Administrative Agent agrees to exercise good faith in the administration of this clause (b) in a manner, as applied to Borrowers, that is not materially different from the manner in which Administrative Agent is then administering the application of similar provisions under other, similar credit facilities with similarly-situated customers of Administrative Agent.

Section 1.08 Timing of Payment and Performance. When the payment of any obligations or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period” herein) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

For the avoidance of doubt, if Holdings has made an LCA Election and (x) any of the ratios or “baskets” for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or “basket” (including due to fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such “baskets” or ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder and (y) in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or “basket” availability on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, (A) any such ratio or “basket” availability shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof (but without netting the cash proceeds thereof)) had been consummated and (B) solely in connection with the calculation of any ratio or “basket” availability with respect to the making of Restricted Junior Payments, any such ratio or “basket” availability shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof (but without netting the cash proceeds thereof)) had not been consummated. For the further avoidance of doubt, in the absence of an LCA Election, unless specifically stated in this Agreement to be otherwise, all determinations of (x) compliance with any financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test) and/or any cap expressed as a percentage of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, (y) any representation and warranties, or any requirement regarding the absence of a Default or Event of Default (or any type of Default or Event of Default) or (z) any availability test under any “baskets” shall be made as of the applicable date of the consummation of the Specified Transaction.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of this Agreement that requires compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, any Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Incurrence-Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that the Fixed Amounts (and any cash proceeds thereof and any concurrent borrowing under a revolving facility, including a Borrowing consisting of Incremental Revolving Loans) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence-Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not, without the prior consent of all Lenders, make (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to prohibit the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, as applicable, from making) any Revolving Loans or provide any Letters of Credit to the Borrowers on behalf of Lenders intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, or Letters of Credit would either (i) cause the aggregate amount of the Revolving Exposure to exceed the Aggregate Borrowing Base or (ii) be made when one or more of the other conditions precedent to the making of Loans hereunder cannot be satisfied (or waived in accordance herewith) except, that, Administrative Agent may make (or cause to be made) such additional Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or provide such additional Letters of Credit on behalf of the Lenders (each an “Overadvance” and collectively, the “Overadvances”), intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Loans or Letters of Credit will be made without the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent, if the Administrative Agent deems it necessary or advisable in its discretion to do so to, including, without limitation, (1) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies of the Loan Parties, (2) pay property taxes and other taxes, assessments and special assessments, levies, fees and all governmental charges imposed upon or assessed against, and all claims (including, without limitation, landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law) against, all or any portion of the Collateral, (3) make repairs, (4) discharge Liens, (5) pay or perform any obligations of any Loan Party under any Collateral or (6) take any other action to protect or preserve the value of any Collateral, provided, that: (x) the total principal amount outstanding at any time of the Overadvances to the Borrowers which the Administrative Agent may make or provide (or cause to be made or provided) after obtaining such actual knowledge that the conditions precedent have not been satisfied, shall not exceed the amount equal to 10% of the Revolving Commitments and shall not cause the total Revolving Exposure to exceed the Revolving Commitments of all of the Lenders; (y) without the consent of all Lenders, (i) no Overadvance shall be outstanding for more than sixty (60) days and (ii) after all Overadvances have been repaid, the Administrative Agent shall not make any additional Overadvance unless sixty (60) days or more have elapsed since the last date on which any Overadvance was outstanding; and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds, on demand from the Borrowers together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent at the interest rate provided for in Section 2.06(c). Each Lender shall be obligated to pay the Administrative Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Percentage of any such Overadvance provided that the Administrative Agent is acting in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.01(c). For the avoidance of doubt, no Overadvance shall, in and of itself, constitute a Default or Event of Default for as long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.01.

(d) Borrowers and Guarantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Collateral Agent and its field examiners and appraisers, reasonably acceptable to it, sufficient access and information (as reasonably requested) to complete a field examinations, of the business, assets, and properties of Borrowers, and an appraisal of the Inventory of Borrowers, in each case on or before the 90th day after the Closing Date (or such later date up to 120 days after the Closing Date as may be agreed by the Collateral Agent (“Later Agreed Date”)) and the Borrowers and the Guarantors agree to cooperate in good faith to cause such field examination and appraisal with respect to business and assets of Borrowers to be completed as soon as practicable (giving due regard to the operational demands of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, taken as a whole). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, if the Collateral Agent has not received such appraisal and final report from the field examination of the Australian Borrowing Base, the Dutch Borrowing Base or the U.S. Borrowing Base, as applicable, on or prior to the 90th day after the Closing Date (or any Later Agreed Date), then as to such Borrowing Base in respect of which such appraisal and/or field examination has not been so provided, such Borrowing Base shall be zero (0) until the Collateral Agent’s receipt and reasonable opportunity to review the results of such appraisal and final report from the field examination.

Section 2.02 Loans.

(a) Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make its Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans made pursuant to Section 2.17 and Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(i) and (ii), (x) ABR Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments and (y) Eurodollar Revolving Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, (i) each Borrowing of Dollar Denominated Loans shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans as the Borrowers may request pursuant to Section 2.03; and (ii) each Borrowing of Euro Denominated Loans shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Revolving Loans. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Revolving Loan or any ABR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than twelve (12) Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Except with respect to Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.18(e)(ii), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to a U.S. account of the applicable Borrower as directed by the Administrative Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request maintained with the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent at the time of such Borrowing in accordance with clause (c) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing; and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity Date, as applicable.

Section 2.03 Borrowing Procedure.

(a) To request Loans, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopier (or e-mail), a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of Eurodollar Revolving Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing; (ii) in the case of Euro Denominated Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing; or (iii) in the case of ABR Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that for Loans to be made on the Closing Date, such Borrowing Request may be delivered to the Administrative Agent one Business Day prior to the Closing Date. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) whether the requested borrowing is to be a borrowing of U.S. Revolving Loans, Australian Revolving Loans or Dutch Revolving Loans;

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of such borrowing;

(iii) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iv) in the case of Dollar Denominated Loans, whether such borrowing is to be for ABR Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Loans;

(v) in the case of Eurodollar Revolving Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;

(vi) the Borrower requesting such borrowing and the location and number of such Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02(c);

(vii) that the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(b)-(d) have been or shall be satisfied as of the proposed date of the borrowing, as applicable; and

(viii) the Approved Currency for such borrowing.

If no election as to the Type of Loans is specified, then the requested borrowing shall be for ABR Loans in dollars. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Loan, then the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

(b) Appointment of Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Administrative Borrower as its agent to request and receive Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement in the name or on behalf of such Borrower. The Administrative Agent and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank account of the Administrative Borrower or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower and provide such Letters of Credit to a Borrower, in each case, as the Administrative Borrower may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower or Guarantor. The Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by the Borrowers to act as the agent of the Borrowers and agrees to ensure that the disbursement of any Loans to a Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of such Borrower, or the issuance of any Letter of Credit for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid to or for the account of such Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Administrative Borrower as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any other Borrower by the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if made directly by such Borrower. No purported termination of the appointment of the Administrative Borrower as agent as aforesaid shall be effective, except after five (5) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion).

Section 2.04 Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a) Promise to Repay. Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises, jointly and severally, to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Maturity Date; and (ii) to the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the first Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two (2) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested. All payments or repayments of Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be made in the Approved Currency in which such Loan is denominated.

(b) Lender and Administrative Agent Records. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records including (i) the amount and Approved Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Type and Class thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder; and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender pursuant to this clause (b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Promissory Notes. Any Lender by reasonable prior written notice to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in the form of Exhibit K-1 or K-2, as the case may be. Thereafter, to the extent the applicable Lender shall so request, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). If any Lender (and/or its applicable permitted assign) loses the original copy of its promissory note, it shall execute an affidavit of loss containing a customary indemnification provision that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Borrower.

Section 2.05 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Fee per annum on the average daily unused amount of each Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first calendar day of January, April, July and October of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; and (B) on the date on which such Commitment terminates (pro-rated for the number of days elapsed in such month). Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing Commitment Fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure during such period of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

(c) LC and Fronting Fees. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee (“LC Participation Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06 on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure; and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee (“Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to Reimbursement Obligations) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s reasonable and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be payable in arrears (x) on the first calendar day of January, April, July and October of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; and (y) on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. Any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this clause (c) shall be payable within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. All LC Participation Fees and Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

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

Section 2.06 Interest on Loans.

(a) ABR Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Eurodollar Revolving Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a Specified Event of Default that is continuing, the Obligations payable by the Borrowers that are past due shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue amounts constituting principal on any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.06; or (ii) in the case of any other outstanding and overdue amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.06(a) (in either case, the “Default Rate”).

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.06(c) shall be payable on demand; (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan without a permanent reduction in Revolving Commitments), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment; and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) Interest Calculation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Currency for Payment of Interest. All interest paid or payable pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall be paid in the Approved Currency in which the Loan giving rise to such interest is denominated.

Section 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Termination of Commitments. The Revolving Commitments, the Swingline Commitment and the LC Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b) Optional Terminations and Reductions. At their option, the Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, without premiums or penalty, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate amount of Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments.

(c) Borrower Notice. The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) or in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.07(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree), specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of a debt issuance, the closing of a securities offering or another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Administrative Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

Section 2.08 Interest Elections.

(a) Generally. Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. Borrowings consisting of Euro Denominated Loans may not be converted to a different Type. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than twelve (12) Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any one time. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) Interest Election Notice. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopier (or e-mail), a duly completed and executed Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting Loans of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing;

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

(v) the Approved Currency of such Borrowing.

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

Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(c) Automatic Conversion to ABR Borrowing. If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by prior written notice to the Borrowers, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto; and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.10 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.10; provided that each partial optional prepayment under this Section 2.10(a) shall be (i) in the case of a partial optional prepayment of ABR Borrowings, in an amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $1,000,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a partial optional prepayment of Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings, in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing.

(b) Revolving Loan Prepayments.

(i) In the event of the termination of all the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all of their outstanding Revolving Borrowings and all outstanding Swingline Loans and replace all outstanding Letters of Credit or provide Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit.

(ii) In the event of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments, then (x) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders of the sum of the Revolving Exposures after giving effect thereto and (y) if the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, then the Borrowers shall, on the date of such reduction, first, repay or prepay Swingline Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings and third, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or provide Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit, in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(iii) In the event that the sum of all Lenders’ Revolving Exposures exceeds the Revolving Commitments then in effect (including on any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 10.17), the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately first, repay or prepay Swingline Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings, and third, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or provide Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit, in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(iv) In the event that the sum of all Lenders’ Revolving Exposures exceeds the Borrowing Base then in effect, (including on any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 10.17), the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately first, repay or prepay Swingline Loans, second, repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings, and third, replace outstanding Letters of Credit or provide Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit, in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess; provided that to the extent such excess results solely by reason of a change in Reserves or in exchange rates, no repayment, replacement or cash collateralization shall be required until such excess remains outstanding for five (5) consecutive Business Days.

(v) In the event that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Commitment then in effect (including on any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 10.17), the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately replace outstanding Letters of Credit or provide Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit, in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(vi) In the event that the aggregate Swingline Exposure exceeds the Swingline Commitment then in effect (including on any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 10.17), the Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay or prepay Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(vii) In the event that Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries receive net cash proceeds in connection with an Asset Sale or an insurance or condemnation award and such net cash proceeds constitute proceeds of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, then within three (3) Business Days following receipt of such proceeds, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans (without a corresponding reduction of the Revolving Commitments) in an amount equal to such net cash proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, such net cash proceeds received by Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries from the Alkali Sale shall not require a prepayment pursuant to this clause (vii).

(c) Application of Prepayments. Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment hereunder, the Administrative Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(d), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.10(c). Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.10 to the prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding ABR Revolving Loans, and, second, any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.10 shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding (an “Excess Amount”), only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of the Borrowers, the Excess Amount shall be either (A) deposited in an escrow account on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and applied to the prepayment of Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for Eurodollar Revolving Loans; provided that (i) interest in respect of such Excess Amount shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate provided hereunder for the Loans which such Excess Amount is intended to repay until such Excess Amount shall have been used in full to repay such Loans; and (ii) at any time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon written direction from the Required Lenders shall, apply any or all proceeds then on deposit to the payment of such Loans in an amount equal to such Excess Amount or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 2.13. Any mandatory prepayment shall be made without reduction to the Revolving Commitments.

(d) Notice of Prepayment. The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by written notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment; (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing consisting of Euro Denominated Loans, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, four (4) Business Days before the date of prepayment; (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment; and (iv) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of another debt issuance or the closing of a securities offering or other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Administrative Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.10. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06.

Section 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be prima facie evidence of the facts so determined) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period or that euros are not available to the Lenders in sufficient amounts to fund any Borrowing consisting of Euro Denominated Loans; or

(b) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines or is advised in writing by the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as a Market Disruption Loan; (ii) any Borrowing that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be continued as a Market Disruption Loan; (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to a Market Disruption Loan; and (iv) Borrowing Requests for Euro Denominated Loans shall not be effective; provided that in each of the foregoing, except to the extent the Borrowers in their sole discretion elect to have any such Borrowing be made as, or converted into, an ABR Loan.

Section 2.12 Yield Protection.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.15 and Section 2.24 (which shall be controlling with respect to Indemnified Taxes addressed therein), 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 or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in, by any Lender or the Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes and the imposition of, or in any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other recipient); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Revolving Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (other than as previously specified above);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Revolving Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, 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 the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon written request of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered, in each case in accordance with Section 2.12(c).

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital, liquidity or leverage requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’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 held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered, in each case in accordance with Section 2.12(c).

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) .

Section 2.13 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default); (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto; or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan or earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.16(b), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan); over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the applicable interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five (5) days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.14 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments Generally. The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or Reimbursement Obligations, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.24 or 10.03, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, unless such deduction is required by law. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 100 Park Avenue, 14^th Floor, New York, New York 10017 (or such other account/office as the Administrative Agent may specify to the Borrowers from time to time), except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.24 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars, except for payments with respect to any Euro Denominated Loan or Euro Letter of Credit (which payments shall be made in euros) or except as expressly specified otherwise. Unless payment is otherwise timely made by the Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges) shall be deemed to be a request for ABR Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation.

(b) Pro Rata Treatment.

(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each payment by the Borrowers of interest in respect of the Loans shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(ii) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each payment by the Borrowers on account of principal of the Revolving Borrowings shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders, except as expressly provided in Section 2.20(d).

(c) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties; and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties. It is understood that the foregoing does not apply to any adequate protection payments under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding, and that the Administrative Agent may, subject to any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar orders, distribute any adequate protection payments it receives on behalf of the Lenders to the Lenders in its sole discretion (i.e., whether to pay the earliest accrued interest, all accrued interest on a pro rata basis or otherwise).

(d) Sharing of Set-Off. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Term Loans are outstanding), the terms of any Permitted Securitization Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Securitization is outstanding) or the terms of any Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Secured Indebtedness is outstanding), if any Lender (and/or the Issuing Bank, which shall be deemed a “Lender” for purposes of this Section 2.14(d)) shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact; and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

(e) Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.14(e) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.14(e) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

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

Section 2.15 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the applicable Loan Party shall pay an additional amount so that after all required deductions of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions; and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law. A payment shall not be increased under this Section 2.15(a) by reason of a tax deduction on account of Tax imposed by Switzerland if so required under applicable law (including double tax treaties), to the extent that on the date on which payment falls due, increasing such payment in such way would breach any Swiss law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as reasonably requested by the Administrative 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 requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the above two sentences, in the case of any taxes that are not U.S. federal withholding taxes, the completion, execution and submission of non-U.S. federal forms shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would be legally disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);

(C) 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 Q, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms);

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit Q, Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit Q, on behalf of such beneficial owner(s); or

(E) to the extent a Foreign Lender may lawfully do so, any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law to permit the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form, certification or documentation it previously delivered pursuant to this clause (e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, certifications or documentation, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Lender’s status or that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, or (2) notify Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower in writing of its legal inability to deliver any such forms, certificates, documentation or other evidence.

(iv) Any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or upon the request of the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to backup withholding.

(v) 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 Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to comply with their respective obligations (including any applicable reporting requirements) under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, including any additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party pursuant to this clause (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This clause (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund had never been imposed in the first instance.

(g) Payments. For purposes of this Section 2.15, any payments by the Administrative Agent to a Lender of any amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers on behalf of such Lender shall be treated as a payment from the Borrowers to such Lender.

(h) Issuing Bank. For all purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” shall include the Issuing Bank and the for the avoidance of doubt, the term “applicable Requirements of Law” shall include FATCA.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.16 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.24, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.15 or 2.24, as the case may be, in the future; and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.24, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if the Borrowers exercise their replacement rights under Section 10.02(d), then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrowers shall have paid (or shall have caused to be paid) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 10.04(b);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts;

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.24, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrowers elect to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 2.16(b), it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

Section 2.17 Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.17 and in its discretion, to make Swingline Loans in dollars to the Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding 10% of the Revolving Commitments; or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the lesser of (A) the total Revolving Commitments and (B) the Aggregate Borrowing Base; provided that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopier, a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower to an account as directed by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request maintained with the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.18(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. The Borrowers shall not request a Swingline Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to the Extension of Credit contemplated by such request a Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 above such amount.

(c) Prepayment. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of prepayment.

(d) Participations. The Swingline Lender may at any time in its discretion, and shall, at the minimum on a weekly basis, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (provided such notice requirement shall not apply if the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same entity) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day following such notice require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (so long as such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment). Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this clause (d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired by the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.17(d), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrowers (or other party on behalf of any Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.17(d), as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.18 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of Borrowers made in accordance herewith, and prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, Issuing Bank agrees to issue a requested standby Letter of Credit or a sight commercial Letter of Credit for the account of Borrowers, provided that Goldman Sachs Bank USA shall have no obligation to issue commercial Letters of Credit hereunder. By submitting a request to Issuing Bank for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that Issuing Bank issue the requested Letter of Credit. Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be (i) irrevocable and made in writing by a Responsible Officer, (ii) delivered to the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank via telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank and reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, and (iii) subject to Issuing Bank’s authentication procedures with results satisfactory to Issuing Bank. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank and (i) shall specify (A) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (E) such other information (including, the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit, and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Issuer Documents as the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank may request or require, to the extent that such requests or requirements are consistent with the Issuer Documents that Issuing Bank generally requests for Letters of Credit in similar circumstances. Issuing Bank’s records of the content of any such request will be conclusive. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Issuing Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, issue a Letter of Credit that supports the obligations of a Loan Party or one of its Subsidiaries in respect of (x) a lease of real property to the extent that the face amount of such Letter of Credit exceeds the highest rent (including all rent-like charges) payable under such lease for a period of one year, or (y) an employment contract to the extent that the face amount of such Letter of Credit exceeds the highest compensation payable under such contract for a period of one year.

(b) Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested issuance:

(i) the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment, or

(ii) the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank would exceed the Individual LC Commitment for such Issuing Bank, or

(iii) the LC Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Commitments less the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans), or

(iv) the LC Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Borrowing Base at such time less the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans (inclusive of Swingline Loans) at such time.

100

(c) In the event there is a Defaulting Lender as of the date of any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue or arrange for such Letter of Credit to the extent (i) the Defaulting Lender’s Individual LC Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit may not be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.19(b), or (ii) Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and Borrowers to eliminate Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in such Letter of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, which arrangements may include Borrowers cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Individual LC Exposure in accordance with Section 2.19(b). Additionally, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue or extend a Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Issuing Bank shall prohibit or request that Issuing Bank refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, or (C) if amounts demanded to be paid under any Letter of Credit will not or may not be in an Approved Currency.

(d) Any Issuing Bank (other than Wells Fargo Bank, National Association or any of its Affiliates) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing no later than the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues any Letter of Credit. In addition, each Issuing Bank (other than Wells Fargo Bank, National Association or any of its Affiliates) shall, on the first Business Day of each week, submit to the Administrative Agent a report detailing the daily undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the prior calendar week. Borrowers and the Lender Group hereby acknowledge and agree that all Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with the same effect as if such Existing Letters of Credit were issued by Issuing Bank at the request of Borrowers on the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in an Approved Currency or the Dollar Equivalent thereof. If Issuing Bank makes a payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the Business Day such LC Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the LC Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans. If an LC Disbursement is deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder, Borrowers’ obligation to pay the amount of such LC Disbursement to Issuing Bank shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting Revolving Loan. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.18(e) to reimburse Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and Issuing Bank as their interests may appear

101

(e) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.18(d), each Lender agrees to fund its Applicable Percentage of any Revolving Loan deemed made pursuant to Section 2.18(d) on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested the amount thereof as a Revolving Loan and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of Issuing Bank or the Lenders, Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of such Letter of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any LC Disbursement made by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.18(d), or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 4.02. If any such Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of an LC Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and the Administrative Agent (for the account of Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

(f) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Secured Party (including Issuing Bank and its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including Issuing Bank, a “Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.15) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Issuer Document, or any Drawing Document referred to in or related to any Letter of Credit, or any action or proceeding arising out of any of the foregoing (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration); in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence; provided, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

(g) The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrowers that are caused directly by Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. Borrowers’ aggregate remedies against Issuing Bank and any Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by Borrowers to Issuing Bank in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 2.18(d), plus interest at the rate then applicable to ABR Loans hereunder. Borrowers shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Issuing Bank or any other Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. Any claim by Borrowers under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by Borrowers as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of, and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had Borrowers taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Issuing Bank to effect a cure.

102

(h) Borrowers are responsible for the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrowers. Borrowers understand that the final form of any Letter of Credit may be subject to such revisions and changes as are deemed necessary or appropriate by Issuing Bank, and Borrowers hereby consent to such revisions and changes not materially different from the application executed in connection therewith. Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrowers’ purposes. If Borrowers request Issuing Bank to issue a Letter of Credit for an affiliated or unaffiliated third party (an “Account Party”), (i) such Account Party shall have no rights against Issuing Bank; (ii) Borrowers shall be responsible for the application and obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) communications (including notices) related to the respective Letter of Credit shall be among Issuing Bank and Borrowers. Borrowers will examine the copy of the Letter of Credit and any other documents sent by Issuing Bank in connection therewith and shall promptly notify Issuing Bank (not later than three (3) Business Days following Borrowers’ receipt of documents from Issuing Bank) of any non-compliance with Borrowers’ instructions and of any discrepancy in any document under any presentment or other irregularity. Borrowers understand and agree that Issuing Bank is not required to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit for any reason. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrowers do not at any time want the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit to be extended, Borrowers will so notify the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank at least 30 calendar days before Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such non-extension pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(i) Borrowers’ reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 2.18 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever; provided, that subject to Section 2.18(g) above, the foregoing shall not release Issuing Bank from such liability to Borrowers as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against Issuing Bank following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of Borrowers to Issuing Bank arising under, or in connection with, this Section 2.18 or any Letter of Credit.

(j) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Issuing Bank and each other Letter of Credit Related Person (if applicable) shall not be responsible to Borrowers for, and Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against Borrowers and the obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall not be impaired by:

(i) honor of a presentation under any Letter of Credit that on its face substantially complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, even if the Letter of Credit requires strict compliance by the beneficiary;

103

(ii) honor of a presentation of any Drawing Document that appears on its face to have been signed, presented or issued (A) by any purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other Person required to sign, present or issue such Drawing Document or (B) under a new name of the beneficiary;

(iii) acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft or notwithstanding any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit;

(iv) the identity or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Drawing Document (other than Issuing Bank’s determination that such Drawing Document appears on its face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit);

(v) acting upon any instruction or request relative to a Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit that Issuing Bank in good faith believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request;

(vi) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document (regardless of how sent or transmitted) or for errors in interpretation of technical terms or in translation or any delay in giving or failing to give notice to any Borrower;

(vii) any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the insolvency of, any beneficiary, any nominated person or entity or any other Person or any breach of contract between any beneficiary and any Borrower or any of the parties to the underlying transaction to which the Letter of Credit relates;

(viii) assertion or waiver of any provision of the ISP or UCP that primarily benefits an issuer of a letter of credit, including any requirement that any Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or place;

(ix) payment to any presenting bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to reimbursement or indemnity under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to it;

(x) acting or failing to act as required or permitted under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to where Issuing Bank has issued, confirmed, advised or negotiated such Letter of Credit, as the case may be;

(xi) honor of a presentation after the expiration date of any Letter of Credit notwithstanding that a presentation was made prior to such expiration date and dishonored by Issuing Bank if subsequently Issuing Bank or any court or other finder of fact determines such presentation should have been honored;

(xii) dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not entitled to honor; or

104

(xiii) honor of a presentation that is subsequently determined by Issuing Bank to have been made in violation of international, federal, state or local restrictions on the transaction of business with certain prohibited Persons.

(k) [Intentionally omitted.]

(l) If by reason of (x) any Change in Law, or (y) compliance by Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority, including Regulation D:

(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or hereby, or any Loans or obligations to make Loans hereunder or hereby, or

(ii) there shall be imposed on Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit, Loans, or obligations to make Loans hereunder,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, the Administrative Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrowers, and Borrowers shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as the Administrative Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to ABR Loans hereunder; provided, that (A) Borrowers shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.18(l) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to Borrowers, and (B) if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by the Administrative Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.18(l), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

(m) Each Standby Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the date that is 12 months after the date of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit; provided, that any Standby Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof or be extended by amendment for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration; provided further, that with respect to any Letter of Credit which extends beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, Letter of Credit Collateralization shall be provided therefor on or before the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date. Each Commercial Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (i) 120 days after the date of the issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit and (ii) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

(n) If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, or (ii) Borrowing Availability shall at any time be less than zero, then on the Business Day following the date when the Administrative Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, Lenders with Individual LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding Letter of Credit Collateralization pursuant to this Section 2.18(n) upon such demand, Borrowers shall provide Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to the then existing LC Usage. If Borrowers are required to provide Letter of Credit Collateralization hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, any cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent as a result of such Letter of Credit Collateralization shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to Borrowers promptly, but in no event later than seven Business Days, after such Event of Default has been waived in accordance with this Agreement. If Borrowers fail to provide Letter of Credit Collateralization as required by this Section 2.18(n), the Lenders may (and, upon direction of the Administrative Agent, shall) advance, as Revolving Loans the amount of the cash collateral required pursuant to the Letter of Credit Collateralization provision so that the then existing Letter of Credit Usage is cash collateralized in accordance with the Letter of Credit Collateralization provision (whether or not the Revolver Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 4.02 are satisfied).

105

(o) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Issuing Bank and Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit.

(p) Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement.

(q) In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.18 and any provision contained in any Issuer Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.18 shall control and govern.

(r) The provisions of this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of the Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

(s) At Borrowers’ cost and expense, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Issuing Bank such additional certificates, instruments and/or documents and take such additional action as may be reasonably requested by Issuing Bank to enable Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and related Issuer Document, to protect, exercise and/or enforce Issuing Banks’ rights and interests under this Agreement or to give effect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Issuer Document. Each Borrower irrevocably appoints Issuing Bank as its attorney-in-fact and authorizes Issuing Bank, without notice to Borrowers, to execute and deliver ancillary documents and letters customary in the letter of credit business that may include but are not limited to advisements, indemnities, checks, bills of exchange and issuance documents. The power of attorney granted by the Borrowers is limited solely to such actions related to the issuance, confirmation or amendment of any Letter of Credit and to ancillary documents or letters customary in the letter of credit business. This appointment is coupled with an interest.

(t) The Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more additional Revolving Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and such Revolving Lender(s). Any Revolving Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this clause (t) shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by it, and all references in the Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Revolving Lender in its capacity as the Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such additional Issuing Bank. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Borrowers may, in their discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit, and the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Borrowers shall mutually agree to re-set the Individual LC Commitments for each Issuing Bank pursuant to a written letter agreement.

106

(u) The Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Administrative Borrower, each Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement of the Issuing Bank shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the retiring or replaced Issuing Bank, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.05(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement, as applicable, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter; and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Euro Letter of Credit, the related LC Exposure, the related Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers, any reimbursement obligation of any Revolving Lender pursuant hereto, any other obligation owed by or to any Revolving Lender, and any LC Participation Fee or Fronting Fee owed pursuant to Section 2.05(c) shall be calculated and due solely in dollars. The exchange rate for conversion into dollars utilized shall be the Dollar Equivalent of euros as reasonably determined by the Issuing Bank in consultation with the Administrative Agent based on the rate at which the Issuing Bank could convert or has converted any euros into dollars taking into account all transaction costs. Any such exchange rate shall be updated at intervals reasonably determined by the Issuing Bank after consultation with the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.19 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) the Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender (except to the extent it is payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to clause (c)(v) below);

(b) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

107

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, provide Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the LC Participation Fee with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure so long as it is cash collateralized;

(iv) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the LC Participation Fee with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages; or

(v) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.19(b), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, the Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and the LC Participation Fee payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(c) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.19(b), and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(d) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(d) but excluding Section 2.16(b)) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit 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; (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement; (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations; and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

108

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Borrower, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 2.19 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

Section 2.20 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Borrower Request. The Borrowers (or any of them) may by written notice from the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent elect in their sole discretion to request prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, (I) to add an additional Class of Commitments (each an “Additional Incremental Class”) or (II) to increase to the existing Commitments (each an “Increased Incremental Class”; and any such Additional Incremental Class or Increased Incremental Class, an “Incremental Revolving Facility”; and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans”), in an amount not in excess of $250,000,000 in the aggregate and in an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 individually. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which the Borrowers propose that the increased or new Commitments shall be effective (which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent) and (ii) the identity of each Person (which shall not be a Loan Party or a natural person, and which otherwise meet the criteria set forth in the definition of “Eligible Assignee”) to whom the Borrowers propose any portion of such increased or new Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the increased or new Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall any Incremental Revolving Loans be in the form of a pari passu term loan.

(b) Conditions. The increased or new Commitments shall become effective, as of such Incremental Effective Date; provided that:

(i) the representations and warranties under Article III shall be true in all material respects with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date; provided that, solely with respect to Incremental Revolving Loans that are used to effect or finance a Permitted Acquisition or Investments permitted under this Agreement, the Borrowers shall have the option of making any representations and warranties under Article III (other than any customary “specified representations”) and determinations as to the availability of any “basket-carveouts” under Article VII effective as of the date of entering the definitive agreement for such Permitted Acquisition or such Investment in accordance with the Limited Condition Transaction provisions set forth in Section 1.09;

109

(ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Incremental Effective Date;

(iii) the Borrowers shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.13 in connection with any adjustment of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.20(d);

(iv) the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other customary documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction;

(v) if not already permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement and to the extent necessary, the Intercreditor Agreement shall have been amended, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to reflect an increase in the maximum principal amount of the aggregate commitments, loans or letters of credit included in the Revolving Loan Debt (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) under Section 10.4(b)(i) of the Intercreditor Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of the increased or new Commitments; and

(vi) if the Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion upon the advice of counsel that the same is required by, or advisable under, applicable Requirements of Law, the Borrowers and Guarantors shall enter into any security documents, amendments, confirmations, reaffirmations or other agreements to maintain the Collateral Agent’s fully perfected First Priority Lien on the Collateral, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Term Loans are outstanding), the terms of any Permitted Securitization Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Securitization is outstanding) or the terms of any Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Secured Indebtedness is outstanding).

(c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and provisions of the Increased Incremental Class made pursuant to the new Commitments shall be identical to the Revolving Loans (it being understood and agreed that the Borrowers may, at their option, pay customary arrangement and upfront fees (or similar fees) in connection with the increased Commitments); provided that the terms of any Incremental Revolving Facility established as an Additional Incremental Class shall be identical to the terms applicable to any then-existing Class except that any Additional Incremental Class may, subject to a Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), rank junior in right of payment and/or in priority with respect to proceeds of Collateral to any then-existing Class of Revolving Loans and may be pursuant to different terms and conditions than the existing Revolving Loans. The increased or new Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Incremental Joinder”) executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased or new Commitment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each of them. The Incremental Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Revolving Loans made pursuant to new Commitments made pursuant to this Agreement.

110

(d) Adjustment of Revolving Loans. To the extent the Commitments being increased on the relevant Incremental Effective Date are Revolving Commitments, then each Revolving Lender that is acquiring a new or additional Revolving Commitment on the Incremental Effective Date shall make a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders immediately prior to such Incremental Effective Date, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans outstanding are held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata based on their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such Incremental Effective Date. If there is a new borrowing of Revolving Loans on such Incremental Effective Date, the Revolving Lenders after giving effect to such Incremental Effective Date shall make such Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.01(b).

(e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Security Documents. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Commitments.

Section 2.22 Accounts; Cash Management.

(a) Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall maintain a cash management system which is reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent (the “Cash Management System”), which shall operate as provided in this Section 2.22; provided that the Cash Management System with respect to accounts located in the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia in place on the Closing Date shall be deemed reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent.

127

(c) The Borrowers shall establish and maintain, and shall cause each Guarantor to establish and maintain, at its sole expense, deposit accounts subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent and a Control Agreement over such account maintained by the financial institutions as described on Schedule 2.22(b) hereto or with such other banks as are acceptable to the Collateral Agent (in each case, “Controlled Accounts”), and which shall not be subject to cash pooling or other similar arrangements with any entity that is not a Loan Party and shall not be subject to cash pooling or other similar arrangements with any entity organized in a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction of the United States (with respect to Controlled Accounts of any Loan Party that is a U.S. Entity), Australia (with respect to Controlled Accounts of any Australian Loan Party) or the Netherlands (with respect to Controlled Accounts of any Dutch Loan Party), into which the Borrowers and Guarantors shall promptly deposit and use commercially reasonable efforts to direct their respective Account Debtors to directly remit all payments on Accounts and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Revolving Loan Priority Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner and shall be identified and segregated from all other funds of the Loan Parties; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all payments on Accounts owned by any Dutch Loan Party and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Revolving Loan Priority Collateral owned by any Dutch Loan Party shall be deposited into accounts and related lockboxes maintained by the Collateral Agent or another bank acceptable to the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall be permitted to fund deposit accounts owned by a UK Financing Subsidiary which are subject to a first priority security interest and Control Agreements in favor of the Collateral Agent in such amounts as the Administrative Borrower reasonably deems necessary; provided that the aggregate amount of funds on deposit in deposit accounts owned by a UK Financing Subsidiary shall not exceed amounts payable by such UK Financing Subsidiary in the (ten) 10 Business Day (or longer with the consent of the Administrative Agent) period following the date of such funding. If the Loan Parties elect to fund such accounts for a period longer than ten (10) Business Days with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the estimated amount of such funding and the Administrative Agent may establish a UK Finance Reserve. The Borrowers and Guarantors shall cause (i) all of the deposit accounts, securities accounts and commodity accounts of the Loan Parties set forth on Schedule 2.22(b) (and each account in substitution or replacement therefor) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include Excluded Accounts) and (ii) each other deposit account, securities account and commodity account of any Loan Party formed or established after the Closing Date (other than Excluded Accounts) to be subject to Control Agreements and shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Collateral Agent a Control Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where such account is maintained; provided that Control Agreements shall not be required prior to the Control Agreement Effective Date. The Borrowers and Guarantors shall not establish any deposit accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) after the Closing Date into which proceeds of Collateral are deposited, unless such Borrower or such Guarantor has complied in full with the applicable provisions of this Section 2.22(c) with respect to such deposit accounts. The Borrowers agree that, from and after the delivery of an Activation Notice and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Term Loans are outstanding), the terms of any Permitted Securitization Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Securitization is outstanding) or the terms of any Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Secured Indebtedness is outstanding), all payments made to such Controlled Accounts or other funds received and collected by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, whether in respect of the Accounts or as proceeds of Inventory shall be treated as payments to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Lenders in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and Lenders to the extent of the then outstanding applicable Obligations.

128

(d) The applicable bank at which any Controlled Accounts are maintained shall agree, from and after the receipt of a notice (an “Activation Notice”) from the Collateral Agent (which Activation Notice may, or upon instruction of the Required Lenders, shall, be given by the Collateral Agent at any time during a Cash Dominion Period) pursuant to the applicable Control Agreement, to forward, daily, all amounts in each Controlled Account to the account with the Collateral Agent (or a financial institution acceptable to the Collateral Agent) designated as the collection account (the “Collection Account”) which shall be under the exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Agent and which shall not be subject to cash pooling or other similar arrangements. For the avoidance of doubt, provisions of this Section 2.22(d) do not apply to Excluded Accounts.

(e) From and after the delivery of an Activation Notice, with respect to all affected Controlled Accounts, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Term Loans are outstanding), the terms of any Permitted Securitization Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Securitization is outstanding) or the terms of any Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Secured Indebtedness is outstanding), the Collateral Agent shall apply all such funds in the Collection Account on a daily basis to the repayment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, after payment in full has been made of the amounts required under Section 8.02, upon the Administrative Borrower’s request and as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, so long as the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Lenders is greater than zero, all other conditions precedent to a Borrowing have been satisfied, any additional funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be released to the Borrowers.

(f) The Loan Parties shall promptly deposit (or cause the same to be deposited) any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or Inventory of the Loan Parties which come into their possession or under their control in the applicable Controlled Accounts, or remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted), in kind, to the Collateral Agent. The Borrowers agree to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Controlled Account is established or any other bank or Person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Controlled Accounts arising out of the Collateral Agent’s payments to or indemnification of such bank or Person.

(g) The Borrowers or the Administrative Borrower shall set up deposit accounts in the United States, in each case, subject to Control Agreements within the time periods specified in Section 2.22(b), into which proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be disbursed by the Administrative Agent and prior to the Control Agreement Effective Date, shall be disbursed as directed by the Administrative Borrower into the accounts of the Borrowers as specified in writing to the Administrative Agent.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged that it may be impractical for a non-U.S. Loan Party to obtain a Control Agreement (or the equivalent) from the bank or depositary that maintains its accounts or it may take longer than agreed to obtain a Control Agreement (or the equivalent) in which event the Administrative Agent will act reasonably in extending the time for obtaining such Control Agreement (or the equivalent). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.22 shall be subject to the Agreed Securities Principles.

129

With respect to any advance under any Loan Document to any Australian Borrower or any other Borrower required to withhold tax in accordance with Australian law (each a “Relevant Borrower” for purposes of this Section 2.24), this Section 2.24 shall apply instead of the provisions of Section 2.15(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (g).

If a Relevant Borrower is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes, or an amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any Lender, the Relevant Borrower (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be required to pay an additional amount to the extent necessary to ensure that such Lender receives a sum equal to the sum that such Lender would have received if no such deduction or withholding (including deductions or withholdings applicable to any additional amounts paid under this Section 2.24(b)) had been made; provided, that this Section 2.24 shall not apply in relation to withholding or deduction from payments:

(i) on account of Taxes on the overall net income of a Lender;

(ii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Lender who is liable to such Taxes by reason of the Lender having some connection with the Commonwealth of Australia other than the mere participation in this agreement;

(iii) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Lender who is liable to such Taxes by reason of the Lender being an Offshore Associate of the Relevant Borrower;

(iv) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Lender who is liable to such Taxes as a result of the representation and warranty given by that Lender in Section 2.23(d) being incorrect;

(v) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Lender who could lawfully avoid (but has not so avoided) such deduction or withholding by complying or procuring that any third party complies with any statutory requirements or by making, or procuring that any third party makes, a declaration of non-residence, entitlement to the benefit of a double tax agreement treaty exemption or any similar claim for exemption;

131

(vi) on account of the Relevant Borrower receiving a direction under section 255 of the Australian Tax Act or section 260-5 of Schedule 1 of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 or any similar law;

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

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

(II) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s lending office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in such jurisdiction,

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

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

(I) is compensated for by the payment of an additional amount under Section 2.24(b); or

(II) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.24(b) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 2.24(b) applied.

(ii) A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 2.24(c)(i) above shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers.

132

(iii) A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the Relevant Borrowers under this Section 2.24(c), notify the Administrative Agent.

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

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

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

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

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

(g) Goods and Services Tax.

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

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

Section 2.25 Dutch Tax Matters With respect to any advance under any Loan Document to any Dutch Borrower or any other Borrower that is required to make a Tax Deduction in accordance with the relevant provisions of Dutch law (each a “Relevant Borrower” for the purposes of this Section 2.25), this Section 2.25 shall apply instead of the provisions of Section 2.15(a), (b) (c) and (f).

(a) Tax Indemnity.

133

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

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

(II) under the law of the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s lending office is located in respect of amounts received or receivable in such jurisdiction,

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

(B) to the extent a loss, liability or cost is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.15(a).

(ii) A Lender making, or intending to make a claim under Section 2.25(a)(i) above shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the event which will give, or has given, rise to the claim, following which the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers.

(iii) A Lender shall, on receiving a payment from the Relevant Borrowers under this Section 2.25(a), notify the Administrative Agent.

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

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

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

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

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

134

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

(A) (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 VAT; and (2) the Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(B) (1) (where the Recipient is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT), the Relevant Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (2) the Recipient must (where this subsection (ii)(B) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply.

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

Section 2.26 Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

(a) Joint and Several Liability. All obligations, liabilities, indemnities, representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrowers hereunder are joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and may be enforced against any Borrower individually, one or more Borrowers collectively or all of the Borrowers collectively.

(b) Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder are, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or a Loan Party (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Borrower hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above (in each case, subject to the terms of the applicable Loan Documents):

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to such Borrower, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, Issuing Bank or any Lender or Agent as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

Each Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever (other than the ones expressly provided for or set forth in the applicable Loan Documents), and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any other Loan Party under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any and all notices of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the joint and several liability of the Borrowers, and the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon the joint and several liability of the Borrowers, in each case, subject to the terms of the applicable Loan Documents.

136

(c) Subrogation; Subordination. Each Borrower hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its joint and several liability hereunder, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any other Borrower of any of the Obligations or any security for any of the Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(b) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.

(d) General Limitation on Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Borrower under Section 2.26(a) would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 2.26(a), then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.26(e)) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

(e) Right of Contribution. Each Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent that another Borrower shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Borrower shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Borrower hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this clause (c) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and each Borrower shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders for the full amount of the Obligations hereunder.

With respect to each such Restricted Subsidiary, Holdings shall promptly send to Administrative Agent written notice setting forth with respect to such Person (x) the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of a Borrower; and (y) to the extent applicable, all of the data required to be set forth in Schedule 3.25 with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary; and such written notice shall be deemed to supplement Schedule 3.25 for all purposes hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, (A) no Loan Party shall be required to grant a security interest in respect of Equity Interests in any South African Subsidiaries; (B) in no event shall any of the Loan Parties be required to make any filings or recordings with intellectual property offices in Asia; and (C) no Lien shall be required to be created pursuant to the operation of this Section 5.10(b) to the extent that the granting of such Lien would result in a violation of applicable Requirements of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.10, other than to the extent such perfection may be achieved through (i) the execution of the Loan Documents or (ii) the filing of a UCC financing statement (or jurisdictional equivalent) or other document with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office, to the extent any Collateral or the grant of a security interest or perfection of such security interest in any Collateral is not provided within the time specified above in this Section 5.10, the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may agree that the perfection of such security interests in such Collateral instead shall be required to be delivered within such additional period after the start of such obligation hereunder as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion.

Section 5.11 Additional Material Real Estate Assets. In the event, and subject to the Agreed Security Principles, that (a) any Material Real Estate Asset acquired by any Loan Party after the Closing Date or (b) any Real Estate Asset owned on the Closing Date becomes a Material Real Estate Asset, other than the Mortgaged Properties, and such interest has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Security Documents in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, then such Loan Party shall promptly take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such mortgages, documents, instruments, agreements, opinions and certificates, including those which are similar to those described in Schedule 5.14 with respect to each such Material Real Estate Asset that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a valid and, subject to any filing and/or recording referred to herein, perfected First Priority security interest in such Material Real Estate Assets; provided that the Collateral Agent and the Borrowers agree to exclude such Material Real Estate Asset from the Collateral and the Borrowers shall not be required to deliver any additional Security Documents if in each case, as reasonably determined by the Collateral Agent in writing, the cost of obtaining or perfecting a security interest is excessive in relation to the benefit afforded to the Lenders thereby or the Term Loan Agent or the Senior Representative determines not to include such Real Estate Assets in the Collateral or to not require delivery of any Mortgages, opinions of counsel, Title Policies or Surveys. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrowers shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, deliver, from time to time, to the Collateral Agent, such appraisals as are required by any Requirement of Law of Real Estate Assets with respect to which the Collateral Agent has been granted a Lien. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Real Estate Asset acquired after the Closing Date, unless required pursuant to this Section 5.11, no Loan Party shall be required to take any actions to grant a Lien or perfect a Lien in a Real Estate Asset that is not a Material Real Estate Asset.

Section 5.12 Further Assurances.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by the Collateral and all other assets of the same asset class as those asset classes constituting Collateral (in each case, and perfected with a First Priority Lien) including all of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Restricted Subsidiaries of Holdings. If the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders determine that they are required by a Requirement of Law to have appraisals prepared in respect of the Real Property of any Loan Party constituting Collateral, the Borrowers shall provide to the Administrative Agent appraisals that satisfy the applicable requirements of the Real Estate Appraisal Reform Amendments of FIRREA and are otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.

Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent in the Security Documents, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, developed or created” or words of similar effect.

ARTICLE VII

GUARANTEE

Section 7.01 The Guarantee. Each Borrower and each of the other Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective successors and permitted assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, the Borrowers, and all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any Swap Agreement or Treasury Services Agreement entered into with a counterparty that is a Secured Party, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Guaranteed Obligations include any Excluded Swap Obligation. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if any Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 7.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 7.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, Issuing Bank or any Lender or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.11.

195

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever (other than the ones expressly provided for or set forth in the applicable Loan Documents), and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrowers under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrowers and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Section 7.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article VII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

Section 7.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 7.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Borrower or other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(b) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.

Section 7.05 Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Term Loans are outstanding), the terms of any Permitted Securitization Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Securitization is outstanding) or the terms of any Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Secured Indebtedness is outstanding), the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.01 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.01) for purposes of Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrowers) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 7.01.

196

Section 7.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article VII constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

Section 7.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

Section 7.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 7.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 7.11) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 7.09 Swiss Guarantee Limitation. Any guarantee, indemnity or other obligation provided under, or the realization of any security interest over any asset granted by, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, by a Guarantor organized or incorporated under the laws of Switzerland (the “Swiss Guarantor”) shall be deemed not to be provided by such Swiss Guarantor to the extent that the same would constitute a breach of the financial assistance prohibitions under Swiss law. Under Swiss law, the following restrictions shall be applicable to the Swiss Guarantor:

(a) Any guarantee, indemnity or other obligation by a Swiss Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (the “Restricted Obligations”) and the aggregate use of proceeds from the enforcement of any security interest granted by a Swiss Guarantor shall be limited to the amount of that Swiss Guarantor’s Free Reserves Available for Distribution at the time payment or the application of proceeds from the realization of a security interest is requested or, the maximum amount permitted by Swiss law applicable at such time. Such limitations shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law (including any case law) at the point in time payment or the application of proceeds from the realization of a security interest is requested. Such limitation (as may apply from time to time or not) shall not (generally or definitively) free such Swiss Guarantor from payment obligations or the application of proceeds from the realization of a security interest under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in excess thereof, but merely postpone the payment date therefor or the application of proceeds from the realization of a security interest until such times as payment is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation. For the purpose of this Section 7.09, “Free Reserves Available for Distribution” means an amount equal to the maximum amount in which the relevant Swiss Guarantor can make a dividend payment to its shareholder(s) (being the year to date balance sheet profit and any freely disposable reserves available for this purpose, in each case in accordance with applicable Swiss law).

197

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after having been requested to discharge a Restricted Obligation, but in any event within 90 days from the request of the Administrative Agent (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), the respective Swiss Guarantor shall provide the Administrative Agent with (i) an interim statutory balance sheet audited by the statutory auditors of such Swiss Guarantor setting out the Free Reserves Available for Distribution and (ii) a confirmation issued by such Swiss Guarantor’s legal counsel as to the rate of Swiss withholding tax then applicable to any payment by the Guarantor of a Restricted Obligation or to any enforcement proceeds of a security interest securing a Restricted Obligation for the purpose of paragraph (c) below and, promptly thereafter, pay the lesser of (i) the Restricted Obligation and (ii) the amount corresponding to the Free Reserves Available for Distribution or the maximum amount permitted by Swiss law applicable at the time payment is requested to the Administrative Agent.

(c) In case a Swiss Guarantor who must make a payment or who must apply proceeds from the realization of a security interest in respect of the Restricted Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is obliged to withhold Swiss withholding tax in respect of such payment, such Swiss Guarantor shall:

(i) if and to the extent required by applicable law in force at the relevant time:

(A) procure that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss withholding tax, or with deduction of Swiss withholding tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including double tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;

(B) if the notification procedure pursuant to paragraph (A) above does not apply, deduct Swiss withholding tax at the rate of 35% (or such other rate as in force from time to time), or if the notification procedure pursuant to paragraph (A) above applies for a part of the Swiss withholding tax only, deduct Swiss withholding tax at the reduced rate resulting after the discharge of part of such tax by notification under applicable law, from any payment made by it in respect of Restricted Obligations and promptly pay any such taxes to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and

(C) notify the Administrative Agent that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made and provide evidence to the Administrative Agent that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made, or, as the case may be, that such Swiss withholding tax has been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;

(ii) to the extent such deduction is made, not be required to make a gross-up, indemnify or otherwise hold harmless the Lenders for the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, unless grossing-up is permitted under the laws of Switzerland then in force and provided that this should not in any way limit any obligations of any non-Swiss Guarantors under the Loan Documents to indemnify the Lenders in respect of the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax. The Swiss Guarantor shall use all reasonable efforts to procure that any person which is entitled to a full or partial refund of any Swiss withholding tax paid pursuant to paragraph (i) above will, as soon as possible after the deduction of the Swiss withholding tax: (y) request a refund of the Swiss withholding tax under any applicable law (including double taxation treaties) and (z) pay to the Administrative Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded.

198

(d) If a Swiss Guarantor is obliged to withhold Swiss withholding tax in accordance with paragraph (c) above, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to further request payment under the Guarantee as per this Agreement or any other Loan Document and other indemnity granted to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and apply proceeds therefrom against the relevant Obligations to which the payment referred to in paragraph (c) above relates up to an amount which is equal to that amount which would have been obtained if no withholding of Swiss withholding tax were required, whereby such further payments shall be subject to Swiss withholding tax as may then be applicable and shall always be limited to the maximum amount of the Free Reserves Available for Distribution of such Swiss Guarantor as set out in paragraph (a) above or the maximum amount permitted by Swiss law applicable at such time.

(e) The Swiss Guarantor will take, and cause to be taken, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event within 90 days from the request of the Administrative Agent (or such later date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), all and any other action, including, without limitation, the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the receipt of any confirmations from the Swiss Guarantor’s auditors, whether following a request to discharge a Restricted Obligation or which may be required as a matter of mandatory Swiss law in force at the time it is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under this Agreement, or any other Loan Document in order to allow a prompt payment of amounts owed by the Swiss Guarantor, a prompt use of proceeds from security interests granted by the Swiss Guarantor or the prompt performance of other obligations under this Agreement, or any other Loan Document.

(f) If the enforcement of the Restricted Obligations would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Section 7.09 and if any asset of the Swiss Guarantor has a book value that is less than its market value (an “Undervalued Asset”), the Swiss Guarantor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law and its accounting standards, (i) write up the book value of such Undervalued Asset such that its balance sheet reflects a book value that is equal to the market value of such Undervalued Asset, and (ii) make reasonable efforts to realize the Undervalued Asset for a sum which is at least equal to the market value of such asset. Without prejudice to the rights of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, the Swiss Guarantor will only be required to realize an Undervalued Asset if such asset is not necessary for the Swiss Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig).

Section 7.10 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 7.11 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a Person or persons, none of which is a Borrower or a Loan Party, such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be automatically released (without any further action by any Agent or any other Person so long as the Administrative Agent has received the documents requested pursuant to this Section 7.11) from its obligations under the Loan Documents (including under Section 10.03 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be automatically released, and, so long as the Borrowers shall have provided the Administrative Agent such certifications or documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, the Collateral Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect or evidence each release described in this Section 7.11 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents, so long as the Borrowers shall have provided the Administrative Agent such certifications or documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement; provided that such Guarantor is also released from its obligations under the Term Loan Documents on the same terms.

199

Section 7.12 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.04. The provisions of this Section 7.11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Section 7.13 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.12 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.12, or otherwise under this Guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Article VII shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.12 constitutes, and this Section 7.12 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(b) Second, to the payment of all other reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the other Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured Parties in connection therewith, together with interest on each such amount at the Default Rate from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

(a) it would have been (if it were not for this provision) a breach of representation or warranty, a breach of a covenant, a Default or an Event of Default only by reason of circumstances or matters relating exclusively to Cristal or its subsidiaries (or any obligation for Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary to procure or ensure in relation to Cristal or its subsidiaries);

(b) it is capable of remedy and reasonable steps are being taken to remedy it;

If the relevant circumstances are continuing on or after the date falling 120 days after the date of consummation of the Cristal Acquisition (the period commencing on the date of the consummation of the Cristal Acquisition and ending on the 120th day thereafter, the “Clean-up Period”), there shall be a breach of representation or warranty, breach of covenant, Event of Default or Specified Event of Default, as the case may be, notwithstanding the above (and without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties).

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 9.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including, as the case may be, as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in connection with the Swiss law governed Security Documents) and authorizes such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agents by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

(b) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agents to enter into this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Bahamas Receivables Purchase Agreement (or acknowledge and agree thereto), to the extent it deems appropriate. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agents, Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and the exercise by Agents, Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

Section 9.02 Rights as a Lender. Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

(i) shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law; and

(iii) shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

205

(b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank.

(c) No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Requirements of Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(d) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may use an outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing statements required to be filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that any such service provider will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

Section 9.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with such advice.

Section 9.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent, including a sub-agent which is a non-U.S. affiliate of such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

206

Section 9.06 Resignation of Agent.

(a) Each Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers at least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed resignation effective date. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor (subject to the Administrative Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security as nominee until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through an Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this clause (a). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this clause (a)). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

(b) Any resignation by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.06(a) shall, unless Wells Fargo Bank, National Association gives notice to the Administrative Borrower otherwise, also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender, and such resignation as Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall become effective simultaneously with the discharge of the Administrative Agent from its duties and obligations as set forth in the immediately preceding clause (a) (except as to already outstanding Letters of Credit and LC Obligations and Swingline Loans, as to which the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall continue in such capacities until the LC Exposure relating thereto shall be reduced to zero and such Swingline Loans shall have been repaid, as applicable, or until the successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the roles of Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender in accordance with the next sentence and perform the actions required by the next sentence). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, unless Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and such successor gives notice to Administrative Borrower otherwise, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender and (ii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. At the time any such resignation of the Issuing Bank shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the retiring Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c).

207

Section 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and warrants that it has had the opportunity to review the Confidential Information Memorandum (if any) and each other document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender also acknowledges that the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent (and/or the Australian Security Trustee, as applicable) pursuant to the Security Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent (and/or the Australian Security Trustee, as applicable) thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Term Loans are outstanding), the terms of any Permitted Securitization Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Securitization is outstanding) or the terms of any Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Secured Indebtedness is outstanding). So long as any Term Loans are outstanding or obligations under any Permitted Securitization or any Permitted Secured Indebtedness are outstanding, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

Section 9.08 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.15(a) or (c), each Lender and the Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or the Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.08. The agreements in this Section 9.08 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

208

Section 9.09 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Co-Syndication Agents, Documentation Agent, Bookmanagers or Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

Section 9.10 Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Administrative Agent), or as the Required Lenders may require or otherwise direct, for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement, or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law. The Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purpose of enforcing rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth above.

Section 9.11 Lien Releases. The Secured Parties authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a)(i) upon any sale or other transfer as part of or in connection with an Asset Sale by any Loan Party (other than to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (ii) if any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under any Loan Documents does not constitute Collateral, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released; (b) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (c) subject to Section 10.02(b), with the consent of the Required Lenders. The Secured Parties authorize Agent to subordinate its Liens to any Lien securing purchase money obligations permitted hereunder or other Lien entitled to priority hereunder.

Section 9.12 Australian Security Trustee.

(a) Each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints the Australian Security Trustee as its security trustee, and authorizes the Australian Security Trustee to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, as applicable, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Australian Security Trustee by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. All of the Secured Parties (other than the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to the extent provided herein) agree and acknowledge that they will take no action in respect of the Australian Security Agreements (including communicating with the Borrowers) except through the Australian Security Trustee. The express powers granted to the Australian Security Trustee are in addition to any other power or rights it has under any other law. In relation to anything the Australian Security Trustee does or omits to do, a Borrower need not enquire (i) whether the Australian Security Trustee needed to consult with or has consulted with the Lenders, (ii) whether any Lender has instructed the Australian Security Trustee, or (iii) about the terms of any instructions. As between the Australian Security Trustee and any Borrower, all action the Australian Security Trustee as security trustee for the Lenders is taken to be authorized unless such Borrower has actual notice to the contrary.

209

(b) The Australian Security Trustee shall promptly forward to a party the original or a copy of any document which is delivered to the Australian Security Trustee for that party by any other party. If the Australian Security Trustee receives notice from a party referring to this Agreement, describing a Default or an Event of Default and stating that the circumstance described is a Default or an Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent. If the Australian Security Trustee is aware of the non-payment of any principal, interest, commitment fee or other fee payable to any other Secured Party under this Agreement, it shall promptly notify such other Secured Party. The Australian Security Trustee’s duties under the Loan Documents are solely mechanical and administrative in nature. The Australian Security Trustee has no other duties except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

(c) The Australian Security Trustee may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or other business with any Loan Party.

(d) The Australian Security Trustee may assume (unless it has received actual notice to the contrary in its capacity as security trustee for the Secured Parties) that any right, power, authority or discretion vested in any party or the Required Lenders has not been exercised.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, (i) the Australian Security Trustee is not obliged to do or to omit to do anything if it would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation or a breach of a fiduciary duty or duty of confidentiality, (ii) the Australian Security Trustee need not act (whether or not on instruction from one or more Lenders) for so long as it is unable to act due to any cause beyond its control (including war, riot, natural disaster, labor dispute or law taking effect after the date of this Agreement). The Australian Security Trustee agrees to notify each Lender, each other Agent and the Australian Borrower promptly after it determines that it is unable to act pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9.11(e). The Australian Security Trustee will have no responsibility for any liability or loss arising from, or any costs incurred in connection with, the Australian Security Trustee not acting for so long as it is unable to act pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 9.11(e)).

(f) Unless a contrary indication appears in any Loan Document, the Australian Security Trustee shall: (i) exercise any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Australian Security Trustee in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Administrative Agent (or, if so instructed by the Administrative Agent, refrain from acting or exercising any right, power, authority or discretion vested in it as Australian Security Trustee); and (ii) not be liable for any act (or omission) if it acts (or refrains from taking any action) in accordance with such an instruction of the Secured Parties. Unless a contrary indication appears in a Loan Document, any instructions given to the Australian Security Trustee by the Administrative Agent will be binding on all the Secured Parties. The Australian Security Trustee may refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Administrative Agent (or, if appropriate, the Secured Parties) until it has received such security as it may require for any cost, loss or liability (together with any associated indirect Tax) which it may incur in complying with the instructions. The Australian Security Trustee is not authorized to act on behalf of a Secured Party (without first obtaining that Secured Party’s consent) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to any Loan Document.

210

(g) Without limiting the rest of this clause (g), the Australian Security Trustee will not be liable for any action taken by it, or for omitting to take action under or in connection with any Loan Document, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct. No party (other than the Australian Security Trustee) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Australian Security Trustee in respect of any claim it might have against the Australian Security Trustee or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to any Loan Document and any officer, employee or agent of the Australian Security Trustee may rely on this Article IX. The Australian Security Trustee will not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Loan Documents to be paid by the Australian Security Trustee if the Australian Security Trustee has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognized clearing or settlement system used by the Australian Security Trustee for that purpose.

(h) Each Lender shall (in proportion to its share of the aggregate Revolving Commitments at any time or, if the aggregate Revolving Commitments at such time are zero, to its share of the aggregate Revolving Commitments immediately prior to their reduction to zero) indemnify the Australian Security Trustee, within three (3) Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Australian Security Trustee (otherwise than by reason of the Australian Security Trustee’s fraud, negligence or willful misconduct) in acting as Australian Security Trustee under the Loan Documents (unless the Australian Security Trustee has been reimbursed by a Borrower pursuant to a Loan Document).

(i) The Australian Security Trustee may treat the Administrative Agent as the agent entitled to payments under this Agreement and acting through its facility office unless it has received not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice from the Administrative Agent to the contrary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(j) Any amount payable to the Australian Security Trustee under the Loan Documents shall include the cost of utilizing the Australian Security Trustee’s management time or other resources and will be calculated on the basis of such reasonable daily or hourly rates as the Australian Security Trustee may notify to the Borrowers and the Secured Parties, and is in addition to any fee paid or payable to the Australian Security Trustee under any Loan Document.

(k) If any party owes an amount to the Australian Security Trustee under any Loan Document, the Australian Security Trustee may, after giving notice to such party, deduct an amount not exceeding that amount from any payments to such party which the Australian Security Trustee would otherwise be obliged to make under such Loan Document and apply the amount deducted in or towards satisfaction of the amount owed. For the purposes of the Loan Document, such party shall be regarded as having received any amount so deducted.

Section 9.13 Collateral Agent Acting as Security Trustee.

(a) Appointment. The Secured Parties appoint the Collateral Agent to act as security trustee (the “Security Trustee”) under the UK Security Agreements for the purposes of holding (A) any Lien created by any UK Security Agreement; and (B) the covenants and undertakings of the relevant UK Security Agreements.

(b) Delegation. The Security Trustee may delegate to any Person on such terms (which may include the power to sub-delegate) and subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, all or any of the rights, powers, authorities and discretions vested in it by any of the Loan Documents.

211

(c) Separate Security Trustees. The Security Trustee may (whether for the purpose of complying with any law or regulation of any overseas jurisdiction, or for any other reason) appoint any Person to act jointly with the Security Trustee either as a separate trustee or as a co-trustee (each an “Appointee”) on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Security Trustee thinks fit and with such of the rights, powers, authorities and discretions vested in the Security Trustee by any Loan Document as may be conferred by the instrument of appointment of the Appointee. The Security Trustee may pay reasonable remuneration to any Appointee, together with any costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by the Appointee in connection with its appointment. All such remuneration, costs and expenses shall be treated, for the purposes of this Agreement, as paid or incurred by the Security Trustee.

(d) The UK Security Agreements. Each Secured Party confirms its approval of the relevant UK Security Agreements and of any Lien intended to be created under it, and authorizes and instructs the Security Trustee to execute and deliver the relevant UK Security Agreements. The Security Trustee may accept without enquiry the title (if any) which any Person may have to any assets over which Lien is intended to be created by the relevant UK Security Agreements, and shall not be liable to any other party for any defect in or failure of any such title. The Security Trustee shall not be (i) liable or responsible to any Secured Party for any failure to perfect, protect, register, make any filing or give notice in respect of the Lien intended to be created by the relevant UK Security Agreements, unless that failure arises directly from its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct; (ii) obliged to insure any assets over which Lien is intended to be created by the relevant UK Security Agreements, to require any other person to maintain any such insurance, or to make any enquiry or conduct any investigation into the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of any insurance existing over any such asset; or (iii) obliged to hold in its own possession the relevant UK Security Agreements, title deed or other document relating to any assets over which Lien is intended to be created by the relevant UK Security Agreements.

(e) Security Trustee as Proprietor. Each Secured Party confirms that it does not wish to be registered as a joint proprietor of any mortgage or charge created pursuant to the relevant UK Security Agreements and accordingly (i) authorizes the Security Trustee to hold such mortgages and charges in its sole name as trustee for the Secured Parties; and (ii) requests the Land Registry (or other relevant registry) to register the Security Trustee as a sole proprietor (or heritable creditor, as the case may be) of any such mortgage or charge.

(f) Investments. Except to the extent that a UK Security Agreement otherwise requires, any moneys received by the Security Trustee under or pursuant to a UK Security Agreement may be (a) invested in any investments which it may select and which are authorized by applicable law; or (b) placed on deposit at any bank or institution (including itself) on such terms as it may think fit, in each case in the name or under the control of the Security Trustee, and those moneys, together with any accrued income (net of any applicable Tax) shall be held by the Security Trustee to the order of the Administrative Agent, and shall be payable to the Administrative Agent on demand.

(g) Secured Parties’ Indemnity to the Security Trustee. Each Secured Party shall indemnify the Security Trustee, its delegates and sub-delegates and Appointees (for purposes of this Section 9.13, each an “Indemnified Party”), within three (3) Business Days of demand, against any cost, loss or liability incurred by the Security Trustee or the relevant Indemnified Party (otherwise than by reason of the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Security Trustee or that Indemnified Party) in acting as Security Trustee or its delegate, sub-delegate or Appointee under the relevant UK Security Agreements (except to the extent that the Security Trustee, or the relevant Indemnified Party has been reimbursed by any Loan Party pursuant to the relevant UK Security Agreements).

(h) Conduct of Business by the Security Trustee. No provision of this Agreement will (i) interfere with the right of the Security Trustee to arrange its affairs (tax or otherwise) in whatever manner it thinks fit; (ii) oblige the Security Trustee to investigate or claim any credit, relief, remission or repayment available to it or the extent, order and manner of any claim; or (iii) oblige the Security Trustee to disclose any information relating to its affairs (tax or otherwise) or any computations in respect of tax.

(i) Liability of Security Trustee.

(i) The Security Trustee shall not nor shall any of its officers, employees or agents from time to time be responsible for: (A) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information (whether oral or written) supplied by any Loan Party or any other person given in or in connection with the relevant UK Security Agreements; or (B) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the relevant UK Security Agreements or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of or in connection with the relevant UK Security Agreements.

(ii) Without limiting subclause (i) above, the Security Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it or not taken by it under or in connection with the relevant UK Security Agreements, unless directly caused by its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(iii) No party (other than the Security Trustee) may take any proceedings against any officer, employee or agent of the Security Trustee in respect of any claim it might have against the Security Trustee or in respect of any act or omission of any kind by that officer, employee or agent in relation to the relevant UK Security Agreements and any officer, employee or agent of the Security Trustee may rely on this Section 9.13 and the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

(iv) The Security Trustee shall not be liable for any delay (or any related consequences) in crediting an account with an amount required under the Loan Documents to be paid by the Security Trustee, if the Security Trustee has taken all necessary steps as soon as reasonably practicable to comply with the regulations or operating procedures of any recognized clearing or settlement system used by the Security Trustee for that purpose.

(v) Without affecting the responsibility of the Loan Parties for information supplied by them or on their behalf in connection with any Loan Document, each Secured Party confirms to the Security Trustee that it has been, and shall continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with the relevant UK Security Agreements including but not limited to: (i) the financial condition, status and nature of the Loan Parties; (ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of the relevant UK Security Agreements and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with the relevant UK Security Agreements; (iii) whether such Secured Party has recourse, and the nature and extent of that recourse, against any party or any of its respective assets under or in connection with any Loan Document, the transactions contemplated by the UK Security Agreements or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with the relevant UK Security Agreements; and (iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information provided by any person under or in connection with the relevant UK Security Agreements, the transactions contemplated by the relevant UK Security Agreements or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with the relevant UK Security Agreements.

213

(j) UK Security Agreements. The Security Trustee shall accept without investigation, requisition or objection, such title as any person may have to the assets which are subject to the relevant UK Security Agreements and shall not (i) be bound or concerned to examine or enquire into the title of any person; (ii) be liable for any defect or failure in the title of any person, whether that defect or failure was known to the Security Trustee or might have been discovered upon examination or enquiry and whether capable of remedy or not; or (iii) be liable for any failure on its part to give notice of the relevant UK Security Agreements to any third party or otherwise perfect or register the Liens created by the relevant UK Security Agreements (unless such failure arises directly from the Security Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct). The Security Trustee shall hold the relevant UK Security Agreements and all proceeds of enforcement of them on trust for the Secured Parties on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The relevant UK Security Agreements shall rank as continuing Lien for the discharge of the liabilities secured by it.

(k) Disposals. The Security Trustee is authorized by each of the Secured Parties to execute on behalf of itself and each such Secured Party without the need for any further referral to or authority from such Secured Party, any release of the Liens created by the relevant UK Security Agreements over that asset and, if such asset comprises all of the shares in any Loan Party, the Security Trustee is further authorized, without the need for any further referral to or authority from such Secured Party, to execute a release of any Liens granted by such Loan Party over its assets pursuant to any of the UK Security Agreements; provided that in each such case the proceeds are applied in the manner provided for in this Agreement as if they were realizations pursuant to the relevant UK Security Agreements. Each Secured Party undertakes to execute such releases and other documents as may be necessary to give effect to the releases specified in this clause (k).

(l) Appointment and Retirement of Security Trustee. The Security Trustee (i) subject to the appointment of a successor (in consultation with the Administrative Borrower) may, and must if the Administrative Agent requires, retire at any time from its position as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents without assigning any reason, and (ii) must give notice of its intention to retire by giving to the other Secured Parties and the Administrative Borrower not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ notice.

(m) Appointment of Successor. The Administrative Agent may, with the approval of the Administrative Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) other than during the continuation of an Event of Default, appoint a successor to the Security Trustee, during the period of notice in Section 12.2.13. If no successor is appointed by the Administrative Agent, the Security Trustee may appoint (after consultation with the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower) its successor. The Secured Parties shall promptly enter into any agreements that the successor may reasonably require to effect its appointment.

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

Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in clause (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said clause (b). Any party hereto may change its address or telecopier number for notices and other communications hereunder by written notice to the Administrative Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender.

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereunder may (subject to the provisions of this Section 10.01) be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Borrowers may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it (including pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.01); provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials (the “Communications”), by transmitting them in an electronic medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at toma.martin@wellsfargo.com or at such other e-mail address(es) provided to the Borrowers from time to time or in such other form as the Administrative Agent shall require. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in such other form as the Administrative Agent shall require. Nothing in this Section 10.01 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or as any such Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall require.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, the Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications (other than any such Communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default under this Agreement or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder) by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents.

216

(c) Platform. Each Loan Party further agrees that any Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on SyndTrak or a substantially similar secure electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall any Agent or any of its Related Parties have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or such Agent’s transmission of communications through the Internet, except to the extent the liability of such Person is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Public/Private. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute (i) to Private Siders all Communications, including any Communication that the Borrowers identify in writing is to be distributed to Private Siders only (“Private Side Communications”), and (ii) to Public Siders all Communications other than any Private Side Communication. Each Borrower represents and warrants that no Communication (other than Private Side Communications) contains any MNPI. Each Borrower agrees to designate as Private Side Communications only those Communications or portions thereof that it reasonably believes in good faith constitute MNPI, and agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts not to designate any Communications provided under Section 5.01(a), (b), (c) and (d) as Private Side Communications. “Private Siders” shall mean Lenders’ employees and representatives who have declared that they are authorized to receive MNPI. “Public Siders” shall mean Lenders’ employees and representatives who have not declared that they are authorized to receive MNPI; it being understood that Public Siders may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to Borrowers’ or their affiliates’ securities or loans. “MNPI” shall mean material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws) with respect to the Borrowers, their affiliates and any of their respective securities.

Each Lender acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any Person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Each Lender confirms that it has developed procedures designed to ensure compliance with these securities laws.

Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that may contain MNPI. Accordingly, each Lender agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to designate at least one individual to receive Private Side Communications on its behalf in compliance with its procedures and applicable Requirements of Law and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time of such Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Private Side Communications may be sent by electronic transmission.

217

Each Lender that elects not to be given access to Private Side Communications does so voluntarily and, by such election, (i) acknowledges and agrees that the Agents and other Lenders may have access to Private Side Communications that such electing Lender does not have and (ii) takes sole responsibility for the consequences of, and waives any and all claims based on or arising out of, not having access to Private Side Communications.

Section 10.02 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) Generally. No failure or delay by any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 10.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Required Consents. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Term Loans are outstanding), the terms of any Permitted Securitization Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Securitization is outstanding) or the terms of any Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Secured Indebtedness is outstanding) and to Section 10.02(c), and (d), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are party thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement, waiver, supplement or modification shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, mandatory prepayment, covenant or Default shall constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (ii) and it being further understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest or any other payment due hereunder or under any other Loan Document at the Default Rate);

218

(iii) (A) change the scheduled final maturity of any Loan, (B) postpone the date for payment of any Reimbursement Obligation or any interest or fees payable hereunder, (C) reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or (D) postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment or any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Maturity Date, in any case, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iv) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(v) permit the assignment or delegation by the Borrowers of any of their respective rights or obligations under any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vi) except pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, release Holdings or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their Guarantee (except as expressly provided in Article VII), or limit their liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii) except pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents, in each case without the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that additional Classes of Loans or increases in the Loans pursuant to Section 2.20 or consented to by the Required Lenders may be equally and ratably secured by the Collateral with the then existing Secured Obligations under the Security Documents);

(viii) change Section 2.14(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required thereby or any other provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata allocation among the Lenders of Loan disbursements, including the requirements of Sections 2.02(a), 2.17(d) and 2.18(d), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(ix) change any provision of this Section 10.02(b) or Section 10.02(c) or (d), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for additional restrictions on amendments or waivers for the benefit of Lenders of additional Classes of Loans or increases in the Loans pursuant to Section 2.20 or consented to by the Required Lenders);

(x) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section 10.02) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), other than to increase such percentage or number or to give any additional Lender or group of Lenders such right to waive, amend or modify or make any such determination or grant any such consent;

219

(xi) subordinate the Obligations to any other obligation, without the written consent of each Lender;

(xii) change or waive any provision of Article X as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the written consent of such Agent;

(xiii) change or waive any obligation of the Lenders relating to the issuance of or purchase of participations in Letters of Credit, without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank;

(xiv) change or waive any provision hereof relating to Swingline Loans (including the definition of “Swingline Commitment”), without the written consent of the Swingline Lender;

(xv) expressly change or waive any condition precedent in Section 4.02 to any Revolving Borrowing without the written consent of the Required Lenders;

(xvi) change or waive any provision of the definition of “Aggregate Borrowing Base”, “Australian Borrowing Base”, “Borrowing Base”, “Dutch Borrowing Base” or “U.S. Borrowing Base” or any of the exclusionary criteria for Australian Eligible Accounts, Dutch Eligible Accounts, U.S. Eligible Accounts, Australian Eligible Inventory, Dutch Eligible Inventory and U.S. Eligible Inventory set forth in Section 2.21 if the effect of such change or waiver would be to make more credit available, without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders;

(xvii) increase the applicable advance rates set forth in the definitions of “Australian Borrowing Base,” “Dutch Borrowing Base” or “U.S. Borrowing Base” without the written consent of each Lender; or

(xviii) change any provision of Section 8.02 or the proviso in the definition of “Secured Obligations”, without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders;

provided, further, that any waiver, amendment or modification of the Intercreditor Agreement (or any Permitted Securitization Intercreditor Agreement or any Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement) (and any related definitions) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into among the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Term Loan Agent (or any Permitted Securitization Agent or Senior Representative, as applicable) (with the consent of the Required Lenders but without the consent of any Loan Party, so long as such amendment, waiver or modification does not impose any additional duties or obligations on the Loan Parties or alter or impair any right of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents). Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, to or for the benefit of any Lender for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless such consideration is offered to be paid to all Lenders and is paid to all Lenders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

220

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein:

(I) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except to the extent the consent of such Lender would be required under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 10.02(b); and

(II) any Loan Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) solely to cure a defect or error, or to grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extend an existing Lien over additional property.

(c) Collateral. Without the consent of any other Person, the applicable Loan Party or Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law.

(d) Dissenting Lenders. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 10.02(b), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrowers shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more persons pursuant to Section 2.16(b) so long as at the time of such replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrowers elect to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 10.02(d), it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such non-consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

(e) Increased Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (without the consent of any Lenders) may amend this Agreement and the Loan Documents if necessary or advisable to effectuate any increase in Commitments contemplated by Section 2.20 without limiting the rights of the Lenders to decline to provide any increased or new Commitment under Section 2.20.

(f) Schedules. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.02 to the contrary, (i) Holdings may supplement each of Schedule 3.25 (without the consent of any Lender or Agent) as set forth in clause (y) of the third sentence from the end of Section 5.10(b) and (ii) Holdings may update Schedule 1.01(e) from time to time and such schedule shall be, on the Business Day that is five (5) Business Days after the date such updated schedule is distributed to the Lenders, deemed effective without the consent of any Loan Party, any Agent or any Lender (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Direct Competitor”).

221

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and the Loan Parties (without the consent of any Lenders) may amend this Agreement and the Loan Documents as necessary to add a Subsidiary of Holdings, organized under the laws of the UK, as an Additional Co-Borrower to this Agreement on the terms, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth on Exhibit T.

Section 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay, without duplication, (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one (1) counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall also include the reasonable and documented charges of Norton Rose Fulbright LLP in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Australia)) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein (including the obtaining and maintaining of CUSIP numbers for the Loans), the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including in connection with post-closing searches to confirm that security filings and recordations have been properly made and including any reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the service provider referred to in Section 9.03, (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one (1) counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties (and, solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where each party affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one (1) firm of counsel for such affected party in each relevant jurisdiction)), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit and (iv) all documentary and similar taxes and charges in respect of the Loan Documents.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) each Lender and the Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any party hereto or any third party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by any Company at any time, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Company, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity as Arranger or Agent hereunder or fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or an Arranger, as the case may be, and other than claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrowers, any Loan Party or their respective Affiliates.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that any Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that (i) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity and (ii) such indemnity for the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank shall not include losses incurred by the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank due to one or more Lenders defaulting in their obligations to purchase participations of Swingline Exposure under Section 2.17(d) or LC Exposure under Section 2.18(d) or to make Revolving Loans under Section 2.18(e) (it being understood that this proviso shall not affect the Swingline Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s rights against any Defaulting Lender).

(b) Assignments by Lenders.

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

(A) the Administrative Borrower; provided that no consent of the Administrative Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or prior to the completion of the primary syndication of the Commitments and Loans (as determined by the Arrangers), any other assignee; provided, further that the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

224

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

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

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 10.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(d).

If an assignment or transfer does not include an amount outstanding from each Borrower which is a Dutch Loan Party of at least € 100,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) (or such other amount as may be required from time to time under the Dutch Financial Markets Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), the assignee or transferee, as the case may be, shall confirm in the relevant Assignment and Assumption to each such Borrower that it is a professional market party (professionele marktpartij) within the meaning of such Act.

225

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Administrative Borrower, the Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. A Loan may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans and Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title and interest of the Lenders in and to such Obligations shall be transferable only in accordance with the terms hereof. This Section 10.04(c) shall be construed so that the Loans and Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(d) Participations. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any participation of such Loan may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any Direct Competitor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Issuing Bank shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.03(e), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.15 (subject to satisfying the requirements of those Sections as if it were a Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.03(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

226

(e) Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15 and 2.24 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Requirement of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.15, 2.24 and Article X (other than Section 10.12) shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Fee Letter constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier or other electronic transmission (i.e. a “pdf” or “tif” document) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

227

Section 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.08 Right of Setoff. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Term Loans are outstanding), the terms of any Permitted Securitization Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Securitization is outstanding) or the terms of any Permitted Secured Indebtedness Intercreditor Agreement (so long as any Permitted Secured Indebtedness is outstanding), if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Borrower 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.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the Dollar Equivalent of each Loan that is a Euro Denominated Loan shall be calculated on the date when any such Loan is made and at such other times as designated by the Administrative Agent. Such Dollar Equivalent shall remain in effect until the same is recalculated by the Administrative Agent as provided above and notice of such recalculation is received by the Administrative Borrower, it being understood that until such notice of such recalculation is received, the Dollar Equivalent shall be that Dollar Equivalent as last reported to the Administrative Borrower by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Borrowers’ obligation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in the applicable Approved Currency (pursuant to such obligation, the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Borrower in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Relevant Currency Equivalent, and in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

232

(c) For purposes of determining the Relevant Currency Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 10.18, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

(a) All funds to be made available to Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement in euros shall be made available to Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds to such account with such bank in such principal financial center in such Participating Member State (or in London) as Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall from time to time nominate for this purpose.

(b) In relation to the payment of any amount denominated in euros neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrowers or any of the Lenders for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank if such Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall have taken all relevant and necessary steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in euros) to the account with the bank in the principal financial center in the Participating Member State which the Administrative Borrower or, as the case may be, any Lender shall have specified for such purpose. In this Section 10.19(b), “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of euros. Furthermore, and without limiting the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrowers or any of the Lenders with respect to the foregoing matters in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision or pursuant to a binding arbitration award or as otherwise agreed in writing by the affected parties).

Section 10.20 Australian Code of Banking Practice. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Australian Code of Banking Practice does not apply to this Agreement and the transactions in connection with it.

Section 10.21 Contracting out of PPSA Australia Provisions.

(a) PPSA Notices. Neither a Secured Party nor any receiver or manager is obliged to give any notice under the PPSA Australia (including notice of a verification statement) unless the notice is required by the PPSA Australia and cannot be excluded. The Loan Parties consent to the waiver of the requirement for notice and waive any rights they have to receive a notice under sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d), 132(4), 135 and 157 of the PPSA Australia.

(b) Contracting Out. To the extent that Chapter 4 of the PPSA Australia would otherwise apply, the parties agree that the following provisions of the PPSA Australia are excluded: (a) to the extent permitted by section 115(1) of the PPSA Australia allows them to be excluded: sections 125, 132(3)(d), 132(4), 135, without limiting Section 12.3.1(a), 142 and 143 of the PPSA Australia; and (b) to the extent permitted by section 115(7) of the PPSA Australia allows them to be excluded: sections 129(2) and (3), 132, 133(1)(b) (as it relates to a Lien of a Secured Party), 134(2), 135, 136(3)(4) and (5). The Loan Parties consent to the waiver of the requirement for notice under any other provision of the PPSA Australia that a Secured Party may notify to a Loan Party after the date of this document and waives any rights it has to receive that notice.

233

Section 10.22 Parallel Debt.

(a) For purposes of this Section 10.22, (i) “Corresponding Debt” means all Obligations which any Loan Party owes to any Secured Party and (ii) “Parallel Debt” means any amount which a Loan Party owes to the Collateral Agent under this Section 10.22.

(b) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to, and in the currency or currencies of, its Corresponding Debt.

(c) The Parallel Debt of each Loan Party (i) shall become due and payable at the same time as its Corresponding Debt and (ii) is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, its Corresponding Debt.

(d) For purposes of this Section 10.22, the Collateral Agent: (i) is the independent and separate creditor of each Parallel Debt, (ii) acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of the Secured Parties and its claims in respect of each Parallel Debt shall not be held in trust and (iii) shall have the independent and separate right to demand payment of each Parallel Debt in its own name (including, without limitation, through any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in any kind of insolvency proceeding).

(e) The Parallel Debt of a Loan Party shall be (i) decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (ii) increased to the extent to that its Corresponding Debt has increased, and the Corresponding Debt of a Loan Party shall be (i) decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged, and (ii) increased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has increased, in each case provided that the Parallel Debt of a Loan Party shall never exceed its Corresponding Debt.

(f) This Section 10.22 applies for the purpose of determining the secured obligations under the Security Documents and is, without prejudice to Section 10.09, governed by Dutch law.

Section 10.23 Intercompany Indebtedness. On behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, each Loan Party hereby agrees for the benefit of the Secured Parties that:

(a) any intercompany indebtedness among Holdings and its Subsidiaries (or among such Subsidiaries) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Section 10.23, to the Obligations, including, without limitation, where applicable, under any such intercompany borrower’s Guaranty (if any) of the Obligations hereunder;

(b) in the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, and any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection therewith, relative to any intercompany borrower or to its creditors, as such, or to its property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of such intercompany borrower, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, then (i) the holders of the Obligations shall be paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Obligations before any intercompany lender is entitled to receive (whether directly or indirectly), or make any demands for, any payment on account of any intercompany indebtedness (excluding demands by the Collateral Agent exercising its rights under any collateral assignment of the rights of such intercompany lenders) and (ii) until the holders of the Obligations are paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Obligations, any payment or distribution to which such intercompany lender would otherwise be entitled under any intercompany indebtedness shall be made to the Administrative Agent;

234

(c) if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and an intercompany borrower has received written notice from the Administrative Agent, then, except as required by any Requirement of Law, no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by any intercompany borrower that is a Loan Party in respect of any intercompany indebtedness to any Person that is not a Loan Party or that is not the Administrative Agent;

(d) if any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in respect of intercompany indebtedness shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any intercompany lender in violation of clause (b) or (c) above before all Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the Administrative Agent in a manner to be determined by the Administrative Agent; and

(e) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be prejudiced in their right to enforce the subordination in this Section 10.23 by any act or failure to act on the part of any intercompany borrower, any intercompany lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or by any act or failure to act on the part of any of the foregoing or any representative, trustee or agent thereof. Each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that the subordination of intercompany indebtedness contemplated by this Section 10.23 is for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may enforce the subordination provisions herein.

Section 10.24 Certain Undertakings with Respect to Securitization Subsidiaries. Each of the Lenders and the Agents agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all the obligations of the Securitization Subsidiary in connection with and under a Permitted Securitization, (a) the Secured Parties shall not be entitled, whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, to (i) institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Securitization Subsidiary any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof; (ii) transfer and register the Equity Interests of any Securitization Subsidiary or any other instrument evidencing any Seller’s Retained Interest in the name of a Secured Party or any designee or nominee thereof; (iii) foreclose such security interest regardless of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries: (iv) exercise any voting rights granted or appurtenant to such capital stock of any Securitization Subsidiary or any other instrument evidencing any Seller’s Retained Interest; or (v) enforce any right that the holder of any such Equity Interest of any Securitization Subsidiary or any other instrument evidencing any Seller’s Retained Interest might otherwise have to liquidate, consolidate, combine, collapse or disregard the entity status of such Securitization Subsidiary; and (b) the Secured Parties hereby waive and release any right to require (i) that any Securitization Subsidiary be in any manner merged, combined, collapsed or consolidated with or into Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including by way of substantive consolidation in a bankruptcy case; or (ii) that the status of any Securitization Subsidiary as a separate entity be in any respect disregarded. Each of the Lenders, the Agents and the Arrangers agrees and acknowledges that the agent acting on behalf of the holders of securitization indebtedness of the Securitization Subsidiary is an express third party beneficiary with respect to this Section 10.24 and such agent shall have the right to enforce compliance by the Secured Parties, the Lenders, the Agents, and the Arrangers with this Section 10.24.

235

Section 10.25 Designation of Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Borrower may, so long as a Cash Dominion Period does not exist, at any time and from time to time redesignate any Borrower hereunder as a Guarantor (any such redesignated entity, a “Redesignated Guarantor”) upon delivery of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent (a) attaching an updated Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the removal of any Accounts or Inventory of such Redesignated Guarantor from the Aggregate Borrowing Base; (b) certifying that after giving effect to the updated Borrowing Base Certificate, (i) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures does not exceed the lesser of (A) the total Revolving Commitments and (B) the Aggregate Borrowing Base then in effect; (ii) a Cash Dominion Period will not commence as a result of such redesignation; and (iii) immediately prior to such redesignation, the Borrower to be redesignated does not own any bank account, deposit account, security account or other investment account subject to, or required to be subject to, a Control Agreement.

Section 10.26 No Fiduciary Relationship. Each of Holdings and the Borrowers, on behalf of themselves and their Subsidiaries, agree that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, Holdings, the Borrowers, the other Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the other Secured Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the other Secured Parties or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications, and hereby waives any claim of any breach of any such fiduciary duty. Further, each Loan Party also hereby acknowledges that (i) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank has advised, nor is it advising such Loan Party as to any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax matters, and that each Loan Party is consulting its own advisors concerning such matters to the extent it deems appropriate and (ii) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with one or more Loan Party’s interests.

Section 10.27 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Solely to the extent any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution is a party to this agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Annex I

Applicable Margin

Revolving Loans

Average Daily Borrowing Availability	Revolving Loans
	Eurodollar			ABR
Level I: ≥$220,000,000		1.25	%		0.25	%
Level II: <$220,000,000 but ≥ $110,000,000		1.50	%		0.50	%
Level III: <$110,000,000		1.75	%		0.75	%

Changes in the Applicable Margin will be based on the Average Daily Borrowing Availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter and shall be calculated on the first day of each fiscal quarter. Each change in the Applicable Margin shall be effective with respect to all Loans and Letters of Credit prospectively on the first day of each fiscal quarter based on the Average Daily Borrowing Availability for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Margin shall be deemed to be in Level II (i) until the end of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date and (ii) at any time during which the Borrowers have failed to deliver the Borrowing Base Certificate required by Section 5.18(a).

In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected would have led to a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period; (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the corrected Compliance Certificate (but in no event shall the Lenders owe any amounts to the Borrowers); and (iii) the Borrowers shall retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent the additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that such shortfall shall be due and payable within five Business Days after delivery of such corrected Compliance Certificate and no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of such non-payment until the expiration of such five Business Day period.
