For the avoidance of doubt, if the MTM value of all Swap Agreements with a Qualified Counterparty is a negative amount to such Qualified Counterparty (i.e., if all such Swap Agreements with such Qualified Counterparty are in-the-money to the relevant Loan Party on a net basis), such MTM value shall be treated as zero in calculating the amount of the Designated Hedging Reserves. The MTM value of a Swap Agreement for this purpose shall be calculated and provided to the Administrative Agent, the relevant Loan Party and the Lead Borrower together with the supporting calculations therefor promptly (but in any case not later than three Business Days) following (x) the last calendar day of each calendar month and (y) such other date on which a request was made by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Loan Party or Borrower, as applicable, for such MTM value, which shall be used by the Administrative Agent in calculating the relevant portion of the Designated Hedging Reserves. If a Qualified Counterparty fails to provide the MTM value of a Swap Agreement within the relevant timeframe specified above, then the Administrative Agent (I) shall give the Lead Borrower notice thereof within three Business Days from the date such Qualified Counterparty was required to provide such MTM value and (II) shall provide, upon receiving from the Lead Borrower or the relevant Loan Party all of the information reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent

as being necessary to determine the MTM value of the relevant Swap Agreement, a proposed MTM value of the relevant Swap Agreement within such three Business Day period. If the Lead Borrower does not notify the Administrative Agent within three Business Days from receipt thereof that it does not agree with such MTM value, then the Administrative Agent shall use such MTM value in calculating the relevant portion of the Designated Hedging Reserves.

“Dilution Factors” shall mean, without duplication, with respect to any period, the aggregate amount of all deductions, credit memos, discounts, returns, adjustments, allowances, bad debt write-offs and other non- cash credits (including all volume discounts, trade discounts and rebates) that are recorded to reduce Accounts of the Borrowers in a manner consistent with current and historical accounting practices of the Borrowers.

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01. Commitments. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make (i) loans in Dollars to a U.S. Borrower (as designated by the Applicable Administrative Borrower) from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to the amount that would not result in clauses (a) or (b) of the Availability Conditions not being met, and (ii) loans in any Alternate Currency to a U.K. Borrower (as designated by the Applicable Administrative Borrower) from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to the amount that would not result in clauses (a) or (c) of the Availability Conditions not being met. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (x) no U.K. Borrower shall be liable for any of the U.S. Loans or other Obligations of Holdings or the U.S. Borrowers and (y) all Loan Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the U.K. Loans and the other Obligations of the U.K. Borrowers.

Section 2.02. Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type and Class made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments on the date such Loans are made hereunder. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided, that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Each Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(b).

(b) Subject to Section 2.12, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans in a single currency permitted under Section 2.01 as the Applicable Administrative Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.13 or 2.15 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise; provided further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, ABR Loans shall be denominated only in Dollars, and all Borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling, Euros, Canadian Dollars or Swiss Francs must be Eurocurrency Loans.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided, that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Commitments, that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.04(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and/or Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided, that there shall not at any time be more than a total of 5 Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Applicable Administrative Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Final Maturity Date.

Section 2.03. Procedures for Borrowings; Swingline.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of not less than $100,000 or, if greater, a whole multiple of $100,000 (or such other amount as may be agreed by the Swingline Lender). Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swingline Loans may be borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed during the Availability Period. To request a Swingline Loan, the Lead Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such request via electronic communication or telecopy, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of a proposed Borrowing of a Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan.

(ii) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on the second Business Day following receipt of such notice in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding.

Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s ratable share of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s ratable share of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower of any participation in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Lead Borrower (or other Person on behalf of the Lead Borrower) in respect of any Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of any sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the Lead Borrower, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Lead Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in any Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall not relieve the Lead Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03 by the time specified in this Section 2.03(b), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) The Swingline Lender may resign as Swingline Lender upon 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lead Borrower. The Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender (provided that no consent of the replaced Swingline Lender will be required if the replaced Swingline Lender has no Swingline Loans outstanding) and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the resigning or removed Swingline Lender. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (x) any successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Lead Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Lead Borrower for any reason (calculated, in the case of any Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, based on the Dollar Equivalent thereof). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments or the fact that, as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, such Lender’s Global Exposure at any time might exceed its Commitment at such time and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to such L/C Disbursement (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent thereof in such Alternate Currency) not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the next Business Day after the Lead Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such L/C Disbursement, together with accrued interest thereon from the date of such L/C Disbursement at the rate applicable to ABR Loans; provided, that the relevant Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the relevant Borrower’s obligation to make

such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the relevant Borrower fails to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the relevant Borrower in respect thereof and, in the case of a Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent thereof in such Alternate Currency) its Pro Rata Percentage of the payment then due from the relevant Borrower in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the relevant Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an ABR Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the relevant Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the relevant Borrower to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the relevant Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the relevant Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the relevant Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the relevant Borrower that are determined by a decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower in writing of any such demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the relevant Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the relevant Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Borrowings; provided, that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the relevant Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.11(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the relevant Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(h) or (i), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, in each case, following the date on which the Lead Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Required Lenders) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the relevant Borrower shall deposit in an account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Lead Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind. Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the relevant Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Lead Borrower, in each case, in Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of the Lead Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the relevant Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the relevant Borrower under this Agreement. If the relevant Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the relevant Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Appointment of Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Lead Borrower may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate any Lender that may agree (in its sole discretion) to act in such capacity and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an Issuing Bank. Each such initial or additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes. The Lead Borrower can, in its sole discretion, request the issuance of a Letter of Credit from any Issuing Bank.

(l) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04(b) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (ii) report in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), and the Issuing Bank shall be permitted to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit if the Administrative Agent shall not have advised the Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment or extension would not be in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement, (B) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement and (C) on any other Business Day, such other information with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, including but not limited to prompt verification of such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent. Upon request from time to time by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide information with respect to the current amount of Letters of Credit outstanding.

Section 2.05. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the applicable Borrower as specified in the Borrowing Request; provided, that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursements and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the relevant Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.06. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and Class specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Applicable Administrative Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Applicable Administrative Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Applicable Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by electronic communications or telecopy of a written Interest Election Request in the form of Exhibit D and signed by the Applicable Administrative Borrower, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Applicable Administrative Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

(c) Each written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the following information in compliance with

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

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

iii. whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

iv. the currency of the resulting Borrowing; and

v. if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

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

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

(e) If the Applicable Administrative Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the written request (including a request through electronic means) of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Applicable Administrative Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.07. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Applicable Administrative Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided, that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Commitments) and (ii) the Applicable Administrative Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments unless, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the Availability Conditions will be satisfied and no Cash Dominion Period will be triggered as a result therefrom.

(c) The Applicable Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.

Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Applicable Administrative Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Applicable Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Applicable Administrative Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage.

Section 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Holdings and the U.S. Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each U.S. Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) to the U.S. Borrowers on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (i) the date that is ten (10) Business Days after written request from the Swingline Lender and (y) the Maturity Date.

(b) The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each U.K. Loan to the U.K. Borrowers on the Maturity Date.

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class thereof and Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

Section 2.09. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.14), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.09(g), which notice shall be irrevocable except to the extent conditioned on a refinancing of all or any portion of the ABL Facility or the consummation of any other transaction.

(b) If at any time a U.K. Overadvance Amount exists (other than as a result of any Protective Advance), the U.K. Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, prepay the applicable Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(j)), in an aggregate amount equal to such U.K. Overadvance Amount.

(c) If at any time a U.S. Overadvance Amount exists (other than as a result of any Protective Advance), the Applicable Administrative Borrower shall, promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, prepay the applicable Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(j)), in an amount equal to such U.S. Overadvance Amount.

(d) In the event and on such occasion that the Global Exposure exceeds the Global Line Cap, the relevant Borrowers shall prepay the Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(e) In the event and on such occasion as the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the relevant Borrower shall deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(j) in an amount equal to such excess.

(f) If as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, on any Revaluation Date, (i) the total U.K. Exposure exceeds the U.K. Line Cap, (ii) the Revolving L/C Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (iii) the Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to all Alternate Currency Letters of Credit exceeds $30 million, the relevant Borrower shall within 5 days of such Revaluation Date (A) prepay U.K. Loans or (B) deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(j), in an aggregate amount such that the applicable exposure does not exceed the applicable commitment, sublimit or amount set forth above.

(g) Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Loans, the Applicable Administrative Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid (provided that prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans) and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment and (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. In accordance with paragraph (h) below, each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Global Exposures of the Lenders at the time of such repayment). Repayments of Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.

(h) Unless during a Cash Dominion Period, all mandatory prepayments shall be applied as follows: first, to the principal balance of the Loans subject to such mandatory prepayment until the same have been prepaid in full; and second, to cash collateralize all Letters of Credit plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (to be held and applied in accordance with Section 2.04 (j) hereof).

Section 2.10. Fees.

(a) The Lead Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, no later than five (5) Business Days following the last calendar day of each March, June, September and December and on the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein and thereafter on demand, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate multiplied by the average amount by which the Commitments (other than Commitments of a Defaulting Lenders) exceed the average daily balance of outstanding Loans during the Availability Period, including the stated amount of outstanding Letters of Credit during any fiscal quarter. All Commitment Fees shall be payable in Dollars and shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein.

(b) The Lead Borrower from time to time agrees to pay (i) to each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, no later than five (5) Business Days following the last calendar day of each March, June, September and December and on the date on which the Commitments shall be terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the Final Maturity Date or the date on which the Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Borrowings effective for each day in such period, it being agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.03, in calculating the Dollar Equivalent amount of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent may elect to employ the Spot Rate determined on the date such L/C Participation Fees are determined retroactively to each day for which such L/C Participation Fee is calculated and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account (x) no later than five (5) Business Days following the last calendar day of each March, June, September and December and the date on which the Commitments shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit (computed at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily stated amount of such Letter of Credit), plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Letter of Credit or any L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing fees and charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be payable in Dollars and shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(c) The Lead Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) in cash to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.

(d) All Fees with respect to which a payment date is not otherwise specified herein shall be payable quarterly in arrears no later than five (5) Business Days following the last calendar day of each March, June, September and December, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

(e) It is understood and agreed that the payment by the Lead Borrower of the fees required by this Section 2.10 (on behalf of itself and/or any other Borrower) is permitted under the Credit Agreement without requiring use of any carve-out from any provision of Article 6.

Section 2.11. Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) For so long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i), upon notice of the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) to the Lead Borrower, (i) any overdue Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount (including, but not limited to, fees to be paid under the Loan Documents), such other overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, (ii) on the earlier of (A) the termination of all of the Commitments and (B) the Maturity Date and (iii) on the date of each prepayment or repayment of such Loans; provided, that (x) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (y) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (z) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

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

Section 2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

i. the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Lead Borrower) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

ii. the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued as an ABR Borrowing without the utilization of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the ABR Rate on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing without the utilization of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the ABR Rate.

(b) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (a) have not arisen but (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate has made a public statement that the administrator of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate), (x) the administrator of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Eurocurrency Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor administrator that will continue publication of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Eurocurrency Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the applicable Eurocurrency Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Administrative Borrower shall select a comparable successor rate, and will promptly so notify each Lender. The Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.08, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (c) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) of Section 2.12(b), only to the extent the applicable Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), all Borrowings shall be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as an ABR Loan without the utilization of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the ABR Rate.

Section 2.13. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

i. impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate) or Issuing Bank;

ii. subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any additional Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes indemnified under Section 2.15 and (B) Excluded Taxes); or

iii. impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank or other applicable offshore interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein,

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the relevant Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The relevant Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the Lead Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the relevant Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.14. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (c) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Applicable Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the relevant Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in dollars of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Applicable Administrative Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The relevant Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.15. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except where required by applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent). If any applicable withholding agent shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) to the extent the deduction is on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Unless an additional amount has been paid under Section 2.15(a), each applicable Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party under any Loan Document and any Other Taxes payable by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Lender or Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax or backup withholding Tax with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Lead Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (or, in the case of UK withholding Tax, shall submit to the relevant Governmental Authority, as applicable, with a copy to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent), to the extent such Lender or Issuing Bank is legally eligible to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law,

such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law, or as may reasonably be requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to permit such payments to be made without such withholding Tax or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall deliver such forms, if legally eligible to deliver such forms, promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender or Issuing Bank. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States or other taxing authorities for such purpose).

(f) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.15(e) above:

(A) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent or as otherwise required by applicable law), two (2) executed originals, of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the relevant Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with forms and certificates described in clauses (i) through (iii) above (and additional Form W-8IMYs and if applicable, Form W-9) as may be required, provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, or (v) 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 the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(B) (i) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments to the extent necessary to comply with FATCA for which the Administrative Agent shall not have liability. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent for any losses it may suffer due to actions it takes to comply with FATCA. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent.

(C) Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Lender.

(D) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this section that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(g) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.15(e) above:

(A) Each Lender shall opposite its name in Schedule 2.01 confirm to the U.K. Borrowers and the Administrative Agent whether it is a Qualifying Lender as of the date of this Agreement and if so, which category of Qualifying Lender it falls into. Each Lender which becomes a party to a Loan Document after the date of this Agreement shall indicate in the Assignment and Acceptance which it executes on becoming a party to this Agreement, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the U.K. Borrowers, whether it is a Qualifying Lender and, if so, which category of Qualifying Lender it falls into. If an assignee fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.15 (g) then such assignee shall be treated for the purpose of this Agreement as if it is not a Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the U.K. Borrowers). For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Acceptance shall not be invalidated by any failure of an assignee to comply with this Section 2.15(g)(A).

(B) Subject to (C) below, each Lender and the U.K. Borrowers shall cooperate in completing as soon as reasonably possible any procedural formalities necessary to obtain authorization for each U.K. Borrower to make payments of interest under the Loan Documents without withholding or deduction or subject to a reduced rate of withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom and maintaining that authorization where an authorization expires or ceases to have effect.

(C) (i) A Lender on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement shall notify the U.K. Borrowers to that effect by confirming its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Schedule 2.01; and (ii) a Lender which becomes a Lender after the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme and wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall notify the U.K. Borrowers to that effect by confirming its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the Assignment and Acceptance it executes to become a Lender. A Treaty Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 2.15(e) in respect of withholding Tax imposed by the United Kingdom if it has confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with this Section 2.15(g)(C), for so long as such scheme reference number remains valid.

(D) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (g) (C) above, the U.K. Borrower shall duly complete and file HMRC form DTTP2 with HM Revenue & Customs within 30 days of the date of this Agreement in respect of a Lender falling within Section 2.15 (g)(C)(i) and within 30 days of the date of a Lender falling within Section 2.15 (g)( C) (ii) becoming a Lender under this Agreement (a “Borrower DTTP Filing”) with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing; provided that, if

(i) the U.K. Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender; or

(ii) the U.K. Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but either such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue and Customs or HM Revenue and Customs has not given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for United Kingdom Taxes within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing;

and, in each such case, the U.K. Borrower has notified that Lender in writing of either such circumstance, then such Lender and U.K. Borrower shall cooperate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary in an effort to obtain authorization as soon as reasonably possible for the U.K. Borrower to make that payment without withholding or deduction for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

(E) If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with Section 2.15 (g) (C) above, no U.K. Borrower shall make a DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s participation in any Loan unless the Lender agrees.

(F) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent if it determines that it has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender and the Administrative Agent shall deliver such notification to each U.K. Borrower.

(G) A Lender on the day on which this Agreement is entered into which indicates in Schedule 2.01 that it is a Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of limb (a)(ii) of the definition of Qualifying Lender gives a Tax Confirmation by entering into this Agreement.

(H) A Lender which gives a Tax Confirmation shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position to that set out in the Tax Confirmation and the Administrative Agent shall deliver such notification to the U.K. Borrowers

The provisions of this Section 2.15(g), as they apply to any U.K. Borrower, shall not apply to CGHL.

(h) If the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender or any member of its consolidated group has received a refund (in cash or as an offset against other Taxes of the same type payable) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or Lender in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority (plus any penalties, interest, or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such payment). This Section 2.15 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems in good faith to be confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (h) 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 had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

(i) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent that no Loan Party has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative 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 by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender or Issuing Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (i).

(j)

(A) All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any party to any Lender, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (a “Finance Party”) which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (B) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any party under a Loan Document and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party).

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

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

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

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

(D) Any reference in this Section 2.15(j) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994) or to any substantially similar concept under any equivalent legislation in any other jurisdiction, as appropriate.

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

Section 2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Unless otherwise specified, the relevant Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, 2.14, or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the Applicable Administrative Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. All payments under the Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars, except that the Borrowers shall repay Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency in such Alternate Currency. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent from the relevant Borrower to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due from such Borrower, such funds shall be applied pursuant to Section 5.02 of the U.S. Collateral Agreement if such insufficient funds relate to Obligations of the U.S. Borrowers, Clause 4 of the U.K. Security Trust Deed if such insufficient funds relate to Obligations of the U.K. Borrowers (other than CGHL) or Section 19 of the Gibraltar Security Agreement if such insufficient funds relate to Obligations of CGHL, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any mandatory prepayment shall be governed by Section 2.09(h).

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, participations in L/C Disbursements, Swingline Loans or any of the Obligations owed to such Lender resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans, participations in L/C Disbursements, Swingline Loans or any of the Obligations owed to such Lender and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in Loans, participations in L/C Disbursements, Swingline Loans or any of the Obligations owed to such Lender of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans, participations in L/C Disbursements, Swingline Loans or any of the Obligations owed to such Lender; provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall be under no obligation to do so), distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the

Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(d) or (e), 2.05(b) or 2.16(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The relevant Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.15, or any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if in respect of any Commitment or

(c) U.S. Loan and the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(d) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all Lenders or all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Lead Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B)) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank; provided, that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided, that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within three Business Days after the Lead Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 9.04 shall not be required to effect such assignment.

Section 2.18. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Lead Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings without reference to clause (c) of the ABR definition, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 2.19. Defaulting Lender.

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

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

ii. Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, following an Event of Default or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder, third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in a manner consistent with Section 2.04(j) except that such cash collateral shall only be held in respect of the Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender, fourth, as the Lead Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in a manner consistent with Section 2.04(j) except that such cash collateral shall only be held in respect of the Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender, sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

iii. Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee on the unutilized portion of its Commitment for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(A) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral.

(B) With respect to any Commitment Fee or L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Applicable Administrative Borrower shall (x) pay to each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender (a “Non-Defaulting Lender”) that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

iv. Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s. Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate U.S. Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

v. Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Lead Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(j) except that such cash collateral shall only be held in respect of such Fronting Exposure.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and, in the case of a U.S. Lender unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.19(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.20. Applicable Administrative Borrower and Lead Borrower. Each Loan Party hereby designates the Applicable Administrative Borrower and Lead Borrower, as applicable, as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates and financial reports and other notices and reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for consents, waivers,

amendments or other accommodations, and/or actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Applicable Administrative Borrower and the Lead Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any Notice of Borrowing) delivered by the Applicable Administrative Borrower or the Lead Borrower on behalf of any Loan Party, and any Notice of Borrowing, request for a Letter of Credit or designation of interest rate by the Applicable Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Applicable Administrative Borrower or Lead Borrower on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Applicable Administrative Borrower and the Lead Borrower for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Applicable Administrative Borrower or the Lead Borrower shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

Section 2.21. Protective Advances. The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall be authorized, in its discretion, following notice to the Lead Borrower, at any time, to make ABR Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) in an aggregate amount, together with the aggregate amount of all other Protective Advances, not to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base, if the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) deems such Protective Advances necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of the Obligations; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Loan Parties under any Loan Document, including costs, fees and expenses; provided that, Global Exposure shall not exceed the Commitments in effect at such time. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage. The Administrative Agent’s determination (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. The Administrative Agent may use the proceeds of such Protective Advances to (a) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (b) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien; provided that the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Lead Borrower after paying any such amount or taking any such action.

Section 2.22. Reserves. The Administrative Agent may at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion upon at least five Business Days’ (or in the case of mathematical or clerical errors, one Business Day’s) prior written notice to the Lead Borrower, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the Availability Reserve being established (during which period (a) the Administrative Agent shall, if requested, discuss any such Availability Reserve with the Lead Borrower and (b) the Lead Borrower may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve no longer exists or exists in a manner that would result in the establishment of a lower Availability Reserve in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), establish, amend or modify any Availability Reserve. No Availability Reserve may be taken after the Closing Date may be modified after the Closing Date, in either case based on circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies known to the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date for which no Availability Reserve was imposed on the Closing Date, unless such circumstances, conditions, events or contingencies have changed in any material adverse respect since the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (a) in no event shall any Availability Reserve with respect to any component of the Borrowing Base duplicate any Availability Reserve or adjustment already accounted for in determining eligibility criteria (including collection and/or advance rates) and (b) the amount of any such Availability Reserve (or change in Availability Reserve) and the scope of any change in eligibility standards shall be a reasonable quantification of the incremental dilution of the Borrowing Base attributable to the relevant contributing factor or shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve or change.

Section 2.23. Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Lead Borrower may, at any time, on one or more occasions pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Facility Agreement increase the aggregate amount of Commitments of any existing Class of Commitments or establish a new Class of Commitments (any such increase or new Class of Commitments, an

“Incremental Revolving Facility” and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000; provided that any new Class of Commitments shall be a “last-out” Incremental Revolving Facility that ranks junior in right of payment and/or security to this ABL Facility; provided, further, that:

i. Incremental Revolving Loans shall be available in Dollars only;

ii. unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, no Incremental Revolving Facility may be less than $5,000,000;

iii. except as separately agreed from time to time between the Lead Borrower and any Lender, no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment, and the determination to provide such Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender;

iv. no Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Revolving Loan (or the creation, provision or implementation thereof) shall require the approval of any existing Lender other than in its capacity, if any, as an Incremental Revolving Lender;

v. the terms of each Incremental Revolving Facility will be substantially identical to those applicable to this ABL Facility, except (A) with respect to structuring, commitment and arranger fees or other similar fees that may be agreed to among the Lead Borrower and the Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders and (B) with respect to any “last-out” Incremental Revolving Facility that ranks junior in right of payment and/or security to this ABL Facility, such Incremental Revolving Facility (x) shall be on terms (other than those described in clauses (y) and (z) below) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and subject to customary terms and conditions for “last-out” asset based credit facilities, (y) may have interest rate margins, unused line fees, a “LIBOR floor” and/or “ABR floor” and other economic terms that are agreed to among the Lead Borrower and the Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders and (z) shall have a later scheduled maturity date than the Final Maturity Date;

vi. no Event of Default shall exist immediately prior to or after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Facility;

vii. the final maturity of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be no earlier than the Final Maturity Date; and

viii. any Incremental Revolving Facility may rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and pari passu or junior in priority with respect to proceeds of Revolving Credit Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).

(b) Incremental Revolving Commitments may be provided by any existing Lender, or by any other lender (other than any Disqualified Institution) (any such other lender being called an “Additional Revolving Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to the relevant Additional Revolving Lender’s provision of Incremental Revolving Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Revolving Loans to such Additional Revolving Lender.

(c) Each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender providing a portion of any Incremental Revolving Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower all such documentation (including the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Agreement) as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence and effectuate such Incremental Revolving Commitment. On the effective date of such Incremental Revolving Commitment, (i) each Additional Revolving Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes in connection with this Agreement, (ii) all Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become Commitments for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and (iii) all Incremental Revolving Loans shall become U.S. Loans for all purposes in connection with this Agreement.

(A) certifying and attaching a copy of the resolutions adopted by the governing body or Board of Directors of the applicable Borrowers approving or consenting to such Incremental Revolving Facility or Incremental Revolving Loans, and

(B) to the extent applicable, certifying that the condition set forth in clause (a)(vi) above has been satisfied.

(e) (i) Upon the implementation of any Incremental Revolving Facility, each then-existing Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender, and each relevant Incremental Revolving Facility Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of such existing Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each deemed assignment and assumption of participations, all of the Lenders’ (including each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans shall be held ratably on the basis of their respective Commitments of the applicable Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.23) and (ii) the existing Lenders of the applicable Class shall assign Loans to certain other Lenders of such Class (including the Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility), and such other Lenders (including the Lenders providing the relevant Incremental Revolving Facility) shall purchase such Loans, in each case, to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders of such Class participate in each outstanding borrowing of Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments of such Class (after giving effect to any increase in the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.23); it being understood and agreed that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (e).

(f) On the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility, the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Swingline Sublimit permitted hereunder shall increase by an amount, if any, agreed upon by the (i) Administrative Agent, (ii) the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, and (iii) the Lead Borrower.

(g) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Incremental Facility Agreement and any other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new Classes in respect of Loans or Commitments increased or extended pursuant to this Section 2.23 and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.23.

(h) Notwithstanding to the contrary in this Section 2.23 or in any other provision of any Loan Document, if the proceeds on the date of effectiveness of any Incremental Revolving Facility are intended to be applied to finance a Permitted Business Acquisition and the Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality.

(i) This Section 2.23 shall supersede any provision in Section 2.16 or 9.08 to the contrary.

The Administrative Agent shall have (as applicable) springing control with respect to the Controlled Deposit Accounts pursuant to the Control Arrangements governing such accounts.

(h) Delivery of any reports, information and documents to the Agents is for informational purposes only and such Agent’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including each Borrower’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder.

(i) No Agent shall be (i) required to qualify in any jurisdiction in which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as such Agent or (ii) required to take any enforcement action against any Loan Party or any other obligor outside of the United States.

(j) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession, each Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Each Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and no Agent will be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by such Agent in good faith.

(k) No Agent will be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder. Each Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the present and future holders of the Obligations concerning the perfection or priority of the Liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

(l) In the event that any Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in such Agent’s sole discretion may cause such Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under any applicable environmental laws or otherwise cause such Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, such Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Agent or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. No Agent will be liable to any Person for any Environmental Claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of such Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any Release of any Hazardous Materials into the Environment.

Section 8.04. Reliance by each Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or conversation believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Credit Event, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or any Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to such Credit Event. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Lead Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless such Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances provided herein) and until such instructions are received, such Agent shall act, or refrain from acting as it deems advisable. If any Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders or required Lenders, as applicable, against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by

121

reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each 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. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall require any Agent to: (i) expend or risk its own funds or provide indemnities in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or power or (ii) otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

Section 8.05. Section 8.05. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of such Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Lead Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. Subject to Section 8.04, each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other Lenders); provided, that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Section 8.06. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, 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 investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 8.07. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, any Receiver or Delegate, and each of their respective affiliates, directors, officers and employees (collectively, the “Lender Indemnitees”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Lead Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Lead Borrower to do so), in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its aggregate Global Exposure and unused Commitments hereunder; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of L/C Disbursements owing to any Issuing Bank shall be considered to be owed to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Global Exposure) (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, charges, costs, expenses (including, but not limited to, legal expenses, which shall be limited to not more than one counsel for all Indemnitees, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per jurisdiction (and, solely in the event of any conflict of interest among the Indemnitees, one additional counsel) (and, if reasonably necessary, one applicable local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction to the relevant group of Indemnitees, taken as a whole)) or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Holdings, any Borrower or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates or by any Lender or other creditor or holder of securities of Holdings, any Borrower or their subsidiaries or Affiliates) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Lender Indemnitee, in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Lender

122

Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, charges, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Lender Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Lender Indemnitee, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Lender Indemnitee, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Lender Indemnitee, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Lender Indemnitee, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of any Agent, payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the exercise of Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority with respect to any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution.

Section 8.08. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued, or Letter of Credit participated in, by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 8.09. Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign as in its capacity as such upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Lead Borrower, and the Required Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent for any reason upon 20 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent. If any Agent shall resign under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or is removed by the Required Lenders, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Lead Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of such Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as such Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. Prior to any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall, in the event that a successor Administrative Agent is being appointed at the time of such resignation or removal, take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. A retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall, in the event that a successor Administrative Agent is not appointed at the time of such resignation or removal, take all actions reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Required Lenders (for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 60 days) (including providing the Lead Borrower and the Required Lenders with a copy of the Registrar and other documents and information in the possession of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent that is reasonably requested by the Required Lenders or the Lead Borrower) in connection with (x) in the case of the Required Lenders, the Required Lenders’ performance of the duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and (y) in the case of the Borrowers, the Borrowers’ obligation to make payments directly to the Lenders and provide notices and information directly to the Lenders. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation or 20 days’ following a notice of removal, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.15 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the effectiveness of such resignation or retirement); provided that (A), solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case solely until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further

123

action under any Security Document), (B) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (C) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender. After any retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, as applicable, as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.09 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Any resignation or removal of Citi as Administrative Agent hereunder shall, unless Citi gives notice to the Lead Borrower otherwise, also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender effective as of the date of effectiveness of its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent as provided above; it being understood that in the event of any such resignation, any Letter of Credit then outstanding shall remain outstanding (irrespective of whether any amounts have been drawn at such time). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall, unless the Lead Borrower otherwise appoints any Lender that is willing to accept such appointment as successor Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder, succeed as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder by a successor Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, such successor Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, and the resigning Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations in such capacity hereunder. In the event the Swingline Lender resigns, the Borrowers shall promptly repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the effective date of such resignation (which repayment may be effectuated with the proceeds of a Borrowing).

Section 8.10. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.15, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.10. The agreements in this Section 8.10 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” in this Section 8.10 shall include any Issuing Bank.

Section 8.11. Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of each Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

iv. such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of each Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitment and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Each of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the U.K. Security Trust Deed, (b) consents to the terms of the U.K. Security Trust Deed, (c) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the U.K. Security Trust Deed and (d) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent to enter into the U.K. Security Trust Deed as agent for and on behalf of such Person, and by its acceptance of the benefits of the U.K. Security Trust Deed, hereby acknowledges and agrees to be bound by such provisions. Each of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties acknowledges and agrees that the Liens over the U.K. Collateral may be released in accordance with the terms of the U.K. Security Trust Deed or the U.K. Security Documents.

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

(c) Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received. Notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 9.01(b) above shall be effective as provided in such Section 9.01(b).

(d) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance the Lead Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of the certificates required by Section 5.04(c) to the Administrative Agent. Except for such certificates required by Section 5.04(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no

If the Lead Borrower elects to give any Instructions using Electronic Means and the Agent in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Agent’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Lead Borrower understands and agrees that the Agents cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Agents shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an authorized officer

126

listed on the incumbency certificate provided to such Agent have been sent by such authorized officer. The Lead Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring that only authorized officers transmit such Instructions to the Agents and that the Lead Borrower and all authorized officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by the Lead Borrower. No Agent shall be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from such Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Lead Borrower agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Agents, including without limitation the risk of such Agent acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Agents and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by the Lead Borrower; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the applicable Agent immediately upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures. “Electronic Means” shall mean the following communications methods: S.W.I.F.T., e-mail, facsimile transmission, secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys issued by the Agents, or another method or system specified by such Agent as available for use in connection with its services hereunder.

Section 9.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein, in the other Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and each Issuing Bank and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by such Persons or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, indemnification and reimbursement obligations contained herein (including pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.15 and 9.05) shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest hereunder, the expiration of the Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments or this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, and without prejudice to the survival of any other obligations contained herein, the obligations of each party contained in Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent and any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Lender or any Issuing Bank.

Section 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrowers and each Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrowers, each Issuing Bank, each Agent and each Lender and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Section 9.04. Success

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) except in connection with the addition of one or more Domestic Subsidiaries as a joint and several co-borrower hereunder or as a result of a transaction permitted by Section 6.05, and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 9.04), and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

127

(b) i. Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees other than Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Lead Borrower; provided, that no consent of the Lead Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person (other than a natural Person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below); and

(C) the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund (as defined below).

ii. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5.0 million in the case of Loans or Commitments, unless the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided, that (1) no such consent of the Lead Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(b), (c), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two (2) or more Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignment), if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that only one such fee shall be due in respect of a simultaneous assignment to more than one Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund;

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any Tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.15; and

(D) in no event may any Lender assign any portion of its Loans or Commitments to an Affiliate of Holdings, the Borrowers or any other Loan Party.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural Person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

iii. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest

128

assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.05, if applicable). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 9.04.

iv. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and interest amounts) of the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

v. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), all applicable Tax forms, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent promptly shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b)(v).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) the Assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance and that it is not an Ineligible Institution; (iv) the Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 (or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04), and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) the Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) the Assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) the Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) i. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and

129

directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that (x) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 9.04(a)(i) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender.

ii. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Lead Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or the entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) of 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 and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). For purposes of this paragraph, any Conduit Lender shall be treated as a participant. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) 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 and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) The Lead Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each of the Borrowers, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each Agent, each other party hereto and each Borrower for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment may be made or participation sold to an Ineligible Institution without the prior written consent of the Lead Borrower; provided that any such Ineligible Institution shall not retroactively be disqualified from being a Lender or a participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Lead Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to monitor whether assignments or participations are made to Ineligible Institutions, and that none of the Lead Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall bring a claim to such effect.

130

Section 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay, within thirty (30) days following receipt of a reasonably-detailed invoice therefor, (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by each Agent, the Arrangers and the Initial Lenders in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and initial and ongoing Collateral examination and the reasonable fees, disbursements and charges of counsel to the Agents, Arrangers and the Initial Lenders) or in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of (x) Latham and Watkins LLP, counsel to the Agents, Arrangers and Lenders and (y) any special or local legal counsel (limited to one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) as shall be reasonably determined to be necessary by the Agents, Arrangers or the Initial Lenders, and (ii) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses (including Other Taxes) incurred by any Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, Arrangers and Lenders (which shall be limited to (w) a single firm of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (x) a single firm of counsel to the Lenders taken as a whole (which firm shall be determined by the Required Lenders), (y) if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction material to the interests of the Administrative Agent, Arrangers and the Lenders taken as a whole and, (z) solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of similarly situated affected parties).

(b) The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Agents, the Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, trustees and advisors (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations liabilities, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates or by any creditor or holder of securities of Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, obligations, liabilities, penalties, actions, judgements, suits, costs or related expenses or disbursements are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (for purposes of this proviso only, each of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, any Arranger or any Lender shall be treated as several and separate Indemnitees, but each of them together with its respective Related Parties, shall be treated as a single Indemnitee) or a material breach by such Indemnitee or its Related Parties of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers agree to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements (limited to not more than one counsel, plus, if necessary, one local counsel per jurisdiction (and, solely in the event of any conflict of interest among the Indemnitees, one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one applicable local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction to the relevant group of Indemnitees, taken as a whole) for one group of Indemnitees similarly situated that is subject to such conflict)) (except the allocated costs of in-house counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any claim related in any way to Environmental Laws and Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on, from or to any Real Property; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final

131

and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or a material breach by such Indemnitee or its Related Parties of its obligations under the Loan Documents. No party hereto shall be responsible or liable to any other party hereto or any of their respective subsidiaries, Affiliates or stockholders or any other Person or entity for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, which may be alleged as a result of the ABL Facility. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable within thirty (30) days following written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested. The Lead Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of each applicable Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnitee shall be required to refund or return any amount paid by Holdings, the Lead Borrower and/or any Subsidiary in accordance with the terms hereof for any claim, damage, loss, liability and/or expense to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of the relevant amount in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 9.05(a) with respect to Other Taxes, which shall not be duplicative with any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.15, this Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses with respect to a non-Tax claim, and which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.15.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive the resignation or removal of any Agent, any Issuing Bank, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each Lender, Agent and Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender, Agent and Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank may have.

Section 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

132

Section 9.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Lead Borrower and the Required Lenders, and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the applicable Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall

i. decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any L/C Disbursement, or extend the stated expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, except as provided in Section 2.04(c); provided that any amendment to the financial covenant definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i),

ii. increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender (other than with respect to any Incremental Revolving Facility pursuant to Section 2.23 in respect of which such Lender has agreed to be an Incremental Revolving Facility Lender) or decrease the Commitment Fees, Issuing Bank Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender),

iii. decrease the fees of any Lender or Agent without the prior written consent of such Lender or Agent, as applicable,

iv. extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

v. amend the provisions of Section 5.02 of the U.S. Collateral Agreement, or any analogous provision of any other Security Document, in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

vi. amend or modify the provisions of this Section 9.08 or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date),

vii. release all or substantially all the Collateral or release any of Holdings or all or substantially all of the Borrowers from their respective Guarantees under applicable Security Documents, unless, in the case of a Loan Party (other than Holdings and the Lead Borrower), all or substantially all the Equity Interests of such Loan Party is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of each Lender;

133

viii. effect any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments or collateral of Lenders participating in any ABL Facility differently from those of Lenders participating in another ABL Facility, without the consent of the Required Lenders participating in the adversely affected Facility (it being agreed that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment or Commitment reduction required by Section 2.09 so long as the application of any prepayment or Commitment reduction still required to be made is not changed);

ix. change the definition of the term “U.K. Borrowing Base” or “U.S. Borrowing Base” or any component definition of any thereof (including the definitions of “Eligible Concession Accounts” or “Eligible Inventory”), in each case the effect of which change would increase amounts available to be borrowed, except with the consent of Lenders having Global Exposure and unused Commitments representing more than 66-2/3% of the sum of the aggregate Global Exposure and such unused Commitments of all Lenders at such time; provided that (A) the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Administrative Agent to change, establish or limit Availability Reserves without the consent of any Lender and (B) notwithstanding the lead-in to this Section 9.08(b), the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required to make any change described in this clause (ix); and/or

x. make changes to the order of application of funds or any related definitions (as used therein) or amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender specified in Section 7.03 of this Agreement, Section 5.02 of the U.S. Collateral Agreement, Clause 4 of the U.K. Security Trust Deed, Section 19 of the U.K. Security Agreement or Section 19 of the Gibraltar Security Agreement, as applicable, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent or an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of any Agent or such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender.

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

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Lead Borrower (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents and modifications necessary to correct obvious errors and/or omissions may be made with the consent of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may also amend Schedule 2.01 hereto to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04 and incurrences of Incremental Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.23 or reductions or terminations of Commitments.

134

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the conditions precedent to any initial extension of credit on the Closing Date set forth in Section 4.01 and Section 4.02 may be waived or modified solely with the consent of the Initial Lenders and (ii) the conditions precedent to any extension of credit after the Closing Date set forth in Section 4.02 may be waived or modified by the Required Lenders.

Section 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided, that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

Section 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fee letter entered into between the Lead Borrower and any Agent in connection with this Agreement, including for the avoidance of doubt the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

Section 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic transmission pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

Section 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

135

Section 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the general and exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the County of New York (the “Federal District Court”, and together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”), and appellate courts from either of them;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that the New York Courts and appellate courts from either of them shall be the exclusive forum for any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and that it shall not initiate (or collusively assist in the initiation or prosecution of) any such action or proceeding in any court other than the New York Courts and appellate courts from either of them; provided that

Section 9.17. Platform; Borrower Materials. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”), and (b) 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 Borrowers or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (i) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” each Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the applicable Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC,” unless a Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material nonpublic information: (1) the Loan Documents, (2) any notification of changes in the terms of the credit facilities and (3) all information delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a) and/or (b).

137

Section 9.19. Judgment 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 the Administrative 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 the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders 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 the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Lead Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers hereby waive and release any claims that it may have against the Agent and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
