ARTICLE II

The Credits

SECTION 2.01.Credit Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees (i) to make a Term Loan in Dollars to CCSC on the Effective Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Term Commitment and (ii) to make Tranche A Revolving Loans in Dollars or one or more Alternative Committed Currencies to any of CCSC or any Subsidiary Borrower (other than a French Borrower) from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Tranche B Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Tranche B Revolving Loans in Dollars or one or more Alternative Committed Currencies to any French Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. All Loans outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement on the Effective Date shall be deemed to constitute Tranche A Revolving Loans hereunder. Amounts repaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. During the Revolving Credit Commitment Period each Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event may Revolving Loans be borrowed under this Article II if, after giving effect thereto (and to any concurrent repayment or prepayment of Loans), (i) the Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, (ii) the Aggregate Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect, (iii) the Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure of any Tranche A Revolving Lender would

exceed such Tranche A Revolving Lender’s Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment, (iv) the Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure of any Tranche B Revolving Lender would exceed such Tranche B Revolving Lender’s Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment, (v) the Assigned Dollar Value of all outstanding Alternative Committed Currency Loans denominated in Euros would exceed $1,500,000,000, (vi) the Assigned Dollar Value of all outstanding Alternative Committed Currency Loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling would exceed $1,000,000,000 or (vii) the Assigned Dollar Value of all outstanding Alternative Committed Currency Loans would exceed $1,500,000,000.

(b) The Revolving Loans and Term Loans may from time to time be (i) Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or (in the case of Revolving Loans) an Alternative Committed Currency, (ii) ABR Loans denominated in Dollars or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the relevant Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.02 and 2.03;provided that no such Loan shall be made as or converted to a Eurocurrency Loan after the day that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.

(c) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. 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.

(d) A Eurocurrency Loan may have an Interest Period of 1, 2 or 3 weeks (a “Weekly Eurocurrency Loan”);provided that, except with respect to any Loans made on the Effective Date, CCSC shall certify to the Administrative Agent that CCSC reasonably believes that such Loan, which is converted or continued pursuant to Section 2.03, or made pursuant to a Borrowing Request, will be repaid in full pursuant to Section 2.05 on or before the end of such Interest Period in connection with (i) a refinancing of the outstanding balance of such Loan other than pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the sale of equity securities of CCSC, the proceeds of which will be used to repay the Loan pursuant to Section 2.05.

SECTION 2.02.Procedure for Borrowing; Assigned Dollar Values. (a) Each Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to the limitations in Section 2.01(a)) or (in the case of CCSC) the Term Commitments by giving the Administrative Agent notice (a “Borrowing Request”), which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 11:00 a.m., London time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or (b) 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of an ABR Borrowing;provided that any such notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. The Borrowing Request for each Borrowing shall specify (i) whether the requested Borrowing is to be a Tranche A Revolving Credit Borrowing, a Tranche B Revolving Credit Borrowing or a Term Borrowing, (ii) the amount to be borrowed as measured in Dollars, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date (which must be the Effective Date, in the case of a Term Borrowing), (iv) whether the Borrowing is to be of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans, (v) if the Borrowing is to be of Eurocurrency Loans, the length of the initial Interest Period therefor, (vi) if the Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, whether it is to be denominated in either Dollars or a specified Alternative Committed Currency and (vii) the location and number of the relevant Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of this Agreement. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the Requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing (if denominated in Dollars) or a Eurocurrency Borrowing (if denominated in an Alternative Committed Currency). If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower thereunder shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(b) Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of (i) $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or (ii) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, if less, the aggregate amount of the then Available Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments or Available Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable. Subject to Section 2.13, Revolving Loans specified as an Alternative Committed Currency Borrowing shall be made in the Alternative Committed Currency specified in the applicable Borrowing Request in an aggregate amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Dollar amount specified in such Borrowing Request (as determined by the Administrative Agent based

upon the applicable Spot Exchange Rate as of the Denomination Date for such Borrowing (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error));provided,however, that for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) above, each Alternative Committed Currency Loan shall be deemed to be in a principal amount equal to its Assigned Dollar Value.

(i) the Dollar Equivalent thereof (as determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the applicable Spot Exchange Rate as of the Denomination Date for such Loan (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)) unless and until adjusted pursuant to the following clause (ii), and

(ii) if, as of any Revaluation Date, the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Committed Currency Loan (as determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the applicable Spot Exchange Rate as of the date that is three Business Days before such Revaluation Date (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)) would be at least 5% more, or 5% less, than the “Assigned Dollar Value”thereof at the time, then on and after such Revaluation Date the “Assigned Dollar Value”of such Loan shall be adjusted to be the Dollar Equivalent thereof determined based on the Spot Exchange Rate that gave rise to such adjustment (subject to further adjustment in accordance with this clause (ii) thereafter). The Assigned Dollar Value of an Alternative Committed Currency Loan included in such Borrowing plus the aggregate principal amount of any Loans denominated in Dollars included in such Borrowing.

(d) Upon receipt of a Borrowing Request from any Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of the requested currency and aggregate amount (in both the requested currency and Dollars) of such Borrowing and of the amount (in both the requested currency and Dollars) of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof, which shall be based on the respective Available Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Tranche A Revolving Lenders or the Available Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Tranche B Revolving Lenders, as applicable (in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing) or Term Commitments (in the case of a Term Borrowing), as applicable. Each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata portion of each such Borrowing available to

the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Borrower at (i) in the case of an Alternative Committed Currency Borrowing, the office of the Administrative Agent specified from time to time by the Administrative Agent as the place for payments in Euro or British Pounds Sterling, as applicable, in each case prior to 11:00 a.m., local time in the place of payment, and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the New York office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.01 prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by such Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent and, subject to Section 2.13, denominated in the requested currency. Amounts so received by the Administrative Agent will promptly be made available to the relevant Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent;provided that (i) proceeds of Term Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date to repay outstanding Revolving Loans and (ii) if on the Borrowing Date of any Revolving Loans to be made to any Borrower, any Swingline Loans made to such Borrower or LC Disbursements for the account of such Borrower shall be then outstanding, the proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall first be applied to pay in full such Swingline Loans or LC Disbursements, with any remaining proceeds to be made available to such Borrower as provided above andprovided further that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.03.Conversion and Continuation Options for Loans. (a) Each Borrower may elect from time to time to convert (i) Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans, by giving the Administrative Agent prior notice of such election not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to a requested conversion or (ii) ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior notice of such election not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, three Business Days prior to a requested conversion;provided that if any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans is made other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall pay any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.18 as a result of such conversion. Any such notice of conversion to Eurocurrency Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans may be converted

as provided herein;provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined that such a conversion is not appropriate and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrower may not elect to convert the currency in which any Loan is denominated; however, subject to the terms of Section 2.01 and Section 2.04, a Borrower may elect to prepay a Revolving Loan and refinance the amount of such Revolving Loan in another permitted currency.

(b) Any Eurocurrency Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the relevant Borrower giving prior notice to the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, three Business Days prior to a requested continuation setting forth the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans;provided that no Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable or (iii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.04 would be contravened; andprovided further, that if such Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this Section 2.03 or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso (or clause (ii) of the preceding proviso, in the case of Alternative Committed Currency Loans), then (A) in the case of Alternative Committed Currency Loans, such Loans shall continue as Eurocurrency Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate with an Interest Period of one month commencing on the last day of the then current Interest Period or (B) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period (in which case the Administrative Agent shall notify CCSC of such conversion).

SECTION 2.04.Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make swingline loans in Dollars (individually, a “Swingline Loan” and collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to any Borrower (other than a French Borrower) from time to

time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04,provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed $25,000,000 at any one time outstanding, (ii) the principal amount of any borrowing of Swingline Loans may not exceed the aggregate amount of the Available Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments of all Tranche A Revolving Lenders immediately prior to such borrowing or result in the Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding exceeding the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, and (iii) in no event may Swingline Loans be borrowed hereunder if (x) an Event of Default or Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) such Event of Default or Event of Termination shall not have been subsequently cured or waived. Amounts borrowed by any Swingline Borrower under this Section 2.04 may be repaid and, up to but excluding the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, reborrowed. All Swingline Loans shall at all times be ABR Loans. The relevant Swingline Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of any Swingline Loan requested hereunder (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed, and (B) the requested Borrowing Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the aggregate amount of such borrowing. Not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in such notice the Swingline Lender shall make such Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Swingline Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent set forth in Section 10.01 in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Amounts so received by the Administrative Agent will promptly be made available to the relevant Swingline Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of such Swingline Borrower on the books of such office with the amount made available to the Administrative Agent by the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. Each borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding the occurrence of any Event of Default or Event of Termination or noncompliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV or the minimum borrowing amounts specified in Section 2.02, if any Swingline Loan shall remain outstanding at 10:00 a.m.,

New York City time, on the fifth Business Day following the Borrowing Date thereof and if by such time on such fifth Business Day the Administrative Agent shall have received neither (i) a notice of borrowing delivered by the relevant Swingline Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 requesting that Revolving Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01 on the immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Swingline Loan, nor (ii) any other notice satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indicating such Swingline Borrower’s intent to repay such Swingline Loan on the immediately succeeding Business Day with funds obtained from other sources, the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have received a notice from such Swingline Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 requesting that ABR Revolving Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01 on such immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount equal to the amount of such Swingline Loan, and the procedures set forth in Section 2.02 shall be followed in making such ABR Revolving Loans,provided, that for the purposes of determining each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage with respect to such Borrowing, the Swingline Loan to be repaid with the proceeds of such borrowing shall be deemed to not be outstanding. The proceeds of such ABR Revolving Loans shall be applied to repay such Swingline Loan.

(c) If, for any reason, ABR Revolving Loans may not be, or are not, made pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.04 to repay any Swingline Loan as required by such paragraph, effective on the date such ABR Revolving Loans would otherwise have been made, each Tranche A Revolving Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall, without regard to the occurrence of any Default, purchase a participating interest in such Swingline Loan(“Unrefunded Swingline Loan”) in an amount equal to the amount of the ABR Revolving Loan which would otherwise have been made by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.04. Each Tranche A Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such participations shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender. All payments by the Tranche A Revolving Lenders in respect of Unrefunded Swingline Loans and participations therein shall be made in accordance with Section 2.14.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs if an Event of Default or Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Swingline Loan was made and such Lender shall have notified the Swingline Lender in

writing, at least one Business Day prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, that such Event of Default or such Event of Termination has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in Swingline Loans made while such Event of Default or such Event of Termination is continuing.

SECTION 2.05.Prepayments of Loans. (a) Each Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans (subject, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans to compliance with the terms of Section 2.18), in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent not later than (x) in the case of an Alternative Committed Currency Loan, 12:00 noon, London time, three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, and (y) in the case of a Loan denominated in Dollars, 12:00 noon, New York City time, two Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, specifying (i) the date and amount of prepayment, (ii) the Class of Loans to be prepaid and whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans, ABR Loans, or a combination thereof (including in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrowing to which such prepayment is to be applied and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each),provided that notice of any prepayment of Swingline Loans may be delivered to the Administrative Agent as late as, but no later than, 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such prepayment, and (iii) whether the prepayment is of Alternative Committed Currency Loans. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 (or the equivalent based upon Assigned Dollar Values) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 (or the equivalent based upon Assigned Dollar Values) in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof). Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof).

(b) In the event and on such occasion that (i) the Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment, CCSC shall prepay, or cause one or more of the Subsidiary Borrowers to prepay, Tranche A Revolving Credit Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the

Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess or (ii) the Aggregate Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment, CCSC shall cause one or more of the French Borrowers to prepay Tranche B Revolving Credit Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) In the event that as of any Revaluation Date in respect of an Alternative Committed Currency Borrowing the Assigned Dollar Value thereof shall either increase or decrease, then (i) on or prior to such Revaluation Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify CCSC and the Revolving Lenders of the amount of increase or decrease and the sum of the resulting Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure or the Aggregate Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure and (ii) in the case of an increase, if the resulting Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure or Aggregate Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment or the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, after giving effect to such increase, then CCSC shall, on the date such increase becomes effective, either (A) cause the Borrower in respect of such Alternative Committed Currency Borrowing to repay or prepay a portion thereof in an amount sufficient to reduce the Assigned Dollar Value of such Borrowing to an amount equal to the Assigned Dollar Value thereof before giving effect to such increase or (B) otherwise prepay or cause to be prepaid Tranche A or Tranche B Revolving Loans, as applicable, in an amount sufficient to reduce the Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure or Aggregate Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure, as applicable, after giving effect to such increase, to an amount less than or equal to the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment or the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable.

(d) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Cash Proceeds are received by or on behalf of CCSC or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, CCSC shall, immediately after such Net Cash Proceeds are received prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to (i) in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (a) of the definition thereof the Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage (as defined below) of such Net Cash Proceeds and (ii) in the case of all other Prepayment Events, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. "Asset Sale Prepayment Percentage" means (1) 100%, until there are no Term Loans outstanding and the Revolving Credit Commitments have been reduced to $2,400,000,000, (2) 0% thereafter, until the total amount of Net Cash Proceeds received thereafter in respect of Prepayment Events described in clause (a) of the definition of "Prepayment Event" equals the Term Loan

Reduction Amount, and (3) 50% thereafter. "Term Loan Reduction Amount" means the aggregate principal amount of Term Loan repayments and prepayments made by the Borrower but excluding the aggregate principal amount of mandatory prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.05(d).

SECTION 2.06.Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower (other than a French Borrower) may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by such Borrower to, or entered into by such Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $300,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment. With respect to any Letter of Credit which contains any “evergreen”automatic renewal provision, the

Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have consented to any such extension or renewal provided that all of the requirements of this Section 2.06 are met and no Default or Event of Default exists.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Tranche A Revolving Lender, and each Tranche A Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Tranche A Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Tranche A Revolving 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 reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the applicable Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the applicable Borrower prior to such time on such date, then

not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt;provided that the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the applicable Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Tranche A Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Tranche A Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply,mutatismutandis, to the payment obligations of the Tranche A Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Tranche A Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Tranche A Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Tranche A Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC 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 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, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the 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 the Issuing Bank;provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to such Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by the 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 wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the 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 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 Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify

the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder;provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Tranche A Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans;provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.09(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Tranche A Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among CCSC, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, CCSC shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued 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 an 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, on the Business Day

that CCSC receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Tranche A Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, CCSC shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon;provided that 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, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (i) of Section 7.01. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of CCSC under this Agreement and CCSC hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in respect of each such deposit and the account in which such deposits are held. 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 the Administrative Agent and at CCSC’s risk and expense, 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 the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of CCSC for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Tranche A Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If CCSC 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 CCSC within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.08.Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders (i) on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Revolving Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to

Section 2.04, Section 2.05, Section 2.13, Section 2.15, Section 4.02(d) or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan and each Swingline Loan made to it by each such Lender, in the applicable currency of such Loan, (ii) on the Non-Extended Term Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Non-Extended Term Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Non-Extended Term Loan held by each such Non-Extended Term Lender, in Dollars and (iii) on the Extended Term Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Extended Term Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 2.05 or Article VII), the unpaid principal amount of each Extended Term Loan held by each such Extended Term Lender, in Dollars. Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest in immediately available funds (in the applicable currency of each Loan) at the applicable office of the Administrative Agent (as specified in Section 2.14(a)) on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Term Loans made to it from time to time from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.09.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan, made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the applicable currency and amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.04, and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the currency of each Loan made hereunder, the amount of each such Loan, the Class and Type of each such Loan (including, if such Loan is a Term Loan, whether such Loan is a Non-Extended Term Loan or an Extended Term Loan), and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of each such Loan and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each Borrower in respect of each such Loan and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.08 and the Notes maintained pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.08 shall, to the extent per-

mitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each Borrower therein recorded;provided,however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Loans of each Class made by each Lender to each Borrower shall, if requested by the applicable Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced by a single Note duly executed on behalf of such Borrower, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, with the blanks appropriately filled, payable to the order of such Lender.

SECTION 2.09.Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, except in the case of Revolving Loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling which shall bear interest computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days) for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to:

(b) Each ABR Loan (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the

Alternate Base Rate plus (i) 2.50% (or, in the case of interest accruing on and after February 4, 2002, in respect of an Extended Term Loan, 3.50%) per annum, in the case of a Term Loan or (ii) 1.00% per annum, in the case of a Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any Facility Fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity thereof or by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of overdue principal (except as otherwise provided in clause (y) below), the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, Facility Fee or other amount, the rate described in Section 2.09(b) applicable to an ABR Revolving Loanplus 2% per annum, in each case from the date of such nonpayment to (but excluding) the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

Interest in respect of each Loan shall accrue from and including the first day of an Interest Period to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period.

Notwithstanding the above, to the extent CCSC or any of its Subsidiaries is permitted under this Agreement (as amended or amended and restated from time to time) to create, incur, assume or permit to exist any senior secured Indebtedness (a) the interest rate applicable to such senior secured Indebtedness shall be at least 0.25% less than the interest rate applicable to any Term Loan under this Agreement (“Interest Rate Differential”)or, (b) if not, CCSC shall, immediately after such senior secured Indebtedness is created, incurred, assumed or permitted to exist, enter into an amendment to this Agreement (in such form as reasonably required by the Administrative Agent) to increase the

interest rate applicable to any Term Loan under this Agreement so that the Interest Rate Differential is at least 0.25%.

SECTION 2.10.Computation of Interest. Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.11.Fees. (a) CCSC agrees to pay a facility fee (a “Facility Fee”) to each Revolving Lender, for which payment will be made in arrears through the Administrative Agent on the last day of March, June, September and December, and on the Facility Fee Termination Date (as defined below). The Facility Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the date of this Agreement and shall cease to accrue on the date (the “Facility Fee Termination Date”) that is the later of (i) the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein and (ii) the date after the end of the Revolving Credit Commitment Period on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. The Facility Fee accrued to each Revolving Lender shall equal 0.50% per annum multiplied by such Lender’s Facility Fee Average Daily Amount (as defined below) for the applicable quarter (or shorter period commencing on the date of this Agreement or ending with such Lender’s Facility Fee Termination Date). A Lender’s “Facility Fee Average Daily Amount”with respect to a calculation period shall equal the average daily amount during such period calculated using the daily amount of either (i) the Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (whether used or unused) for any applicable days during the Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Period or (ii) the Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure for any applicable days during the period subsequent to the Revolving Credit Commitment Period and ending on the Facility Fee Termination Date. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. CCSC shall pay all Facility Fees in Dollars.

(b) CCSC agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate of 2.00% per annum on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender

ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees (collectively, “LC Fees”) accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date;provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) CCSC agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative and other fees separately agreed upon by CCSC and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter to be payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account and the accounts of the other parties to the Fee Letter, payable at the times specified in the Fee Letter (the “AgentFees”). CCSC shall pay all Agent Fees in Dollars.

(d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders and the parties to the Fee Letter. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable.

SECTION 2.12.Termination, Reduction or Adjustment of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b) CCSC shall have the right, upon one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate or, from time to time, reduce the amount of the Tranche A

Revolving Credit Commitments or the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments;provided that, subject to paragraph (f) below, no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any repayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, (i) any Term Loans shall be outstanding (unless Term Lenders holding 100% of the outstanding Term Loans shall have approved such reduction or termination), (ii) the Aggregate Tranche A Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding would exceed the Total Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect or (iii) the Aggregate Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding would exceed the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments or Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, then in effect.

(c) If any prepayment of Term Borrowings would otherwise be required pursuant to Section 2.05 but cannot be made because there are no Term Borrowings outstanding, or because the amount of the required prepayment exceeds the outstanding amount of Term Borrowings, then, on the date that such prepayment is required, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the required prepayment, or the excess of such amount over the outstanding amount of Term Borrowings, as the case may be,provided that the allocation of such reduction between the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments and the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitments shall be at CCSC’s option.

(d) CCSC shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Lenders, on each date of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Facility Fee on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to the date of such termination or reduction.

(e) Each reduction or increase, as applicable, in the Tranche A Revolving Credit Commitments shall reduce or increase, as applicable, the Swingline Commitment by an equal percentage.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Section 2.12, on March 30, 2001, without any further action by any party hereto, (i) each Tranche B Revolving Lender’s Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment shall be permanently reduced by an amount equal to such Tranche B Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of $75,000,000 and (ii) each Tranche A Revolving Lender’s Tranche A Revolving Credit

Commitment shall be increased by an amount equal to such Tranche A Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of $75,000,000,provided that the foregoing adjustments shall not occur if (x) after giving effect thereto and to any repayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Aggregate Tranche B Revolving Credit Exposure then outstanding would exceed $250,000,000 or (y) CCSC shall have provided written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than March 28, 2001 that such adjustments should not occur.

SECTION 2.13.Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Unavailability of Deposits; Inadequacy of Interest Rate. (a) If prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days before the first day of any Interest Period, including an initial Interest Period, for a requested Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the currency in which any Eurocurrency Loan is denominated or the currency specified in the Borrowing Request for such Eurocurrency Borrowing (the “Applicable Currency”) for such Interest Period, or

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a majority in interest of the Lenders of the applicable Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period for the Applicable Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by 12:00 noon, London time, on the same day. If such notice is given under clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, then any affected Eurocurrency Loans shall not be converted or continued pursuant to Section 2.03 or made pursuant to a Borrowing Request, as the case may be, except as follows:

(I) In the case of Eurocurrency Loans that are Alternative Committed Currency Loans, the Borrowers so request, no later than 1:00 p.m., London time, on the same day, the affected Eurocurrency Loans shall be converted or continued pursuant to Section 2.03 or made pursuant to a Borrowing Request, as the case may be,

but with an Interest Period of one month and the amount of interest payable in respect of any such Eurocurrency Loan shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.13(a)(I):

(A) if the Administrative Agent so requires, within five days of such notification the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into negotiations with a view to agreeing on a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest (a “Substitute Interest Rate”) which may be applicable to affected Eurocurrency Loans in the future and any such Substitute Interest Rate that is agreed shall take effect in accordance with its terms and be binding on each party hereto; provided that the Administrative Agent may not agree on any such Substitute Interest Rate without the prior consent of each affected Lender;

(B) if no Substitute Interest Rate is agreed pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(I)(A), any such Eurocurrency Loan converted, continued or made by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(I) shall bear interest during the subsequent Interest Period at the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.09(a) except that in the place of the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall use the cost to the applicable Lender (as conclusively certified by such Lender to the Administrative Agent with a copy to the Borrowers and expressed as a rate per annum) of funding such Loan from whatever source it shall reasonably select; and

(C) if the Administrative Agent has required the Borrower to enter into negotiations pursuant Section 2.13(a)(I)(A), the Administrative Agent may (acting on the instructions of a majority in interest of the Tranche A Revolving Lenders) declare that no further Eurocurrency Revolving Loans denominated in such currency shall be converted, continued or made unless a Substitute Interest Rate has been agreed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent within 30 days of the Administrative Agent having so required negotiations.

(II) Alternatively, in the case of Eurocurrency Revolving Loans, if the Borrowers so request, no later than 1:00 p.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period, the affected Eurocurrency Revolving Loans shall be made in,

or prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05 and reborrowed in, a currency permitted under Section 2.01 other than the Applicable Currency (“Another Currency”) in an amount that is the Currency Equivalent of the Applicable Currency amount of the affected Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the first day of such Interest Period. The provisions of clauses (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above shall apply to the proposed Loans in Another Currency (except that the time for a determination by or notice to the Administrative Agent under clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) shall be 2:00 p.m., London time, on such day and the time for notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers and the Lenders shall be 3:00 p.m., London time, on such day), and should the Administrative Agent give a notice under clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above with respect thereto, then, unless the Borrowers request by 10:00 a.m., London time, on the following Business Day for the affected Loans to be converted, continued or made pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(I), such Loans shall be converted, continued or made in accordance with paragraph (III) below.

(III) Alternatively, (i) if the Borrowers fail to request that the affected Eurocurrency Loans be converted, continued or made pursuant to either paragraph (I) or (II) above or (ii) under the conditions provided in paragraph (II) above for this paragraph (III) to apply or (iii) if the affected Eurocurrency Loans are Term Loans, (x) any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans denominated in Dollars that, on the first day of such Interest Period, were to have been converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as or converted to ABR Loans and (z) any Eurocurrency Revolving Loans that are Alternative Committed Currency Loans shall be prepaid on the first day of such Interest Period and, if such day is during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, the Dollar Equivalent of such prepaid Revolving Loans may simultaneously therewith be reborrowed in Dollars as ABR Loans.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly withdraw such notice upon becoming aware that the circumstances giving rise thereto shall no longer exist. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the affected currency shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right (if the Applicable Currency is Dollars) to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans

denominated in the Applicable Currency, except as provided in Section 2.13(a)(I).

(b) If prior to 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days before the first day of an Interest Period for an Alternative Committed Currency Borrowing (including an initial Interest Period for a requested Alternative Committed Currency Borrowing) any Revolving Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that, in its reasonable and considered opinion, it would be unable at any cost, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market generally, to obtain matching deposits in the Applicable Currency at the required time and in sufficient amounts to fund its affected Revolving Loan, then such Lender shall not be required to make or maintain a Revolving Loan in the Applicable Currency. In such case, the Borrowers may request, no later than 1:00 p.m., London time, on the same day, that the affected Revolving Loan be made in, or prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05 and simultaneously therewith reborrowed in, Another Currency in an amount that is the Currency Equivalent of the Applicable Currency amount of the affected Revolving Loan on the first day of such Interest Period. The first sentence of this clause (b) shall apply to the proposed Revolving Loan in Another Currency (except that the time for notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be 2:00 p.m., London time, on such day) and should any Revolving Lender give a notice under this clause (b) with respect thereto, or should the Borrowers fail to request a Revolving Loan in Another Currency, then such Lender shall instead (as described in Section 2.13(a)(III) above) make the affected Loan in, or the Borrower shall prepay the affected Loan pursuant to Section 2.05 and reborrow in, Dollars on the first day of such Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall, no later than 3:00 p.m., London time, on such day, inform the Borrower if any Alternative Committed Currency Loans are to be made in or prepaid and reborrowed in Dollars pursuant to this Section 2.13(b). A Eurocurrency Borrowing comprised of two different currencies pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be referred to herein as a “Multicurrency Borrowing”.

SECTION 2.14.Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Lenders of either Class shall be madeprorata according to the amounts of such Revolving Lenders’ Commitment Percentages. Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Loans which are ABR Loans shall be madeprorata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such ABR Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class. Each payment (including each prepayment) by a

Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Loans which are Eurocurrency Loans designated by a Borrower to be applied to a particular Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be madeprorata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders of the applicable Class;provided that with respect to a single Multicurrency Borrowing payments made in the specific currency of Eurocurrency Loans that are part of such Multicurrency Borrowing shall be appliedprorataaccording to the outstanding principal amount of all Eurocurrency Loans included in such Multicurrency Borrowing that are denominated in such currency;provided further that if payments designated by the Borrower for a particular Multicurrency Borrowing are not denominated in the appropriate currencies required by the second succeeding sentence such that the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Lender of the affected Class will be reducedprorata in accordance with the Commitment Percentages of each Lender of the affected Class, then, the Administrative Agent shall convert a portion of such payments into the currencies required to so reduce the Revolving Credit Exposure of each Lender of the affected Classprorata after application of all such payments. Each payment (including each prepayment) by a Borrower on account of principal of and interest on Swingline Loans shall be madeprorata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Swingline Loans or participating interests therein, as the case may be, then held by the relevant Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by a Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 10:00 a.m., local time in the place of payment, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders of the applicable Class, at the Administrative Agent’s New York office specified in Section 10.01 (or, in the case of payments in Euro, Deutschmarks or French Francs, at the office of the Administrative Agent designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time as the place for payments in Euro) in the currency in which the applicable Obligation is denominated and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to

payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) Subject to Section 2.13, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.14(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Revolving Loans hereunder, on demand, from the relevant Borrower, but without prejudice to any right or claim that such Borrower may have against such Lender.

(c) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

SECTION 2.15.Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to

make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, continue Eurocurrency Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such time as the making or maintaining of Eurocurrency Loans shall no longer be unlawful, (b) such Lender's Loans denominated in Dollars then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law, and (c) such Lender's Eurocurrency Loans that are Alternative Committed Currency Loans, if any, shall be prepaid on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans (or within such earlier period as may be required by law).

SECTION 2.16.Requirements of Law. (a) The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Lender or the Issuing Bank for any increase in the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank in respect of, making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into, Eurocurrency Loans or participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, by reason of any requirements imposed by the Board upon the making or funding of Eurocurrency Loans or participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit. Such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and CCSC in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable directly to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, within five days of CCSC’s receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

(b) If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank (or a holding company controlling such Lender or Issuing Bank) and such Lender or the Issuing Bank determines (in its sole and absolute

discretion) that the rate of return on its capital (or the capital of its holding company, as the case may be) as a consequence of its Revolving Credit Commitment or the Loans made by it or its participations in Swingline Loans or any issuance, participation or maintenance of Letters of Credit is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank (or its holding company) could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender or the Issuing Bank to CCSC, the Borrowers shall immediately pay directly to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank (or its holding company) for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender or the Issuing Bank as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. In determining such amount, such Lender or the Issuing Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

(c) Neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 2.16 for any costs incurred or reductions suffered with respect to any date that it has such costs unless it shall have notified CCSC that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions under paragraph (a) or (b) above, as applicable, not more than 120 days after the later of (i) such date and (ii) the date on which it shall have become aware of such costs or reductions;provided that the foregoing shall in no way operate in derogation of the undertaking contained in the last sentence of this paragraph (c). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall demand compensation for any increased cost or reduction referred to above if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of the Issuing Bank or such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements. In the event that the Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that any event or circumstance that will lead to a claim under this Section 2.16 has occurred or will occur, the Issuing Bank or such Lender will use its best efforts to so notify CCSC;provided, that any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair the rights of the Issuing Bank or Lender to demand and receive compensation under this Section 2.16, but without prejudice to any claims of CCSC for compensation for actual damages sustained as a result of any failure to observe this undertaking.

SECTION 2.17.Taxes. All payments by each Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all

other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender (or any assignee of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or a participation holder or a change in designation of the lending office of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be (a “Transferee”)), but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the recipient’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then such Borrower will

(a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(b) promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(c) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, will equal the full amount such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or Transferee with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee hereunder, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender or Transferee may pay such Taxes and the applicable Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as shall be necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.

If the Borrowers fail to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, the respective Lenders or Transferees, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall

indemnify the Issuing Bank, Lenders and Transferees for any incremental Taxes, interest, penalties or other costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that may become payable by the Issuing Bank, any Lender or Transferee as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 2.17, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent to or for the account of the Issuing Bank, any Lender or Transferee shall be deemed a payment by a Borrower.

Each Lender or Transferee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States shall, on or prior to the Effective Date (in the case of each Lender that is a party hereto on the Effective Date) or on or prior to the date of any assignment or participation hereunder (in the case of a Transferee) and thereafter as reasonably requested from time to time by CCSC or the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver, if legally able to do so, to CCSC and the Administrative Agent one or more (as CCSC or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 or such other forms or documents (or successor forms or documents), appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Lender or Transferee is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of, withholding or deduction of Taxes.

With respect to obligations under this Agreement other than those specified in the immediately following paragraph, the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify or to pay any additional amounts to the Issuing Bank, any Lender or Transferee with respect to any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.17 to the extent that (i) any obligation to withhold, deduct or pay amounts with respect to such Tax existed on the date the Issuing Bank, such Lender or Transferee became a party to this Agreement (and, in such case, Borrowers may deduct and withhold such Tax from payments to the Issuing Bank, such Lender or Transferee), or (ii) any Lender or Transferee fails to comply in full with the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph (and, in such case, Borrowers may deduct and withhold all Taxes required by law as a result of such noncompliance from payments to the Issuing Bank, such Lender or Transferee).

With respect to Loans not denominated in Dollars and Loans made to non-U.S. Subsidiaries, each relevant Lender or Transferee shall determine the extent to which obligations to withhold, deduct or pay amounts with respect to Taxes would exist on the date such Lender or Transferee would make such Loans and shall disclose to CCSC such determination. Based on such determination, the applicable Borrower shall either agree (i) to indemnify or pay any such additional amounts to each such Lender or Transferee

pursuant to this Section 2.17 or (ii) that such Lender or Transferee shall not be obligated to make such Loansprovided,however, that in the event of a change in law or regulation such additional amounts shall be adjusted to reflect such change.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17, if the Internal Revenue Service determines that a Lender (or Transferee) is a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement as defined in Section 7701(l) of the Code and the regulations thereunder and the relevant Borrower was not a participant to such arrangement (other than as a Borrower under this Agreement) (a “Conduit Financing Arrangement”), then (i) the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay additional amounts or indemnify the Lender or Transferee for any Taxes with respect to any payments hereunder to the extent the amount of such Taxes exceeds the amount that would have otherwise been withheld or deducted had the Internal Revenue Service not made such a determination and (ii) such Lender or Transferee shall indemnify the Borrowers in full for any and all taxes for which a Borrower is held directly liable under Section 1461 of the Code by virtue of such Conduit Financing Arrangement;provided that such Borrower (i) promptly forwards to the indemnitor an official receipt or other documentation satisfactorily evidencing such payment, (ii) shall contest such tax upon the reasonable request of the indemnitor and at such indemnitor’s cost and (iii) shall pay to such indemnitor within 30 days any refund of such taxes (including interest thereon). Each Lender or Transferee represents that it is not participating in a Conduit Financing Arrangement.

Neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be entitled to payment under this Section 2.17 unless it shall have notified the applicable Borrower that it will demand such payment not more than 120 days after the date on which it shall have become aware that it was entitled to such payment;provided that the foregoing shall in no way operate in derogation of the undertaking contained in the last sentence of this Section 2.17. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.17, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall demand any payment referred to above if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of the Issuing Bank or such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements. In the event that the Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that any event or circumstance that will lead to a claim by it under this Section 2.17 has occurred or will occur, the Issuing Bank or such Lender will use its best efforts to so notify CCSC;provided, that any failure to provide such notice shall in no way impair the

rights of the Issuing Bank or any Lender to demand and receive compensation under this Section 2.17, but without prejudice to any claims of CCSC for failure to observe this undertaking.

SECTION 2.18.Indemnity. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss (other than lost profit) or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a Eurocurrency Loan) as a result of any conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan to an ABR Loan or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurocurrency Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.05, 2.08, 2.16 or 2.21 or otherwise, or any failure to borrow or convert any Eurocurrency Loan after notice thereof shall have been given hereunder, whether by reason of any failure to satisfy a condition to such borrowing or otherwise; then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such Borrower shall, within five days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on such Borrower.

SECTION 2.19.Change of Lending Office. Each Lender (or Transferee) agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 with respect to such Lender (or Transferee), it will, if requested by CCSC, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender (or Transferee)) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event,provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its respective lending offices to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, andprovided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.19 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender (or Transferee) pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17.

SECTION 2.20.Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against a Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of

the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans or participations in LC Disbursements which at the time shall be due and payable as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements which at the time shall be due and payable shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and participations in such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Loans and participations in LC Disbursements as prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event;provided,however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan or an LC Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.20 shall be deemed to require any Term Lender to take any action which is inconsistent with the priority repayment rights of the Term Lenders over the Revolving Lenders provided in the Collateral Sharing Agreement.

SECTION 2.21.Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. In the event that any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.13(b), 2.15 or 2.16, or the Borrowers shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.17, CCSC shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an assignee (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) approved by the Administrative

Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to such assignee;provided,however, that no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment unless (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any law or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority and (ii) such assignee or the Borrowers shall pay to the affected Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made by such Lender and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans held by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder (including, without limitation, any Facility Fees).

CCSC has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to any of them that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the best of CCSC’s knowledge, neither this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of CCSC in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Information Memorandum) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or in the Pledge Agreements, the Loan Parties shall not be required to pledge the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Loan Party) so long as the value of such Equity Interests is not material and such Foreign Subsidiary is organized in a jurisdiction that renders the pledging of such Equity Interests unreasonably burdensome, in each case determined by the Administrative Agent based on information provided to it by CCSC.

SECTION 5.12.Further Assurances. (a) CCSC will, and will cause each Subsidiary Loan Party to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), which may be required under any applicable law, or which the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or to grant, preserve, protect or perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents or the validity or priority of any such Lien, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. CCSC also agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

ARTICLE VIII

The Agents

In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, The Chase Manhattan Bank is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any such Lender, hereby irrevocably authorizes each of the Agents to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or assignee and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to such Agent by the terms and

111

provisions hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, all payments and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to any of the Borrowers of any Default specified in this Agreement of which such Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement as received by such Agent.

Neither Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable to the Lenders as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them except for its or his or her own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in any Loan Document. The Agents shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or other instruments or agreements. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Lenders) and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders. Each Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Neither any Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall have any responsibility to the Loan Parties on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender or the Loan Parties of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. Each Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through any of its Related Parties or any sub-agent appointed by it and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder

112

and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

The Lenders hereby acknowledge that neither Agent shall be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of any Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by such a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent.

With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its individual capacity and not as an Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with CCSC or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any

113

other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender and to exercise its rights and perform its obligations thereunder.

ARTICLE IX

Guarantee

SECTION 9.01.Guarantee. In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to execute and deliver this Agreement and to make or maintain the Loans and to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, and in consideration thereof, CCSC hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Agents, for the ratable benefit of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each Subsidiary Borrower when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, and CCSC further agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in enforcing any of their rights under the guarantee contained in this Article IX. The guarantee contained in this Article IX, subject to Section 9.04, shall remain in full force and effect until all Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary Borrower have terminated, the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto any Subsidiary Borrower may be free from any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations.

CCSC agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to either Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on account of its liability under this Article IX, it will notify such Agent, the Issuing Bank and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under the guarantee contained in this Article IX for such purpose. No payment or payments made by any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person or received or collected by either Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender from any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application, at any time or from time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of CCSC under this Article IX which, notwithstanding any such payment or payments, shall remain liable for the unpaid and

114

outstanding Subsidiary Borrower Obligations until, subject to Section 9.04, the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.

SECTION 9.02.Amendments, etc., with respect to the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations. CCSC shall remain obligated under this Article IX notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against CCSC, and without notice to or further assent by CCSC, any demand for payment of or reduction in the principal amount of any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations made by the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may be rescinded by the Agents, the Issuing Bank or such Lender, and any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations continued, and the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, and this Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in connection herewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Lenders (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender for the payment of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Agents, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Article IX or any property subject thereto.

SECTION 9.03.Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. CCSC waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Article IX or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article IX; the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article IX, and all dealings between CCSC or the Subsidiary Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article IX. The Agents will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, request payment of any

115

Subsidiary Borrower Obligation from the applicable Subsidiary Borrower before making any claim against CCSC under this Article IX, but will have no further obligation to proceed against a Subsidiary Borrower or to defer for any period a claim against CCSC hereunder. Except as expressly provided in the preceding sentence, CCSC waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon CCSC or any Subsidiary Borrower with respect to the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations. The guarantee contained in this Article IX shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by either Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, (b) the legality under applicable laws of repayment by the relevant Subsidiary Borrower of any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or the adoption of any applicable laws purporting to render any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations null and void, (c) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by CCSC or the applicable Subsidiary Borrower against the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, or (d) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of CCSC or any Subsidiary Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Subsidiary Borrower for any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, or of CCSC under the guarantee contained in this Article IX, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When either Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender is pursuing its rights and remedies under this Article IX against CCSC, either Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by either Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Subsidiary Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Subsidiary Borrower or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve CCSC of any liability under this Article IX, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders against CCSC.

116

SECTION 9.04.Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Article IX shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by either Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Subsidiary Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Subsidiary Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

SECTION 9.05.Payments. CCSC hereby agrees that any payments in respect of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations pursuant to Article IX will be paid without setoff or counterclaim, at the option of the Issuing Bank or the relevant Lender(s), in Dollars or in the applicable Alternative Committed Currency (if applicable) at the applicable office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.01.

SECTION 9.06.Independent Obligations. The obligations of CCSC under the guarantee contained in this Article IX are independent of the obligations of each Subsidiary Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against CCSC whether or not the relevant Subsidiary Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. CCSC waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the relevant Subsidiary Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Subsidiary Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to CCSC.

Union;provided further that any consent of CCSC otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) 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 (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest 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 or the remaining portion of an 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 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (f) of this Section.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York 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 Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements, and participations in Swingline Loans, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Except to the extent inconsistent with Section 2.08(d), the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above and, if required, the written consent of CCSC, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. No assignment shall be

122

effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of CCSC, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it);provided,however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 and the provisions of Section 5.01 to the same extent as if they were Lenders and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04 (provided that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the interest transferred unless such transfer to such Participant is made with CCSC’s prior written consent, except that this proviso shall not apply to any Tranche A Revolving Lender which is a Participant in a Tranche B Revolving Loan) and (iv) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (except in the case of a Participant that is a Tranche A Revolving Lender and holds a participation in the Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment or Tranche B Revolving Loan of a Tranche B Revolving Lender) such Lender shall retain the sole right (which each Lender agrees will not be limited by the terms of any participation agreement or other agreement with a participant) to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents (other than, without the consent of the Participant, amendments, modifications or waivers described in the first proviso of Section 10.08(b) that affect such Participant) except Chase Manhattan International Limited may allocate any proportion of its Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment or Tranche B Revolving Loans in order to vote separate portions thereof in accordance with the direction of any Participant that (x) purchased any such portion on or before the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and (y) was a Tranche B Revolving Lender immediately prior to such purchase. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.20 as though it were a Lender.

123

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to CCSC and its Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties;provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by any Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information.

(h) 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 this Section 10.04 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. In order to facilitate such a pledge or assignment, each Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to such Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder.

(i) The Borrowers shall not assign or delegate any of their rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void;provided that any Subsidiary Borrower may assign and delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder to one or more other Subsidiary Borrowers which shall assume the same upon notice and the delivery of a reasonably satisfactory assignment and assumption agreement and a Subsidiary Borrower Closing Certificate (modified to reflect an assignment rather than the making of a Loan) to the Administrative Agent but without any prior consent. With respect to any Loan with respect to which CCSC is the Borrower, CCSC may assign or delegate (pursuant to an agreement of assignment and acceptance approved by the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and upon delivery of a Subsidiary Borrower Closing Certificate (modified to reflect an assignment rather than the making of a Loan)) to a Subsidiary Borrower such of CCSC’s rights or obligations pursuant to such Loan as are rights or obligations such Subsidiary Borrower would have assumed if such Subsidiary Borrower were the original

124

Borrower with respect to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.01, and CCSC may not assign or delegate any other rights or obligations with respect to such Loan or otherwise hereunder, including without limitation CCSC’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.11 or Article IX.

SECTION 10.05.Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement (including its rights under this Section), the other Loan Documents or the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender,provided,however, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay for expenses incurred by a Lender in connection with the assignment of Loans to an assignee Lender (except pursuant to Section 2.21) or the sale of Loans to a participant pursuant to Section 10.04.

(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons and each of their respective Related Parties (other than agents or advisors) (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, 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

125

or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property owned or operated by CCSC or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability or Environmental Claim related in any way to CCSC or the Subsidiaries;provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related reasonable expenses arise (a) in connection with any action by any stockholder or creditor of the Indemnitee (in its capacity as such) or (b) by reason of the Indemnitee’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(c) To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to either Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (other than syndication expenses);provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the applicable Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share”shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each 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 or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

126

(e) The provisions of this Section 10.05 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 Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, 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 or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 10.06.Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default or Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender 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 to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. In connection with exercising its rights pursuant to the previous sentence, a Lender may at any time use any of such Borrower’s credit balances with the Lender to purchase at the Lender’s applicable spot rate of exchange any other currency or currencies which the Lender considers necessary to reduce or discharge any amount due by such Borrower to the Lender, and may apply that currency or those currencies in or towards payment of those amounts. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify CCSC and the Administrative Agent after making any such setoff.

SECTION 10.07.Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN 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.

SECTION 10.08.Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of either Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any power or right 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

127

power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether an Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Intercreditor Agreement nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties or other Persons that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders;provided,however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement, or postpone the scheduled date of termination of any Commitment, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change or extend the Commitment or decrease the Facility Fee or LC Fee of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.14, the provisions of this Section, the definition of “Required Lenders”, or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (iv) release any Loan Party from its Guarantee under Article IX or a Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly provided in this Agreement or such Guarantee Agreement), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender,

128

(v) release all or any substantial part of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Security Documents) or materially and adversely affect allocations due to the Lenders under the Intercreditor Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class or (vii) change any provision of any Loan Document in a manner which by its terms adversely affects the rights of Term Lenders to receive prepayments on Term Loans and distributions in respect of Collateral prior to Revolving Lenders without the written consent of each Term Lender;providedfurther that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of either Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

(c) A Tranche B Revolving Lender may allocate any proportion of its Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment or Tranche B Revolving Loans with respect to any waiver, amendment, modification, consent or any other action pursuant to this Section 10.08 or any other Loan Document in order to vote separate portions thereof differently with respect thereto.

SECTION 10.09.Interest Rate. (a)Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender

129

holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

(b) Effective Global Rate. In order to fulfill the obligations imposed by articles L. 313-1 and L. 313-2 of the French Consumer Code (“Code de la Consommation”), Chase Manhattan International Limited represents to the French Borrowers, who accept such representation, that the effective global rate (“taux effectif global”) calculated in accordance with the articles referred to above, on the basis of a 365-day year, is 4.70191% per annum. The effective global rate(“taux effectif global”) was calculated on the basis of utilization of the Total Tranche B Revolving Credit Commitment, on February 28, 2001 and LIBO for an Interest Period of six months on February 28, 2001 of 4.70191%. Such rate is given on an indicative basis and shall not be binding on the Lenders in the future.

SECTION 10.10.Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 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 10.11.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 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

130

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 10.11.

SECTION 10.12.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 10.13.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 10.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.14.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.

SECTION 10.15.Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may other-

131

wise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby designates and appoints CCSC at its offices at One Crown Way, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as its agent to receive service of any and all process and documents on its behalf in any legal action or proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.15 in the State of New York and agrees that service upon such agent shall constitute valid and effective service upon such Subsidiary Borrower and that failure of CCSC to give any notice of such service to any such party shall not affect or impair in any way the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.

(e) Each Subsidiary Borrower, to the extent that such Subsidiary Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property or assets, hereby waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being understood that the waivers contained in this paragraph (e) shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended, and are intended to be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal for the purposes of such Act).

132

SECTION 10.16. Judgments Relating to Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such lossprovided that if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor, the Applicable Creditor agrees to remit such excess to such Borrower. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 10.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 10.17.Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ investment advisors, directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors and any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements entered into in connection with a Lender’s outstanding Loans from time to time or to such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and, in the case of any such contractual counterparty or its professional advisor, such persons shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this

133

Section 10.17), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of CCSC or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than CCSC or one of its Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from CCSC relating to it or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by CCSC or one of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 10.18.Joint Liability of French Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each French Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable (“codébiteur solidaire”) for all the other Subsidiary Borrower Obligations of the French Borrowers.
