The German Swing Loans shall be secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute German Revolving Loans and German Obligations, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to German Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(iii) In the case of a request for a UK Revolving Loan and so long the aggregate amount of UK Swing Loans made since the last Settlement Date,minus all payments or other amounts applied to UK Swing Loans since the last Settlement Date,plus the Dollar Equivalent amount of the requested UK Swing Loan does not exceed $5,000,000, European Swing Lender shall make a UK Revolving Loan (any such UK Revolving Loan made by European Swing Lender pursuant to thisSection 2.3(b)(iii) being referred to as a “UK Swing Loan” and all such UK Revolving Loans being referred to as “UK Swing Loans”) available to UK Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds in the amount of such requested UK Borrowing to the UK Designated Account. Each UK Swing Loan shall be deemed to be a UK Revolving Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (includingSection 3) applicable to other UK Revolving Loans, except that all payments (including interest) on any UK Swing Loan shall be payable to European Swing Lender solely for its own account. Subject to the provisions ofSection 2.3(d)(ii), European Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any UK Swing Loan if European Swing Lender has actual knowledge that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth inSection 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable UK Borrowing. European Swing Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth inSection 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making any UK Swing Loan. The UK Swing Loans shall be secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute UK Revolving Loans and UK Obligations, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to UK Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(c)Making of Revolving Loans.

(i) In the event that the applicable Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, then after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant toSection 2.3(a), Agent shall notify the applicable Lenders by telecopy, telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission (provided, that any such notice made by telecopy or telephone shall be promptly confirmed by electronic notification), of the requested Borrowing (and whether such Borrowing is for the account of US Borrowers, German Borrower or UK Borrowers, as the case may be); such notification to be sent on the Business Day that is 1 Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date. If Agent has notified the Lenders with an applicable Commitment of a requested Borrowing on the Business Day that is 1 Business Day prior to the Funding Date, then each such Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency, to Agent’s Applicable Account, not later than 12:00 noon (or 12:00 noon (London time) in the case of European Borrowings) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans from the Lenders, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to the applicable Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the US Designated Account, the German Designated Account or the UK Designated Account, as the case may be;provided, that, subject to the provisions ofSection 2.3(d)(ii), no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Revolving Loan, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth inSection 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the US Availability (in the case of a US Borrowing), the German Availability (in the case of a German Borrowing), or the UK Availability (in the case of a UK Borrowing) on such Funding Date.

(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 11:30 a.m. (or 11:30 a.m. (London time) in the case of European Borrowings) on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date relative to a requested Borrowing as to which Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency on the Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. If, on the requested Funding Date, any Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to Agent in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency and if Agent has made available to Borrowers such amount on the requested Funding Date, then such Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency, to Agent’s Applicable Account, no later than 12:00 noon (or 12:00 noon (London time) in the case of European Borrowings) on the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the requested Funding Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing for the Funding Date shall be for Agent’s separate account). If any Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to Agent in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency as and when required hereby and if Agent has made available to Borrowers such amount, then that Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under thisSection 2.3(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Lender is required to remit is made available to Agent, then such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrowers of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans composing such Borrowing.

(d)Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.

(i) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject toSection 2.3(d)(iv), at any time (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance

of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth inSection 3 are not satisfied, Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time, in Agent’s sole discretion, to make US Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, US Borrowers, German Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, German Borrower, and UK Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, UK Borrowers, in each case on behalf of the applicable Lenders, that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (the US Revolving Loans described in thisSection 2.3(d)(i) shall be referred to as “US Protective Advances”, the German Revolving Loans described in thisSection 2.3(d)(i) shall be referred to as “German Protective Advances”), and the UK Revolving Loans described in thisSection 2.3(d)(i) shall be referred to as “UK Protective Advances”).

(ii) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject toSection 2.3(d)(iv), the Lenders hereby authorize Agent or any Swing Lender, as applicable, and either Agent or any Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans) to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) with respect to any such Revolving Loans (i) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the Dollar Equivalent amount of the outstanding Aggregate Revolver Usage does not exceed the amount equal to 110% of the Aggregate Borrowing Base, and (ii) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the Dollar Equivalent amount of the outstanding Aggregate Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Accounts for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses), does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, (B) with respect to any such US Revolving Loans, (i) after giving effect to such US Revolving Loans, the outstanding US Revolver Usage does not exceed the amount equal to 110% of the US Borrowing Base, and (ii) after giving effect to such US Revolving Loans, the outstanding US Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the US Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, (C) with respect to any such German Revolving Loans, (i) after giving effect to such German Revolving Loans, the outstanding German Revolver Usage does not exceed the amount equal to 105% of the German Borrowing Base, and (ii) after giving effect to such German Revolving Loans, the outstanding German Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the German Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the German Maximum Revolver Amount, and (D) with respect to any such UK Revolving Loans, (i) after giving effect to such UK Revolving Loans, the outstanding UK Revolver Usage does not exceed the amount equal to 105% of the UK Borrowing Base, and (ii) after giving effect to such UK Revolving Loans, the outstanding UK Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the UK Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the UK Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that the US Revolver Usage, the German Revolver Usage, or the UK Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by thisSection 2.3(d), regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the applicable Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case Agent may make such Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Lenders thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with the applicable Borrowers intended to eliminate the Overadvances, within a reasonable time;provided that Borrowers may not have outstanding US Overadvances, German Overadvances or UK Overadvances, as applicable, for more than 60 consecutive days and at the end of such period shall immediately repay all Overadvances under the applicable tranche, followed by no further Overadvances under the applicable tranche for at least 5 consecutive Business Days thereafter. In such circumstances, if any Lender objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions ofSection 2.4(e)(1). Each Lender shall be obligated to settle with Agent as provided inSection 2.3(e) (orSection 2.3(g), as applicable) for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under thisSection 2.3(d)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to any Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.

(iii) Each US Protective Advance and each US Overadvance (each, a “US Extraordinary Advance”) shall be deemed to be a US Revolving Loan hereunder, each German Protective Advance and each German Overadvance (each, a “German Extraordinary Advance”) shall be deemed to be a German Revolving Loan hereunder, and each UK Protective Advance and each UK Overadvance (each, a “UK Extraordinary Advance”) shall be deemed to be a UK Revolving Loan hereunder. No Extraordinary Advance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Extraordinary Advances, including interest thereon, shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account. The Extraordinary Advances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Agent’s Liens, and (A) in the case of US Extraordinary Advances, constitute US Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to US Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, (B) in the case of German Extraordinary Advances, constitute German Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to German Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (C) in the case of UK Extraordinary Advances, constitute UK Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to UK Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. The provisions of thisSection 2.3(d) are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lenders, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrowers (or any other Loan Party) in any way.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Extraordinary Advance may be made by Agent if such Extraordinary Advance would cause the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Extraordinary Advances outstanding to exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing inthis Section 2.4(d) shall require any Lender to advance Revolving Loans in excess of such Lender’s applicable Commitment

(e)Settlement.It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the (x) US Revolving Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding US Revolving Loans, (y) German Revolving Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding German Revolving Loans, and (z) UK Revolving Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding UK Revolving Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lenders, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Revolving Loans (including the Swing Loans and the Extraordinary Advances) shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent in its sole discretion (1) on behalf of Swing Lenders, with respect to the outstanding Swing Loans, (2) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Extraordinary Advances, and (3) with respect to any Loan Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ payments or other amounts received, as to each by notifying the applicable Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 4:00 p.m. (or 4:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of German Revolving Loans and UK Revolving Loans) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding US Revolving Loans (including US Swing Loans and US Extraordinary Advances), German Revolving Loans (including German Swing Loans and German Extraordinary Advances), and UK Revolving Loans (including UK Swing Loans and UK Extraordinary Advances) for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (includingSection 2.3(g)): (y) if the amount of the applicable Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 2:00 p.m. (or 2:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of German Revolving Loans and UK Revolving Loans) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the US Revolving Loans (including US Swing Loans and US Extraordinary Advances), the German Revolving Loans (including German Swing Loans and German Extraordinary Advances), and UK Revolving Loans (including UK Swing Loans and UK Extraordinary Advances), and (z) if the amount of the applicable Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender is less

than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Revolving Loans (including Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 2:00 p.m. (or 2:00 p.m. (London time in the case of German Revolving Loans and UK Revolving Loans) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency to Agent’s Applicable Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the US Revolving Loans (including US Swing Loans and US Extraordinary Advances), German Revolving Loans (including German Swing Loans and German Extraordinary Advances), and UK Revolving Loans (including UK Swing Loans and UK Extraordinary Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances, as applicable, and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans or Extraordinary Advances representing each Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute the applicable Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate.

(ii) In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the applicable Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and Extraordinary Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Extraordinary Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Agent or a Swing Lender, as applicable, any payments or other amounts received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of (A) the US Revolving Loans, for application to the US Extraordinary Advances or US Swing Loans, (B) the German Revolving Loans, for application to the German Extraordinary Advances or German Swing Loans, or (C) the UK Revolving Loans, for application to the UK Extraordinary Advances or UK Swing Loans. Between Settlement Dates, Agent, (x) to the extent no US Extraordinary Advances or US Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to US Swing Lender any payments or other amounts received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the US Revolving Loans, for application to US Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the US Revolving Loans, (y) to the extent no German Extraordinary Advances or German Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to European Swing Lender any payments or other amounts received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the German Revolving Loans, for application to European Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the German Revolving Loans, and (z) to the extent no UK Extraordinary Advances or UK Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to European Swing Lender any payments or other amounts received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the UK Revolving Loans, for application to European Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the UK Revolving Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, payments or other amounts of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to a Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, such Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders, and Agent shall pay to such Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if Agent has implemented the provisions ofSection 2.3(g)), to be applied to the applicable outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, each Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Extraordinary Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans, other than Swing Loans and Extraordinary Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by such Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.

(iv) Anything in thisSection 2.3(e) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth inSection 2.3(g).

(f)Notation.Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrowers, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to each Swing Lender and Extraordinary Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.

(g)Defaulting Lenders.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions ofSection 2.4(b)(iii), Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrowers to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments (1) pertaining to or securing US Obligations, (A) first, to Agent to the extent of any US Extraordinary Advances that were made by Agent and that were required to be, but were not paid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to US Swing Lender to the extent of any US Swing Loans that were made by US Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (C) third, to Issuing Bank, to the extent of the portion of a US Letter of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (D) fourth, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their US Revolver Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a US Revolving Loan (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (E) fifth, in Agent’s sole discretion, to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of US Borrowers (upon the request of US Administrative Borrower and subject to the conditions set forth inSection 3.2) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of US Revolving Loans (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (F) sixth, from and after the date on which all other US Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with (B)(12) ofSection 2.4(b)(iii); (2) pertaining to or securing German Obligations, (A) first, to Agent to the extent of any German Extraordinary Advances that were made by Agent and that were required to be, but were not paid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to European Swing Lender to the extent of any German Swing Loans that were made by European Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (C) third, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their German Revolver Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a German Revolving Loan (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (D) fourth, in Agent’s sole discretion, to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of German Borrower (upon the request of German Borrower and subject to the conditions set forth inSection 3.2) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of German Revolving Loans (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (E) fifth, from and after the date on which all other German Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (A)(13) ofSection 2.4(b)(iii); and (3) pertaining to or securing UK Obligations, (A) first, to Agent to the extent of any UK Extraordinary Advances that were made by Agent and that were required to be, but were not paid by the Defaulting Lender, (B) second, to European Swing Lender to the extent of any UK Swing Loans that were made by European Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender, (C) third, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their UK Revolver Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a UK Revolving Loan (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (D) fourth, in Agent’s sole discretion, to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of UK Borrowers (upon the request of UK Administrative Borrower and subject to the conditions set forth inSection 3.2) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of UK Revolving Loans (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (E) fifth, from and after the date on which all other UK Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with (B)(12) ofSection 2.4(b)(iii). Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to the applicable Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable underSection 2.10(b), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitments shall be deemed to be zero;provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed bySection 14.1(a)(i) through(iii). The provisions of thisSection 2.3(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the

- 70 -

earlier of (y) the date on which all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, Issuing Bank, and Borrowers shall have waived, in writing, the application of thisSection 2.3(g) to such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder (on which earlier date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any remaining cash collateral held by Agent pursuant toSection 2.3(g)(ii) shall be released to the applicable Borrowers). The operation of thisSection 2.3(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent, Issuing Bank, or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrowers, at their option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Assumption in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of its participation in the US Letters of Credit);provided, that any such assumption of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrowers’ rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of thisSection 2.3(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of thisSection 2.3(g) shall control and govern.

(ii) If any US Swing Loan or US Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(A) such Defaulting Lender’s US Swing Loan Exposure and US Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders’ US Revolving Loan Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s US Swing Loan Exposure and US Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all applicable Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth inSection 3.2 are satisfied at such time;

(B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, US Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s US Swing Loan Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s US Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above), pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, for so long as such US Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;provided, that US Borrowers shall not be obligated to cash collateralize any Defaulting Lender’s US Letter of Credit Exposure if such Defaulting Lender is also Issuing Bank;

(C) if US Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s US Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to thisSection 2.3(g)(ii), US Borrowers shall not be required to pay any US Letter of Credit Fees to Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant toSection 2.6(b) with respect to such cash collateralized portion of such Defaulting Lender’s US Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such US Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 71 -

(D) to the extent the US Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to thisSection 2.3(g)(ii), then the US Letter of Credit Fees payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant toSection 2.6(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ US Letter of Credit Exposure;

(E) to the extent any Defaulting Lender’s US Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to thisSection 2.3(g)(ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all US Letter of Credit Fees that would have otherwise been payable to such Defaulting Lender underSection 2.6(b) with respect to such portion of such US Letter of Credit Exposure shall instead be payable to Issuing Bank until such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s US Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized or reallocated;

at the request of US Borrowers on the Closing Date. Each US Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars or another Applicable Currency. If Issuing Bank makes a payment under a US Letter of Credit, US Borrowers shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable US Letter of Credit Disbursement on the Business Day such US Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the US Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a US Revolving Loan hereunder in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such US Letter of Credit Disbursement (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth inSection 3) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to US Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

By the issuance of a US Letter of Credit (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a US Letter of Credit) and without any further action on the part of Issuing Bank or the Lenders, Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a US Revolver Commitment, and each such Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each US Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such US Letter of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any US Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank under the applicable US Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Equivalent of each US Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided inSection 2.11(d), or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that Agent or Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to US Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Equivalent of each US Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to thisSection 2.11(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth inSection 3. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a US Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

(f) Each US Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each member of the Lender Group (including Issuing Bank and its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including Issuing Bank, a “US Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any such US Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed bySection 16) (the “US Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of:

(i) any US Letter of Credit or any pre-advice of its issuance;

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 87 -

(ii) any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any such US Letter of Credit Related Person in connection with any US Letter of Credit;

(iii) any action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, any US Letter of Credit (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any US Letter of Credit, or for the wrongful dishonor of, or honoring a presentation under, any US Letter of Credit;

(iv) any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any US Letter of Credit;

(v) any unauthorized instruction or request made to Issuing Bank in connection with any US Letter of Credit or requested US Letter of Credit or error in computer or electronic transmission;

(vi) an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated;

(vii) any third party seeking to enforce the rights of an applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of US Letter of Credit proceeds or holder of an instrument or document;

(viii) the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the US Letter of Credit Related Person;

(ix) Issuing Bank’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation; or

(x) the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of the US Letter of Credit Related Person;

in each case, including that resulting from the US Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence;provided, that such indemnity shall not be available to any US Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification under clauses (i) through (x) above to the extent that such US Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the US Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. US Borrowers hereby agree to pay the US Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity on demand from time to time all amounts owing under thisSection 2.11(f). If and to the extent that the obligations of US Borrowers under thisSection 2.11(f) are unenforceable for any reason, US Borrowers agree to make the maximum contribution to the US Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs permissible under applicable law. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all US Letters of Credit.

(g) The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other US Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any US Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by US Borrowers that are caused directly by Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a US Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such US Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a US Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such US Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a US Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement. US Borrowers’ aggregate remedies against Issuing Bank and any US Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any US Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by US Borrowers to Issuing Bank in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such US Letter of Credit underSection 2.11(d), plus interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. US Borrowers shall take action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Issuing Bank or any other US Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the US

Any claim by US Borrowers under or in connection with any US Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by US Borrowers as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of; and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had US Borrowers taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Issuing Bank to effect a cure.

(h) US Borrowers are responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the US Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by US Borrowers. US Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the US Letter of Credit for the Loan Parties’ purposes. With respect to any US Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such US Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such US Letter of Credit and, if US Borrowers do not at any time want such US Letter of Credit to be renewed, US Borrowers will so notify Agent and Issuing Bank at least 15 calendar days before Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such US Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such US Letter of Credit.

(i) US Borrowers’ reimbursement and payment obligations under thisSection 2.11 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including:

(i) any lack of validity, enforceability or legal effect of any US Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein;

(ii) payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document that does not comply in whole or in part with the terms of the applicable US Letter of Credit or which proves to be fraudulent, forged or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such US Letter of Credit;

(iii) Issuing Bank or any of its branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any US Letter of Credit;

(iv) Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any US Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the US Letter of Credit;

(v) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, Issuing Bank or any other Person;

(vi) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for thisSection 2.11(i), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, any Loan Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any US Letter of Credit, whether against Issuing Bank, the beneficiary or any other Person; or

(vii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, that subject toSection 2.11(g) above, the foregoing shall not release Issuing Bank from such liability to US Borrowers as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against Issuing Bank following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of US Borrowers to Issuing Bank arising under, or in connection with, thisSection 2.11 or any US Letter of Credit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(k) US Borrowers shall pay immediately upon demand to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank as non-refundable fees, commissions, and charges (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such fees, commissions, and charges to the US Loan Account pursuant to the provisions ofSection 2.6(d) shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of thisSection 2.11(k)): (i) a fronting fee which shall be imposed by Issuing Bank upon the issuance of each US Letter of Credit of .125% per annum of the average outstanding amount thereof,plus(ii) any and all other customary commissions, fees and charges then in effect imposed by, and any and all expenses incurred by, Issuing Bank, or by any adviser, confirming institution or entity or other nominated person, relating to US Letters of Credit, at the time of issuance of any US Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any US Letter of Credit (including transfers, assignments of proceeds, amendments, drawings, renewals or cancellations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Issuing Bank is a person other than Wells Fargo, all fronting fees payable in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall be paid by US Borrowers immediately upon demand directly to such Issuing Bank for its own account.

(l) If by reason of (x) any Change in Law, or (y) compliance by Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Board of Governors as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

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

(ii) there shall be imposed on Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group any other condition regarding any US Letter of Credit,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group of issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any US Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify US Borrowers, and US Borrowers shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate Issuing Bank or any other member of the Lender Group for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder;provided, that (A) US Borrowers shall not be required to provide any compensation pursuant to thisSection 2.11(l) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to US Borrowers, and (B) if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to thisSection 2.11(l), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

(o) Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to Agent, the Lenders and US Borrowers. After the resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit.

(p) The provisions of thisSection 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of the Obligations with respect to any US Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

2.12LIBOR Option.

(a)Interest and Interest Payment Dates.In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall have the option, subject toSections 2.12(b) and(d) below (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Revolving Loans be charged (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or upon continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan) at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;provided, that, subject to the following clauses (ii) and (iii), in the case of any Interest Period greater than 3 months in duration, interest shall be payable at 3 month intervals after the commencement of the applicable Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period), (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless the applicable Borrowers have properly exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers no longer shall have the option to request that Revolving Loans bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate.

(b)LIBOR Election.

(i) Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (or 1:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of German Revolving Loans or UK Revolving Loans) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of the applicable Borrowers’ election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Revolving Loans and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (or 5:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of a LIBOR Notice with respect to German Revolving Loans or UK Revolving Loans) on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the affected Lenders.

(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers. If a payment of LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a funding loss underSection 2.12(d)(ii), Agent may, in its sole discretion at the request of Borrowers, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the relevant Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the payment of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan on such last day, it being agreed that Agent has no obligation to defer the application of payments to any LIBOR Rate Loan and that, in the event that Agent does not defer such application, Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any resulting funding losses in accordance withSection 2.12(d)(ii)

(iii) Borrowers may request, no later than 3 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, that the Lenders make the initial Revolving Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans so long as Parent has delivered to Agent a letter, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth inSection 2.12(d)(ii).

(iv) Unless Agent, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise, Borrowers shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. Borrowers may only exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR Rate Loans of atleast the Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000.

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 92 -

(c)Conversion.Borrowers may convert LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans at any time;provided, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are converted or prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any prepayment through the required application by Agent of any payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance withSection 2.4(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all funding losses in accordance withSection 2.12(d)(ii).

(d)Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.

(i)Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans.Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan,provided that Borrowers shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

(ii)Compensation for Losses.Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Agent) from time to time, Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

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

(B) any failure by Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrowers; or

(C) any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrowers pursuant toSection 14.2(b);

including any loss of anticipated profits on account of interest payments that would otherwise have been made with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrowers to the Lenders under thisSection 2.12(d)(ii), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Rate Loan made by it at the LIBOR Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to Borrowers through Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. Borrowers agree that their obligations contained in thisSection 2.12(d) shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of all other Obligations.

2.13Changed Circumstances.

(a)Illegality. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Agent and Agent shall promptly give notice to Borrowers and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until Agent notifies Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, and the right of Borrowers to convert any Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter Borrowers may select only Base Rate Loans and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period.

(b)Inability to Determine Rates. In connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrowers. Thereafter, until Agent notifies Borrowers that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of Borrowers to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and Borrowers shall either (i) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon (subject toSection 2.12(d)(ii)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; or (ii) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period.

Borrowers agree that their obligations contained in thisSection 2.13 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of all other Obligations.

2.14Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Bank;

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any US Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any US Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any US Letter of

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 94 -

Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, Borrowers will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank, such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the German Loan Parties’ and the UK Loan Parties’ reimbursement obligations shall be limited to matters relating to the European Obligations, the German Loan Parties and the UK Loan Parties, and shall not extend to US Obligations.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, the Issuing Bank’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation,provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Recipient pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or such other Recipient notifies Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s, the Issuing Bank’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Borrowers agree that their obligations contained in thisSection 2.14 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of all other Obligations.

2.15Accordion.

(a) At any time during the period from and after the Closing Date to but excluding the date that is the 4 year anniversary of the Closing Date, at the option of US Borrowers (but subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b) below), the US Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount may be increased by an amount in the aggregate for all such increases of the US Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount not to exceed the Available Revolver Increase Amount (each such increase, an “Increase”). Agent shall invite each Lender to increase its US Revolver Commitments (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its US Revolver Commitments) in connection with a proposed Increase at the interest margin proposed by US Borrowers, and if sufficient Lenders do not agree to increase their US Revolver Commitments in connection with such proposed Increase, then Agent or US Borrowers may invite any prospective lender who is reasonably satisfactory to Agent, Issuing Bank, US Swing Lender, and US Borrowers to become a Lender in connection with a

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 95 -

proposed Increase. Any Increase shall be in an amount of at least $10,000,000. In no event may the US Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount be increased pursuant to thisSection 2.15 on more than 5 occasions in the aggregate for all such Increases. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Increases to the US Revolver Commitments exceed $50,000,000.

(b) Each of the following shall be conditions precedent to any Increase of the US Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount in connection therewith:

(i) Agent or Borrowers have obtained the commitment of one or more Lenders (or other prospective lenders) reasonably satisfactory to Agent and US Borrowers to provide the applicable Increase and any such Lenders (or prospective lenders), Borrowers, and Agent have signed a joinder agreement to this Agreement (an “Increase Joinder”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to which such Lenders (or prospective lenders), Borrowers, and Agent are party,

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on the applicable Increase Date (as defined below) or after giving effect to such Increase;

(iii) each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects, on the applicable Increase Date with the same effect as if made on and as of such date (except for any such representation and warranty that by its terms is made only as of an earlier date, which representation and warranty shall remain true and correct as of such earlier date);

(iv) Borrowers have delivered to Agent updatedpro forma Projections (after giving effect to the applicable Increase) for the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries evidencing compliance on a pro forma basis withSection 7 (calculated as if a Covenant Testing Period was then in effect) for the 12 months (on a month-by-month basis) immediately following the proposed date of the applicable Increase,

(v) Borrowers have delivered to Agent (A) a certificate of each Loan Party, dated as of the Increase Date, executed by an Authorized Person of each Loan Party certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to the Increase, (B) one or more opinions of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, and (C) such other instruments, documents, and agreements as Agent may reasonably request,

(vi) Borrowers shall have demonstrated to Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that the full amount of the respective Increase may be incurred without violating the terms of the Term Loan Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or of any other material debt of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and

(vii) Borrowers shall have reached agreement with the Lenders (or prospective lenders) agreeing to the Increase with respect to the interest margins applicable to Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased US Revolver Commitments (which interest margins may be higher than or equal to the interest margins applicable to US Revolving Loans set forth in this Agreement immediately prior to the date of the increased US Revolver Commitments (the date of the effectiveness of the increased US Revolver Commitments and the Maximum Revolver Amount, the “Increase Date”)) and shall have communicated the amount of such interest margins to Agent. Any Increase Joinder may, with the consent of Agent, Borrowers and the Lenders or prospective lenders agreeing to the proposed Increase, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of thisSection 2.15 (including any amendment necessary to effectuate the interest margins for the US Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased US Revolver Commitments). Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, if the All-In Yield that is to be applicable to the US Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased US Revolver Commitments is higher than the All-In Yield applicable to the US Revolving Loans hereunder immediately prior to the applicable Increase Date (the amount by which the all-in yield is higher, the “Excess”), then the interest margin applicable to the US Revolving Loans immediately prior to the Increase Date shall be increased by the amount of the Excess, effective on the applicable Increase Date, and without the necessity of any action by any party hereto.

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 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 Borrowers and Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Swing Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in US Letters of Credit and Swing Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. 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.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits and subject to the requirements ofSections 2.12,2.13,2.14,15.7 and16 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance withSection 13.1(e).

(d)Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Dallas, Texas, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and each Increase Joinder delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans 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 Borrowers, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and 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) Borrowers, Agent 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. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity underSection 15.7 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described inSection 14.1(a)(i) through(iii) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits ofSections 2.12,2.13,2.14 and16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements underSection 16.7 (it being understood that the documentation required underSection 16.7 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) 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 ofSection 14.2 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment underSections 2.14 or16, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrowers to effectuate the provisions ofSection 14.2(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefit of any right of setoff provided herein as though it were a Lender;provided that such Participant agrees to be subject toSection 15.11 as though it were a Lender.

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 138 -

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (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, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

14.2Mitigation Obligation; Replacement of Certain Lenders.

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office.

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation underSection 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant toSection 16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law (as defined inSection 16.1); and

14.3No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies.No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.

15. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.

15.1Appointment and Authorization of Agent.Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Wells Fargo as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint, and authorize) Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers) on the conditions contained in thisSection 15. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or Bank Product Provider), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall

be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to 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 merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, payments and proceeds of Collateral, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents or to take any other action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect, and maintain the perfection of, the Agent’s Liens, (c) make Revolving Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute payments and proceeds of the Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby releases Agent, to the extent legally possible, from any restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing under any applicable law, and in particular from the restrictions pursuant to Section 181 German Civil Code (Bügerliches Gesetzbuch).

15.2Delegation of Duties.Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and may release any such agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or other Person, to the extent legally possible, from any restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing under any applicable law, and in particular from the restrictions pursuant to Section 181 German Civil Code (Bügerliches Gesetzbuch). Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15.3Liability of Agent.None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries. Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or regulation.

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 143 -

15.4Reliance by Agent.Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders (and, if it so elects, the Bank Product Providers) against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and Bank Product Providers).

15.5Notice of Default or Event of Default.Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject toSection 15.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance withSection 9;provided, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, 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.

15.6Credit Decision.Each Lender (and Bank Product Provider) acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider). Each Lender represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers. Each Lender also represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information with respect to any Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 144 -

irrespective of whether such information came into Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or such Bank Product Provider entered into a Bank Product Agreement).

15.7Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities;provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make a Revolving Loan or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

15.8Agent in Individual Capacity.Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire Equity Interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with any Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though Wells Fargo were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding a Loan Party or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers), and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Wells Fargo in its individual capacity.

15.9Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days (10 days if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Borrowers (unless such notice is waived by Borrowers or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and without any notice to the Bank Product Providers. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), to appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers). If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as Issuing Bank or a Swing Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as Issuing Bank or such Swing Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue US

In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions ofSection 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. If a resignation by Agent becomes effective in accordance with thisSection 15.9, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of the German Security Documents, any such resignation by Agent is not effective unless and until all rights and obligations with respect to the Parallel Debt have been assumed by a successor Agent.

The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding a Loan Party or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances, such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law, including Section

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 146 -

363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any Disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such Disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such Disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers), or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers). Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time, the Lenders will (and if so requested, the Bank Product Providers will) confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to thisSection 15.11;provided, that (1) anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, could expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) any and all interests retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Each Lender further hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to irrevocably authorize) Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness. Each of the Lenders hereby releases Agent, to the extent legally possible, from any restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing under any applicable law, and in particular from the restrictions pursuant to Section 181 German Civil Code (Bügerliches Gesetzbuch).

(b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (or the Bank Product Providers) (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

15.12Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against any Borrower or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares;provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

15.13Agency for Perfection.Agent hereby appoints each other Lender (and each Bank Product Provider) as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to accept) such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each of the Lenders hereby releases Agent, to the extent legally possible, from any restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing under any applicable law, and in particular from the restrictions pursuant to Section 181 German Civil Code (Bügerliches Gesetzbuch).

15.14Payments by Agent to the Lenders.All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.

15.15Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents.Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to agree) that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and such Bank Product Provider).

15.16Field Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field examination report respecting any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Report”) prepared by or at the request of Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 148 -

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of Borrowers’ personnel,

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance withSection 17.9, and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

(f) In addition to the foregoing, (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrowers the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrowers a statement regarding any Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

15.17Several Obligations; No Liability.Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided inSection 15.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender (or Bank Product Provider) to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf of such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

15.18Parallel Debt.

(a) For the purpose of thisSection 15.18, “Corresponding Obligations” means each Loan Party’s Obligations including the Bank Product Obligations, other than the Parallel Debt.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to Agent, acting on its own behalf and not as agent for any Person, an amount equal to the Corresponding Obligations (such payment undertakings by each Loan Party to Agent, hereinafter referred to as the “Parallel Debt”).

(c) The Parallel Debt will become due and payable in the currency or currencies of the Corresponding Obligations as and when one or more of the Corresponding Obligations become due and payable. An Event of Default in respect of the Corresponding Obligations shall constitute, with respect to the Parallel Debt, under the German Security Documents, a payment default (Zahlungsverzug), without any further notice being required other than as may be specified in the relevant German Security Document.

(d) Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledges that: (i) the Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability of each Loan Party to Agent which is transferable and separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Corresponding Obligations; (ii) the Parallel Debt represents Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from each Loan Party, and (iii) the Liens granted under the Loan Documents to Agent to secure the Parallel Debt are granted to Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held in trust, it being understood, that the amount which may become payable by each Loan Party under or pursuant to the Parallel Debt from time to time shall never exceed the aggregate amount which is payable under the relevant Corresponding Obligations from time to time.

(e) For the purpose of thisSection 15.18, Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself (albeit for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and each subsequent maker of any Revolving Loan by its making thereof) and not as agent or representative of any of Agent and the Lenders and each subsequent maker of any Revolving Loan by its making thereof.

(f) To the extent Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of the Parallel Debt (the “Received Amount”), the Corresponding Obligations shall be reduced by an aggregate amount (the “Deductible Amount”) equal to the Received Amount in the manner as if the Deductible Amount were received as a payment of the Corresponding Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of the Corresponding Obligations, the Parallel Debt shall be reduced accordingly as if such payment was received as a payment of the Parallel Debt. All amounts received or recovered by Agent from or by the enforcement of any security interest granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.

(g) Without limiting or affecting Agent’s rights against the Loan Parties (whether under thisSection 15.18 or under any other provisions of the Loan Documents), each Loan Party acknowledges that (i) nothing in thisSection 15.18 shall impose any obligation on Agent to advance any sum to any Loan Party or otherwise under any Loan Document, except in its capacity as Lender, and (ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Lender.

15.19Special Appointment of Agent for German Security. For the purposes of any Liens or Collateral created under the German Security Documents (“German Security”), and otherwise in relation to the German Security Documents, the following additional provisions shall apply, in addition to the provisions set out inSection 15.11 or otherwise in this Agreement:

(a) With respect to German Security, Agent shall in case of German Security which is assigned or transferred as security (Sicherungseigentum/Sicherungsabtretung) or otherwise transferred under a non-accessory security right (nichtakzessorische Sicherheit) to it, hold, administer and, as the case may be, enforce or release such German Security in its own name, but for the account of the Lenders.

(b) In the case of German Security constituted by accessory (akzessorische) security interests created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments, Agent shall hold (with regard to its own rights under the

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 150 -

Parallel Debt pursuant toSection 15.18), administer and, as the case may be, enforce or release such German Security in the name of and for and on the behalf of the Lenders, and in its own name on the basis of the Parallel Debt pursuant toSection 15.18.

(c) For the purposes of performing its rights and obligations as Agent under any accessory (akzessorische) German Security, each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to act as its agent (Stellvertreter), and releases Agent from the restrictions imposed by Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) and similar restrictions applicable to it pursuant to any other applicable law, in each case, to the extent legally possible for such Lender. A Lender which is barred by its constitutional documents or by-laws from granting such a release shall notify Agent accordingly. At the request of Agent, each Lender shall provide Agent with a separate written power of attorney (Spezialvollmacht) for the purposes of executing any relevant agreements and documents on their behalf. Each Lender hereby ratifies and approves all acts previously done by Agent on such Lender’s behalf.

(d) Agent accepts its appointment as administrator of the German Security on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement, and the Lenders (other than Agent), Agent and all other parties to this Agreement agree that, in relation to the German Security, no Lender (other than Agent) shall exercise any independent power to enforce any German Security or take any other action in relation to the enforcement of the German Security, or make or receive any declarations in relation thereto.

(e) Each Lender (other than Agent) hereby instructs Agent (with the right of sub-delegation) to enter into any documents evidencing the German Security and to make and accept all declarations and take all actions it considers necessary or useful in connection with any German Security on behalf of such Lender (other than Agent). Agent shall further be entitled to rescind, release, amend, and execute new and different documents securing the German Security.

(f) Each Lender (other than Agent) authorizes Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents):

(i) to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon Agent under the German Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto;

(ii) to take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in accordance with the German Security Documents; and

(iii) to accept as its representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right granted in favor of such Loan Party or Agent in connection with the German Security Documents and to agree to and execute on its behalf as its representative (Stellvertreter) any amendments or alterations to any German Security Document which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such security; and

(iv) to be treated for all purposes of German laws as the registered holder and the beneficiary of all security interests; in connection with the foregoing, only Agent (and no Lender or other Person) will be determined to automatically enforce rights with respect to any such security interest under German laws.

15.20Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender (a) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) agrees that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, (c) authorizes and instructs Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement as Agent on behalf of such Lender, (d) acknowledges (or is deemed to acknowledge) that a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement was delivered, or made available, to such Lender and that such Lender reviewed the Intercreditor Agreement, and (e) authorizes and instructs Agent to enter into amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements of, or to supplement or otherwise modify the Intercreditor Agreement with the consent of the Required Lenders or enter into one or more other intercreditor agreements having terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent and either in form and substance substantially similar to the existing Intercreditor Agreement or reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, from time to time, in connection with the incurrence of Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Term Loan Obligations.

Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Syndication Agent, in such capacities, shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any Loan Party. Each Lender, Agent, Swing Lender, Issuing Bank, and each Loan Party acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Joint Lead Arrangers and Syndication Agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. Each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Syndication Agent, in such capacities, shall be entitled to resign at any time by giving notice to Agent and Borrowers.

16. TAXES.

16.1Defined Terms. For purposes of thisSection 16, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank, and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

16.2Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings 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 deduction or withholding been made. Each Borrower and each Lender will cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for each Borrower to obtain authority to make payments without any withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, including, in the case of a UK Borrower, duly completing and filing an HM Revenue & Customs Form DTTP2 with HM Revenue & Customs within applicable time limits in circumstances where a Lender has notified UK Borrowers of its jurisdiction of tax residence and scheme reference number under the HM Revenue & Customs Double Taxation Treaty Passport Scheme.

16.3Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

16.4Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, 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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment by the applicable Loan Party to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Recipient (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The foregoing notwithstanding, neither the German Loan Parties nor the UK Loan Parties shall be obligated to indemnify Agent or any Lender for any Indemnified Taxes attributable to a US Loan Party.

16.5Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

Section 13.1(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under thisSection 16.5.

16.6Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to thisSection 16, such Loan Party shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

16.7Status of Lenders.

(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable Loan Party is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrowers or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as will enable Borrowers or 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 set forth in Section 16.7(b)(i),(b)(ii), and(b)(iv) below) 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.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a US Person:

(i) Any Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to Borrowers and 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 Borrowers or Agent), executed originals of a duly completed IRS Form W-9 (or any equivalent or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding Tax;

(ii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and 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 Borrowers or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) 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 originals of a duly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any equivalent or successor forms) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States 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, executed originals of a duly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any equivalent or successor forms) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such Tax treaty;

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 153 -

(B) executed originals of a duly completed IRS Form W-8ECI (or any equivalent or successor form);

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate substantially in the form ofExhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “US Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of a duly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any equivalent or successor forms); or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any equivalent or successor form), accompanied by executed originals of a duly completed IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or IRS Form W-9 (or any equivalent or successor forms), a US Tax Compliance Certificate, a certificate substantially in the form ofExhibit H-2 orExhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, 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 US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form ofExhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and 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 Borrowers or Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrowers or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(iv) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States 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 IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and 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.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update and execute such form or certification and provide executed originals to Borrowers and Agent or promptly notify Borrowers and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

16.8Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to thisSection 16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under thisSection 16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisSection16.8,

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 154 -

in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to thisSection 16.8 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

16.9VAT.

(a) All amounts payable by any Loan Party to Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender under a Loan Document that (in whole or in part) constitute consideration for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of VAT. Subject toSection 16.9(b), if VAT is chargeable on any supply made by Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender to any Loan Party under a Loan Document, the Loan Parties shall pay Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be (in addition to, and at the same time as, paying the consideration), an amount equal to the amount of the VAT and Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable, shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Loan Parties.

(b) Where a Loan Document requires any Loan Party to reimburse Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender for any costs or expenses, the Loan Parties shall, at the same time, reimburse and indemnify Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender against all VAT incurred by Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of those costs or expenses. The amount payable shall be the amount that Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, reasonably determines is the amount that neither it, nor any other member of any group of which it is a member for VAT purposes, is entitled to recover from the relevant tax authority in respect of the VAT.

16.10Survival. Each party’s obligations under thisSection 16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

17. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

17.1Effectiveness.This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by each Borrower, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.

17.2Section Headings.Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

17.3Interpretation.Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or any Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

17.4Severability of Provisions.Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

17.5Bank Product Providers.Each Bank Product Provider in its capacity as such shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 155 -

Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the applicable Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the applicable Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Borrowers may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although Borrowers are not required to do so. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors.

17.6Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

17.7Counterparts; Electronic Execution.This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Documentmutatis mutandis.

17.8Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations; Certain Waivers.If any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider repays, refunds, restores, or returns in whole or in part, any payment or property (including any proceeds of Collateral) previously paid or transferred to such member of the Lender Group or such Bank Product Provider in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligation or on account of any other obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement, because the payment, transfer, or the incurrence of the obligation so satisfied is asserted or declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Debtor Relief Law relating to fraudulent transfers, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable obligations or transfers (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), or because such member of the Lender Group or Bank Product Provider elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with a claim that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is or may be a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that such member of the Lender Group or Bank Product Provider elects to repay, restore, or return (including pursuant to a settlement of any claim in respect thereof), and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees of such member of the Lender Group or Bank Product Provider related thereto, (i) the liability of the Loan Parties with respect to the

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 156 -

amount or property paid, refunded, restored, or returned will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist and (ii) Agent’s Liens securing such liability shall be effective, revived, and remain in full force and effect, in each case, as fully as if such Voidable Transfer had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (A) Agent’s Liens shall have been released or terminated or (B) any provision of this Agreement shall have been terminated or cancelled, Agent’s Liens, or such provision of this Agreement, shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligation of any Loan Party in respect of such liability or any Collateral securing such liability. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

17.9Confidentiality.

(a) Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or a Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential) (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group and to employees, directors and officers of any member of the Lender Group (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group (including the Bank Product Providers), (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by Borrower, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (vii) as to any such information that (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates from a third party that is not, to such Person’s knowledge, subject to confidentiality obligations to Borrowers, (viii) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that prior to receipt of Confidential Information any such assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such Confidential Information either subject to the terms of thisSection 17.9 or pursuant to confidentiality requirements substantially similar to those contained in thisSection 17.9 (and such Person may disclose such Confidential Information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (i) above), (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;provided, that, prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Loan Party, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel) under this clause (ix) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than any Borrower, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrowers with prior written notice thereof, (x) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement, or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (xi) to any other party hereto, (xii) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, (xiii) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Person, and (xiv) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense.

(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent and each Lender may disclose information concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services or in its marketing or promotional materials, with such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications or marketing or promotional materials and may otherwise use the name, logos, and other insignia of any Borrower or the other Loan Parties and the Commitments provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or other advertisements, on its website or in other marketing materials of the Agent or such Lender.

(c) The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that Agent or its Affiliates may make available to the Lenders materials or information provided by or on behalf of Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks, SyndTrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders to treat Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” or otherwise at any time filed with the SEC as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. All Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” (or another similar term). Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” or that are not at any time filed with the SEC as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor” (or such other similar term).

17.10Survival.All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any US Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agent, Issuing Bank, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of, or any accrued interest on, any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding or unpaid or any US Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated.

17.11Patriot Act.Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if Agent is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and each Borrower agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute Lender Group Expenses hereunder and be for the account of Borrowers.

17.12Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures 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 Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 158 -

17.13Integration.This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product Agreements, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreement.

17.14Administrative Borrowers.

(a) Each US Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all US Borrowers (the “US Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each US Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another US Borrower has been appointed US Administrative Borrower. Each US Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes US Administrative Borrower (a) to provide Agent with all notices with respect to US Revolving Loans and US Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any US Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and any notice or instruction provided by US Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to be given by US Borrowers hereunder and shall bind each US Borrower), (b) to receive notices and instructions from members of the Lender Group (and any notice or instruction provided by any member of the Lender Group to US Administrative Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been given to each US Borrower), and (c) to take such action as US Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain US Revolving Loans and US Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the US Loan Account and Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to US Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of US Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender Group shall not incur liability to any US Borrower as a result hereof. Each US Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the US Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each US Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each US Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender Group by any US Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (i) the handling of the US Loan Account and Collateral of US Borrowers as herein provided, or (ii) the Lender Group’s relying on any instructions of US Administrative Borrower,except that US Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person under thisSection 17.14 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person, as the case may be.

(b) Each UK Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints H L Plastics, as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all UK Borrowers (the “UK Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each UK Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another UK Borrower has been appointed UK Administrative Borrower. Each UK Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes UK Administrative Borrower (a) to provide Agent with all notices with respect to UK Revolving Loans obtained for the benefit of any UK Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and any notice or instruction provided by UK Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to be given by UK Borrowers hereunder and shall bind each UK Borrower), (b) to receive notices and instructions from members of the Lender Group (and any notice or instruction provided by any member of the Lender Group to UK Administrative Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been given to each UK Borrower), and (c) to take such action as UK Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain UK Revolving Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the UK Loan Account and Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to UK Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of UK Borrowers

LEGAL_US_W # 82907718.19

- 159 -

in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender Group shall not incur liability to any UK Borrower as a result hereof. Each UK Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the UK Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each UK Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each UK Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender Group by any UK Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (i) the handling of the UK Loan Account and Collateral of UK Borrowers as herein provided, or (ii) the Lender Group’s relying on any instructions of UK Administrative Borrower,except that UK Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person under thisSection 17.14 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person, as the case may be.

(c) Each Borrower hereby releases each Administrative Borrower, to the extent legally possible, from any restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing under any applicable law, and in particular from the restrictions pursuant to Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch).

17.15Independent Effect of Covenants; Inconsistencies.

(a) The Loan Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that each covenant contained inSection 5 orSection 6 hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Loan Parties shall not engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained inSection 5 orSection 6, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the Loan Parties shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained inSection 5 orSection 6.

(b) In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control;provided that any provision of the other Loan Documents which imposes additional burdens on the Loan Parties or further restricts the rights of the Loan Parties or gives Agent or the Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect;providedfurther that the Intercreditor Agreement governs and controls in the event of any conflict with any other Loan Document.
