(c)           If a change with respect to Euro occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, then this Agreement (including the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (and, to the extent an Event of Default does not exist, the Company) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrowers in the same position, as close as possible, that they would have been in if no change with respect to Euro had occurred.

(d)           Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency and will put the Lenders and the Borrowers in the same position, as close as possible, that they would have been in if no such change had occurred.

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

SECTION 2          COMMITMENTS OF THE LENDERS; BORROWING AND CONVERSION PROCEDURES; LETTER OF CREDIT PROCEDURES; SWING LINE LOANS.

2.1          Commitments.  On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Lenders, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make and/or participate in Credit Extensions to the Borrowers as follows:

2.1.1       Revolving Loans.  Each Lender will make loans on a revolving basis, in Dollars or any Alternative Currency (“Revolving Loans”), from time to time before the Termination Date in such Lender’s Percentage of such aggregate amounts as any Borrower may from time to time request from all Lenders (it being understood that effective at the Effective Time, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by Section 1.3, each Lender shall have outstanding Revolving Loans in an amount equal to its Percentage of the aggregate amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans).  Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and thereafter reborrowed until the Termination Date.

36

2.1.2       Letter of Credit Commitment.  (a) The Issuing Lenders will issue standby and commercial letters of credit in Dollars or any Alternative Currency, in each case containing such terms and conditions as are permitted by this Agreement and are reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Company (collectively with the Existing Letters of Credit, each a “Letter of Credit”), at the request of the Company and for the account of the Company or the Parent or a Subsidiary from time to time before the date which is 30 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date, and (b) as more fully set forth in Section 2.3, each Lender agrees to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit.

2.1.3       Limitations.  The obligations of the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 are subject to the following limitations: (a) the Total Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the Commitment Amount; (b) the Alternative Currency Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit; (c) the Aga Outstandings shall not at any time exceed the Aga Sublimit; (d) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $50,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”); and (e) the Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Commitment.

2.2          Loan Procedures.

2.2.1       Various Types of Loans.  Each Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars may be a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan, and each Revolving Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be a Eurocurrency Loan; provided that Loans in Canadian Dollars to Domestic Borrowers or Canadian Borrowers may be Canadian Prime Rate Loans, in each case as the applicable Borrower shall specify in the related notice of borrowing, continuation or conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.2 or 2.2.3.  Loans made to the same Borrower, of the same Type, denominated in the same currency and, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, having the same Interest Period are sometimes called a “Borrowing”.  Base Rate Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Eurocurrency Loans may be outstanding at the same time; provided that (i) not more than 10 different Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans shall be outstanding at any one time and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans shall at all times be at least the Dollar Equivalent of $3,000,000 and an integral multiple of 500,000 units of the Applicable Currency.  All borrowings, conversions and repayments of Loans shall be effected so that each Lender will have a pro rata share (according to its Percentage) of all Borrowings of Revolving Loans.

2.2.2       Borrowing Procedures.  The applicable Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of each proposed borrowing of Revolving Loans, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) delivery of a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice.  Each such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (a) in the case of a borrowing of Base Rate Loans, 10:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing, (b) in the case of a borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans, 10:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing and (c) in the case of a borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) (i) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing, in the case of a borrowing denominated in Dollars and (ii) at least four Business Days (or five Business days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the proposed date of such borrowing, in the case of a borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency.  Each such notice shall be effective upon

37

receipt by the Administrative Agent, shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the date, amount and Type of Borrowing and, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, the initial Interest Period and the Applicable Currency therefor.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender thereof and, if such borrowing is in an Alternative Currency, of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of such borrowing and the Spot Rate used by the Administrative Agent to determine such aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the date of a proposed borrowing, each Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent at the office specified by the Administrative Agent with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s Percentage of such borrowing and, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 with respect to such borrowing have not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall pay over the requested amount to the applicable Borrower on the requested borrowing date.  Each borrowing shall be on a Business Day.  Each borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of at least the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of 100,000 units of the Applicable Currency.

2.2.3       Conversion and Continuation Procedures.

(a)           Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2.1, the applicable Borrower may, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with clause (b) below:

(i)            elect, as of any Business Day, to convert any outstanding Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars into a Revolving Loan of the other Type applicable thereto; or

(ii)           elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $3,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of 500,000 units of the Applicable Currency) for a new Interest Period.

(b)           The applicable Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of each proposed conversion or continuation, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice.  Each such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) in the case of conversion into Base Rate Loans, 10:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such conversion; (ii) in the case of conversion into Canadian Prime Rate Loans, 10:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such conversion and (iii) in the case of a conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) at least (x) three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation, if the applicable Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans or (y) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the proposed date of such conversion or continuation, if the applicable Loans are to be converted into or continued as Alternative Currency Loans, specifying in each case:

(1)                                 the proposed date of conversion or continuation;

(2)                                 the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans to be converted or continued;

38

(3)                                 the Type of Revolving Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(4)                                 in the case of conversion into (in the case of Eurodollar Loans), or continuation of, Eurocurrency Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period therefor.

(c)           If upon expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, the applicable Borrower has failed to timely select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, to convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans effective on the last day of such expiring Interest Period and (ii) in any other case, to continue such Loans for a one-month Interest Period effective on the last day of such expiring Interest Period.

(d)           The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Loan Notice pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 or, if no timely notice is provided by the applicable Borrower, of the details of any automatic conversion or continuation.

(e)           During the existence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, no Borrower may (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) elect to have (i) Base Rate Loans converted into, or any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans continued as, Eurodollar Loans; (ii) Canadian Prime Rate Loans converted into, or any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars continued as, Eurocurrency Loans; or (iii) any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans in an Alternative Currency (other than, with respect to Domestic Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Dollars) continued for an Interest Period longer than one month.

(f)            If (i) the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 12.2 or (ii) an Event of Default exists and has been continuing for 30 consecutive days, then the Required Lenders may require, by notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, that all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans in an Alternative Currency be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (unless repaid prior to such date).

(g)           No Borrower may submit a Loan Notice with respect to a Loan in a specified currency requesting a conversion or continuation of such Loan into a different currency; any such Loan must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

2.3          Letter of Credit Procedures.

2.3.1       L/C Applications.  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of an L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company.  Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable Issuing Lender, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such Issuing Lender.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by

39

the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated, which shall be Dollars or an Alternative Currency, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than seven days prior to the scheduled Termination Date unless the Company has Cash Collateralized such Letter of Credit or agreed that not less than 30 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date it will Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit) and whether such Letter of Credit is to be transferable.  So long as the applicable Issuing Lender has not received written notice from any party to this Agreement that (a) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 with respect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit have not been satisfied, or (b) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.10.1(d)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion,  such Issuing Lender shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date.  Each Issuing Lender shall promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender and of any amendment thereto, extension thereof or event or circumstance changing the amount available for drawing thereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i)            any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect at the Effective Time, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable at the Effective Time and that such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii)           the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.3.2       Participations in Letters of Credit.  Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, at the Effective Time), the applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender, and each other Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from

40

such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such other Lender’s Percentage, in such Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto.  For the purposes of this Agreement, the unparticipated portion of each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the applicable Issuing Lender’s “participation” therein.

2.3.3       Reimbursement Obligations.  In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such Issuing Lender (at its option) shall have notified the Company (either generally or with respect to a particular Letter of Credit) that such Issuing Lender will require reimbursement in Dollars or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified such Issuing Lender promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse such Issuing Lender in Dollars.  In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by an Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars or (ii) the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by an Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), or (in each case) not later than the time specified above on the Business Day immediately following the Honor Date if the Company does not receive notice of the applicable payment by 10:00 a.m. on the Honor Date (in which case the Company shall pay interest on the amount of the applicable payment for the period from the Honor Date to the date such payment is due at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of a payment in Dollars, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (y) in any other case, the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be its cost of funds in the applicable currency for such period plus the Eurocurrency Margin), the Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent for each payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company honoring any demand for payment made by the beneficiary thereunder.  If the Company fails to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender by the date and time specified in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the amount of such Lender’s Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans to be disbursed on such date in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitment Amount and the conditions set forth in Section 11.2.1. Any Unreimbursed Amount not reimbursed on the date required above shall bear interest from the date such Unreimbursed Amount was due to the date such amount is paid (by the making of Base Rate Loans or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Base Rate Margin plus, beginning on the third Business Day after receipt of notice from such Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement, 2%.  The applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder; provided that the failure of such Issuing Lender to so notify the Company shall not affect the rights of such Issuing Lender or the Lenders in any manner whatsoever.

41

2.3.4       Limitation on Obligations of Issuing Lenders.   Each Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit.  The Company hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 2.3.10; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against the applicable Issuing Lender, and such Issuing Lender may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and an Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.  Any applicable Issuing Lender may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

2.3.5       Funding by Lenders to Issuing Lenders.  If an Issuing Lender makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and such payment or disbursement is not reimbursed (by the making of Base Rate Loans or otherwise) by the date and time specified in Section 2.3.3) or if any reimbursement received from the Company in respect of a payment or reimbursement under any Letter of Credit is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each other Lender shall be obligated to fund its participation in such Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its pro rata share (according to its Percentage), in Dollars, of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment by any Lender shall diminish the obligations of the Company under Section 2.3.3), and upon notice from the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Lender of such obligation.  Each other

42

Lender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to so pay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, in immediately available funds for the applicable Issuing Lender’s account the amount of such other Lender’s Percentage of such payment or disbursement.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars, or if requested by such Issuing Lender, the equivalent amount thereof in another Alternative Currency as determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined as of such funding date) for the purchase of such Alternative Currency with Dollars.  If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after noon on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the applicable Issuing Lender’s account forthwith on demand for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect.  Any Lender’s failure to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Percentage of such payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Percentage of any such payment or disbursement.

2.3.6       Information regarding Letters of Credit.  Each Issuing Lender agrees, upon request of the Administrative Agent, to deliver to the Administrative Agent a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, together with such information related thereto as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.  The Administrative Agent agrees, upon request of any Lender, to deliver to such Lender a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit, together with such information related thereto as such Lender may reasonably request.

2.3.7       Applicants.  If the Company requests the issuance of any Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries, the Parent or such Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated with the Company to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for any payment or disbursement in respect of such Letter of Credit (and references in this Section 2.3 to the Company shall, to the extent appropriate, be deemed to include the Parent or such Subsidiary with respect to such Letter of Credit).

2.3.8       Applicability of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits Publication No. 600 (the “UCP”) or such version of the UCP as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

2.3.9       Cash Collateral.  If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the outstanding amount of all L/C Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the

43

Company shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the outstanding amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

2.3.10     Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i)            any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii)           the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Company or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii)          any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)          waiver by such Issuing Lender of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Lender protection and not the protection of the Company or any waiver by such Issuing Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice the Company;

(v)           honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(vi)          any payment made by such Issuing Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(vii)         any payment by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any or insolvency law;

(viii)        any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

44

(ix)          any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any Subsidiary;

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to punitive or consequential damages or lost profits, claims in respect of which are waived by such Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions by Issuing Lender constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

The Company shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Company’s instructions or other irregularity, the Company will immediately notify the applicable Issuing Lender.  The Company shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

2.4          Swing Line Loans.

2.4.1       Swing Line Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall from time to time make loans to any Borrower in Dollars and to any UK Borrower in Euros or Sterling (each a “Swing Line Loan” and collectively the “Swing Line Loans”) in accordance with this Section 2.4 in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed (a) in the case of Dollar Swing Line Loans, the Dollar Swing Line Sublimit, and (b) in the case of AC Swing Line Loans, the AC Swing Line Sublimit.  Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.4 may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the Termination Date.

2.4.2       Swing Line Loan Procedures.  The applicable Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly inform the Swing Line Lender) of each proposed Swing Line Loan, which may be given by:  (A) telephone or (B) a Swingline Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Swingline Loan Notice.  Each Swingline Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) in the case of a Dollar Swing Line Loan, 1:00 p.m. on the proposed date of such Swing Line Loan, (ii) in the case of an AC Swing Line Loan, 1:00 p.m., London time, on the proposed date of such Swing Line Loan, or (iii) in each case, such later time as the Swing Line Lender may approve in its sole discretion.  Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day), the Applicable Currency and the amount (which shall be an integral multiple of 100,000 units of the Applicable Currency) of such Swing Line Loan.  So long as the Swing Line Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 with respect to the making of such Swing Line Loan have not been satisfied, the Swing Line Lender shall make the requested Swing Line Loan.  The Swing Line Lender shall pay over the requested amount to the applicable Borrower on the requested borrowing date.  Concurrently with the making of any Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred, and each other Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and

45

received from the Swing Line Lender, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such other Lender’s Percentage in such Swing Line Loan (but such participation shall remain unfunded until required to be funded pursuant to Section 2.4.3).

2.4.3       Prepayments of Swing Line Loans.  Each Borrower may from time to time prepay without premium or penalty the Swing Line Loans of such Borrower in whole or in part, in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of 100,000 units of the Applicable Currency.  The applicable Borrower will deliver a Notice of Loan Prepayment to be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later (a) in the case of Dollar Swing Line Loans, 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day of such prepayment, (b) in the case of AC Swing Line Loans, 1:00 p.m., London time on the Business Day of such prepayment or (c) in each case, such later time as the Swing Line Lender shall approve in its sole discretion, specifying the Swing Line Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of such prepayment.

2.4.4       Refunding of, or Funding of Participations in, Swing Line Loans.  The Swing Line Lender may at any time, in its sole discretion, on behalf of any applicable Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the applicable Borrower) requesting that each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender in its individual capacity) make a Revolving Loan (which shall be (i) in the case of a Dollar Swing Line Loan, a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) in the case of an AC Swing Line Loan, a Eurocurrency Loan in the currency of such AC Swing Line Loan) in such Lender’s Percentage of the amount of such Swing Line Loan for the purpose of repaying such Swing Line Loan (and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds to repay the applicable Swing Line Loan); provided that if the conditions precedent to a borrowing of Revolving Loans are not then satisfied or for any other reason the Lenders may not then make Revolving Loans, then instead of making Revolving Loans, each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) shall become immediately obligated to fund its participation in the applicable Swing Line Loan and shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender an amount in the Applicable Currency equal to such Lender’s Percentage of such Swing Line Loan.  If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of its obligation to fund its participation in Swing Line Loans (it being understood that any such notice received after 12:00 noon on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Swing Line Lender’s account forthwith on demand for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect plus, beginning on the third Business Day after demand, 1% per annum.  Any Lender’s failure to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the amount of a Swing Line Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Percentage of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Lender’s Percentage of any such amount.

2.4.5       Repayment of Participations.  Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender of immediately available funds from or on

46

behalf of the applicable Borrower (a) in reimbursement of any Swing Line Loan with respect to which a Lender has paid the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation therein or (b) in payment of any interest on such Swing Line Loan, the Administrative Agent will pay to such Lender its pro rata share (according to its Percentage) thereof (and the Swing Line Lender shall receive the amount otherwise payable to any Lender that did not so pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan).

2.4.6       Participation Obligations Unconditional.

(a)           Each Lender’s obligation to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender the amount of its participation interest in any Swing Line Loan as provided in Section 2.4.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof, (iv) any termination of the Commitments or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever.

(b)           Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, no Lender shall be required to purchase a participation interest in any Swing Line Loan if, prior to the making by the Swing Line Lender of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender received written notice from such Lender specifying that one or more of the conditions precedent to the making of such Swing Line Loan were not satisfied and, in fact, such conditions precedent were not satisfied at the time of the making of such Swing Line Loan.

2.5          Commitments Several.  The failure of any Lender to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender.

2.6          Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to any Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to a Credit Extension are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

2.7          Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a)           The Company, from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall identify the proposed Subsidiary Borrower and its jurisdiction of organization), may (i) add any Eligible Subsidiary in an Eligible Jurisdiction as a Subsidiary Borrower by delivery of an executed Subsidiary Borrower Supplement and (ii) request that any other Eligible Subsidiary become a Subsidiary Borrower.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward a copy of any such notice to each Lender.  Upon delivery of the notice and Subsidiary Borrower Supplement

47

(in the case of clause (i) above) or, in the case of clause (ii) above, upon the Administrative Agent’s consent to such designation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, then such Eligible Subsidiary shall become a Borrower hereunder; provided that (x) such Eligible Subsidiary and the Company shall have delivered a Subsidiary Borrower Supplement to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each Lender) not later than five Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such designation; (y) to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself or any Lender) in writing at least five Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such designation, the Company shall have delivered all documents and information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” rules and regulations with respect to the proposed Subsidiary Borrower; and (iii) prior to the making of any Credit Extension to such Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower shall have satisfied the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11.3.

(b)           In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 2.7(a), an Eligible Subsidiary that would qualify as a Foreign Borrower may not be a Borrower hereunder if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the addition of such Eligible Subsidiary would (i) violate any applicable law or (ii) have any material adverse effect on the Lenders.

(c)           Each Domestic Borrower shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for all of the Loans and other Obligations of each other Borrower.  Subject to the provisions of each applicable Foreign Guaranty, the Obligations of all Subsidiary Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature.

(d)           So long as the principal of and interest on all Loans made to any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower in such capacity (other than contingent indemnification obligations owed directly by such Subsidiary) shall have been fully performed, the Company may, upon not less than two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as a “Subsidiary Borrower”.

2.8          Currency Valuations.  The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of each Loan and Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars on each Revaluation Date, and such determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent will provide the Company with the amount so determined upon request and, in any event, promptly following the end of each month.

2.9          Cash Collateral.

2.9.1       Certain Credit Support Events.  If (a) an Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in any Unreimbursed Amount, (b) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding which has not been cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.3.1, (c) the Company shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 12.2, or (d) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender and the applicable Fronting Exposure has not been Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 2.3.1, the Company shall immediately (in the case of clause (c) above), or within one Business Day (in all other cases) following any written request by the

48

Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than 105% of the applicable L/C Obligations or, in the case of clause (d) above, the applicable Fronting Exposure (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (d) above, after giving effect to Section 2.10.1(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

2.9.2       Grant of Security Interest.  The Company and each Defaulting Lender that provides Cash Collateral hereunder hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each applicable Issuing Lender and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all Cash Collateral granted by it pursuant hereto, including all deposit accounts and balances therein, and all other property provided as Cash Collateral, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.9.3.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or each applicable Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount required pursuant to Section 2.3.9 or this Section 2.9, the Company or the applicable Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America.  The Company or the applicable Defaulting Lender shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

2.9.3       Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.9 or Sections 2.10, 6.4.2 or 12.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

2.9.4       Release.  Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligation giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 15.9.1(y)) or (ii) upon the Company’s request if there exists Cash Collateral in excess of the requirements of this Section 2.9 or Section 2.3.9, as applicable, provided that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Company shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default.

2.10        Defaulting Lenders.

2.10.1     Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

49

(a)           Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 15.1.

(b)           Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.5 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to an Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.9; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.9; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Loan Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or such Defaulting Lenders Percentage of any Unreimbursed Amounts in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.10.1(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.10.1(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

50

(c)           Certain Fees.

(i)            No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 5.1 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii)           Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.9.

(iii)          With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), the Company shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) below, (y) pay to each applicable Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(d)           Reallocation of Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of a Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Subject to Section 15.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e)           Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation described in the foregoing clause (d) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.9.

2.10.2     Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender (or a Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the clause (c) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”), the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth

51

therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders (and to the extent requested by any other Lender, pay to such other Lender the amount that would be payable to such other Lender pursuant to Section 8.4 if the applicable Borrower prepaid the portion of the Loans purchased from such other Lender on the date of such purchase) or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.10.1(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 3          RECORDKEEPING.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall record in its records the date, currency and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, each repayment or conversion thereof and, in the case of each Eurocurrency Loan, the dates on which each Interest Period for such Loan shall begin and end.  The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the unpaid Loans made by such Lender.  The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to repay the principal amount of the Loans made by such Lender together with all interest accruing thereon.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

In addition to the accounts and records referred to in the paragraph above, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 4          INTEREST.

4.1          Interest Rates.

4.1.1       Interest Rates for Revolving Loans.  Subject to Section 4.1.3, each Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan for the period commencing on the date such Loan is advanced until such Loan is paid in full as follows:

52

(a)           at all times such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin;

(b)           at all times such Loan is a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Canadian Prime Rate Margin; and

(c)           at all times such Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to each Interest Period for such Loan plus the Eurocurrency Margin.

4.1.2       Interest Rates on Swing Line Loans.  Subject to Section 4.1.3, the applicable Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan made to it at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of a Dollar Swing Line Loan, the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin and (ii) in the case of AC Swing Line Loans, a fluctuating rate set daily equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for a Eurodollar Loan with a one month Interest Period commencing on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus the Eurocurrency Margin.

4.1.3       Interest Rates upon Default.  Notwithstanding Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, upon the written request of the Required Lenders at any time (and for so long as) an Event of Default exists, the interest rate applicable to each Loan shall be increased by 2% per annum; provided that such increased interest rate shall not apply to obligations owed to a Defaulting Lender for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

4.2          Interest Payment Dates.  Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan, Canadian Prime Rate Loan and Swing Line Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and at maturity.  Accrued interest on each Eurocurrency Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating to such Loan (and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months, on each three-month anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period) and at maturity.  After maturity, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.

4.3          Setting and Notice of Eurocurrency Rates.  The applicable Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and notice thereof shall be given by the Administrative Agent promptly to the Company and each Lender.  Each determination of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error.  The Administrative Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Lender, deliver to the Company or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any applicable Eurocurrency Rate hereunder.

4.4          Computation of Interest.  All determinations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate), Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Dollar Swing Line Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed.  All other computations of interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days, or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to

53

which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 7.1, bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

4.5          Obligations Several.  Subject to the provisions of each applicable Foreign Guaranty, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be responsible for any other Borrower’s failure to pay any interest due hereunder.

SECTION 5          FEES.

5.1          Commitment Fee.  Subject to  Section 2.10, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, for the period from the date on which the Effective Time occurs to the Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect from time to time of the daily average of such Lender’s Percentage of the unused amount of the Commitment Amount.  For purposes of calculating usage under this Section, the Commitment Amount shall be deemed used to the extent of the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (but not Swing Line Loans) and the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit at such time.  Such commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date for any period then ending for which such commitment fee shall not have theretofore been paid.  The commitment fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

5.2          Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)           Subject to  Section 2.10, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders pro rata according to their respective Percentages a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the LC Fee Rate per annum in effect from time to time of the Dollar Equivalent of the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days); provided that, at the written request of the Required Lenders, at any time an Event of Default exists the rate applicable to each Letter of Credit shall be increased by 2% per annum.  The Letter of Credit fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (and, if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding on the Termination Date, thereafter on demand) for the period from the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit to the date such payment is due or, if earlier, the date on which such Letter of Credit expired or was terminated.

(b)           The Company agrees to pay each Issuing Lender a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in the amount separately agreed to between the Company and such Issuing Lender.

(c)           In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, the Company agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Lender, for its own account, such fees and expenses as such Issuing

54

Lender customarily requires in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit in similar situations.

5.3          Up-Front Fees.  The Company agrees to pay to the Lead Arrangers for the account of the Lenders such up-front fees as have been previously agreed to by the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders.

5.4          Administrative Agent’s and Lead Arrangers’ Fees.  The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger such fees as are mutually agreed to from time to time by the Company and the applicable Person.

SECTION 6          REPAYMENT OF LOANS; CHANGES IN COMMITMENTS; PREPAYMENTS; AND EXTENSION OF TERMINATION DATE.

6.1          Repayment of Loans.

(a)           All Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Termination Date.

(b)           All Swing Line Loans shall be repaid in full promptly following demand by the Swing Line Lender (and, in any event, on the Termination Date).

6.2          Changes in the Commitment Amount.

6.2.1       Voluntary Reductions and Termination of the Commitment Amount.  The Company may from time to time on at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or such lesser time as is approved by the Administrative Agent) received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) permanently reduce (subject to any subsequent permitted increase in the Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 6.2.2) the Commitment Amount to an amount not less than the Total Outstandings.  Any such reduction shall be in an amount not less than $3,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000.  The Company may at any time on like notice terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder in respect of such Loans and Cash Collateralization in full or the issuance of backstop letters of credit, pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lenders, of all obligations arising with respect to the Letters of Credit.  Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.2.1 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.  All reductions of the Commitment Amount shall reduce the Commitments pro rata among the Lenders according to their respective Percentages.

6.2.2       Increase in the Commitment Amount.

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 15.1), the Company may, from time to time, by means of a letter delivered to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G, request that the Commitment Amount be increased (which increase may take the form of an increase in the revolving Commitments, or new revolving

55

tranches (each such increase in Commitments or additional revolving tranche, a “Tranche Increase”) or term loan tranches (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”); provided that (i) the aggregate amount of all such increases during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed $500,000,000, (ii) any such increase in the Commitment Amount shall be in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent of $25,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $500,000 (or such other amount as the Administrative Agent may agree in any particular instance), (iii) the Company may make a maximum of 10 such requests and (iv) any such Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan may be denominated in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency.

(b)           Any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan may be effected by (i) increasing the Commitment of one or more Lenders which have agreed to such increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or (ii) adding one or more commercial banks or other Persons as a party hereto (each an “Additional Lender”; provided that each Additional Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Company and, unless the Additional Lender is an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the Administrative Agent and, if such Additional Lender will have a Commitment to make revolving loans, the Issuing Lenders and the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) with a Commitment in an amount agreed to by any such Additional Lender.

(c)           Any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan shall be effective three Business Days (or such other period agreed to by the Administrative Agent, the Company and, as applicable, each Increasing Lender and each Additional Lender) after the date on which the Administrative Agent has received and acknowledged receipt of the applicable increase letters in the form of Annex 1 (in the case of an Increasing Lender) or Annex 2 (in the case an Additional Lender) to Exhibit G.

(d)           As a condition precedent to any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan:

(i)            the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (A) a certificate of each Loan Party that will be a borrower under, or a guarantor of the obligations arising under, such Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan, signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party, (x) certifying and attaching resolutions of such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan, and (y) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase or addition,

(1)                                 the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Section 9 and of the Loan Parties in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such increase, except (I) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (II) that for purposes of this clause (d)(i), the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 9.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 (to the extent that such financial statements are later than the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 9.4);

56

(2)                                 no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists; and

(3)                                 the Parent is in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Section 10.6; and

(ii)                                  opinion letters consistent with those delivered on the date of this Agreement, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent;

provided that, with respect to any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan incurred primarily to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, so long as such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated within 270 days of the date of execution of the definitive documentation for such Acquisition:

(A)          the reference to “representations and warranties” in clause (i)(1) above shall refer only to the representations and warranties that constitute Specified Representations and the Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement Representations or, in each case, other customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” representations as are agreed to by the applicable Increasing Lenders or Additional Lenders;

(B)          the condition set forth in clauses (i)(2) above shall be deemed satisfied so long as no payment or bankruptcy Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists as of the date of the execution of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition;

(C)          the condition set forth in clause (i)(3) above will be tested as of the date of the execution of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition; and

(D)          any opinion letter to the extent required to be delivered pursuant to clause (ii) above will be delivered on the date of the execution of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition.

(e)           In the case of an Incremental Term Loan only, this Agreement shall have been amended, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Lender providing such term loan tranche, to include such terms as are customary for a term loan facility and such economic terms, including pricing, fees, original issue discount and premiums, as the Company and each Lender providing such term loans shall agree.

(f)            The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of any increase in the Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 6.2.2 and of the Commitment and Percentage of each Lender after giving effect thereto.  The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 15.1), the Administrative Agent, the Company, each Additional Lender and each Increasing Lender, as applicable, may make arrangements to stage the timing of any such increase to the then existing Revolving Loan Commitment, or to cause an Additional Lender or an Increasing Lender to temporarily hold risk participations in the outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders

57

(rather than fund its Percentage of all outstanding Revolving Loans concurrently with the applicable increase), in each case with a view toward minimizing breakage costs and transfers of funds in connection with any increase in the Commitment Amount.  The Company acknowledges that if, as a result of a non-pro-rata increase in the Commitment Amount, any Revolving Loans are prepaid or converted (in whole or in part) on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then such prepayment or conversion shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.4.

(g)           Except as provided in clause (d) above, no increase in the Commitment Amount may be effected if an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default exists on the date of such proposed increase.  Except as set forth in clause (b) above, no consent of any Lender not participating in any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan shall be required for any such Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Section 6.2.

6.3          Extension of Termination Date.

6.3.1       Requests for Extension.  The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 120 days and not later than 45 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect (the “Existing Termination Date”), request that each Lender extend the Termination Date for an additional one year (a “Termination Extension Request”).

6.3.2       Lender Elections to Extend.  Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 30 days prior to the Existing Termination Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether such Lender agrees to such extension.  Each Lender that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date), it being understood that any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent of its determination on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender.  The election of any Lender to agree to an extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than 29 days prior to the Existing Termination Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately succeeding Business Day).

6.3.3       Additional Commitment Lenders.  The Company shall have the right to replace any Non-Extending Lender with one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 15.9.1; provided that each such Additional Commitment Lender shall enter into an Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Existing Termination Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s then-existing Commitment hereunder).

6.3.4       Minimum Extension Requirement.  If (and only if) the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend the Termination Date (each, an “Extending Lender”) and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Existing

58

Termination Date, then, effective as of the Existing Termination Date, the Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date one year after the Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

6.3.5       Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions.  As a condition precedent to any extension, the Company shall (a) deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Existing Termination Date (in sufficient copies for each Extending Lender and each Additional Commitment Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying that immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such extension, (i) the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Section 9 and of the Loan Parties contained in the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Existing Termination Date, except (x) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (y) that for purposes of this Section 6.3.5, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 9.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 10.1.1 and 10.1.2; and (ii) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists; (b) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver such documents as are necessary or appropriate to confirm that such extension has been approved or consented to by each Loan Party; and (c) pay all amounts payable hereunder to each Non-Extending Lender (other than contingent indemnification obligations). In addition, on the Existing Termination Date, the Borrowers shall make such other payments of Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 8.4) to the extent necessary to keep outstanding Loans ratable with the respective Percentages of the Lenders after giving effect to such extension, it being understood that such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Extending Lenders, which such Borrowings shall be made ratably by the Extending Lenders in accordance with their extended Commitments.

6.3.6       Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provision in Section 7.6, 15.1 or 15.9 to the contrary.

6.4          Prepayments.

6.4.1       Voluntary Prepayments.  Any Borrower may from time to time prepay Revolving Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that the Company shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender) a Notice of Loan Prepayment not later than 11:00 a.m. (a) on the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) in the case of Base Rate Loans, (b) on the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day)  in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans, (c) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars and (d) four Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, in each case specifying the Revolving Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of prepayment.  Each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be in a minimum Dollar Equivalent amount of

59

$500,000 or a higher integral multiple of 100,000 units of the Applicable Currency.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid and shall be subject to Section 8.4.  Swing Line Loans may be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.4.3.

6.4.2       Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)           Subject to Sections 2.7(c) and 6.4.2(c), if on any date the Total Outstandings exceed the Commitment Amount, the Borrowers shall immediately, and without notice or demand, prepay Loans and/or Unreimbursed Amounts and/or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(b)           Subject to Sections 2.7(c) and 6.4.2(c), if on any Revaluation Date the Alternative Currency Outstandings exceed 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Borrowers shall, within two Business Days after receipt of notice thereof, prepay Alternative Currency Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies in an amount sufficient to cause the Alternative Currency Outstandings to be equal to or less than the Alternative Currency Sublimit.

(c)           Subject to Section 2.7(c), if on any date the Aga Outstandings exceed 101% of the Aga Sublimit, Aga shall, within two Business Days after receipt of notice thereof, prepay Loans in an amount sufficient to cause the Aga Outstandings to be equal to or less than the Aga Sublimit.

(d)           No payments under Sections 6.4.2(a) or (b) by any Foreign Borrowers or Domestic Borrower that is an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary shall be allocated to the repayment of any Obligation of a Domestic Borrower or shall otherwise reduce the Obligations of a Domestic Borrower.

SECTION 7          MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES.

7.1          Making of Payments.  All payments of principal of or interest on the Loans, and of all commitment fees and Letter of Credit Fees, shall be made by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds without (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) setoff or counterclaim at the office specified by the Administrative Agent (a) in the case of principal and interest payments with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, in the Applicable Currency, and (b) in the case of any other amount, in Dollars or such other currency as shall be specified herein, in each case not later than noon (Local Time) on the date due; and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next following Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share (if any) of all such payments received in collected funds by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.  All payments under Section 8.1 shall be made by the applicable Borrower directly to the Lender entitled thereto.

7.2          Application of Certain Payments.  Subject to the requirements of Section 6.4, each payment of principal shall be applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct by notice to be received by the Administrative Agent on or before the date of such payment or, in the absence of such notice, as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its discretion,

60

provided that no payment pursuant to this Section 7.2 by any Foreign Borrowers or Domestic Borrowers that are Excluded Domestic Subsidiaries shall be applied to or otherwise reduce the Loans of any Domestic Borrower and no payment pursuant to this Section 7.2 by any member of the Aga Group shall be applied to or otherwise reduce the Loans of any other Loan Party other than another member of the Aga Group.  Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, the Administrative Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment.

7.3          Due Date Extension.  If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of commitment fees or Letter of Credit Fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such immediately following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case such date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and, in the case of a payment of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.

7.4          Failure to Make Payments.  Unless a Lender or a Borrower, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made.  The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption.  If a Lender or a Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Rate until the third Business Day after demand by the Administrative Agent and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant obligation (or, if no interest rate is so specified, the Base Rate from time to time in effect).  If and to the extent that a Borrower and a Lender shall both pay interest to the Administrative Agent for any period as a result of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the appropriate amount to the Person that made a payment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.  Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

7.5          Setoff.  Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Lender have all rights of setoff and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, each Borrower agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may apply all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of any Borrower then or thereafter with the Administrative Agent or such Lender to the payment of any Obligations of such Borrower (or, subject to the limitations on joint and several liability set forth in Section 2.7(c), to the Obligations of another Borrower) hereunder, whether or not then due, provided,

61

that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Issuing Lender and each other Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Issuing Lender, such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Issuing Lender and each other Lender agrees to notify the applicable Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

7.6          Proration of Payments.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 8.7 or 15.9 or any payment to the Swing Line Lender in respect of a Swing Line Loan) on account of principal of or interest on any of its Loans (or on account of its participation in any other Credit Extension) in excess of its pro rata share (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on their respective Loans (or such participations) then held by them, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Loans (or sub-participations in the other Credit Extensions) held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them according to their respective Percentages; provided that if any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

7.7          Taxes.

7.7.1       Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(a)           All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by any applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, then such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.7.5 or 7.7.6 below.

(b)           If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (i) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 7.7.5 or 7.7.6 below, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant

62

Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.7) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(c)           If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable law other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (i) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by such law, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 7.7.5 or 7.7.6 below, (ii) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such law, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such law, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.7) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

7.7.2       Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.7.1, the Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

7.7.3       Tax Indemnifications.

(a)           Each of the Domestic Borrowers (other than any Domestic Borrower that is an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary) shall, and does hereby indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.7) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender or an Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each of the Domestic Borrowers (other than any Domestic Borrower that is an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary) shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an Issuing Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 7.7.3(b) below.

(b)           Each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing

63

Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and any Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.9.2 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and any Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any amount at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (b).

7.7.4       Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 7.7, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent  the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the  Administrative Agent

7.7.5       Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(a)           Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or by Governmental Authorities of the applicable jurisdiction or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation either (i) set forth in Section 7.7.5(b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iv) below or (ii) required by applicable law other than the Code or the Governmental Authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.  For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), from and after the Effective Time, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement

64

as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(b)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

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

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

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

(4)                                 to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed  copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership

65

and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

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

(v)           Each Lender agrees that if any form, notification, confirmation (including Tax Confirmation) or certification it previously delivered or been treated as having given pursuant to this Section 7.7 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form, notification, confirmation or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(vi)          If a Lender is not, or ceases to be, a UK Qualifying Lender, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company for the benefit of the Loan Parties.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each Lender shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent and the Company (if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Company) a written confirmation that it is or, as the case may be, is not a UK Qualifying Lender.

(vii)         Each Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement on or after the Effective Time and makes a Credit Extension to a UK Borrower shall indicate either by means of a certification delivered to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of

Exhibit L or in the Assignment Agreement, as appropriate, upon becoming a Lender, which of the following categories it falls in (in relation to UK Borrowers): (A) not a UK Qualifying Lender; (B) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender or a UK Non-Bank Lender); (C) a Treaty Lender; or (D) a UK Non-Bank Lender.

7.7.6       Treaty Lender Filings.  Notwithstanding Section 7.7.5(a), each Treaty Lender and each Borrower that makes a payment to which any Treaty Lender is entitled under a Loan Document shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax, including making and filing an application for relief under a double tax treaty.  Each Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Passport Scheme and desires that such scheme apply to this Agreement shall (a) in relation to a Treaty Lender that is a Lender as of the Effective Time, confirm that it wishes such scheme to apply to its Loans under this Agreement by including that Treaty Lender’s scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in Schedule 2.1 and (b) in relation to a Treaty Lender that becomes a Lender after the Effective Time, confirm to the Administrative Agent and the Company, within five Business Days of the date it becomes a Lender under this Agreement, that it wishes such scheme to apply to its Loans under this Agreement and provide the Administrative Agent and the Company with its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence and, having done so, such Treaty Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to Section 7.7.5 (with respect to any UK Borrower) or this Section 7.7.6.  Following the receipt of such confirmation, the UK Borrower will file Form DTTP 2 in respect of such Lender with UK HMRC promptly, and in all cases within 30 days of the date such Lender became a Lender under this Agreement, and shall promptly deliver a copy of such filed Form DTTP 2 to the relevant Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent).

7.7.7       Treatment of Certain Refunds.

(i)            Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be.  If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any 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 7.7, 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 a Borrower under this Section 7.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to any Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax or

67

other liability giving rise to the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been incurred.  This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(ii)           If any Borrower determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 7.7, it shall pay to the relevant Lender or Issuing Lender an amount equal to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Borrower in obtaining such refund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Borrower be required to pay any amount to a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection if such payment would place such Borrower in a less favourable net after-Tax position than such Borrower would have been in if the Tax or other liability giving rise to the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been incurred.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Borrower to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

7.7.8       VAT.

(i)            All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any Loan Party to any Recipient that (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT that is chargeable on such supply, and accordingly, subject to Section 7.7.8(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any Loan Party under a Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, such Loan Party must pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Recipient shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Loan Party).

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

(1)                                 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 the VAT.  The Customer must (where this paragraph (1) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Customer receives from the relevant tax authority which the Customer reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

68

(2)                                 Where the Customer is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Customer, pay to the Customer an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Customer reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(iii)          Where a Loan Document requires any Loan Party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, such Loan Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Recipient 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 7.7.8 to any Loan Party shall, at any time when such Loan 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 United Kingdom’s Value Added Tax Act 1994 or applicable legislation in other jurisdictions having a similar effect).

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

7.7.9       Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

7.8          Aga Liability.  For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, under no circumstance shall a Loan Party that is a member of the Aga Group (i) be liable for the Loans or other Obligations of any Loan Party that is not also member of the Aga Group or (ii) be responsible for the failure of any Loan Party that is not also a member of the Aga Group to pay any principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 8          INCREASED COSTS; SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR EUROCURRENCY LOANS.

8.1          Increased Costs.

8.1.1       Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with

69

or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 8.1.5) or any Issuing Lender;

(ii)           subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)          impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any applicable Letter of Credit or participation of such Lender therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan  (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender 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 such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Subsidiary Borrower to pay) to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

8.1.2       Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or any Issuing Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Subsidiary Borrower to pay) to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

8.1.3       Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 (which certificate shall set forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in

70

reasonable detail) and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Subsidiary Borrower to pay) such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

8.1.4       Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

8.1.5       Additional Reserve Requirements.  The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Subsidiary Borrower to pay) to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant date on which interest is payable, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

8.2          Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.  If with respect to any Interest Period:

(a)           deposits in the applicable currency (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Administrative Agent in the relevant interbank market for such Interest Period, or the Administrative Agent otherwise reasonably determines (which determination, if made in good faith, shall be binding and conclusive on the Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurocurrency Rate; or

71

(b)           the Required Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or funding such Eurocurrency Loans for such Interest Period (after taking into account any amount to which such Lenders may be entitled under Section 8.1);

then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) no Lender shall be under any obligation to make or convert into Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurocurrency Loan, such Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, (x) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan, (y) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated Canadian Dollars of Domestic Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers, automatically convert to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan and (z) in the case of a Loan denominated in a currency other than Dollars (or with respect to Domestic Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Dollars), such Loan shall be redenominated in Dollars at the Spot Rate, in each case until the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (in the case of clause (a)), or the Required Lenders advise the Administrative Agent (in the case of clause (b)), that such circumstances no longer exist, in which case the Administrative Agent shall revoke such notice, at which time the Lenders’ obligation to make Eurocurrency Loans shall be reinstated. Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans and, if such Borrower fails to so revoke any such request, such request shall be deemed to be a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans.

8.3          Changes in Law Rendering Eurocurrency Loans Unlawful.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Loans, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) such Lender shall have no obligation to make or convert into Eurocurrency Loans (but shall make a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable) concurrently with the making of or conversion into Eurocurrency Loans by the Lenders that are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share, calculated using the Spot Rate on the date of borrowing or conversion, of the applicable Borrowing) and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the applicable Change in Law), such Eurocurrency Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan, (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated Canadian Dollars of Domestic Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers, automatically convert to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan and (iii) in the case of a Loan denominated in a currency other than Dollars (or with respect to Domestic Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Dollars), such Loan shall be redenominated in Dollars at the Spot Rate and (c) any Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans that was outstanding at the time the Company received notice of the applicable Change in Law from the applicable Lender as provided above.  Subject to the following sentence, each Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan made by a Lender that, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a Eurocurrency Loan (an “Affected Loan”) shall remain outstanding as a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, for the same period as the Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent such circumstances; provided that upon request of the Company, the applicable

72

Borrower or the affected Lender at least five days before any continuation of such a Borrowing that is in a currency other than Dollars, the amount of such Affected Loan shall be adjusted, if necessary, to be equal to such Lender’s pro rata share, calculated using the Spot Rate on the date of such continuation, of such Borrowing, and the applicable Borrower (if the amount of such Affected Loan decreases) or such Lender (if the amount of such Loan increases) shall remit the appropriate amount to the other party (through the Administrative Agent).  Any Lender that has given a notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company if the circumstances giving rise to such notice cease to exist, at which time such Lender’s obligation to make Eurocurrency Loans shall be reinstated.  If a relevant Change in Law affects one or more, but not all currencies available hereunder, then this Section 8.3 shall only apply with respect to the affected currencies.

8.4          Funding Losses.  Upon demand by any Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail,  a copy of which will be furnished to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable Borrower to compensate) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any net loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)           any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)           any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Borrower;

(c)           any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency in a different currency unless so requested at the option of the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.3.3(A); or

(d)           any assignment of a Eurocurrency Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 8.7(b);

including any net loss or expense arising from (x) the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan and (y) fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract.  The Company shall also pay (or cause the applicable Subsidiary Borrower to pay) any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 8.4, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable

73

amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in fact so funded.

8.5          Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices.  Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Eurocurrency Loan by causing a domestic or foreign branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that in such event, for purposes of this Agreement, such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or affiliate.

8.6          Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for  purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurocurrency Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period.

8.7          Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)           Each Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by a Borrower to pay to any Lender or Governmental Authority any amount pursuant to Section 7.7 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstance of the nature described in Section 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent).  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the applicable Borrower of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.  Notwithstanding any provision of Section 7.7 or 8.1, no Lender shall be entitled to request payment of any amount pursuant to either such Section unless such amount is proportionate to the amounts that such Lender is generally requesting from similarly situated borrowers or account parties for similar additional costs or losses suffered in connection with substantially similar credit facilities.

(b)           Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 8.1, or has given notice of the occurrence of a circumstance described in Section 8.3, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 7.7, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with the foregoing clause (a), the Company may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 15.10.

8.8          Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions.  Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 shall be conclusive absent

74

demonstrable error.  Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 8.1 and 8.4, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loans cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 9          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder, the Parent and the Company on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries (and to the extent applicable thereto, each Subsidiary Borrower for itself) represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

9.1          Organization, etc.

(a)           Each Loan Party and each other Material Foreign Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and, if applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; and (except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) each of the Parent and each Subsidiary (i) is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary and (ii) has full power and authority to own its property and conduct its business as presently conducted by it.

9.2          Authorization; No Conflict.  The execution and delivery by each of the Parent and each Borrower of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, the borrowings hereunder, the execution and delivery by each other Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party, the performance by each Loan Party of its obligations under each Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party are within the organizational powers of such Loan Party, have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on the part of such Loan Party (including any necessary shareholder, partner or member action), have received all necessary governmental approval (if any shall be required), and do not and will not (a) violate any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, injunction, decree or judgment of any court or other government agency which is binding on any Loan Party, (b) contravene or conflict with, or result in a breach of, (i) any provision of the certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, by-laws or other organizational documents of such Loan Party or (ii) any material loan or credit agreement, indenture, or other material instrument or document which is binding on such Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or any property of any of the foregoing or (c) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary (other than Liens arising under the Loan Documents).

9.3          Validity and Binding Nature.

(a)           Each Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to (i)

75

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity and (iii) the Legal Reservation.

(b)           Subject to the Legal Reservation, the choice of governing law provisions contained in this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any UK Loan Party is party are enforceable in England.  Subject to the Legal Reservation, any judgment obtained in connection with any Loan Document will be recognized and be enforceable in England.

(c)           Subject to the Legal Reservation, it is not necessary to ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in evidence of any Loan Document to which a UK Loan Party is a party that such Loan Document be filed, registered or recorded with, or executed or notarized before, any court or other authority in England and Wales or that any registration charge or stamp or similar Tax be paid on or in respect of such Loan Document or any related document, except for any such filing, registration, recording, execution or notarization that is not required to be made until enforcement of the applicable Loan Document or that is required under the United Kingdom’s Companies Act 2006.

9.4          Financial Condition.  (a) The audited consolidated financial statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2015, copies of which have been delivered to each Lender, were prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at such date and the results of their operations for the period then ended and (b) the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2016, copies of which have been delivered to each Lender, were prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject, in the case of such unaudited statements, to the absence of footnotes and other informational disclosures customarily omitted from interim financial statements and to normal year-end adjustments) and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at such date and the results of their operations for the period then ended.

9.5          No Material Adverse Change.  Since December 31, 2015, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, or financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

9.6          Litigation.  No litigation (including derivative actions), arbitration proceeding, labor controversy or governmental investigation or proceeding is pending or, to the Parent’s or any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in writing against the Parent or any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule 9.6.

9.7          Ownership of Properties; Liens.  Each of the Parent and each Subsidiary owns good and, in the case of real property, marketable title to all of its properties and assets, real and personal, tangible and intangible, of any nature whatsoever, in each case necessary for the conduct of its business (including patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights), except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The property of the Parent and each Subsidiary is owned free and clear of all Liens, charges and material claims (including material infringement claims that are pending or, to the knowledge of

76

the Parent or any Subsidiary, threatened with respect to patents, trademarks, copyrights and the like) except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.8.

9.8          Subsidiaries.  As of the date hereof, the Parent has no Subsidiaries except those listed in Schedule 9.8; and the Parent has no direct Subsidiary other than the Company.

9.9          Employee Benefit Plans.
