Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Loan Party agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.16 of the Guarantee Agreement, the New Loan Party by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor which is a Foreign Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Foreign Guarantor and the New Loan Party hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as a Foreign Guarantor thereunder but, in any event, subject to the guarantee limitation provided for under Section 2.01(b) of the Guarantee Agreement, to the effect that, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Guarantee Agreement, the maximum liability of the New Loan Party thereunder shall be limited in accordance with such Section 2.01(b) as if it were originally named therein. Each reference to a “Foreign Guarantor” in the Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Loan Party. The Guarantee Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with the proviso to Section 2.01 of the Guarantee Agreement the guarantee of the New Loan Party pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement shall be limited to the Foreign Obligations.

SECTION 3. This Supplement 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. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Loan Party and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other customary means of electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guarantee Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto 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 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Guarantee Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Loan Party shall be given to it in care of the U.S. Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
