Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 21, 2018, Kennametal Inc. (the “Company”) and Kennametal Europe GmbH, a Swiss limited liability company and wholly-owned foreign subsidiary of the Company (“Kennametal Europe”), entered into an unsecured $700 million five-year Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited, as euro swingline lender, PNC Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agents, Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Mizuho Bank, Ltd., as co-documentation agents and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Agreement amends, restates and replaces the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 15, 2016, among the Company and Kennametal Europe, with the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto.

In addition to the Agreement, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have and in the future may from time to time engage in ordinary course banking and financial activities with some of the lenders party to the Agreement (or their affiliates) and pay fees to such persons. Similarly, as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have in the past entered and in the future may from time to time enter into foreign currency and interest rate hedging arrangements with counterparties. Existing counterparties include and future counterparties may include one or more of the lenders party to the Agreement (or their affiliates).

The Agreement contains a revolving loan feature that permits the Company to borrow and repay, and reborrow and repay, certain Dollar Revolving Loans (including ABR Loans and Eurocurrency Loans) and/or Multicurrency Loans (based in euros, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars and Japanese Yen, and subject to multicurrency borrowing limitations based on such loans’ respective U.S. Dollar equivalents) at the Company’s option. The Agreement also permits the Company to borrow in the form of swingline loans (comparatively short-term cash borrowings, denominated in dollars or euros), as well as to obtain Letters of Credit (including standby or trade letters of credit, bank guaranties or other similar forms of credit).

The $700 million borrowing capacity under the Agreement has sublimits as follows: $50 million in Letters of Credit, $100 million for Swingline Loans ($75 million sublimit for the Company and $25 million sublimit for Kennametal Europe), and $300 million for multicurrency borrowings. The sublimit for loans to foreign borrowers is set at $250 million. Further, the borrowing capacity under the Agreement may be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed $300 million at the Company’s request if the existing lenders agree to increase their commitments or if the Company adds additional lenders. All borrowings may be prepaid without penalty by the Company under certain circumstances, and all outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest must be repaid not later than the Termination Date of June 21, 2023, or any earlier acceleration of such maturity pursuant to the terms thereof following the occurrence of an event of default or in compliance with the applicable repayment or termination provisions of each borrowing feature provided for in the Agreement.

The Agreement also contains various affirmative and negative covenants, among other terms and conditions, including financial covenants that require that the Company maintain on a rolling four quarter basis (1) a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.5:1 and (2) a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of not more than 3.5:1, with temporary adjustments to this requirement in certain circumstance in connection with up to two qualified acquisitions. Further, the Consolidated EBITDA definition used in these financial covenants has been modified to permit up to $80 million in aggregate cash restructuring charges to be added back during the period commencing with the Company’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018 through December 31, 2021, and covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, liens, fundamental changes, transactions with affiliates, clauses restricting subsidiary distributions, off-balance sheet financings, disposition of property, acquisitions and investments, sanctions and anti-corruption laws, delivery of financial information, maintenance of properties, continuation of business and notices.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay specified facilities fees, which will vary on a percentage basis determined in accordance with a Pricing Grid set forth in the Agreement depending on the Company’s then applicable Debt Rating, and fees related to standby and trade letters of credit, in addition to interest accruing on borrowings.

Under the Agreement, Company borrowings will bear interest as follows:

•

ABR Loans — A rate per annum equal to the ABR determined for such date, plus the ABR Applicable Margin as set forth in the Pricing Grid.

•

Eurocurrency Loans and Multicurrency Loans — A Eurocurrency Rate plus the Eurocurrency Applicable Margin as set forth in the Pricing Grid.

•

Swingline Loans — At the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus the Swingline Applicable Margin as set forth in the Pricing Grid, or, so long as the Lenders have not funded their participation obligations in any such Swingline Loans, at a rate agreed to by the Company and the Swingline Lender plus the Swingline Applicable Margin.

•

Euro Swingline Loans — At the Quoted Rate, plus the Swingline Applicable Margin as set forth in the Pricing Grid.

•

Letters of Credit — At the applicable fee rate with respect to the type of letter of credit as set forth in the Pricing Grid.

The applicable margins and rates depend upon the Debt Rating in effect at the time of such borrowing set forth in the Pricing Grid.

The Company’s significant domestic subsidiary has, pursuant to the Agreement, entered into a guarantee agreement for the benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to which such guarantor-subsidiary has irrevocably guaranteed the payment and performance of the Company’s obligations under the Agreement. The Company and this subsidiary have also guaranteed the payment and performance of the foreign borrower(s) under the Agreement.

The Agreement also contains customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest and other amounts due under the Agreement, defaults on other indebtedness of the Company and certain subsidiaries thereof, which indebtedness exceeds $75 million in the aggregate, any subsidiary guarantee (discussed above) ceasing to be effective (subject to certain exclusions), breaches of representations and warranties, change of control events, certain events with respect to pension plans, bankruptcy, the entry of unstayed judgments in excess of $75 million in the aggregate and breaches of covenants. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, under certain circumstances, the obligations of the Company under the Agreement may become due and payable immediately either automatically or following an action taken by the Administrative Agent at the direction, or with the consent, of the majority Lenders.

The foregoing description of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

The Agreement is being filed herewith solely to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to be a source of financial, business or operational information about the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Agreement are made solely for purposes of the Agreement and are made as of specific dates; are solely for the benefit of the parties; may be subject to qualifications and limitations agreed upon by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Agreement, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors or security holders. Investors and security holders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

Each such Swingline Loan Notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date, specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed and (B) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swingline Loan Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed borrowing of the Swingline Loan (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in the Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in

Each such Euro Swingline Loan Notice must be received by the Euro Swingline Lender not later than 12:00 P.M. (Noon), London time, on the proposed Borrowing Date, specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed and (B) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Euro Swingline Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of the Foreign Currency Equivalent for Euros of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Unless the Euro Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., London Time, on the date of the proposed borrowing of the Euro Swingline Loan (A) directing the Euro Swingline Lender not to make such Euro Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2.4(c), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Borrowing Date specified in the Euro Swingline Loan Notice in respect of the relevant Euro Swingline Loan, the Euro Swingline Lender shall make available to an account designated by the applicable Foreign Borrower in such Euro Swingline Loan Notice an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Euro Swingline Loan to be made by the Euro Swingline Lender.

(b) Each of the Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may (and, in any event, on the tenth (10th) Business Day after any Swingline Loan or Euro Swingline Loan is made to the applicable Borrower, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be, shall), on behalf of the applicable Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be, to act on its behalf), on two Business Day’s written notice (which notice shall be given at least two Business Days prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after any Swingline Loan or Euro Swingline Loan is made to the applicable Borrower) given by the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Lender (or in the case of a Euro Swingline Loan, each Multicurrency Lender) to make, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.2 (without regard to the minimums and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Dollar Revolving Loans or Multicurrency Loans, as the case may be, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2), and each Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as the case may be, hereby agrees to make, a Dollar Revolving Loan or, in the case of a Euro Swingline Loan, a Multicurrency Loan denominated in Euros, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage (or, in the case of a Euro Swingline Loan, such

Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Percentage) of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans or the Euro Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Dollar Revolving Loan or such Multicurrency Loan denominated in Euros, as the case may be, available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, for application to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Company and each Foreign Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, to charge the applicable Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full relevant Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Dollar Revolving Loan or a Multicurrency Loan, as the case may be, would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.5(b), one of the events described in Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, in its sole discretion, Dollar Revolving Loans or Multicurrency Loans, as the case may be, may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.5(b), each Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as applicable, shall, on the date such Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.5(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans, as the case may be, by paying to the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Revolving Percentage or such Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Percentage, as applicable, times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans or the Euro Swingline Loans, as applicable, then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Loans.

(d) (i) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, has received from any Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, receives any payment on account of its Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans, as the case may be, such Person will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Swingline Loans or the Euro Swingline Loans, as applicable, then due) in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan or Euro Swingline Loan, as applicable, is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, under any of the circumstances described in

Section 9.7A (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, in its discretion), each Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as applicable, shall pay to the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, its Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable. The obligations of the Lenders and the Multicurrency Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.5(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrowers (or any of them) may have against any Swingline Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender, the Company, the other Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 4; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers (or any of them); (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(f) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be, any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Person at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any applicable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Person in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender or Multicurrency Lender, as applicable, pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Loan or such Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Loan, as applicable, or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan or Euro Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.5(f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to increase or decrease the Swingline Commitment or the Euro Swingline Commitment, as the case may be, by reducing and

reallocating by an equivalent amount all or a portion of the Swingline Commitment or the Euro Swingline Commitment, as applicable; provided, that, in no event shall (x) the Euro Swingline Commitment exceed $25,000,000 at any time or (y) the aggregate amount of the Swingline Commitment and the Euro Swingline Commitment exceed $100,000,000 at any time. All such reallocations shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000. In the event of a reallocation of the Swingline Commitment and the Euro Swingline Commitment as described in the foregoing sentence, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the parties hereto to change the definitions of “Swingline Commitment” and the “Euro Swingline Commitment” herein to provide for the reallocations thereof. The Administrative Agent shall (i) notify each of the Lenders promptly after receiving any notice of a reallocation under this Section 2.5(g) and (ii) promptly upon the effectiveness of any such reallocation, distribute to the Lenders any change to the definitions of “Swingline Commitment” and the “Euro Swingline Commitment”. In the event of a reallocation of the Swingline Commitment or the Euro Swingline Commitment as described above, upon the request of any Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender, the applicable Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Person (through the Administrative Agent) a Note reflecting such reallocations.

(h) The Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline Lender shall each be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrowers for interest on the Swingline Loans and the Euro Swingline Loans. Until each Lender or Multicurrency Lender funds its Dollar Revolving Loans or its Multicurrency Loans or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.5 to refinance such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of any Swingline Loan or such Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Percentage of any Euro Swingline Loan, as applicable, interest in respect of such Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable.

(i) The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans and the Euro Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable.

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

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

(iii) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the applicable Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.37(a)(v)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion;

(iv) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or

(v) the outstanding L/C Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed the Issuing Lender Sublimit of such Issuing Lender.

(c) Each Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 8 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 8 included

each Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Lenders.

(d) On the Closing Date, (i) the Company shall provide Schedule 2.6, which Schedule shall list the Designated Letters of Credit, (ii) such Designated Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 2.6, (iii) the face amount of such Designated Letters of Credit shall be included in the calculation of the available L/C Commitment and the Outstanding Extensions of Credit, (iv) the provisions of this Agreement shall apply thereto, and the Company and the Lenders hereunder hereby expressly assume all obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit that they would have if such Letters of Credit had been issued pursuant to this Agreement and (v) all liabilities of the Company with respect to such Designated Letters of Credit shall constitute obligations of the Company hereunder.

2.7. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the applicable Borrower delivered to the applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of an Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Such Application may be sent by facsimile, by mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable Issuing Lender, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender. Such Application must be received by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or amendment date, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such information as required by such Issuing Lender for the proposed Letter of Credit. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender such information as required by such Issuing Lender for the proposed amendment of such outstanding Letter of Credit. Additionally, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may require.

(b) Promptly after receipt of any Application, the applicable Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, the applicable Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable Issuing Lender has received written notice from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s

usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuing Lender a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(c) If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Application, the applicable Issuing Lender agrees to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided, that, any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than five Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that, such Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (i) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.6(a) or Section 2.6(b) or otherwise), or (ii) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

(d) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

2.8. L/C Participation.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by each Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which any Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the relevant Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the related Reimbursement Obligation shall be converted to Dollars in accordance with Section 2.9 and such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent upon demand at the Administrative Agent’s address for notices

specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If such Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Lender by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of ABR Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.1 for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Total Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. Any notice given by an Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8 may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided, that, the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a) in respect of any Unreimbursed Amount under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the Overnight Rate, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360, plus any applicable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 2.8(a) is not made available to such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, plus any applicable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.8 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.8(a) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Funding Office in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(d), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to the relevant Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Lender.

(d) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a borrowing of ABR Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Lender an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.20(d). In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(c) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.8.

(e) Until each Lender funds its ABR Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.8 to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Lender.

(f) Each Lender’s obligation to make an ABR Loan or L/C Advances to reimburse each Issuing Lenders for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.8, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that, each Lender’s obligation to make ABR Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(g) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8 by the time specified in Section 2.8(c), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the applicable Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the applicable Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s ABR Loan included in the relevant extension of credit under Section 2.1 or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of any Issuing Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause 2.8(g) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.8A. Repayment of Participations.

(a) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 2.8(a), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the Unreimbursed Amount (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.7A (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the applicable Issuing Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

2.9. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such Issuing Lender notifies such Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment other than Excluded Taxes. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its address for notices referred to herein in the relevant currency and in immediately available funds, unless (x) the applicable Issuing Lender (at its option) shall have specified in its notice to the applicable Borrower that it will require reimbursement in Dollars or (y) in the absence of any such requirement that such Borrower reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars, such Borrower shall have notified the applicable Issuing Lender promptly following the notice of drawing that such Borrower will reimburse such Issuing Lender in Dollars; provided, that, in the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of any Letter or Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Exchange Rate for Dollars and the Foreign Currency used for payment of such Letter of Credit as of the date of the payment of the draft presented under such Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender with respect to the amount of the drawing in the Foreign Currency promptly following the determination thereof. If the applicable Borrower does not reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any draft paid by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in a Foreign Currency on the date required pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.9, such Issuing Lender shall convert such Reimbursement Obligation into Dollars at the rate of exchange then available to such Issuing Lender in the interbank market where its foreign currency exchange operations in respect of such Foreign Currency are then being conducted and such Borrower shall thereafter be required to reimburse such Issuing Lender in Dollars for such Reimbursement Obligation (in the amount so converted). Subject to the next succeeding sentence, interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the

Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.20(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.20(d). Interest shall be payable on any such amounts denominated in a Foreign Currency from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full or conversion to Dollars as provided herein at the rate determined by the applicable Issuing Lender as its cost of funding such payment.

2.10. Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement to reimburse each Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the following:

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

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

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

(d) waiver by such Issuing Lender of any requirement that exists for such Issuing Lender’s protection and not the protection of the applicable Borrower or any waiver by such Issuing Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice the applicable Borrower;

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

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

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

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

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

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

2.12. Applications; Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability.

(a) To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by any Issuing Lender and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to a Designated 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 Trade Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be responsible to the applicable Borrower for, and each Issuing Lender’s rights and remedies against the applicable Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade—International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

2.13. Certain Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Lender will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (a) on the fifth Business Day prior to the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, the aggregate stated amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business Day of the preceding week and (b) on or prior to each Business Day on which an Issuing Lender expects to issue, renew or amend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, renewal or amendment and the aggregate stated amount of Letters of Credit to be issued by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance or amendment (and such Issuing Lender shall advise the Administrative Agent on such

Business Day whether such issuance, renewal or amendment occurred and whether the amount thereof changed).

2.13A. Role of Issuing Lenders. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, none of the Issuing Lenders shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (a) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (b) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (c) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that, this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (h) of Section 2.10; provided, however, that, anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, such Borrower may have a claim against the applicable Issuing Lender, and such Issuing Lender may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to special, indirect, punitive, consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Any Issuing Lender may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

2.14. Fees and Other Charges, etc.

(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.37, a facility fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Commitment Period, computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the actual daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether or not utilized) during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the later of the Termination Date and the date the Commitments have been terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, all fees and all other expenses or amounts payable under this Agreement shall have been paid in

full. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Lender continues to have any Outstanding Extensions of Credit after its Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Outstanding Extensions of Credit from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Outstanding Extensions of Credit.

(b) The applicable Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fees”) issued for the account of such Borrower at a per annum rate equal to the Standby Letter of Credit Fee Rate or the Trade Letter of Credit Fee Rate, as applicable, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum amount available to be drawn (as then in effect) under such Letter of Credit shared ratably among the Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date; provided, that, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.36 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Revolving Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.37(a)(v), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.4. If there is any change in the Standby Letter of Credit Fee Rate or the Trade Letter of Credit Fee Rate, as applicable, during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Standby Letter of Credit Fee Rate or the Trade Letter of Credit Fee Rate, as applicable, separately for each period during such quarter that such Standby Letter of Credit Fee Rate or the Trade Letter of Credit Fee Rate, as applicable, was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the interest rate set forth in Section 2.20(d). The Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at the rate specified in the applicable Fee Letter (or such other rate separately agreed between the applicable Borrower and applicable Issuing Lender), computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the applicable Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such increase and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the applicable Fee Letter, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and payable on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on each L/C Payment Date and thereafter on demand.

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

and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable absent manifest error.

(d) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by the Company and the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, pursuant to any Fee Letter).

2.15 Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Commitments.

(a) The Company shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided, that, no such termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Outstanding Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect. Any reduction of the Total Commitments to an amount below the Multicurrency Sublimit then in effect shall result in an automatic dollar-for-dollar reduction of the Multicurrency Sublimit. Any reduction of the Total Commitments shall result in an automatic pro rata reduction of the Aggregate Foreign Sublimit then in effect or as otherwise directed by the Company and approved by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Following the Closing Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Company may request that the Total Commitments and, at the Company’s option, the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Subcommitments, be increased and, upon such request, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to solicit additional financial institutions to become Lenders for purposes of this Agreement, or to encourage any Lender to increase its Commitment and, if applicable, its Multicurrency Subcommitment; provided, that, (i) each Lender which is a party to this Agreement prior to such increase shall have the first option, and may elect, to fund its pro rata share of the amount of the requested increase in the Total Commitment and, if applicable, the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Subcommitments (or any such greater amount in the event that one or more Lenders does not elect to fund its respective pro rata share of the amount of the requested increase in the Total Commitments and, if applicable, its Multicurrency Subcommitment), thereby increasing its Commitment and, if applicable, its Multicurrency Subcommitment hereunder, but no Lender shall have any obligation to do so; (ii) in the event that it becomes necessary to include a new financial institution to fund the amount of the requested increase in the Total Commitments and, if applicable, the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Subcommitments, each such financial institution shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Company (each such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) and each such financial institution shall become a Lender hereunder and agree to become party to, and shall assume and agree to be bound by, this Agreement, subject to all terms and conditions hereof; (iii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to any Borrower or to any Lender to solicit additional financial institutions or any increase in the Total Commitments and, if applicable, the Multicurrency Subcommitment of any Lender

pursuant to this Section 2.15(b); (iv) in connection with any increase in the Multicurrency Subcommitment, such increase may, at the Company’s option, be dollar for dollar with any increase in the Total Commitments or in some lesser proportion thereof; and (v) in no event shall the addition of any Lender or Lenders or the increase in the Commitment of any Lender under this Section 2.15(b) increase the Total Commitments to an amount greater than $1,000,000,000. Upon the addition of any Lender, or the increase in the Commitment of any Lender, Schedule 1.1 shall be amended by the Administrative Agent and the Company to reflect such addition or such increase, and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the Company copies of such Schedule 1.1. If, at any time that the Commitments are increased pursuant to this Section 2.15(b), there are Loans then outstanding or L/C Obligations, each new Lender, and each existing Lender that has increased its Commitment, shall purchase Loans and L/C Obligations from each other Lender in an amount such that, after such purchase or purchases, the amount of outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations from each Lender shall equal such Lender’s respective Revolving Percentage, as modified to give effect to such increase, multiplied by the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding and L/C Obligations from all Lenders. To the extent that any outstanding Loans bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate, the Borrowers shall pay any additional costs described in Section 2.26 incurred by any Lender.

2.16 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Each Borrower may, upon delivery of a Notice of Loan Prepayment to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans (other than Multicurrency Loans) outstanding to such Borrower, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided, that, such Notice of Loan Prepayment must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, and not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans. Each such Notice of Loan Prepayment shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or ABR Loans; provided, that, if a Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.26. Upon receipt of any Notice of Loan Prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any Notice of Loan Prepayment is given, the amount specified in such Notice of Loan Prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Dollar Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

(b) Each Borrower may, upon delivery of a Notice of Loan Prepayment to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time prepay Multicurrency Loans outstanding to such Borrower, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided, that, such Notice of Loan Prepayment must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than

3:00 P.M., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment (or four Business Days in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in a Yen) specifying the date and amount of prepayment. Upon receipt of any Notice of Loan Prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Multicurrency Lender thereof. If any such Notice of Loan Prepayment is given, the amount specified in such Notice of Loan Prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.26 and accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Multicurrency Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of (w) £1,000,000 or a whole multiple of £100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Multicurrency Loans denominated in Sterling, (x) €1,000,000 or a whole multiple or €100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Multicurrency Loans denominated in Euros, (y) C$1,000,000 or a whole multiple or C$100,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Multicurrency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, and (z) Y100,000,000 or a whole multiple or Y10,000,000 in excess thereof, in the case of Multicurrency Loans denominated in Yen.

2.17 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If, on any Calculation Date, (i) the Total Outstanding Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Foreign Borrower Exposure of all Foreign Borrowers exceeds 105% of the Aggregate Foreign Sublimit then in effect, or (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the Multicurrency Loans outstanding on such date exceeds 105% of the Multicurrency Sublimit on such date, the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay such of the outstanding Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, (x) the Total Outstanding Extensions of Credit do not exceed the Total Commitments, (y) the aggregate Foreign Borrower Exposure of all Foreign Borrowers does not exceed the Aggregate Foreign Sublimit then in effect and (z) the Dollar Equivalent of the Multicurrency Loans outstanding on such date is equal to or less than the Multicurrency Sublimit on such date, together with interest accrued to the date of such payment or prepayment on the principal so prepaid and any amounts payable under Section 2.26 in connection therewith. Any prepayment of Dollar Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied to prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Borrower may in lieu of prepaying Multicurrency Loans outstanding to such Borrower in order to comply with this paragraph deposit amounts in the relevant Foreign Currencies in a Cash Collateral Account, for the benefit of the Multicurrency Lenders, equal to the aggregate principal amount of Multicurrency Loans of such Borrower required to be prepaid. To the extent that after giving effect to any prepayment of Loans required by this paragraph, the Total Outstanding Extensions of Credit at such time exceed the Total Commitments at such time, the Company or the applicable Foreign Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately deposit in a Cash Collateral Account, for the benefit of the Lenders, upon terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of such remaining excess. The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in any Cash Collateral Account (to the extent thereof) to pay any Reimbursement Obligations which are or become due thereafter and/or to repay Multicurrency Loans at the end of the Interest Periods therefor, as the case may be; provided, that, (x) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall release to the relevant Borrower from time to time such portion of the amount on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account by such Borrower to the extent such amount is not required to be so deposited in order for the Borrowers to be in compliance with this Section

2.17 and (y) the Administrative Agent may so apply such cash at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. “Cash Collateral Account” means an account specifically established by the Borrowers with the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Section 2.17 and hereby pledged to the Administrative Agent and over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this Section 2.17. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts paid by any Foreign Borrower shall be applied solely to the Loans of such Foreign Borrower or the Reimbursement Obligations of such Foreign Borrower or deposited in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of Multicurrency Loans of such Foreign Borrower or in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower.

(b) If any prepayment occurs pursuant to this Section 2.17 on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.26.

2.18. Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) Each of the Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert (i) Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day prior to the date of conversion; provided, that, any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto and (ii) ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election (which shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor) not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date of conversion, which notice, in each case of clause (i) and (ii), may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Conversion/Continuation Notice; provided, that, any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of Conversion/Continuation Notice. No ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such Conversion/Continuation Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the relevant Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be given by (i) telephone or (ii) a Conversion/Continuation Notice; provided, that, any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Conversion/Continuation Notice), in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided, that, no Eurocurrency Loan denominated in Dollars may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; provided, further, that, if any Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso any such Loans denominated

in Dollars shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and, if any Borrower shall fail to give such notice of continuation of a Multicurrency Loan, such Multicurrency Loan shall be automatically continued for an Interest Period of one month. Upon receipt of any Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.19. Limitations on Eurocurrency Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that no more than 15 Eurocurrency Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.20. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

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

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

(c) (i) Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus the Swingline Applicable Margin (or, so long as the Lenders have not funded their participation obligations in any such Swingline Loans, at a rate agreed to by the Company and the Swingline Lender plus the Swingline Applicable Margin); and

(ii) Euro Swingline Loans shall bear interest at the Quoted Rate, plus the Swingline Applicable Margin.

(d) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.20 plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any facility fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% (unless such overdue amount is denominated in a Foreign Currency, in which case such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate then applicable under this Agreement to Multicurrency Loans denominated in such Foreign Currency plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto; provided, that, interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.20(d) shall be payable from time to time on demand. Interest shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and

after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.21 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to (i) ABR Loans, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed and (ii) Multicurrency Loans denominated in Sterling or Canadian Dollars, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the applicable Borrowers and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the applicable Borrowers and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided, that, any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.23(c), bear interest for one day.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrowers and the relevant Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.20(a).

2.22 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a Eurocurrency Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed ABR Loan,

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

(c) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that deposits in the applicable currency are not generally available, or cannot be obtained by the relevant Lenders, in the applicable market (any Foreign Currency affected by the circumstances described in clause (a), (b) or (c) is referred to as an “Affected Foreign Currency”),

the Administrative Agent shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrowers and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (y) pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.22 in respect of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, then (i) any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars shall be continued as ABR Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans and (z) in respect of any Multicurrency Loans, then (i) any Multicurrency Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall not be made and (ii) any outstanding Multicurrency Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency shall be due and payable on the first day of such Interest Period. In the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the ABR, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the ABR shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders or the Required Multicurrency Lenders, as the case may be) revokes such notice. Until such relevant notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or Multicurrency Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars.

2.23 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Subject to Section 2.31, (i) each borrowing by any Borrower of Dollar Revolving Loans from the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Borrowing Percentages of the relevant Lenders, (ii) each payment by any Borrower on account of any facility fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders and (iii) each borrowing by any Borrower of Multicurrency Loans from the Multicurrency Lenders hereunder and any reduction of the Multicurrency Subcommitments of the Multicurrency Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Multicurrency Percentages of the Multicurrency Lenders.

(b) Subject to Section 2.31, (i) each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Dollar Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Dollar Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders and (ii) each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Multicurrency Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Multicurrency Loans then held by the Multicurrency Lenders.

(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without deduction for any defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at its Funding Office, in Dollars (based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of fees payable under Section 2.14(b) with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currencies) and in immediately available funds (or, in the case of principal or interest relating to Multicurrency

Loans, prior to 3:00 P.M., London time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Multicurrency Lenders, at its Funding Office, in the relevant Foreign Currency and in immediately available funds). The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the Overnight Rate, plus any applicable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover (i) in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the applicable Borrower or (ii) in the case of amounts denominated in Foreign Currencies, such amount with interest thereon at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount, on demand, from the applicable Borrower. If the applicable Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by such Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. Any notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the applicable Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by such Borrower hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower is making such payment, and the

Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the applicable Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each relevant Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrowers or any of them. Any notice of the Administrative Agent to any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(f) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 8.7 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 8.7 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loans, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 8.7.

(g) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable credit extension set forth in Section 4 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(h) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.24 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall:

(i) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (c) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(ii) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any

other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate; or

(iii) impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the applicable Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, that, the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the applicable Borrowers of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the applicable Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the applicable Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided, that, the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the applicable Borrowers of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(c) If any Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction of any Foreign Currency (or any other jurisdiction in which the funding operations of any Multicurrency Lender shall be conducted with respect to such Foreign Currency) shall have in effect any reserve, liquid asset or similar requirement with respect to any category of deposits or liabilities customarily used to fund loans in such Foreign Currency, or by reference to which interest rates applicable to loans in such Foreign Currency are determined, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to such Multicurrency Lender of making or maintaining any Multicurrency Loan in such Foreign Currency, and such Multicurrency Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrowers a notice requesting compensation under this paragraph, then the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Multicurrency Lender on each Interest Payment Date with respect to each affected

Multicurrency Loan an amount that will compensate such Multicurrency Lender for such additional cost; provided, that, the applicable Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Multicurrency Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Multicurrency Lender notifies the applicable Borrowers of such Multicurrency Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

(d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.24 submitted by any Lender to the applicable Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of any one or more Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, (i) (A) the adoption of any law, rule or regulation after the date of this Agreement, (B) any change in any law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority after the date of this Agreement or (C) compliance by any Lender with any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority made or issued after the date of this Agreement, shall make it unlawful for any such Multicurrency Lender to make or maintain any Multicurrency Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Multicurrency Loan, or (ii) there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls, but excluding conditions otherwise covered by this Section 2.24) which would make it impracticable for the Required Multicurrency Lenders to make or maintain Multicurrency Loans denominated in the relevant currency after the Closing Date to, or for the account of, any Borrower, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Multicurrency Lender or Multicurrency Lenders may declare that Multicurrency Loans (in the affected currency or currencies) will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Multicurrency Lender or Multicurrency Lenders hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods), whereupon any request for a Multicurrency Loan (in the affected currency or currencies) or to continue a Multicurrency Loan (in the affected currency or currencies), as the case may be, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Multicurrency Lender or Multicurrency Lenders only, be of no force and effect, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Multicurrency Lender may require that all outstanding Multicurrency Loans (in the affected currency or currencies), made by it be converted to ABR Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be (unless repaid by the relevant Borrowers), in which event all such Multicurrency Loans (in the affected currency or currencies) shall be converted to ABR Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (g) below and at the Exchange Rate on the date of such conversion or, at the

option of the relevant Borrower, repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or, if earlier, the date on which the applicable notice becomes effective.

In the event any Multicurrency Lender shall exercise its rights under clauses (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted Multicurrency Loans of such Multicurrency Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans or Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, made by such Multicurrency Lender resulting from such conversion.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Lender shall be obligated to make any Loan to a Foreign Borrower, and no Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue, extend or renew a Letter of Credit for the account of any Foreign Borrower, if (i) the adoption of any law, rule or regulation after the date of this Agreement, (ii) any change in any law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority after the date of this Agreement or (iii) compliance by any Lender with any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority made or issued after the date of this Agreement, shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make such Loan to a Foreign Borrower or such Issuing Lender to issue, extend or renew a Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower.

(f) For purposes of Section 2.24(e), a notice to the Borrowers by any Lender shall be effective as to each Loan to a Foreign Borrower or Multicurrency Loan made by such Multicurrency Lender, as the case may be, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to the Loans to such Foreign Borrower or such Multicurrency Loan, as the case may be; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Borrowers.

(g) The obligations of the Foreign Borrowers under this Section 2.24 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.35.

2.25 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(iii) If any of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.25) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, but subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, each Borrower shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.25) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall preclude any Borrower from taking any and all steps at its own expense to contest or seek a refund of any Indemnified Taxes that such Borrower

believes in good faith to have been erroneously imposed or assessed and to retain any refund so obtained. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Borrower shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or any Issuing Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 2.25(c)(ii) below.

(ii) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Borrower to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and each Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and each Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.25, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation (and information) prescribed by applicable Law or the taxing authorities of a jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative

Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation either (A) set forth in Section 2.25(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below or (B) required by applicable Law other than the Code or the taxing authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable Law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

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

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

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

withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

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

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of properly completed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(5) executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

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

the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after Closing Date, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.25 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender shall promptly take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or any Issuing Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be. If any Recipient receives a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.25, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.25 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (included Taxes) incurred by such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that, the Borrowers, upon the request of the Recipient, agree to repay the

amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(g) Survival. The agreements in this Section 2.25 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.26. Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense relating to changes in interest rates that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be exclusive of administrative costs and expenses and may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the applicable margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurocurrency market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.26 submitted to the relevant Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.27. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.24 or 2.25 with respect to such Lender or Issuing Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another Lending Office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that, such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender or Issuing Lender, cause such Lender or Issuing Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided, further, that, nothing in this Section 2.27 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the any Borrower or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.25.

2.28. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.25, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, (c) is a Lender that does not approve any consent, waiver or amendment that (x) requires the approval of all Lenders or all affected Lenders (and such Lender is an affected Lender) in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 and (y) has been approved by the Required Lenders or (d) cannot make Loans to a Foreign Borrower as a result of the circumstances described in the last paragraph of Section 2.24(e) or the second proviso in Section 2.33(a), with a replacement financial institution; provided, that, (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.27 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.25, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par (unless the Lender being replaced otherwise agrees in its discretion), all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the relevant Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.26 if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 ( provided, that, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the relevant Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.24 or 2.25, as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

2.29. Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of any Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the applicable Borrowers as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of each Borrower contained in this Section 2.29 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

2.30. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate.

(a) No later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on each Calculation Date with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to such Foreign Currency; provided, that, upon receipt of a borrowing request pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate with respect to the relevant Foreign Currency on the related Calculation Date (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall use such Exchange Rate for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 2.1 with respect to such borrowing request). The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 2.9, 2.14(b), 2.24(e), 2.29 and any other provision requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and Foreign Currencies.

(b) No later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on each Reset Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of the principal amounts of the relevant Multicurrency Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any Multicurrency Loans to be made or repaid on such date).

2.31. Certain Borrowings of Dollar Revolving Loans and Refunding of Multicurrency Loans.

(a) If on any Borrowing Date on which a Borrower has requested the Multicurrency Lenders to make Multicurrency Loans (the “Requested Multicurrency Loans”), (i) the principal amount of the Requested Multicurrency Loans to be made by any Multicurrency Lender exceeds the Available Commitment of such Multicurrency Lender (before giving effect to the making and payment of any Dollar Revolving Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.31 on such Borrowing Date), (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of such Requested Multicurrency Loans, when added to the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding principal amount of all other Multicurrency Loans, does not exceed the Multicurrency Sublimit and (iii) the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the excess described in the foregoing clause (i) is less than or equal to the Available Commitments of the Lenders (before giving effect to the making and payment of any Loans pursuant to this Section 2.31 on such Borrowing Date), each Lender (other than Multicurrency Lenders) shall make a Dollar Revolving Loan to such Borrower on such Borrowing Date in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the proceeds of such Dollar Revolving Loans shall be simultaneously applied to repay outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans of such Multicurrency Lenders in each case in amounts such that, after giving effect to (1) such borrowings and repayments and (2) the borrowing from such Multicurrency Lenders of the Requested Multicurrency Loans, the excess described in the foregoing clause (i) will be eliminated. To effect such borrowings and repayments, (x) not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on such Borrowing Date, the proceeds of such Dollar Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars shall be made available by each Lender (other than the Multicurrency Lenders) to the

Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of such Dollar Revolving Loans toward repayment of outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans of such Multicurrency Lenders and (y) concurrently with the repayment of such Dollar Revolving Loans on such Borrowing Date, (A) such Multicurrency Lenders shall, in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, make the Requested Multicurrency Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount so requested by the applicable Borrower and (B) the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Multicurrency Lenders whose Dollar Revolving Loans to such Borrower are repaid on such Borrowing Date pursuant to this Section 2.31 all interest accrued on the amounts repaid to the date of repayment, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.26 in connection with such repayment.

(b) If any borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans is required pursuant to this Section 2.31, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in the manner provided for Dollar Revolving Loans in Section 2.2(a), except that the minimum borrowing amounts and threshold multiples in excess thereof applicable to ABR Loans set forth in subsection 2.2(a) shall not be applicable to the extent that such minimum borrowing amounts exceed the amounts of Dollar Revolving Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.31.

2.32. Evidence of Debt. The Loans and other extensions of credit made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans and other extensions of credit made by the Lenders to each Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of each Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. If any Lender requests (through the Administrative Agent) a Note from any Borrower, such Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans to such Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. In addition to the accounts and records referred to above, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit, Euro Swingline Loans and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.33. Addition of Foreign Borrowers; Termination of Foreign Borrowers.

(a) The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period (but in no event less than 7 Business Days) as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any wholly-owned Foreign Subsidiary of the Company (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Foreign

Borrower to receive Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit K (a “Foreign Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”), which shall specify, among other things, the notice address of such Applicant Borrower and information of the type described in Section 9.16 with respect to the Applicant Borrower; provided, that, the Aggregate Foreign Sublimit shall not exceed $250,000,000; provided, further, that, no Applicant Borrower shall become a Foreign Borrower hereunder if any Lender, within 7 Business Days’ of receipt by the Lenders of a Foreign Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement with respect to such Applicant Borrower, shall determine in good faith that it is unlawful, or any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans to such Applicant Borrower or to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Applicant Borrower. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities as a Foreign Borrower as provided for herein the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information (including an affirmation of the Company Guarantee by the Company and the execution of any applicable Issuing Lender Agreement by such Applicant Borrower), in each case in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, and Notes signed by such new Foreign Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so request. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions specified herein, an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans and Letters of Credit as a Foreign Borrower hereunder, and promptly following receipt of (x) all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under the applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act and a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Applicant Borrower and (y) all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel, and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit L (a “Foreign Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Foreign Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Foreign Borrower to receive Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Foreign Borrower otherwise shall be a Foreign Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, that, no Borrowing Notices, Swingline Loan Notices or Applications may be submitted by or on behalf of such Foreign Borrower until the date 5 Business Days after such effective date.

(b) The Obligations of all Foreign Borrowers shall be several in nature. The Obligations of each of the Foreign Borrowers (including any Foreign Borrower which become a party to this Agreement after the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 2.33) shall be guaranteed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.34 and by each Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee.

(c) Each Foreign Subsidiary of the Company that is or becomes a “Foreign Borrower” pursuant to this Section 2.33 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and

certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders, to any such Foreign Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Foreign Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this clause (c), each Foreign Borrower shall have the right, individually, to request and receive Loans to be made to such Foreign Borrower and request and have Letters of Credit be issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower and to make payments in respect thereof, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 5 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Foreign Borrower’s status as such; provided, that, there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Foreign Borrower, or Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Foreign Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Foreign Borrower’s status.

(e) In such event that a Foreign Borrower is designated as such or its status as such is terminated pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.33, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the parties hereto to amend Schedule 1 to include or remove, as the case may be, each such Foreign Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Lenders an amended Schedule 1.

2.34. Guarantee by Company of Foreign Obligations.

(a) The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Foreign Obligations and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each Foreign Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Foreign Obligations of each such Foreign Borrower including, without limitation, the Obligations of each Foreign Borrower that becomes party to this Agreement after the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.33. This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Foreign Obligations and the obligations of each Foreign Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been satisfied by irrevocable payment in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding for the account of any Foreign Borrower and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement the Foreign Borrowers, or any of them, may be free from any Foreign Obligations.

(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the Company under this Section 2.34 shall in no event exceed the

amount that would render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law or other applicable Law. The Company agrees that the Foreign Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of the Company hereunder without impairing this guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations hereunder.

(c) No payment made by any Foreign Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations from any Foreign Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Foreign Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Company under this Section 2.34 which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by the Company in respect of the Foreign Obligations or any payment received or collected from the Company in respect of the Foreign Obligations), remain liable for all Foreign Obligations up to the maximum liability of the Company under this Section 2.34 until the Foreign Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding for the account of any Foreign Borrower and the Commitments are terminated.

(d) Notwithstanding any payment made by the Company hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of the Company by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations, the Company shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations against any Foreign Borrower or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations for the payment of the Foreign Obligations, nor shall the Company seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Foreign Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by such guarantor, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the other holders of the Foreign Obligations by each Foreign Borrower on account of the Foreign Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding for the account of any Foreign Borrower and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Company on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Foreign Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Company in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other holders of the Foreign Obligations, segregated from other funds of the Company, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Company, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Company (duly indorsed by the Company to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Foreign Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

(e) The Company shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Company and without notice to or further assent by the Company, any demand for payment of any of the Foreign Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such other holder of the Foreign Obligations and any of the Foreign Obligations continued, and the Foreign Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or

for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations for the payment of the Foreign Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other holder of the Foreign Obligations shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Foreign Obligations or for the guarantee in this Section 2.34 or any property subject thereto.

(f) The Company waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Foreign Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34. The Foreign Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon, the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34. All dealings between the Foreign Borrowers and the Company, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other holders of the Foreign Obligations, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34. The Company waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Foreign Borrowers with respect to the Foreign Obligations. The Company understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Foreign Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Foreign Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or such guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Foreign Borrower for the Foreign Obligations (or any of them), or of the Company under the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Foreign Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Foreign Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Foreign Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral

security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Foreign Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Company of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations against the Company. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(g) The guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Foreign Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other holder of the Foreign Obligations upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Foreign Borrower or any guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Foreign Borrower or any guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

(h) The Company hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in the relevant currency at the Funding Office.

(i) The Company acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of the guarantee contained in this Section 2.34 shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the other holders of the Foreign Obligations, be governed by this Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Company, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the other holders of the Foreign Obligations with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Company shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

2.35. Limitation of Certain Obligations of Foreign Borrowers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any fees, any expenses and any indemnification obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the obligations under Sections 2.24, 2.25, 2.26, 2.29, 9.5 and 9.7 of this Agreement each Foreign Borrower shall only be liable for such Foreign Borrower’s pro rata share thereof; provided, that, such Foreign Borrower shall only be liable for (a) fees under Sections 2.14(b) and (c) in respect of Letters of Credit which arise from Letters of Credit issued, extended or renewed for the account of such Foreign Borrower, and (b) indemnification costs under Section 2.26 which arise from Revolving Loans made to such Foreign Borrower.

2.36. Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Lender (i) if such Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under

any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of five days prior to the Termination Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all such L/C Borrowings or L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender or the Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.37(a)(v) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in a deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender and the Lenders (including the Euro Swingline Lender and the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.36(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.36 or Sections 2.6, 2.8, 2.8A, 2.17, 2.37 or Section 7 in respect of Letters of Credit, Euro Swingline Loans or Swingline Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Euro Swingline Loans or Swingline Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 9.6(b)(ii)(E))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.36 may be otherwise applied in accordance with the provisions contained herein), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender, Euro Swingline Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.37. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.1 and the definition of “Required Lender”.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan, Euro Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral

pursuant to this Section 2.37(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) That Defaulting Lender (x) shall be entitled to receive any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.14(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Extensions of Credit funded by it and (2) its Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the stated amount of Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Sections 2.6, 2.8, 2.8A, 2.17, 2.36 or 2.37, as applicable and (y) shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage, as applicable, of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Sections 2.6, 2.8, 2.8A, 2.17, 2.36 or 2.37, as applicable

(iv) With respect to any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.14(a) or any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clauses (iii)(x) or (iii)(y) above, the Borrowers, as applicable, shall (A) be required to pay each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans that has been relocated to such non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) below, (B) be required to pay to each of the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(v) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.4 through 2.13, the “Revolving Percentage” or “Multicurrency Revolving Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (B) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline Loans, as applicable, shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Extensions of Credit of that Lender.

(vi) If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans and Euro

Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s or Euro Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.36.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lenders agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Percentages and Multicurrency Revolving Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.37(a)(v)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except as provided in Section 9.19 or to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.38. LIBOR Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including Section 9.1 hereof), if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Company or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Company) that the Company or the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that: (a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (b) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or (c) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 2.38, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR, then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (a) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the ABR. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

2.39. Minimum Interest.

(a) When entering into this Agreement, the parties hereto have assumed in good faith that the interest payments are minimum interest payments not subject to Swiss Withholding Tax.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, if any deduction or withholding is required under the Laws of Switzerland, and should it be unlawful for a Swiss Borrower to comply with the tax

gross-up in Section 2.25 for any reason, then the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be (i) the interest rate as provided for in Sections 2.20 and 2.21 divided by (ii) 1 (one) minus the rate (in percent) at which the relevant deduction or withholding of Swiss Withholding Tax is required to be made (where the rate at which the relevant deduction or withholding of Swiss Withholding Tax is required to be made is for this purpose, expressed as a fraction of one rather than as a percentage).

(c) The Swiss Borrower shall be obliged to pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with Sections 2.20 and 2.21 and it shall make the deduction or withholding of Swiss Withholding Tax on the interest so recalculated.

(d) To the extent that interest payable by a Swiss Borrower under this Agreement is subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, the Administrative Agent and such Swiss Borrower shall promptly and fully co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate tax authority) to the extent possible and necessary (i) for the Swiss Borrower to obtain authorization to make interest payments without them being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax and/or (ii) for the Lenders to obtain a full or partial refund of Swiss Withholding Tax under applicable double taxation treaties.

2.40. Lender Status Confirmation.

Each Lender shall specify, as of the date such Person becomes a Lender party hereto, whether or not such Person is a Swiss Qualifying Bank (which specification shall be (a) with respect to Lenders party hereto as of the Closing Date, as set forth on Schedule 1.1 and (b) with respect to Lenders party hereto after the Closing Date, as set forth in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Person become a party hereto. If a Lender fails to specify its status at set forth above then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if such Lender is not a Swiss Qualifying Bank until such time as it notifies the Swiss Borrower which category applies. For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Assumption shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender that became party hereto pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption to comply with this Section 2.40.

SECTION 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, each of the Borrowers hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

3.1. Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at June 30, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, presents fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently

throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). No Group Member has any material Guarantee Equivalents, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, except those (a) reflected in the financial statements referred to in this paragraph, (b) which were incurred after June 30, 2017, in the case of the Company and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices, (c) that are obligations (including transaction costs) in connection with this Agreement, or (d) that, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect. During the period from June 30, 2017 to and including the Closing Date, except as publicly disclosed in filings with the SEC prior to the Closing Date, there has been no Disposition by any Group Member of any business or property that is material to the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

3.2. No Change. Since June 30, 2017, there has been no development or event that, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.3. Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except, in the case of Group Members other than each of the Loan Parties, where the failure to be so organized, validly existing and in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged except where the failure to have such power, authority and rights could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except for jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.4. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or

similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

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

3.6. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.7. No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

3.8. Ownership of Property, Liens. Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property, in each case necessary and related to its operations, except for such property where the failure to maintain such title or interest, individually or in the aggregate, does not have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 6.3.

3.9. Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, except where such failure, individually or in the aggregate, does not have a Material Adverse Effect. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does any Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim, except where such claims, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect, except where such infringement, individually or in the aggregate, does not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.10. Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any amount the validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member) except where the failure to file such returns and pay such taxes, fees and other charges, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To

the knowledge of any Borrower, no tax Lien has been filed, and no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used to purchase or carry Margin Stock as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

3.12. ERISA.

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state laws. Each Pension Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the IRS to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS. To the best knowledge of the Borrowers, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status.

(b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Enter into, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into, become or remain subject to any agreement or instrument to which any Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties (now owned or hereafter acquired) may be subject or bound that would prohibit or require the consent of any Person to any amendment, modification or supplement to any of the Loan Documents, except for the Loan Documents.

(f) (i) any Group Member (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (A) under any existing or future Debtor Relief Law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or any Group Member (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (ii) there shall be commenced against any Group Member (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (i) above that (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days; or (iii) there shall be commenced against any Group Member (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) any case, proceeding or other action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets that results in the entry of an order for any such relief that shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or (iv) any Group Member (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) shall take any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) above; or (v) any Group Member (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) shall generally not, or shall be unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7(f), it shall be an Event of Default if Immaterial Subsidiaries that collectively have assets with a total book value or fair market value of more than $20,000,000 are subject to the events described in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above; or

(g) (i) an ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Borrowers under Title IV of ERISA to the Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or the PBGC and such liability could, in the sole judgment of the Required Lenders, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the Borrowers or any ERISA Affiliate fails to pay when due, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect to its withdrawal

107

liability under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan and such failure to pay could, in the sole judgment of the Required Lenders, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

(i) the guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than Subsidiary Guarantors which (a) are designated by the Company as a Significant Subsidiary under clause (c) of the definition of “Significant Subsidiary” and (b) would not be a Significant Subsidiary absent such designation) contained in the Guarantee shall cease, for any reason, to be in full force and effect (except (x) to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor is merged into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor or (y) such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by Section 6.10) or any Loan Party shall so assert, or any action at law, suit or in equity or other legal proceeding to cancel, revoke or rescind any of the Loan Documents, shall be commenced by any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries party thereto, or any court or any other governmental or regulatory authority or agency of competent jurisdiction shall make a determination that, or issue a judgment, order, decree or ruling to the effect that, any one or more of the Loan Documents is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with the terms thereof; or

(j) (i) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) shall become, or obtain rights (whether by means or warrants, options or otherwise) to become, the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13(d)-3 and 13(d)-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 30% of the outstanding common stock of the Company; (ii) the board of directors of the Company shall cease to consist of a majority of Continuing Directors; or (iii) the Company shall fail to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Capital Stock of each Foreign Borrower (except for directors’ qualifying shares or other similar nominal ownership interests required by law to be held by a third party);

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to any Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrowers, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing

108

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrowers (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section 7, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.

SECTION 8

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

8.1. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 8 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

8.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative 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 any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Section 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

109

8.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent, the Joint Book Runners, or any Joint Lead Arranger nor any of their respective Related Parties 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, each of the Agents, the Joint Book Runners, and the Joint Lead Arrangers:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not 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 the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders or the Required Multicurrency 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, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, 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 the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or the Required Multicurrency Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.1 and Section 7) or (ii) in the absence of a finding that it acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not 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 Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

8.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,

110

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. The Administrative 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, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

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

8.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 and Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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.

8.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent, Joint Book Runner and Joint Lead Arranger in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Revolving Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Revolving Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent, Joint Book Runner or Joint Lead Arranger in any way relating to or arising out of, the

111

Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent, Joint Book Runner or Joint Lead Arranger under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that, no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s, Joint Book Runner’s or Joint Lead Arranger’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

8.8. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, 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 the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

8.9. Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor, 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 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that, in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrowers and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

112

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative 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 Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.25(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative 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 Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retired or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 8 and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (a) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Lenders and (b) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.

(d) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender, and as the Swingline Lender and Euro Swingline Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.8. If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender, as applicable, provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.5(b). Upon the Company’s appointment of a successor for Bank of America as an Issuing Lender, or as Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender hereunder (which such successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall

113

succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and/or Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (ii) the retiring Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender and/or Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be, shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Lender 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 Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

8.10. No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Co-Syndication Agents, Co-Documentation Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers, or Joint Book Runners 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, a Lender or an Issuing Lender hereunder.

8.11. Release of Guarantors. Each Lender and Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to enter into any agreement or execute any document evidencing the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee pursuant to this Section 8.11.

8.12. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.20 and 9.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Lenders to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any

114

amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Lender in any such proceeding.

SECTION 9

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that, no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive (in whole or in part) the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders), (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), or (z) that any modification or change in the metric for determining fee rates, applicable margins and Pricing Levels hereunder, including using financial covenants rather than the Company’s Debt Rating shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 9.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or release, other than as provided in Section 8.11 (in which case such release of any Subsidiary Guarantor may be made by the Administrative Agent acting alone), all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee or release the Company from its obligations under the Company Guarantee without the written consent of all the Lenders; (iv) add additional currencies as Foreign Currencies in which Multicurrency Loans may be made under this Agreement without the written consent of all the Multicurrency Lenders; (v) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders without the written consent of all Lenders; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 2.4 or 2.5 without the written consent of the Swingline Lender or, with respect to provisions concerning the Euro Swingline Loans, the Euro Swingline Lender; (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 2.6 through 2.13 inclusive without the written consent of all Issuing Lenders; or (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.23 or the second proviso in Section 2.33(a) without the written consent of each Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing;

117

but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lenders or any Borrower may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, that, approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING 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 PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Company’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service, or through the Internet.

121

Prepayment) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

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

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 in accordance with Section 7 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders; 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) any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.7 (subject to the terms of Section 2.23), 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 Debtor Relief Law; provided, further, that, if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.23, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing or other extensions of credit hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as

122

any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

9.5. Costs and Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. Each Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and their Affiliates for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrowers prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay all customary fees incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (c) to pay or reimburse each Lender, Agent, Joint Book Runner and Joint Lead Arranger for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights (i) under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including its rights under this Section, or (ii) in connection with the Loans made or the 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, in each case, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, Agent, Joint Book Runner and Joint Lead Arranger harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents delivered by a Group Member in connection with any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify, and hold the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, Issuing Lender, Agent, Joint Book Runner and Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any other Loan Document and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation

123

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 the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that, the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee to the extent of the Indemnitee’s liability as an owner (and not as an operator or arranger under Environmental Laws). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing 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 applicable Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Revolving Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that, 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) or such Issuing Lender 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) or such Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.23(f).

(d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be submitted to the Company at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Company in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Euro Swingline Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Total Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

124

9.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.6. No assignment by a Lender hereunder shall be made to (i) any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (ii) a natural person, (iii) an Assignee for which it is unlawful, or any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Assignee or its applicable lending office(s) to make, maintain or fund Loans to, or to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of, each Foreign Borrower that is a party to this Agreement at the time of such assignment or (iv) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (iv). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (c) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders.

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, Multicurrency Subcommitments 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 Company; provided, that, no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment (1) to a Lender, (2) to a Lender Affiliate if such Lender Affiliate is a Swiss Qualifying Bank, or (3) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other Person;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided, that, the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required for an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender, a Lender Affiliate, or an Approved Fund; and

125

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments, the amount of the Commitments of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided, that, (1) no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(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 Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (B) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans or Euro Swingline Loans;

(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 in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and the Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in the form supplied by the Administrative Agent;

(D) in the case of an assignment by a Multicurrency Lender of all or a portion of its Commitment, such assignment must include a ratable assignment of such Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Subcommitment to the extent that the amount of its Commitment being assigned is greater than the excess, if any, of the amount of such Commitment over the amount of such Multicurrency Lender’s Multicurrency Subcommitment; and

(E) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to

126

each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans and Euro Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage or Multicurrency Revolving Percentage, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.24, 2.25, 2.26 and 9.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder),

127

the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Euro Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (provided, that, such Person is a Swiss Qualifying Bank) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that, (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, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that, such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.24, 2.25 and 2.26 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.25(e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided, that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.27 and Section 2.28 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.24 or Section 2.25, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from any change in a Requirement of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.28 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7(b) as though it were a Lender; provided, that, such Participant shall be subject to Section 9.7(a) as though it were a Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.5(c) without regard to the existence of any participation. 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

128

obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) 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 or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Additional Notes. Each Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in this Section 9.6.

(f) Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a Conduit Lender identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that, such Conduit Lender is a Swiss Qualifying Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any Conduit Lender nor the exercise by any Conduit Lender of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, (ii) no Conduit Lender shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by a Conduit Lender hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such committed Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any Conduit Lender, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Conduit Lender may (x) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the

129

Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (y) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Conduit Lender.

(g) Resignation as Issuing Lender; Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 9.6(b), (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, Bank of America may resign as an Issuing Lender, (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, Bank of America may resign as Swingline Lender and/or (iii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited may resign as Euro Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender or as Swingline Lender or as Euro Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender or Euro Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that, no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, or Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited as Euro Swingline Lender. If Bank of America resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.8). If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.5. If Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited resigns as Euro Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Euro Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Euro Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in outstanding Euro Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.5. If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender and as an Issuing Lender, Bank of America shall also resign as Administrative Agent.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time JPM or PNC assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to Section 9.6(b), upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, JPM or PNC, as applicable, may resign as an Issuing Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender hereunder; provided, however, that, no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of JPM or PNC, as applicable, as Issuing Lender. If JPM or PNC resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights and

130

obligations of an Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to fund risk participations in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.8).

9.7. Adjustments, Set-off; Pari Passu Treatment.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 7, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other relevant Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other relevant Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other relevant Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other relevant Lender, or shall provide such other relevant Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the relevant Lenders; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall, so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, have the right, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any Lender Affiliate or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

(c) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender agrees that it shall be deemed to have, automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, purchased from each other Lender a participation in the risk associated with the Obligations held by such other Lender, so that the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations held by each Lender shall be equivalent to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Obligations. Upon demand by the Administrative Agent, made at the request of the Required Lenders, each Lender that has purchased such participation (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall pay the amount of such participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender whose Outstanding Extensions of Credit exceed their Revolving Percentage of the Obligations. Any

131

such participation may, at the option of such Purchasing Lender, be paid in Dollars or in an applicable Foreign Currency (the “Funding Currency”) (in an amount equal to the then applicable Dollar Equivalent or Foreign Currency Equivalent, as applicable, amount of such participation) and such payment shall be converted by the Administrative Agent at the Exchange Rate into the currency of the Obligations in which such participation is being purchased. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Purchasing Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Purchasing Lender as a result of entering into any reasonable hedging arrangements between the Funding Currency and the currency of the Obligations in which such participation is being purchased in connection with the funding of such participation or as a result of any payment on account of such participation in a currency other than that funded by the Purchasing Lender.

(d) Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Person holding such a participation in the Obligations deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to such Person as fully as if such Person had made a Loan directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.37 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

9.7A. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

9.8. Counterparts. 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, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders,

132

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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

9.9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.9, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Euro Swingline Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

9.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

9.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.12. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS.

(a) EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING LENDER, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
