest in any Letter of Credit for all purposes hereunder, (2) Borrowers, the Agent, the other Lenders and Fronting Bank shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (3) any payment by Loan Parties to the assigning Lender in respect of any Obligations assigned as described in this sentence shall satisfy Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder to the extent of such payment, and (4) no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

13.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to the Agent of an assignment notice in the form of Exhibit A-2 and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3.2. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, the Agent and Loan Parties shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new Notes, as applicable. The transferee Lender shall comply with Sections 5.8 and 5.9 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Agent.

13.3.3 Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to any Borrower, Affiliate of any Borrower, Defaulting Lender or natural person. In connection with

357

any assignment by a Defaulting Lender, such assignment shall be effective only upon payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to the Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other compensating actions as the Agent deems appropriate), (a) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities then owing by the Defaulting Lender hereunder, and (b) to acquire its Pro Rata share of all Loans and LC Obligations. If an assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall become effective under Applicable Law for any reason without compliance with the foregoing sentence, then the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until such compliance occurs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.3.3, in order to comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), the amount transferred in respect of a Dutch Borrower shall only be permitted if the assignee Dutch Lender is a Non-Public Lender.

13.3.4 Replacement of Certain Lenders. If (x) a Lender (a) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7 or 3.8, or (y) if any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments with respect to a Lender under Section 5.8, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Agent or a Loan Party Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptances, within 20 days after the notice. The Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents at par, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).

(h) each Lender authorizes Agent to enter into a restatement of the Intercreditor Agreement following the Closing Date in the form of Exhibit K with such immaterial changes thereto as the Agent may agree.

14.1.2 Foreign Cross-Guarantee. Following the date on which a Foreign Borrower’s Obligations have been guaranteed by other Foreign Borrowers pursuant to an effective Foreign Cross-Guarantee and a request for such amendment by the North American Loan Party Agent, Agent will give favorable consideration on a case by case basis, taking into account financial assistance rules and other legal considerations, to recommending an amendment permitting such Foreign Borrower’s utilization of Availability from the other Foreign Borrowers that have guaranteed such Obligations in order to borrow amounts in excess of its individual Borrowing Base (but not to exceed the applicable Foreign Revolver Commitment amount for such Foreign Borrower’s jurisdiction) which utilization will reduce availability to such other Foreign Borrowers on a dollar for dollar basis.

14.1.3 Limitations. The agreement of Loan Parties shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, the Agent, the Security Trustees and/or any Fronting Bank as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement. Neither any Non-Lender Fronting Bank nor any non-Lender that is a party to a Bank Product agreement shall have any right to participate in any manner in modification of any Loan Document. The making of any Loans during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default, nor to establish a course of dealing. Any waiver or consent granted by the Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.

14.1.4 Payment for Consents. After the Closing Date, no Loan Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

14.2 Indemnity. IN ADDITION TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5.8 OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE

363

INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY LOAN PARTY OR OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, and no Loan Party shall have any obligation to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee for disputes solely among Indemnitees and not relating to any act or omission of any Loan Party or its Affiliates (other than any action involving the Agent, any Security Trustee, any Fronting Bank or any Swingline Lender, in each case in its capacity as such, in which case this indemnity shall apply with respect to each such Person, as applicable, to the extent otherwise available). The indemnity under this Section 14.2 shall not apply to any Taxes, other than Taxes arising with respect to a non-Tax Claim.

14.3 Notices and Communications.

14.3.1 Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.4, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Loan Party, at the applicable Loan Party Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the local mail system of the recipient, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery (including overnight and courier service), when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Sections 2.1.3, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 3.1.1, 3.1.2 or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by North American Loan Party Agent shall be deemed received by all Loan Parties.

14.3.2 Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Electronic mail and internet websites may be used only for routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by Section 10.1.1, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents for execution, and matters permitted under Section 4.1.3. The Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Electronic mail and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

14.3.3 Non-Conforming Communications. The Agent and Lenders may rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Loan Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party.

364

14.4 Performance of Loan Parties’ Obligations. The Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at the expense of the Loan Parties of the applicable Loan Party Group, pay any amount or do any act required of a Loan Party under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by the Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Agent’s or any Security Trustee’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of the Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be reimbursed to the Agent by Loan Parties, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to U.S. Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

14.5 Credit Inquiries. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Agent and Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Loan Party or Subsidiary.

14.6 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

14.7 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

14.8 Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when the Agent has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement.

14.9 Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

365

14.10 Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for the Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of the Agent, Lenders or any other Secured Party pursuant to the Credit Documents shall be deemed to constitute the Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Loan Party.

14.11 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Credit Document, Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Loan Parties and such Person; (ii) Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Loan Parties are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents; (b) each of the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Loan Parties, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Loan Parties and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Loan Parties or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

14.12 Confidentiality.

14.12.1 General Provisions. Each of the Agent, Lenders and each Fronting Bank shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as this Section 14.12, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of a Loan Party Agent; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 14.12 or (ii) is available to the Agent, any Lender, Fronting Bank or any of their Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Loan Parties or (i) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating any Borrower or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the

366

foregoing, the Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Loan Parties and a general description of Loan Parties’ businesses, and may use Loan Parties’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section 14.12 shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information. Each of the Agent, Lenders and each Fronting Bank acknowledges that (A) Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or Subsidiary; (B) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; (C) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including federal, state, provincial and territorial securities laws; and (D) nothing herein, for purposes of the Singapore Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute an agreement by them, with such Singapore Loan Parties, to prescribe a higher degree of confidentiality than that contained in the Singapore Banking Act Chapter 19.

14.12.2 PPSA Australia. Nothing requires a Secured Party to disclose any information of the kind referred to in section 275(1) of the PPSA Australia or under section 275(4) of the PPSA Australia unless section 275(7) of the PPSA Australia applies. The Loan Parties agree not to exercise their rights to make any request of a Secured Party under section 275 of the PPSA Australia, or to authorize the disclosure of any information under that section or otherwise waive any duty of confidence that would otherwise permit non-disclosure under that section, unless the Agent approves.

14.13 Certifications Regarding Term Loan Credit Agreement. Borrowers certify to the Agent and Lenders that neither the execution or performance of the Loan Documents nor the incurrence of any Obligations by Borrowers violates the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Borrowers further certify that the Commitments and Obligations constitute permitted indebtedness under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Agent may condition Borrowings, Letters of Credit and other credit accommodations under the Loan Documents from time to time upon Agent’s receipt of evidence that the Commitments and Obligations continue to constitute permitted indebtedness at such time.

14.14 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW AND FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

14.15 Consent to Forum; Process Agent.

14.15.1 Forum. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND EACH LOAN PARTY AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT

367

SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.3.1. Nothing herein shall limit the right of the Agent, any Security Trustee or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by the Agent or any Security Trustee of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction. Final judgment against a Loan Party in any action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, including the country in which such Loan Party is domiciled, by suit on the judgment.

14.15.2 Process Agent. Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any relevant law, each Foreign Borrower and each other Loan Party organized outside the U.S. (a) irrevocably appoints CT Corporation located at 111 Eighth Avenue,13th Floor, New York, New York 10011, as its agent for service of process in relation to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, and (b) agrees that failure by a process agent to notify such Borrower or such Loan Party of any process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

14.16 Waivers by Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which the Agent, each Security Trustee and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by the Agent on which a Loan Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything the Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing the Agent or a Security Trustee to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to the Agent, each Security Trustee, each Fronting Bank and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that the Agent, Security Trustees, each Fronting Bank and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Loan Parties. Each Loan Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

368

14.17 Exclusion of PPSA Australia Provisions. To the extent the law permits:

(a)

for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA Australia:

(i)

a Secured Party need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4); and

(ii)

sections 142 and 143 are excluded;

(b)

for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA Australia, a Secured Party need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3); and

if the PPSA Australia is amended after the date of this document to permit a Loan Party and a Secured Party to agree to exclude other provisions of the PPSA Australia, a Secured Party may notify a Loan Party that the Secured Party need not comply with any of those provisions as notified to the Loan Party by the Secured Party.

14.18 Waiver of Rights (PPSA New Zealand). The Loan Parties:

(a) have no rights under, or by reference to, sections 114(1)(a), 133 and 134 of the PPSA New Zealand;

(b) waive their rights to:

(iii) apply to the court for an order concerning the removal of an accession under section 131 of the PPSA New Zealand;

(c) waive their rights under section 148 of the PPSA New Zealand to receive a copy of a verification statement in respect of any financing statement or financing change statement registered by a Secured Party in respect of any personal property.

14.19 Patriot Act Notice. The Agent and Lenders hereby notify Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, economic or trade sanctions and “know your

369

client” policies, regulations, laws or rules (the Proceeds of Crime Act and such other applicable policies, regulations, laws or rules, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies each Loan Party, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other similar information that will allow the Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act and the AML Legislation. The Agent and Lenders may require information regarding Loan Parties’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of a Lender, in order to comply with the Patriot Act and/or the AML Legislation.

14.20 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Canadian Facility Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Canadian Facility Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Agent:

(a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Canadian Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Canadian Lender and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(b) shall provide to each Canadian Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Canadian Lenders agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Canadian Facility Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Canadian Facility Loan Parties on behalf of any Canadian Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Canadian Facility Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

14.21 Know Your Customer. At the request of the Agent, the Borrowers shall promptly supply or procure the supply of documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Agent (on its behalf or for any Credit Party or prospective Credit Party) in order for a Credit Party to comply with all necessary AML Legislation in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.

14.22 Australian Anti-Money Laundering Provisions. The Australian Borrowers agree that the Agent may delay, block or refuse to process any request for a Borrowing or Australian Letter of Credit without incurring any liability if any Australian Lender reasonably suspects that:

(a) the transaction may breach any AML Legislation;

(b) the transaction involves any Person (natural, corporate or governmental) that is sanctioned under economic and trade sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union or Australia; or

(c) the transaction may directly or indirectly involve the proceeds of, or be applied for the purposes of, conduct which is unlawful in Australia.

370

The Australian Borrowers must provide all information to the Agent which any Australian Lender reasonably requires in order to manage its money-laundering, terrorism-financing or economic and trade sanctions risk or to comply with any laws or regulations in Australia. The Australian Borrowers agree that the Agent may disclose any information concerning the Australian Borrowers to:

(i) any law enforcement, regulatory agency or court where required by any such law or regulations in Australia; and

(ii) any correspondent entity an Australian Lender uses to make the payment for the purpose of compliance with any such law or regulation.

Unless an Australian Borrower has disclosed that it is acting in a trustee capacity or on behalf of another party, the Australian Borrower warrants that it is acting on its own behalf in entering into this document.

Each Australian Borrower declares and undertakes to the Agent that the processing of any request for a Borrowing or Australian Letter of Credit by the Agent in accordance with an Australian Borrower’s instructions will not breach any laws or regulations in Australia.

14.23 Belgian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. Each of the Belgian Lenders agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Belgian Facility Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Belgian Facility Loan Parties on behalf of any Belgian Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Belgian Facility Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

14.24 “Know your customer” Checks. Each Lender shall promptly upon the request of the Agent supply, or procure the supply of, such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Agent (for itself) in order for the Agent to comply with all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all AML Legislation in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents.

14.25 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, should any Loan Party become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Loan Party’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

371

14.26 Nonliability of Lenders. Neither the Agent, any Fronting Bank nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform any Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party’s business or operations. Each Loan Party agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that neither the Agent, any Fronting Bank nor any Lender shall have liability to any Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the party from which recovery is sought. NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE BY OTHERS OF ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER MATERIALS OBTAINED THROUGH SYNDTRACK OR OTHER SIMILAR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

14.27 Release of Retiring Borrowers. Each of the Agent, the AUS-NZ Security Trustee, the European Security Trustee and each applicable Super Majority Borrower Group Lenders having commitments to the Dutch Borrowers, Australian Borrowers and UK Borrowers, as applicable, hereby (a) release each Retiring Borrower from all of its obligations (including the Foreign Cross Guarantee) under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) except for obligations and provisions that expressly survive termination pursuant to their terms, (b) release its security interests created under the Security Documents (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) in the Collateral (as defined in the Existing Loan Agreement) of such Retiring Borrower, and (c) agree to execute any relevant deed or other release documentation to effect the foregoing.

14.28 Ratification of Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby ratifies and affirms its obligations under the Loan Documents (as amended, restated or otherwise modified on the Closing Date), each of which (as amended, restated or otherwise modified on the Closing Date) shall continue in full force and effect.

(5) vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable;

(6) exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to any of the Revolving Credit Collateral after the termination of the Collateral Trustee Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(1); and

(7) make a cash bid on all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Collateral in any foreclosure proceeding or action.

The Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will not take or receive any Revolving Credit Collateral or any proceeds of such Revolving Credit Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any such Revolving Credit Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a)(1), 6.3(b)(1) and this Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the Revolving Credit Collateral is to hold a Lien (if any) on such Collateral pursuant to the respective Term Priority Lien Documents or Subordinated Lien Documents, as applicable, for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred.

(d) Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and (c) and Section 6.3(b)(1):

(1) The Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the Revolving Credit Loan Documents or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Revolving Credit Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

(2) The Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, as applicable, may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the Revolving Credit Obligations or the Liens securing the Revolving Credit Obligations granted in any of the Revolving Credit Loan Documents or undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or Revolving Credit Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or Subordinated Lien Claimholders;

(3) the Collateral Trustee hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Term Priority Lien Document or Subordinated Lien Document (in each case, other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders with respect to the enforcement of the Liens on the Revolving Credit Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Loan Documents.

(e) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d) and 3.4, the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable, and the Collateral Trustee may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Term Priority Lien Collateral and Subordinated Lien Collateral, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Term Priority Lien Documents and Subordinated Lien Documents, as applicable, and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that the Collateral Trustee, any Term Priority Lien Claimholder or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Revolving Credit Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Revolving Credit Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Term Priority Lien Obligations and Subordinated Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of its Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable, so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of the Revolving Credit Collateral (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the Revolving Credit Loan Documents.

3.2 Exercise of Remedies – Collateral Access Rights.

(a) The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee agree not to commence Enforcement until the earlier of the date on which (A) an Enforcement Notice has been given to the Collateral Trustee or the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, as the case may be or (B) any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is commenced by or against any Grantor that has not been dismissed. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1, the Collateral Trustee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, join in any judicial proceedings commenced by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent to enforce Liens on the Collateral, provided that neither the Collateral Trustee, nor the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall interfere with the Enforcement actions of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Collateral.

(b) If the Collateral Trustee or any of its agents or representatives, or any third party pursuant to any Enforcement undertaken by the Collateral Trustee or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Primary Real Estate Assets or any of the Other Real Estate, the Collateral Trustee shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent of that fact and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, notify Collateral Trustee or, if applicable, any such third party (at such address

to be provided by the Collateral Trustee in connection with the applicable Enforcement), as to whether the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement, at which time the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent’s exercise of such access rights. Access rights may apply to differing parcels of Other Real Estate at differing times (i.e. a Revolving Credit Collateral Agent may obtain possession of one leased location at a different time than it obtains possession of other properties), in which case, a differing Access Period may apply to each such property.

(c) Upon delivery of notice to the Collateral Trustee as provided in Section 3.2(b), the Access Period shall commence for all of the Primary Real Estate Assets or the subject parcel of Other Real Estate, as applicable. During the Access Period and for any period prior to an Access Period when the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent may have had access and/or use of any Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral (e.g. pursuant to access granted by a landlord of any Real Estate Asset), the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees shall have a non-exclusive right to have such access to, and a rent free right to use, the Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, as applicable, for the purpose of arranging for and effecting the sale or disposition of Revolving Credit Collateral, including the production, completion, packaging, shipping and other preparation of such Revolving Credit Collateral for sale or disposition. During any such Access Period (or period prior to an Access Period), the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and its representatives (and persons employed on their behalf), may continue to operate, service, maintain, process and sell the Revolving Credit Collateral, as well as to engage in bulk sales or other liquidations of Revolving Credit Collateral. Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall take proper care of any Term Priority Lien Collateral and any Subordinated Lien Collateral that is used by it during the Access Period and repair and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by them or their agents, representatives or designees and comply with all applicable laws in connection with its use or occupancy of the Term Priority Lien Collateral and Subordinated Lien Collateral. The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Trustee, the relevant Term Priority Lien Claimholders or the relevant Subordinated Lien Claimholders for any injury or damage to Persons or property caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under its control. Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of the Collateral Trustee to commence foreclosure of the Term Priority Lien Mortgages or Subordinated Lien Mortgages, as applicable, or to show the Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, as applicable, to prospective purchasers and to ready the Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, as applicable, for sale.

(d) If the Collateral Trustee shall foreclose or otherwise sell any of the Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, as applicable, such Person will notify the buyer thereof of the existence of this Agreement and that the buyer is acquiring such Collateral subject to the terms of this Agreement.

3.3 Exercise of Remedies–Intellectual Property Rights/Access to Information/Use of Equipment.

(a) The Collateral Trustee hereby grants (to the full extent of its rights and interests) the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees a royalty free, rent free license and lease to use all of the Term Priority Lien Collateral and Subordinated Lien Collateral exclusive of Intellectual Property but including any computer or other data processing Equipment to conduct distribution activities on the Real Estate Assets during any Enforcement Period, to collect all Accounts or amounts owing under Instruments or Chattel Paper constituting Revolving Credit Collateral, to copy, use or preserve any and all information relating to any of the Collateral, and to complete the manufacture, packaging and sale of Inventory; provided, however, the royalty free, rent free license and lease granted in this clause (a) with respect to Equipment shall immediately expire upon the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of such Equipment.

(b) The Collateral Trustee hereby grants (to the full extent of its rights and interests) the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees solely during the Enforcement Period (A) a nonexclusive, royalty free, worldwide license or sublicense (subject to the terms of the underlying license) to use all of the Term Priority Lien Collateral and Subordinated Lien Collateral constituting Intellectual Property solely to the extent necessary to collect all Accounts or amounts owing under Instruments or Chattel Paper constituting Revolving Credit Collateral and to complete the manufacture, packaging and sale of Inventory and (B) a nonexclusive, royalty free, worldwide license or sublicense (subject to the terms of the underlying license) (which will be binding on any successor or assignee of the Intellectual Property) to use any and all Intellectual Property in connection with its Enforcement; provided, however, that on and after the 30^th day following the termination of the Access Period with respect to the Primary Real Estate Assets, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, during the term of the above licenses, shall use any Trademarks of such licensed Intellectual Property solely in connection with (x) goods or services which the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent in good faith reasonably believes to be in all material respects of at least the same level of quality offered by, and in a manner in which the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent in good faith reasonably believes to be in all material respects consistent with the practices of, one or more Grantors as of the date of the Enforcement Notice or (y) the disposition of damaged, obsolete or second-quality goods which dispositions the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent in good faith reasonably believes will not materially diminish the distinctiveness and quality characteristics associated with such Intellectual Property or the validity thereof (it being understood and agreed that the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees shall comply in all material respects with all laws pertaining to its use of Intellectual Property described hereunder, including notice requirements).

3.4 Exercise of Remedies – Set Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. The Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent any such Person exercises its rights of setoff against any Grantor’s Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts or other assets, the amount of such setoff shall be deemed to be the Revolving Credit Collateral to be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.2; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not

apply to any setoff by any such Person against any Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral (including funds in any Net Available Cash Account) to the extent applied to payment of Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable. The Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice all funds deposited under Account Agreements and then applied to the Revolving Credit Obligations shall be treated as Revolving Credit Collateral and, unless the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary, any claim that payments made to Revolving Credit Collateral Agent through the Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts that are subject to Account Agreements are proceeds of or otherwise constitute Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, are waived. The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, each agrees that, prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, any proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited under Account Agreements, which are used by any Grantor to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (as among the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, the Collateral Trustee and the various Claimholders) be treated as proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired. The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, each agrees that after an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, each such Person shall cooperate in good faith to identify the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Collateral, the Term Priority Lien Collateral and the Subordinated Lien Collateral, as the case may be (it being agreed that after an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, unless the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary, all funds deposited under Account Agreements and then applied to the Revolving Credit Obligations shall be presumed to be Revolving Credit Collateral (a presumption that can be rebutted by the Collateral Trustee)); provided, however, that neither any Revolving Credit Claimholder nor any Term Priority Lien Claimholder or Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall be liable or in any way responsible for any claims or damages from conversion of the Revolving Credit Collateral, Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, as the case may be (it being understood and agreed that (a) the only obligation of any Revolving Credit Claimholder is to pay over to the Collateral Trustee, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, all proceeds that such Revolving Credit Claimholder received that have been identified as proceeds of the Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, as applicable, and (b) the only obligation of any Term Priority Lien Claimholder or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder is to pay over to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, all proceeds that such Term Priority Lien Claimholder or Subordinated Lien Claimholder, as applicable, received that have been identified as proceeds of the Revolving Credit Collateral). Each of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee may request from the other an accounting of the identification of the proceeds of Collateral (and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee, as the case may, upon which such request is made shall deliver such accounting reasonably promptly after such request is made).

3.5 Allocation of Proceeds for Mixed Collateral. In the event that Revolving Credit Collateral and Term Priority Lien Collateral are disposed of in a single transaction or series of related transactions in which the aggregate sales price is not allocated between the Revolving Credit Collateral, on the one hand, and the Term Priority Lien Collateral, on the other hand,

being sold, including in connection with or as a result of the sale of the Stock of any Grantor or a Subsidiary thereof that owns assets constituting Revolving Credit Collateral or Term Priority Lien Collateral, then, solely for purposes of this Agreement and unless otherwise agreed, the portion of the aggregate sales price deemed to be proceeds of the Revolving Credit Collateral, on the one hand, and the Term Priority Lien Collateral, on the other hand, shall be allocated as follows: (a) first, to the Revolving Credit Collateral in an amount equal to the face amount of all Accounts and the net book value of all Inventory sold; and (b) second, to the Revolving Credit Collateral or the Term Priority Lien Collateral in accordance with the respective fair market value of the other Collateral sold.

3.6 Exercise of Remedies – Applicable Landlord Agreements. In respect of each consent/waiver/access agreement, if any, among the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and Collateral Trustee (collectively, the “Collateral Agents” and individually, a “Collateral Agent”), on the one hand, and a landlord leasing real estate to a Grantor or a bailee storing personal property for a Grantor (a “Landlord”), on the other hand, which provides that each Collateral Agent has the right to inspect or remove the personal property of the applicable Grantor from the premises (such consent/waiver/access agreement being an “Applicable Landlord Agreement”):

(a) if either Collateral Agent exercises its rights under such Applicable Landlord Agreement, such Collateral Agent hereby agrees to reimburse the other Collateral Agent upon demand for any repair by such other Collateral Agent of any damage arising from the removal of the personal property by or on behalf of such Collateral Agent; and

(b) the Collateral Trustee hereby expressly agrees, for the benefit of such Landlord and those claiming through such Landlord, that (i) such Landlord may exclusively deal with the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent until the date (the “Junior Lien Effective Date”) of a delivery of a certificate to such Landlord pursuant to the terms of such Applicable Landlord Agreement certifying to the effect that the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred and (ii) the Collateral Trustee has no right to object to any discussions, correspondence or agreements between such Landlord and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or any amendments or modifications to such Applicable Landlord Agreement prior to the Junior Lien Effective Date; it being understood and agreed, as between the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee, that the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall not agree without Collateral Trustee’s advance written consent to any amendment or modifications to such Applicable Landlord Agreement the reasonably likely effect of which is to impair Collateral Trustee’s rights as an invitee under such Applicable Landlord Agreement or impact the Collateral Trustee in any material respect differently than it would impact the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent under such Applicable Landlord Agreement prior to the Junior Lien Effective Date.

IV.

The Collateral Trustee and Revolving Credit Collateral Agent are each hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the other Person. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until each of the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, the Discharge of Term Priority Lien Obligations and the Discharge of Subordinated Lien Obligations have occurred.

5.2 Insurance.

(a) Unless and until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, (i) the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Revolving Credit Collateral or the Liens with respect thereto in the event of any loss thereunder or with respect thereto and to approve any award granted in any

condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting such Collateral; (ii) all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect to such Revolving Credit Collateral and to the extent required by the Revolving Credit Loan Documents shall be paid to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, to the extent no Revolving Credit Obligations are outstanding, and subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the Term Priority Lien Documents or Subordinated Lien Documents, as applicable, to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or Subordinated Lien Claimholders, as applicable, to the extent required under the Term Priority Lien Documents or Subordinated Lien Documents, as applicable, and then, to the extent no Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations which were secured by such Collateral are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and (iii) if the Collateral Trustee, any Term Priority Lien Claimholder or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

(b) To effectuate the foregoing, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and Collateral Trustee shall each receive separate lender’s loss payable endorsements naming themselves as loss payee and additional insured, as their interests may appear, with respect to policies which insure Collateral hereunder. To the extent any proceeds are received for business interruption or for any liability or indemnification and those proceeds are not compensation for a casualty loss with respect to the Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, such proceeds shall (subject to the rights of the Grantors) first be applied to repay the Revolving Credit Obligations and then be applied, to the extent required by the Term Priority Lien Documents or the Subordinated Lien Documents, to the Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable.

5.3 Amendments to Revolving Credit Loan Documents, Term Priority Lien Documents and Subordinated Lien Documents; Refinancing; Legending Provisions.

reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Trustee and Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and addressed to the Collateral Trustee or Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, replacement, renewal, extension, increase or Refinancing shall be in accordance with the provisions of both the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, the Term Priority Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents, (iii) any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, replacement, renewal, extension, increase or Refinancing shall not, without the consent of the Collateral Trustee, increase the sum of (1) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount under the Revolving Credit Agreement (including, if any, any undrawn portion of any commitment under the Revolving Credit Agreement) and (2) the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement and not reimbursed, in excess of the Cap Amount, and (iv) any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, replacement, renewal, extension, increase or Refinancing shall not, except in compliance with the Term Priority Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents, grant a Lien on the Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral in favor of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent senior and prior to or pari passu with the Lien on the Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral in favor of the Collateral Trustee.

(b) The Companies agree that each security agreement relating to the Revolving Credit Collateral that is a Term Priority Lien Collateral Document or a Subordinated Lien Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by both the Collateral Trustee and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent):

(“MRC Global”), certain subsidiaries of MRC Global, Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as a “Revolving Credit Collateral Agent”, U.S. Bank National Association, in its capacity as the “Collateral Trustee” and certain other persons which may be or become parties thereto or become bound thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

(c) The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other parties of any written amendment or modification to any Revolving Credit Loan Document, any Term Priority Lien Document or any Subordinated Lien Document, as applicable, but the failure to do so shall not create a cause of action against the party failing to give such notice or create any claim or right on behalf of any third party. In connection with amendments or modifications permitted by Section 5.3, Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall, upon request of the other party, provide copies of all such modifications or amendments and copies of all other relevant documentation to the other Persons.

5.4 Bailees for Perfection.

(a) Revolving Credit Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and Subordinated Lien Claimholders and as bailee for the Collateral Trustee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Term Priority Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4.

(b) The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any other Person to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4. The duties or responsibilities under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below, so that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, until a Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other Revolving Credit Loan Documents (but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes Revolving Credit Collateral) as if the Liens (if any) of the Collateral Trustee did not exist.

(c) The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not have by reason of the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, the Term Priority Lien Documents, the Subordinated Lien Documents, this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship with any other Person with respect to such acts.

(d) Upon the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Collateral Trustee to the extent the Term Priority Lien Obligations or the Subordinated Lien Obligations which are secured by such Pledged Collateral remain outstanding, and second, to the applicable Grantor (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Collateral Trustee in connection with the Collateral Trustee obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

5.5 When Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, Discharge of Term Priority Lien Obligations and Discharge of Subordinated Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If concurrently with the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, the Discharge of Term Priority Lien Obligations or the Discharge of Subordinated Lien Obligations, any of the

Companies enters into any Refinancing of any Revolving Credit Obligation, any Term Priority Lien Obligation or any Subordinated Lien Obligation, as the case may be, which Refinancing is permitted by the Term Priority Lien Documents, the Subordinated Lien Documents and the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, then such Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, such Discharge of Term Priority Lien Obligations or such Discharge of Subordinated Lien Obligations, shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, Discharge of Term Priority Lien Obligations or Discharge of Subordinated Lien Obligations) and, from and after the date on which the New Debt Notice (defined below) is delivered to the Collateral Trustee or the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, as appropriate, in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing shall automatically be treated as Revolving Credit Obligations, Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or Collateral Trustee, as the case may be, under such new Revolving Credit Loan Documents, Term Priority Lien Documents or Subordinated Lien Documents shall be the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or Collateral Trustee for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New Debt Notice”) stating that any of the Companies has entered into new Revolving Credit Loan Documents, new Term Priority Lien Documents or new Subordinated Lien Documents (which notice shall include a complete copy of the relevant new documents and provide the identity of the new agent or trustee for such facility, such agent or trustee, the “New Agent”), the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Collateral Trustee shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such Company or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver, to the extent contemplated by this Agreement, to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, the Collateral Trustee, the Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, as the case may be, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

5.6 Additional Secured Debt. MRC Global and the other applicable Grantors will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of Secured Debt Obligations hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes or who is to become, the registered holder of Term Priority Lien Debt or the registered holder of Subordinated Lien Debt incurred by MRC Global or such other Grantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Secured Documents. MRC Global or the other applicable Grantor may effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, each of the following:

(i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that MRC Global or such other Grantor intends to incur additional Term Priority Lien Debt and/or Subordinated Lien Debt (“Additional Secured Debt”) which will be (1) Term Priority Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Document to be incurred and secured by a Term Priority Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future

Term Priority Lien Debt or (2) Subordinated Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Document to be incurred and secured by a Subordinated Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future Subordinated Lien Debt; and

(ii) an authorized agent, trustee or other representative on behalf of the holders or lenders of any Additional Secured Debt must be designated as an additional holder of Secured Debt Obligations hereunder and must, prior to or substantially concurrent with such designation, sign and deliver on behalf of the holders or lenders of such Additional Secured Debt an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder, and, to the extent necessary or appropriate to facilitate such transaction, a new intercreditor agreement substantially similar to this Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow MRC Global or any other Grantor to incur additional indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of each applicable Secured Document.

VI.

INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS.

6.1 Finance and Sale Issues.

(a) Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall, acting in accordance with the Revolving Credit Agreement, agree to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) other than the identifiable cash proceeds of any Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, in each case, on which a Lien has been granted to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent pursuant to the Revolving Credit Loan Documents or any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the Revolving Credit Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), provided that, the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of indebtedness constituting borrowed money under the Revolving Credit Agreement plus the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued and not reimbursed under the Revolving Credit Agreement does not exceed the sum of the Cap Amount and the DIP Financing Cap, then each Term Priority Lien Claimholder and each Subordinated Lien Claimholder agrees that it (i) will raise no objection to or contest such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing so long as the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and Subordinated Lien Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their perfected interests in the Term Priority Lien Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral, as applicable and (ii) will not support any other Person objecting to such use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing. To the extent the Liens securing the Revolving Credit Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing which meets the requirements above, the Collateral Trustee will subordinate any Liens in the Revolving Credit Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as

expressly agreed by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3). The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, for itself and for the Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Collateral Trustee, for itself and for the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agree that notice received two business days prior to the entry of an order approving usage of Cash Collateral or approving DIP Financing shall be adequate notice.

(b) Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent shall, acting in accordance with the Revolving Credit Agreement, agree to permit a sale of the Revolving Credit Collateral free and clear of Liens or other claims, under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then each Term Priority Lien Claimholder and each Subordinated Lien Claimholder agrees that it will not raise any objection to or contest such sale or request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (it being understood that the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders still, but subject to this Agreement, have rights with respect to the proceeds of such Collateral).

6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay.

(a) Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, the Collateral Trustee, each Term Priority Lien Claimholder and each Subordinated Lien Claimholder, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Revolving Credit Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent.

(b) Until both the Discharge of Term Priority Lien Obligations and the Discharge of Subordinated Lien Obligations have occurred, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that it shall not seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Term Priority Lien Collateral and Subordinated Lien Collateral (other than to the extent such relief is required to exercise its rights under Section 3.2 or Section 3.3), without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee.

6.3 Adequate Protection.

(a) The Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, each agree that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(1) any request by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent for adequate protection with respect to the Revolving Credit Collateral; or

(2) any objection by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Revolving Credit Collateral.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:

(1) if the Revolving Credit Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Revolving Credit Collateral) in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself, any of the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated (except to the extent that the Collateral Trustee already had a Lien on such Collateral (in which case the priorities established by Section 2.1 shall apply)) to the Liens securing the Revolving Credit Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens of the Collateral Trustee on Revolving Credit Collateral; and

(2) in the event the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself, any of the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or any of the other Subordinated Lien Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection of their respective interest in the Revolving Credit Collateral and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself, any of the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will not oppose any request by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent for adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Revolving Credit Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the Revolving Credit Claimholders and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Term Priority Lien Obligations and/or Subordinated Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Lien on such collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the Revolving Credit Claimholders (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Revolving Credit Claimholders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Term Priority Lien Obligations and Subordinated Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such Revolving Credit Obligations under this Agreement

(c) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Revolving Credit Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of any Term Priority Lien Claimholder or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).

6.4 Avoidance Issues. If any Revolving Credit Claimholder, any Term Priority Lien Claimholder or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount paid in respect of Revolving Credit Obligations, Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as the case may be, (a “Recovery”), then such Revolving Credit Claimholders, Term Priority Lien Claimholders or Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to a

reinstatement of Revolving Credit Obligations, Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as the case may be, with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

6.5 Reorganization Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders receive pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan a distribution of debt obligations (“Junior Lien Reorganization Securities”) in whole or in part on account of their junior Liens on the Revolving Credit Collateral (such Collateral, the “Applicable Junior Collateral”) that are secured by Liens on such Applicable Junior Collateral, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Claimholders receive pursuant to such plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan a distribution of debt obligations (“Senior Lien Reorganization Securities”) in whole or in part on account of their Revolving Credit Obligations that are secured by Liens on such Applicable Junior Collateral, then (x) the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain their Junior Lien Reorganization Securities and shall not be obligated to turnover same to any or all of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, and (y) to the extent the Junior Lien Reorganization Securities and the Senior Lien Reorganization Securities are secured by Liens upon the same Applicable Junior Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such Junior Lien Reorganization Securities and Senior Lien Reorganization Securities and will apply with like effect to the Junior Lien Reorganization Securities and Senior Lien Reorganization Securities, to such Liens securing such Junior Lien Reorganization Securities and Senior Lien Reorganization Securities and to the distribution of proceeds of such Applicable Junior Collateral.

6.6 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. The Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders acknowledge and agree that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, the Term Priority Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents constitute three separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Term Priority Lien Obligations, the Subordinated Lien Obligations and the Revolving Credit Obligations are fundamentally different from each other and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, costs and other charges, irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution from, or in respect of, any Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, with the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Revolving Credit

Claimholders amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or Subordinated Lien Claimholders, as applicable.

6.7 Post-Petition Interest.

(a) Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any Term Priority Lien Claimholders or Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Revolving Credit Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any Revolving Credit Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and Subordinated Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.

(b) Neither the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent nor any other Revolving Credit Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Collateral Trustee, any Term Priority Lien Claimholder or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Priority Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable, consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any Term Priority Lien Claimholder’s or Subordinated Lien Claimholder’s, as applicable, claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders on the Collateral.

VII.

RELIANCE; WAIVERS; ETC.

7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders under the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, acknowledges that it and the Revolving Credit Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the Collateral Trustee, any Term Priority Lien Claimholder or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Revolving Credit Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Revolving Credit Loan Documents or this Agreement. The Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, acknowledges that the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the Term Priority Lien Documents and/or Subordinated Lien Documents, as applicable, and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Term Priority Lien Documents, Subordinated Lien Documents or this Agreement; provided, that nothing herein or in any Term Priority Lien Document or Subordinated Lien Document shall be construed to impose any obligation on the Collateral Trustee in its individual capacity to advance its own funds or extend credit to the Companies, any Claimholder or any other Person.

7.2 No Warranties or Liability. The Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders under the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Term Priority Lien Documents or the Subordinated Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Term Priority Lien Documents and Subordinated Lien Documents, as applicable, in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.

The Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, and the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall have no duty to the Collateral Trustee, any of the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with any Grantor (including the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, the Term Priority Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

(a) No right of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, the Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to enforce any provision of this Agreement, any Revolving Credit Loan Document, any Term Priority Lien Document or any Subordinated Lien Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Grantor or by any act or failure to act by such Persons or by any noncompliance by any such Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, any of the Term Priority Lien Documents or any of the Subordinated Lien Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which such Persons, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, the Term Priority Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(a)), the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, the Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, the Term Priority Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the other Persons (as the case may be), without incurring any liabilities to such Persons and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the Obligations or any Lien or guaranty thereof or any liability of any Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the Obligations, without any restriction as to the tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or Collateral Trustee or any rights or remedies under any of the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, the Term Priority Lien Documents or the Subordinated Lien Documents; provided that any such increase in the Revolving Credit Obligations shall not increase the sum of the Indebtedness constituting principal under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the face amount of any letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement and not reimbursed to an amount in excess of the Cap Amount;

(2) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the Collateral (except to the extent provided in this Agreement) or any liability of any Grantor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(3) settle or compromise any Obligation or any other liability of any Grantor or any security therefore or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability in any manner or order that is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and

7.4 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders and the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any Grantor; or

(e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, the Revolving Credit Obligations, any Revolving Credit Claimholder, the Collateral Trustee, the Term Priority Lien Obligations, any Term Priority Lien Claimholder, the Subordinated Lien Obligations or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder in respect of this Agreement.
