(a) All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with, GAAP, consistently applied, and in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the audited financial statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, except as specifically provided herein or as disclosed in the relevant financial statements; provided that if any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Company or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided, further, that until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in

37

accordance with GAAP consistently applied prior to such change and (ii) the Company shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change.

(b) Any financial ratio set forth herein shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.4, (i) all calculations, ratios and computations with respect to leases existing as of the date hereof and entered into from time to time hereafter may continue to be calculated, classified and accounted for in conformity with GAAP as in effect on a basis consistent with that reflected in the audited financial statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015; provided however, that the Company may elect, with notice to Administrative Agent, to treat operating leases as capital leases in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time and, upon such election, and upon any subsequent change to GAAP therefor, the parties will enter into negotiations in good faith in an effort to preserve the original intent of the financial covenants set forth herein; and (ii) for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Debt of the Parent and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.

1.5 Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. The Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent Amount of Credit Extensions and outstanding amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Parent hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent Amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, as applicable.

1.6 Additional Alternative Currencies.

(a) The Company may from time to time, on its own behalf or on behalf of another Borrower, request that Eurocurrency Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars and those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lenders.

38

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender thereof. Each Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans) or the applicable Issuing Lender (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by a Lender or an Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.6, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Company. In connection with any such consent, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Parent only, amend, modify or supplement this agreement (including the definitions of Business Day, Eurocurrency Rate, Interest Period and LIBOR Quoted Currency) solely as necessary to reflect the addition of the applicable currency as an Alternative Currency hereunder.

1.7 Change of Currency.

(a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the relevant interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be

39

appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(c) If a change with respect to Euro occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, then this Agreement (including the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (and, to the extent an Event of Default does not exist, the Company) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrowers in the same position, as close as possible, that they would have been in if no change with respect to Euro had occurred.

(d) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency and will put the Lenders and the Borrowers in the same position, as close as possible, that they would have been in if no such change had occurred.

1.8 Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any LC Application or document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

1.9 Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or with respect to any rate that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rate (including, without limitation, any LIBOR Successor Rate) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes.

42

(i) elect, as of any Business Day, to convert any outstanding Revolving Loan denominated in Dollars or any outstanding Term Loan into a Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as applicable, of the other Type applicable thereto; or

(ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an aggregate amount not less than the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $3,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of 500,000 units of the Applicable Currency) for a new Interest Period.

(c) If upon expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, the applicable Borrower has failed to timely select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Loans for a one-month Interest Period effective on the last day of such expiring Interest Period.

43

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Loan Notice pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 or, if no timely notice is provided by the applicable Borrower, of the details of any automatic conversion or continuation.

(e) During the existence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, if the Required Lenders elect to prohibit such Conversion or Continuation, no Borrower may elect to have (i) Base Rate Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans converted into, or any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans continued as, Eurodollar Loans; (ii) Canadian Prime Rate Loans converted into, or any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars continued as, Eurocurrency Loans; or (iii) any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans in an Alternative Currency (other than, with respect to Domestic Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Dollars) continued for an Interest Period longer than one month.

(f) If (i) the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 12.2 or (ii) an Event of Default exists and has been continuing for 30 consecutive days, then the Required Lenders may require, by notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, that all outstanding Eurocurrency Loans in an Alternative Currency be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent Amount thereof on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (unless repaid prior to such date).

2.3 Letter of Credit Procedures.

2.3.1 LC Applications. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Company delivered to the applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of an LC Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Such LC Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail, by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable Issuing Lender, by personal delivery or by any other means acceptable to such Issuing Lender. Such LC Application must be received by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such LC Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated, which shall be Dollars or an Alternative Currency, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than seven days prior to the scheduled Termination Date unless the Company has Cash Collateralized such Letter of Credit or agreed that not less than 30 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date it will Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit) and whether such Letter of Credit is to be transferable. So long as the applicable Issuing Lender has not received written notice from any party to this Agreement that (a) the conditions precedent set forth

44

in Section 11 with respect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit have not been satisfied, or (b) any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the applicable Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Company or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.10.1(d)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other LC Obligations as to which such Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion, such Issuing Lender shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender and of any amendment thereto, extension thereof or event or circumstance changing the amount available for drawing thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(b) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.3.2 Participations in Letters of Credit. Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, at the Effective Time), the applicable Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Revolving Lender, and each other Revolving Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such other Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility, in such Letter of Credit and the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. For the purposes of this Agreement, the unparticipated portion of each Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the applicable Issuing Lender’s “participation” therein.

2.3.3 Reimbursement Obligations. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Company shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such Issuing Lender (at its option) shall have notified the Company (either generally or with respect to a particular Letter of Credit) that such Issuing Lender will require reimbursement in Dollars or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Company shall have notified such Issuing Lender promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Company will reimburse such Issuing Lender

45

in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Company of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by an Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars or (ii) the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by an Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), or (in each case) not later than the time specified above on the Business Day immediately following the Honor Date if the Company does not receive notice of the applicable payment by 10:00 a.m. on the Honor Date (in which case the Company shall pay interest on the amount of the applicable payment for the period from the Honor Date to the date such payment is due at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of a payment in Dollars, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (y) in any other case, the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be its cost of funds in the applicable currency for such period plus the Eurocurrency Margin), the Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent for each payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company honoring any demand for payment made by the beneficiary thereunder. If the Company fails to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender by the date and time specified in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Percentage thereof. In such event, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans to be disbursed on such date in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitment Amount and the conditions set forth in Section 11.2.1. Any Unreimbursed Amount not reimbursed on the date required above shall bear interest from the date such Unreimbursed Amount was due to the date such amount is paid (by the making of Base Rate Loans or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Base Rate Margin plus, beginning on the third Business Day after receipt of notice from such Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement, 2%. The applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the Company and the Administrative Agent whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder; provided that the failure of such Issuing Lender to so notify the Company shall not affect the rights of such Issuing Lender or the Lenders in any manner whatsoever.

2.3.4 Limitation on Obligations of Issuing Lenders. Each Revolving Lender and the Company agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. The Company hereby

46

assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Company’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (i) of Section 2.3.10; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may have a claim against the applicable Issuing Lender, and such Issuing Lender may be liable to the Company, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Company which the Company proves were caused by such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and an Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. Any applicable Issuing Lender may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

2.3.5 Funding by Lenders to Issuing Lenders. If an Issuing Lender makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and such payment or disbursement is not reimbursed (by the making of Base Rate Loans or otherwise) by the date and time specified in Section 2.3.3 or if any reimbursement received from the Company in respect of a payment or reimbursement under any Letter of Credit is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, each other Revolving Lender shall be obligated to fund its participation in such Letter of Credit by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its pro rata share (according to its Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility), in Dollars, of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment by any Lender shall diminish the obligations of the Company under Section 2.3.3), and upon notice from the applicable Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each other Revolving Lender of such obligation. Each other Revolving Lender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to so pay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, in immediately available funds for the applicable Issuing Lender’s account the amount of such other Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of such payment or disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars, or if requested by such Issuing Lender, the equivalent amount thereof in another Alternative Currency as determined by the Administrative Agent at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined as of such funding date) for the purchase of such Alternative Currency with Dollars. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which such Revolving Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after noon on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next

47

following Business Day), such Revolving Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the applicable Issuing Lender’s account forthwith on demand for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (a) for the first three days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and (b) thereafter, the Base Rate from time to time in effect. Any Revolving Lender’s failure to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of such payment, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of any such payment or disbursement.

2.3.6 Information regarding Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Lender agrees, upon request of the Administrative Agent, to deliver to the Administrative Agent a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, together with such information related thereto as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Administrative Agent agrees, upon request of any Lender, to deliver to such Lender a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit, together with such information related thereto as such Lender may reasonably request.

2.3.7 Applicants. If the Company requests the issuance of any Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries, the Parent or such Subsidiary shall be jointly and severally obligated with the Company to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for any payment or disbursement in respect of such Letter of Credit (and references in this Section 2.3 to the Company shall, to the extent appropriate, be deemed to include the Parent or such Subsidiary with respect to such Letter of Credit).

2.3.8 Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Company when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (a) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (b) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits Publication No. 600 (the “UCP”) or such version of the UCP as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

2.3.9 Cash Collateral. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the outstanding amount of all LC Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the outstanding amount of all LC Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

2.3.10 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Company to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each LC Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

48

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(h) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Company or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(i) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that

49

might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any Subsidiary;

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to punitive or consequential damages or lost profits, claims in respect of which are waived by such Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions by Issuing Lender constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

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

2.4 Swing Line Loans.

2.4.1 Swing Line Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swing Line Lender shall from time to time make loans to (x) any Borrower in Dollars, (y) any Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars and (z) any UK Borrower in Euros or Sterling (each a “Swing Line Loan” and collectively the “Swing Line Loans”) in accordance with this Section 2.4 in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed (a) in the case of Dollar Swing Line Loans, the Dollar Swing Line Sublimit, (b) in the case of AC Swing Line Loans, the AC Swing Line Sublimit, (c) in the case of UK Swing Line Loans, the UK Swing Line Sublimit and (d) in the case of Canadian Swing Line Loans, the Canadian Swing Line Sublimit. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.4 may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the Termination Date.

2.4.2 Swing Line Loan Procedures. The applicable Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly inform the Swing Line Lender) of each proposed Swing Line Loan, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Swingline Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Swingline Loan Notice. Each Swingline Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) in the case of a Dollar Swing Line Loan, 1:00 p.m. on the proposed date of such Swing Line Loan, (ii) in the case of a UK Swing Line Loan, 1:00 p.m., London time, on the proposed date of such Swing Line Loan, (iii) in the case of a Canadian Swing Line Loan, 1:00 p.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on the proposed date of such Swing Line Loan or (iv) in each case, such later time as the Swing Line Lender may approve in its sole discretion. Each such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day), the Applicable Currency and the amount (which shall be an integral multiple of 100,000 units of the Applicable Currency) of such Swing Line Loan. So long as the Swing Line Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11 with respect to the making of such Swing Line Loan have not been satisfied, the Swing Line Lender shall make the requested Swing Line Loan. The Swing Line Lender shall pay over the requested amount to the applicable Borrower on the requested borrowing date. Concurrently with the making

50

of any Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred, and each other Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and received from the Swing Line Lender, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such other Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility in such Swing Line Loan (but such participation shall remain unfunded until required to be funded pursuant to Section 2.4.3).

2.4.3 Prepayments of Swing Line Loans. Each Borrower may from time to time prepay without premium or penalty the Swing Line Loans of such Borrower in whole or in part, in a principal amount that is an integral multiple of 100,000 units of the Applicable Currency. The applicable Borrower will deliver a Notice of Loan Prepayment to be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later (a) in the case of Dollar Swing Line Loans, 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day of such prepayment, (b) in the case of AC Swing Line Loans, 1:00 p.m., Local Time on the Business Day of such prepayment or (c) in each case, such later time as the Swing Line Lender shall approve in its sole discretion, specifying the Swing Line Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of such prepayment.

2.4.4 Refunding of, or Funding of Participations in, Swing Line Loans. The Swing Line Lender may at any time, in its sole discretion, on behalf of any applicable Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the applicable Borrower) requesting that each Revolving Lender (including the Swing Line Lender in its individual capacity) make a Revolving Loan (which shall be (i) in the case of a Dollar Swing Line Loan, a Base Rate Loan, (ii) in the case of an UK Swing Line Loan, a Daily Floating LIBOR Loan in the currency of such UK Swing Line Loan and (iii) in the case of a Canadian Swing Line Loan, a Canadian Prime Rate Loan) in such Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of the amount of such Swing Line Loan for the purpose of repaying such Swing Line Loan (and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds to repay the applicable Swing Line Loan); provided that if the conditions precedent to a borrowing of Revolving Loans are not then satisfied or for any other reason the Revolving Lenders may not then make Revolving Loans, then instead of making Revolving Loans, each Revolving Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) shall become immediately obligated to fund its participation in the applicable Swing Line Loan and shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender an amount in the Applicable Currency equal to such Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of such Swing Line Loan. If and to the extent any Revolving Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which such Revolving Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of its obligation to fund its participation in Swing Line Loans (it being understood that any such notice received after 12:00 noon on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next following Business Day), such Revolving Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Swing Line Lender’s account forthwith on demand for each day from the date such amount was to have been delivered to the Administrative Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect plus, beginning on the third Business Day after demand, 1% per annum. Any Revolving Lender’s failure to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the amount of a Swing Line Loan shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of such amount, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure

51

of any other Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent such other Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of any such amount.

2.4.5 Repayment of Participations. Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender of immediately available funds from or on behalf of the applicable Borrower (a) in reimbursement of any Swing Line Loan with respect to which a Revolving Lender has paid the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation therein or (b) in payment of any interest on such Swing Line Loan, the Administrative Agent will pay to such Revolving Lender its pro rata share (according to its Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility) thereof (and the Swing Line Lender shall receive the amount otherwise payable to any Revolving Lender that did not so pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan).

2.4.6 Participation Obligations Unconditional.

(a) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender the amount of its participation interest in any Swing Line Loan as provided in Section 2.4.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender or any other Person, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof, (iv) any termination of the Commitments or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, no Revolving Lender shall be required to purchase a participation interest in any Swing Line Loan if, prior to the making by the Swing Line Lender of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender received written notice from such Revolving Lender specifying that one or more of the conditions precedent to the making of such Swing Line Loan were not satisfied and, in fact, such conditions precedent were not satisfied at the time of the making of such Swing Line Loan.

2.5 Commitments Several. The failure of any Lender to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender.

2.6 Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to any Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to a Credit Extension are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

52

2.7 Subsidiary Borrowers.

(a) The Company, from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall identify the proposed Subsidiary Borrower and its jurisdiction of organization), may (i) add any Eligible Subsidiary in an Eligible Jurisdiction as a Subsidiary Borrower by delivery of an executed Subsidiary Borrower Supplement and (ii) request that any Eligible Subsidiary in any other jurisdiction become a Subsidiary Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward a copy of any such notice to each Lender. Upon delivery of the notice and Subsidiary Borrower Supplement (in the case of clause (i) above) or, in the case of clause (ii) above, upon the consent to such designation from the Administrative Agent and each Lender that is a Lender under the tranche (or tranches) to which such Eligible Subsidiary is being designated as Subsidiary Borrower, which consent in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, then such Eligible Subsidiary shall become a Borrower hereunder; provided that (x) such Eligible Subsidiary and the Company shall have delivered a Subsidiary Borrower Supplement to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each Lender) not later than five Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such designation; (y) to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself or any Lender) in writing at least five Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such designation, the Company shall have delivered all documents and information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” rules and regulations with respect to the proposed Subsidiary Borrower; and (z) prior to the making of any Credit Extension to such Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower shall have satisfied the conditions precedent set forth in Section 11.3.

(b) In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 2.7(a), an Eligible Subsidiary that would qualify as a Foreign Borrower may not be a Borrower hereunder if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the addition of such Eligible Subsidiary would (i) violate any applicable law or (ii) have any material adverse effect on the Lenders.

(c) Each Domestic Borrower shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for all of the Loans and other Obligations of each other Borrower. Subject to the provisions of each applicable Foreign Guaranty, the Obligations of all Subsidiary Borrowers that are Foreign Subsidiaries shall be several in nature. No Loan Party that is a Foreign Subsidiary shall be responsible for any Domestic Loan Party’s Obligations or such Domestic Loan Party’s failure to pay or perform its Obligations hereunder.

(d) So long as the principal of and interest on all Loans made to any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and all other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower in such capacity (other than (a) contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and as to which no claim has been made, (b) obligations and liabilities under Qualified Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Lender Party shall have been made and (c) Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or with respect to which other arrangements have been made that are reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender) shall have been fully performed, the Company may, upon not less than two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), terminate such Subsidiary’s status as a “Subsidiary Borrower”.

53

2.8 Currency Valuations. The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent Amount of each Loan and Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars on each Revaluation Date, and such determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent will provide the Company with the amount so determined upon request and, in any event, promptly following the end of each month.

2.9 Cash Collateral.

2.9.1 Certain Credit Support Events. If (a) an Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in any Unreimbursed Amount, (b) as of the Termination Date, any LC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding which has not been cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.3.1, (c) the Company shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 12.2, or (d) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender and the applicable Fronting Exposure has not been Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 2.3.1, the Company shall immediately (in the case of clause (c) above), or within one Business Day (in all other cases) following any written request by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than 105% of the applicable LC Obligations or, in the case of clause (d) above, the applicable Fronting Exposure (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (d) above, after giving effect to Section 2.10.1(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

2.9.2 Grant of Security Interest. The Company and each Defaulting Lender that provides Cash Collateral hereunder hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each applicable Issuing Lender and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all Cash Collateral granted by it pursuant hereto, including all deposit accounts and balances therein, and all other property provided as Cash Collateral, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.9.3. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or each applicable Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount required pursuant to Section 2.3.9 or this Section 2.9, the Company or the applicable Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Company or the applicable Defaulting Lender shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

2.9.3 Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.9 or Sections 2.10, 6.4.2 or 12.2 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LC Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

54

2.9.4 Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligation giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 15.9.1(y))) or (ii) upon the Company’s request if there exists Cash Collateral in excess of the requirements of this Section 2.9 or Section 2.3.9, as applicable, provided that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Company shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default.

2.10 Defaulting Lenders.

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

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 15.1.

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 7.5 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to an Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.9; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.9; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Loan Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or such Defaulting Lenders Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of any Unreimbursed Amounts in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded

55

its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.10.1(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.10.1(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Certain Fees.

(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 5.1 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.9.

(iii) With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), the Company shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) below, (y) pay to each applicable Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(d) Reallocation of Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of a Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 11.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting

56

Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 15.18, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in the foregoing clause (d) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.9.

2.10.2 Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lenders agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender (or a Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender in accordance with the clause (c) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”), the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders (and to the extent requested by any other Lender, pay to such other Lender the amount that would be payable to such other Lender pursuant to Section 8.4 if the applicable Borrower prepaid the portion of the Loans purchased from such other Lender on the date of such purchase) or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.10.1(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 3 RECORDKEEPING.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall record in its records the date, currency and amount of each Loan made by such Lender, each repayment or conversion thereof and, in the case of each Eurocurrency Loan, the dates on which each Interest Period for such Loan shall begin and end. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the unpaid Loans made by such Lender. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to repay the principal amount of the Loans made by such Lender together with all interest accruing thereon. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender (including on any Note) and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

57

In addition to the accounts and records referred to in the paragraph above, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

Section 4 INTEREST.

4.1 Interest Rates.

4.1.1 Interest Rates for Term Loans and Revolving Loans. Subject to Section 4.1.3, each Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date such Loan is advanced until such Loan is paid in full as follows:

(a) at all times such Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as applicable, is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin;

(b) at all times such Revolving Loan is a Canadian Prime Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Canadian Prime Rate Margin;

(c) at all times such Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as applicable, is a Eurocurrency Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to each Interest Period for such Loan plus the Eurocurrency Margin; and

(d) at all times such Revolving Loan or Term Loan, as applicable, is a Daily Floating LIBOR Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate applicable for such Loan plus the Daily Floating LIBOR Margin.

4.1.2 Interest Rates on Swing Line Loans. Subject to Section 4.1.3, the applicable Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Line Loan made to it at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of a Dollar Swing Line Loan, the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin, (ii) in the case of UK Swing Line Loans, the Daily Floating LIBOR Rate plus the Daily Floating LIBOR Margin and (iii) in the case of Canadian Swing Line Loans, the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Canadian Prime Rate Margin.

4.1.3 Interest Rates upon Default. Notwithstanding Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, (i) automatically if an Event of Default under Section 12.1.3 arising from any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy law (or similar insolvency law), or any dissolution or liquidation proceedings exists with respect to Parent or any Borrower and (ii) upon the written request of the Required Lenders at any time (and for so long as) any other Event of Default exists, the interest rate applicable to each Loan shall be increased by 2% per annum; provided that such increased interest rate shall not apply to obligations owed to a Defaulting Lender for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

4.2 Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan, Canadian Prime Rate Loan, Daily Floating LIBOR Loan and Swing Line Loan shall be payable in arrears on the

58

last Business Day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Accrued interest on each Eurocurrency Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period relating to such Loan (and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months, on each three-month anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period) and at maturity. After maturity, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.

4.3 Setting and Notice of Eurocurrency Rates. The applicable Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and notice thereof shall be given by the Administrative Agent promptly to the Company and each Lender. Each determination of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto, in the absence of demonstrable error. The Administrative Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Lender, deliver to the Company or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any applicable Eurocurrency Rate hereunder.

4.4 Computation of Interest. All determinations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) and Dollar Swing Line Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. All determinations of interest for Canadian Prime Rate Loans, CDOR Rate Loans and Loans denominated in Sterling or Australian Dollars, shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, and the actual number of days elapsed. All other computations of interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days, or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 7.1, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For the purpose of complying with the Interest Act (Canada), it is expressly stated that where interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based upon a 360-day period or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year (the “first rate”), the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which the first rate is equivalent is the first rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360, or such other number of days, as the case may be, and the parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material distinction between the nominal and effective rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates and that the calculations herein are to be made using the nominal rate method and not on any basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest. Each Canadian Borrower confirms that they fully understand and are able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to loans, advances, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement. Each Canadian Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Loan Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to them as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).

59

4.5 Obligations Several. Subject to the provisions of each applicable Foreign Guaranty, no Foreign Subsidiary Borrower shall be responsible for any other Borrower’s failure to pay any interest due hereunder.

Section 5 FEES.

5.1 Commitment Fee. Subject to Section 2.10, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, for the period from the date on which the Effective Time occurs to the Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate in effect from time to time of the daily average of such Revolving Lender’s Percentage with respect to the Revolving Facility of the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment Amount. For purposes of calculating usage under this Section, the Revolving Commitment Amount shall be deemed used to the extent of the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (but not Swing Line Loans) and the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit at such time. Such commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date for any period then ending for which such commitment fee shall not have theretofore been paid. The commitment fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

5.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) Subject to Section 2.10, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their respective Percentages with respect to the Revolving Facility a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the LC Fee Rate per annum in effect from time to time of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit (computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days); provided that, (i) automatically if an Event of Default under Section 12.1.3 arising from any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy law (or similar insolvency law), or any dissolution or liquidation proceedings exists with respect to Parent or any Borrower and (ii) at the written request of the Required Lenders, at any time any other Event of Default exists, the rate applicable to each Letter of Credit shall be increased by 2% per annum. The Letter of Credit fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (and, if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding on the Termination Date, thereafter on demand) for the period from the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit to the date such payment is due or, if earlier, the date on which such Letter of Credit expired or was terminated.

(b) The Company agrees to pay each Issuing Lender a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in the amount separately agreed to between the Company and such Issuing Lender.

(c) In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, the Company agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Lender, for its own account, such fees and expenses as such Issuing Lender customarily requires in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing and/or administration of letters of credit in similar situations.

60

5.3 Up-Front Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Lead Arrangers for the account of the Lenders such up-front fees as have been previously agreed to by the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders.

5.4 Administrative Agent’s and Lead Arrangers’ Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lead Arranger such fees as are mutually agreed to from time to time by the Company and the applicable Person.

provided, however, that (a) the final principal repayment installment of the Term Loans shall be repaid on the Term Loan Maturity Date and in any event shall be in an amount equal to

61

the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date, (b) if any principal repayment installment to be made by the Borrowers (other than principal repayment installments on Eurodollar Loans) shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be and (c) if any principal repayment installment to be made by the Borrower on a Eurodollar Loan shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such principal repayment installment into another calendar month, in which event such principal repayment installment shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day.

6.1.2 Revolving Loans. All Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Termination Date.

6.1.3 Swing Line Loans. All Swing Line Loans shall be repaid in full promptly following demand by the Swing Line Lender (and, in any event, on the Termination Date).

6.2 Changes in the Commitments.

6.2.1 Reductions and Termination of the Commitments.

(a) Voluntary. The Company may from time to time on at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or such lesser time as is approved by the Administrative Agent) received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Revolving Lender thereof) permanently reduce (subject to any subsequent permitted increase in the Revolving Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 6.2.2) the Revolving Commitment Amount to an amount not less than the Total Revolving Credit Exposure. Any such reduction shall be in an amount not less than $3,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Company may at any time on like notice terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of all Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and all other obligations of the Borrowers hereunder in respect of such Loans and Cash Collateralization in full or the issuance of backstop letters of credit, pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lenders, of all obligations arising with respect to the Letters of Credit (or other arrangements with respect to the Letters of Credit in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender). Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.2.1 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. All reductions of the Revolving Commitment Amount shall reduce the Revolving Commitments pro rata among the Revolving Lenders according to their respective Percentages with respect to the Revolving Facility.

(b) Mandatory. The aggregate Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the date of the Term Borrowing.

6.2.2 Increase in the Commitments.

62

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 15.1), the Company may, from time to time, by means of a letter delivered to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G, request that the Commitments be increased (which increase may take the form of an increase in the Revolving Commitments, or new revolving tranches (each such increase in Revolving Commitments or additional revolving tranche, a “Tranche Increase”) or additional term loan tranches (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”)); provided that (i) the aggregate amount of all such increases during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed the sum of (x) $500,000,000 plus (y) the amount of Loans voluntarily prepaid (with respect to the prepayment of any Revolving Loans, solely to the extent any such prepayment thereof is accompanied by a permanent reductions of the Revolving Commitments) (clauses (x), and (y), collectively, the “Fixed Incremental Amount”), plus (z) an unlimited amount so long as, in the case of this clause (z), the Secured Leverage Ratio, based on the most recently available quarterly or annual, as applicable, financial statements of the Parent and determined on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan and/or Tranche Increase as of such date (and treating each such Incremental Term Loan and/or Tranche Increase as fully drawn with the proceeds thereof not being netted in calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio except to the extent the proceeds thereof are used to permanently prepay Funded Secured Debt), would not exceed 2.75:1.00, (ii) any such increase in the Commitments shall be in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $25,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $500,000 (or such other amount as the Administrative Agent may agree in any particular instance), (iii) the Company may make a maximum of 10 such requests and (iv) any such Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan may be denominated in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency. The amount of any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed to have been incurred first under clause (z) above to the extent permitted and then, if clause (z) is unavailable, shall be deemed incurred under the Fixed Incremental Amount.

(b) Any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan may be effected by (i) increasing the Commitment of one or more Lenders which have agreed to such increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or (ii) adding one or more commercial banks or other Persons as a party hereto (each an “Additional Lender”; provided that each Additional Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Company and, unless the Additional Lender is an Affiliate or branch of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the Administrative Agent and, if such Additional Lender will have a Commitment to make revolving loans, the Issuing Lenders and the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) with a Commitment in an amount agreed to by any such Additional Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed, that no Commitment of any Lender shall be increased pursuant to this Section 6.2.2 without the consent of such Lender.

(c) Any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan shall be effective three Business Days (or such other period agreed to by the Administrative Agent, the Company and, as applicable, each Increasing Lender and each Additional Lender) after the date on which the Administrative Agent has received and acknowledged receipt of the applicable increase letters in the form of Annex 1 (in the case of an Increasing Lender) or Annex 2 (in the case an Additional Lender) to Exhibit G.

(d) As a condition precedent to any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan:

63

(i) the Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (A) a certificate of each Loan Party that will be a borrower under, or a guarantor of the obligations arising under, such Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan, signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party, (x) certifying and attaching resolutions of such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan, and (y) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase or addition,

(1) the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Section 9 and of the Loan Parties in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such increase, except (I) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (II) that for purposes of this clause (d)(i), the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 9.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 (to the extent that such financial statements are later than the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 9.4);

(2) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists; and

(3) the Parent is in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Section 10.6; and

(ii) opinion letters consistent with those delivered on the date of this Agreement, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent;

provided that, with respect to any Tranche Increase that constitutes a new tranche (and not an increase to an existing tranche) or Incremental Term Loan, in either case, incurred primarily to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, so long as such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated within 270 days of the date of execution of the definitive documentation for such Acquisition:

(A) the reference to “representations and warranties” in clause (i)(1) above shall refer only to the representations and warranties that constitute Specified Representations and the Limited Condition Acquisition Agreement Representations or, in each case, other customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” representations as are agreed to by the applicable Increasing Lenders or Additional Lenders;

64

(B) the condition set forth in clauses (i)(2) above shall be deemed satisfied so long as no payment or bankruptcy Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists as of the date of the execution of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition;

(C) the condition set forth in clause (i)(3) above will be tested as of the date of the execution of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition; and

(D) any opinion letter to the extent required to be delivered pursuant to clause (ii) above will be delivered on the date of the execution of the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition.

(e) In the case of an Incremental Term Loan only, this Agreement shall have been amended, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Lender providing such term loan tranche, to include such terms as are customary for a term loan facility and such economic terms, including pricing, fees, original issue discount and premiums, as the Company and each Lender providing such term loans shall agree (without the consent of any other Lender). In the case of a Tranche Increase constituting a new revolving tranche only, this Agreement shall have been amended, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Lender providing such new revolving tranche, to include such terms as are customary for a revolving facility and to include such economic terms as agreed to by the Company and each Lender providing such Tranche Increase constituting a new revolving tranche.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 6.2.2 and of the Commitment and Percentage of each Lender after giving effect thereto. The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including Section 15.1), the Administrative Agent, the Company, each Additional Lender and each Increasing Lender, as applicable, may make arrangements to stage the timing of any such increase to the then existing Revolving Commitment, or to cause an Additional Lender or an Increasing Lender to temporarily hold risk participations in the outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (rather than fund its Percentage of all outstanding Revolving Loans concurrently with the applicable increase), in each case with a view toward minimizing breakage costs and transfers of funds in connection with any increase in the Revolving Commitment Amount. The Company acknowledges that if, as a result of a non-pro-rata increase in the Revolving Commitment Amount, any Revolving Loans are prepaid or converted (in whole or in part) on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then such prepayment or conversion shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.4.

(g) Except as provided in clause (d) above, no increase in the Commitments may be effected if an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default exists on the date of such proposed increase. Except as set forth in clause (b) above, no consent of any Lender not participating in any Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan shall be required for

65

any such Tranche Increase or Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Section 6.2 (and amendments to effect such increases may be made in accordance with Section 15.1).

6.3 Extension of Termination Date and Term Loan Maturity Date.

6.3.1 Requests for Extension. The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 120 days and not later than 45 days prior to the Termination Date and/or the Term Loan Maturity Date then in effect (as applicable, the “Existing Termination Date”), request that each Revolving Lender and/or each Term Lender, as applicable, extend the Termination Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, for an additional one year (such request, a “Termination Date Extension Request”). Such Termination Date Extension Request shall set forth (A) any changes to interest rate margins, fees or other pricing that will apply to the extensions of credit by each Revolving Lender and/or each Term Lender, as applicable, that elects to agree to such Termination Date Extension Request (which may be higher or lower than those that apply before giving effect to such Termination Date Extension Request) and (B) any covenants or other terms (including, without limitation, the designation of new Borrowers subject to and in accordance with Section 2.7), in each case of clauses (A) and (B), that will apply solely to any period after the applicable Existing Termination Date (if any) applicable to any Lenders that elect to agree to such Termination Date Extension Request.

6.3.2 Lender Elections to Extend. Each Revolving Lender or Term Lender, as applicable, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 30 days prior to the Existing Termination Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether such Lender agrees to such Termination Date Extension Request. Each Revolving Lender or Term Lender, as applicable, that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date), it being understood that any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent of its determination on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to an extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than 29 days prior to the Existing Termination Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the immediately succeeding Business Day).

6.3.3 Additional Commitment Lenders. The Company shall have the right to replace any Non-Extending Lender with one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 15.9.1; provided that each such Additional Commitment Lender shall enter into an Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Existing Termination Date, undertake a Revolving Commitment or outstanding Term Loans, as applicable (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Revolving Commitment or Term Loans, as applicable, shall be in addition to such Lender’s then-existing Revolving Commitment and/or Term Loans, as applicable, hereunder).

6.3.4 Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders or the outstanding Term Loans of the Term Lenders, as

66

applicable, that have agreed so to extend the Termination Date (each, an “Extending Lender”) and the additional Revolving Commitments or extended Term Loans, as applicable, of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or outstanding Term Loans, as applicable, in effect immediately prior to the Existing Termination Date, then, effective as of the Existing Termination Date, the Termination Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date one year after the Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

6.3.5 Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. As a condition precedent to any extension, the Company shall (a) deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Existing Termination Date (for delivery to each Extending Lender and each Additional Commitment Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying that immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such extension, (i) the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in Section 9 and of the Loan Parties contained in the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Existing Termination Date, except (x) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (y) that for purposes of this Section 6.3.5, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 9.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 10.1.1 and 10.1.2; and (ii) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists; (b) to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver such documents as are necessary or appropriate to confirm that such extension has been approved or consented to by each Loan Party; and (c) pay all amounts payable hereunder to each Non-Extending Lender (other than contingent indemnification obligations). In addition, on the Existing Termination Date, the Borrowers shall make such other payments of Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 8.4) to the extent necessary to keep such outstanding Loans ratable with the respective Percentages of the Revolving Lenders or Term Lenders, as applicable, after giving effect to such extension, it being understood that such repayments may be funded with the proceeds of new Borrowings made simultaneously with such repayments by the Extending Lenders, which such Borrowings shall be made ratably by the Extending Lenders in accordance with their extended Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable. Except for those terms included in the Termination Date Extension Request or as otherwise agreed by each applicable Extending Lender and Additional Commitment Lender (with respect to terms that apply solely to any period after the applicable Existing Termination Date), the terms of the extended Revolving Commitments or extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall (x) be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except with respect to the extension of the Existing Termination Date) and (y) the extended Term Loans shall be subject to quarterly amortization consistent with Section 6.1.1 for the extended period.

6.3.6 Conflicting Provisions. Sections 6.2.2 and 6.3 shall supersede any provision in Section 7.6, 15.1 or 15.9 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that if the Company elects pursuant to Section 2.7 (or in a certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2.2(d)(i), but subject to the terms of Section 2.7) to designate an Eligible Subsidiary not organized in an Eligible Jurisdiction as a Subsidiary Borrower (x) under a Tranche Increase constituting a new revolving tranche or Incremental Term Loan or (y) in connection with a

67

Termination Date Extension Request, then only the consent of the Lenders (in addition to the Administrative Agent) that are Lenders under the applicable tranche (or tranches) to which the Company is electing to designate such Eligible Subsidiary as a Borrower shall be required.

6.4 Prepayments.

6.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Any Borrower may from time to time prepay any Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that the Company shall give the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender) a Notice of Loan Prepayment not later than 11:00 a.m. (a) on the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) in the case of Base Rate Loans, (b) on the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) in the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans, (c) (c) on the date of such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) in the case of Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, (d) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars and (e) four Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, in each case specifying the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of prepayment. Each partial prepayment of Loans shall be in a minimum Dollar Equivalent Amount of $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of 100,000 units of the Applicable Currency. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor shall include interest on the principal amount being repaid and shall be subject to Section 8.4. Swing Line Loans may be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.4.3. Unless otherwise directed by the Company, each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 6.4.1 shall be applied to the principal repayment installments thereof in direct order of maturity, including, without limitation, the final principal repayment installment on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Notice of Prepayment delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of other debt or equity issuances, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

6.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Asset Sales and Recovery Events. Within five (5) Business Days following each date on or after the Effective Time upon which any Domestic Loan Party or any Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Domestic Subsidiary) receives any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event (other than in respect of such Asset Sales or Recovery Events for which the Net Cash Proceeds do not exceed (x) $50,000,000 in respect of any individual Asset Sale or Recovery Event or (y) $75,000,000 in the aggregate during any Fiscal Year for all Asset Sales and Recovery Events that occurred during such Fiscal Year) the Company shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan in an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom in accordance with the requirements of this Section 6.4.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied to the extent the Company delivers to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate setting forth that portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that such Domestic Loan Party or such Domestic Subsidiary intends to (i) reinvest in the business of the Parent and its Domestic Subsidiaries or (ii) use to repurchase capital stock of the Parent within 12 months of such date of receipt (or a binding commitment to so reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds is entered into within 12 months of such date

68

of receipt), and no prepayment of Term Loans with such Net Cash Proceeds shall be required under this Section 6.4.2 to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are so reinvested or used to repurchase capital stock within 12 months of such date of receipt (or, if a binding commitment is entered into in accordance with the foregoing, such Net Cash Proceeds are so reinvested or used to repurchase capital stock within 6 months following such 12 month-period); provided, that any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not actually reinvested or used to repurchase capital stock within such 12 month period (or, if applicable, within 6 months following such 12 month period) shall be used to prepay the Term Loans on or before the expiration of such 12 month period (or, if applicable, such 18 month period); provided further, in the case of the repurchase of common stock of the Parent, (A) such repurchase is not otherwise prohibited hereunder and, (B) based on the most recently available quarterly financial statements of the Parent and determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such repurchase, the Secured Leverage Ratio shall be less than 3.50:3.50 to 1.00 and (C) the Elevated Covenant Period shall not then be in effect; provided, that any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds subsequently determined to not be applied or not actually applied as set forth in this clause (a) shall be promptly used to prepay the Term Loans.

(b) Restricted Debt Issuance. Immediately upon the receipt by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Restricted Debt Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(c) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this foregoing provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 6.4.2 shall be applied to the principal repayment installments of the Term Loan in direct order of maturity including, without limitation, the final principal repayment installment on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their Percentage in respect of the Term Facility.

(d) Subject to Sections 2.7(c) and 6.4.2(f), if on any date the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount, the Borrowers shall immediately, and without notice or demand, prepay Loans and/or Unreimbursed Amounts and/or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(e) Subject to Sections 2.7(c) and 6.4.2(f), if on any Revaluation Date the Alternative Currency Outstandings exceed 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Borrowers shall, within two Business Days after receipt of notice thereof, prepay Alternative Currency Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies in an amount sufficient to cause the Alternative Currency Outstandings to be equal to or less than the Alternative Currency Sublimit.

(f) Subject to Section 2.7(c), if on any date the Aga Outstandings exceed 101% of the Aga Sublimit, Aga shall, within two Business Days after receipt of notice thereof, prepay Loans in an amount sufficient to cause the Aga Outstandings to be equal to or less than the Aga Sublimit.

(g) Subject to Section 2.7(c), if on any date the Swedish Borrower Outstandings exceed 101% of the Swedish Borrower Sublimit, the Swedish Borrowers shall, within two Business Days after receipt of notice thereof, prepay Loans in an amount sufficient to

69

cause the Swedish Borrower Outstandings to be equal to or less than the Swedish Borrower Sublimit.

6.4.3 Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.4.2 to the contrary, in no event shall any payments under Section 6.4.2 by any Foreign Borrower, Foreign Subsidiary or Excluded Domestic Subsidiary be allocated to the repayment of any Obligation of a Domestic Loan Party or shall otherwise reduce the Obligations of a Domestic Loan Party.

Section 7 MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES.

7.1 Making of Payments. All payments of principal of or interest on the Loans, and of all commitment fees and Letter of Credit Fees, shall be made by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds without (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) setoff or counterclaim at the office specified by the Administrative Agent (a) in the case of principal and interest payments with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, in the Applicable Currency, and (b) in the case of any other amount, in Dollars or such other currency as shall be specified herein, in each case not later than noon (Local Time) on the date due; and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next following Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share (if any) of all such payments received in collected funds by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. All payments under Section 8.1 shall be made by the applicable Borrower directly to the Lender entitled thereto.

7.2 Application of Certain Payments. Subject to the requirements of Section 6.4, each payment of principal shall be applied to such Loans as the applicable Borrower shall direct by notice to be received by the Administrative Agent on or before the date of such payment or, in the absence of such notice, as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its discretion, provided that no payment pursuant to this Section 7.2 by any Foreign Borrowers or Excluded Domestic Subsidiaries shall be applied to or otherwise reduce the Loans of any Domestic Loan Party and no payment pursuant to this Section 7.2 by any member of the Aga Group shall be applied to or otherwise reduce the Loans of any other Loan Party other than another member of the Aga Group. Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, the Administrative Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment.

7.3 Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of commitment fees or Letter of Credit Fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day (unless, in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such immediately following Business Day is the first Business Day of a calendar month, in which case such date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day) and, in the case of a payment of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension.

7.4 Failure to Make Payments. Unless a Lender or a Borrower, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume

70

that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If a Lender or a Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Rate until the third Business Day after demand by the Administrative Agent and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (ii) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant obligation (or, if no interest rate is so specified, the Base Rate from time to time in effect). If and to the extent that a Borrower and a Lender shall both pay interest to the Administrative Agent for any period as a result of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.4, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the appropriate amount to the Person that made a payment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Nothing in this Section 7.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

7.5 Setoff. Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Lender have all rights of setoff and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, each Borrower agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may apply all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of any Borrower then or thereafter with the Administrative Agent or such Lender to the payment of any Obligations of such Borrower (or, subject to the limitations on joint and several liability set forth in Section 2.7(c), to the Obligations of another Borrower) hereunder, whether or not then due, provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Issuing Lender and each other Lender and their respective Affiliates and branches under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Issuing Lender, such Lender or their respective Affiliates and branches may have. Each Issuing Lender and each other Lender agrees to notify the applicable Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

7.6 Proration of Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 8.7 or 15.9 or any payment to the Swing Line Lender in respect of a Swing Line Loan) on account of principal of or interest on any of its Loans (or on account of its participation in any other Credit Extension) in excess of its pro rata share (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on their respective Loans

71

(or such participations) then held by them, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participation in the Loans (or sub-participations in the other Credit Extensions) held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them according to their respective Percentages; provided that if any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

7.7 Taxes.

7.7.1 Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by any applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, then such Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.7.5 or 7.7.6 below.

(b) If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (i) the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Borrowers or Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 7.7.5 or 7.7.6 below, (ii) the Borrowers or Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.7) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(c) If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable law other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (i) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as required by such law, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 7.7.5 or 7.7.6 below, (ii) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such law, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such law, and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 7.7) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

72

7.7.2 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.7.1, the Company or the applicable Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

7.7.3 Tax Indemnifications.

(a) Each of the Domestic Borrowers shall, and does hereby indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 7.7) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender or an Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Domestic Borrowers shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or an Issuing Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 7.7.3(b) below.

(b) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender (but only to the extent that no Borrower has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and any Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.9.2 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and any Borrower, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any amount at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (b).

7.7.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 7.7, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

73

7.7.5 Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or by Governmental Authorities of the applicable jurisdiction or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation either (i) set forth in Section 7.7.5(b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iv) below or (ii) required by applicable law other than the Code or the Governmental Authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), from and after the Effective Time, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed

74

copies of IRS Form W-8BENE (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

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

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

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

75

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

(v) Each Lender agrees that if any form, notification, confirmation (including Tax Confirmation) or certification it previously delivered or been treated as having given pursuant to this Section 7.7 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form, notification, confirmation or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(vi) If a Lender is not, or ceases to be, a UK Qualifying Lender, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company for the benefit of the Loan Parties. Without prejudice to the foregoing, each Lender shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent and the Company (if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Company) a written confirmation that it is or, as the case may be, is not a UK Qualifying Lender.

(vii) Each Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement on or after the Effective Time and makes a Credit Extension to a UK Borrower shall indicate either by means of a certification delivered to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit L or in the Assignment Agreement, as appropriate, upon becoming a Lender, which of the following categories it falls in (in relation to UK Borrowers): (A) not a UK Qualifying Lender; (B) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender or a UK Non-Bank Lender); (C) a Treaty Lender; or (D) a UK Non-Bank Lender.

7.7.6 Treaty Lender Filings. Notwithstanding Section 7.7.5(a), each Treaty Lender and each Borrower that makes a payment to which any Treaty Lender is entitled under a Loan Document shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax, including making and filing an application for relief under a double tax treaty.

76

Each Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Passport Scheme and desires that such scheme apply to this Agreement shall (a) in relation to a Treaty Lender that is a Lender as of the Effective Time, confirm that it wishes such scheme to apply to its Loans under this Agreement by including that Treaty Lender’s scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in Schedule 2.1 and (b) in relation to a Treaty Lender that becomes a Lender after the Effective Time, confirm to the Administrative Agent and the Company, within five Business Days of the date it becomes a Lender under this Agreement, that it wishes such scheme to apply to its Loans under this Agreement and provide the Administrative Agent and the Company with its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence and, having done so, such Treaty Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to Section 7.7.5 (with respect to any UK Borrower) or this Section 7.7.6. Following the receipt of such confirmation, the UK Borrower will file Form DTTP 2 in respect of such Lender with UK HMRC promptly, and in all cases within 30 days of the date such Lender became a Lender under this Agreement, and shall promptly deliver a copy of such filed Form DTTP 2 to the relevant Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent).

7.7.7 Treatment of Certain Refunds.

(a) Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.7, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Borrower under this Section 7.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to any Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax or other liability giving rise to the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been incurred. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(b) If any Borrower determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 7.7, it shall pay to the relevant Lender or Issuing Lender an amount equal to such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Borrower in obtaining such refund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Borrower be required to pay any amount to a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection if such payment would place such Borrower in a less favorable net

77

after-Tax position than such Borrower would have been in if the Tax or other liability giving rise to the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been incurred. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Borrower to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

7.7.8 VAT.

(a) All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any Loan Party to any Recipient that (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT that is chargeable on such supply, and accordingly, subject to Section 7.7.8(b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any Loan Party under a Loan Document and such Recipient is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, such Loan Party must pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Recipient shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Loan Party).

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

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

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

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

78

(d) Any reference in this Section 7.7.8 to any Loan Party shall, at any time when such Loan Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the United Kingdom’s Value Added Tax Act 1994 or applicable legislation in other jurisdictions having a similar effect).

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

7.7.9 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

7.7.10 Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 7.7, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

7.8 Aga Liability. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, under no circumstance shall a Loan Party that is a member of the Aga Group (i) be liable for the Loans or other Obligations of any Loan Party that is not also member of the Aga Group or (ii) be responsible for the failure of any Loan Party that is not also a member of the Aga Group to pay any principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 8 INCREASED COSTS; SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR EUROCURRENCY LOANS.

8.1 Increased Costs.

8.1.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 8.1.5) or any Issuing Lender;

(b) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London or Canadian interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or

79

Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any applicable Letter of Credit or participation of such Lender therein;

(d) and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Lender, the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Subsidiary Borrower to pay) to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

8.1.3 Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 (which certificate shall set forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail) and delivered to the Company shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Subsidiary Borrower to pay) such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

8.1.4 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and

80

of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

8.1.5 Additional Reserve Requirements. The Company shall pay (or cause the applicable Subsidiary Borrower to pay) to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Company shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant date on which interest is payable, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

8.2 Inability to Determine Rates.

(a) If in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Loan or a Daily Floating LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation of a Eurocurrency Loan, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (A) deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period, if applicable, of such Eurocurrency Loan or Daily Floating LIBOR Loan, (B) (1) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Loan (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency, as applicable) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, Daily Floating LIBOR Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan and (2) the circumstances described in Section 8.2(c)(i) do not apply or (C) a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to such Alternative Currency (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls) (in each case with respect to this clause (i), “Impacted Loans”), or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans in the affected currency or currencies shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans, Daily Floating LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, the utilization of the

81

Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable, shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 8.2(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company or the applicable Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or Daily Floating LIBOR Loans, as applicable in the affected currency or currencies (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Daily Floating LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, (A) with respect to a pending request for Loans denominated in Dollars, the Company will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein, (B) with respect to a pending request for Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, the applicable Domestic Borrower or Canadian Borrower will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein, and (C) with respect to Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars as contemplated in the foregoing clause (B)), at the election of the Company, (1) such request shall be converted into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (subject to the foregoing clause (y)) in the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the amount specified therein (and, in the case of any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans, regardless of whether such request is made, such Loans will automatically be deemed to be converted to Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period) or (2) the applicable Borrower shall repay such Eurocurrency Loans (to the extent outstanding) in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided, however that if no such election is made by the Company within three days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i) of this Section 8.2, the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (i) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a)(i) of this Section 8.2, (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Company that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (iii) any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Company written notice thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, but without limiting Sections 8.2(a) and (b) above, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), or the Company or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Company) that the Company or Required Lenders

82

(as applicable) have determined (which determination likewise shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans in the applicable currency, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(iii) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 8.2, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR,; or

(iv) the occurrence of a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate announcing that LIBOR is no longer representative,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Company may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing LIBOR in accordance with this Section 8.2 with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar (or, with respect to the benchmark of another applicable currency, such applicable currency) denominated syndicated credit facilities syndicated in the U.S. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar (or, with respect to the benchmark of another applicable currency, such applicable currency) denominated syndicated credit facilities syndicated in the U.S. which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”) and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Company unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate

83

contained in any such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower.

(d) If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (c)(i) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods), and (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, (A) with respect to a pending request for Loans denominated in Dollars, the Company will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) in the amount specified therein and (B) with respect to Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency, at the election of the Company, (1) such request shall be converted into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) in the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the amount specified therein (and, in the case of any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans, regardless of whether such request is made, such Loans will automatically be deemed to be converted to Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period) or (2) the applicable Borrower shall repay such Eurocurrency Loans (to the extent outstanding) in full at the end of the applicable Interest Period; provided, however that if no such election is made by the Company within three days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.

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

(f) In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes to the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(g) For purposes hereof:

(i) “LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other technical, administrative or operational matters as may be appropriate, in the

84

discretion of the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company, to reflect the adoption and implementation of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines, in consultation with the Company, is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement);

(ii) “Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the purpose of recommending a benchmark rate to replace LIBOR in loan agreements similar to this Agreement;

(iii) “SOFR” with respect to any day means the secured overnight financing rate published for such day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website and that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body;

(iv) “SOFR-Based Rate” means SOFR or Term SOFR; and

(v) “Term SOFR” means the forward-looking term rate for any period that is approximately (as determined by the Administrative Agent”) as long as any of the Interest Period options set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” and that is based on SOFR and that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body, in each case as published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion.

8.3 Changes in Law Rendering Eurocurrency Loans Unlawful. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Loans, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) such Lender shall have no obligation to make or convert into Eurocurrency Loans (but shall make a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable) concurrently with the making of or conversion into Eurocurrency Loans by the Lenders that are not so affected, in each case in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share, calculated using the Spot Rate on the date of borrowing or conversion, of the applicable Borrowing and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the applicable Change in Law), such Eurocurrency Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan, (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in

85

Canadian Dollars of Domestic Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers, automatically convert to a Canadian Prime Rate Loan and (iii) in the case of a Loan denominated in a currency other than Dollars (or with respect to Domestic Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Dollars), such Loan shall be redenominated in Dollars at the Spot Rate and (c) any Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans that was outstanding at the time the Company received notice of the applicable Change in Law from the applicable Lender as provided above. Subject to the following sentence, each Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan made by a Lender that, but for the circumstances described in the foregoing sentence, would be a Eurocurrency Loan (an “Affected Loan”) shall remain outstanding as a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan, as applicable, for the same period as the Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans of which such Affected Loan would be a part absent such circumstances; provided that upon request of the Company, the applicable Borrower or the affected Lender at least five days before any continuation of such a Borrowing that is in a currency other than Dollars, the amount of such Affected Loan shall be adjusted, if necessary, to be equal to such Lender’s pro rata share, calculated using the Spot Rate on the date of such continuation, of such Borrowing, and the applicable Borrower (if the amount of such Affected Loan decreases) or such Lender (if the amount of such Loan increases) shall remit the appropriate amount to the other party (through the Administrative Agent). Any Lender that has given a notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company if the circumstances giving rise to such notice cease to exist, at which time such Lender’s obligation to make Eurocurrency Loans shall be reinstated. If a relevant Change in Law affects one or more, but not all currencies available hereunder, then this Section 8.3 shall only apply with respect to the affected currencies.

8.4 Funding Losses. Upon demand by any Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a written statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which will be furnished to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly compensate (or cause the applicable Borrower to compensate) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any net loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

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

(b) any failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Daily Floating LIBOR Loan, Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Borrower;

(c) any failure by any Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency in a different currency unless so requested at the option of the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.3.3(A); or

(d) any assignment of a Eurocurrency Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period, as applicable, therefor as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to

86

Section 8.7.2; including any net loss or expense arising from (x) the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan and (y) fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Company shall also pay (or cause the applicable Subsidiary Borrower to pay) any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 8.4, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate, for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in fact so funded.

8.5 Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Eurocurrency Loan or Daily Floating LIBOR Loan by causing a domestic or foreign branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that in such event, for purposes of this Agreement, such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or affiliate.

8.6 Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurocurrency Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period.

8.7 Mitigation of Circumstances; Replacement of Lenders.

8.7.1 Mitigation of Circumstances. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by a Borrower to pay to any Lender or Governmental Authority any amount pursuant to Section 7.7 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstance of the nature described in Section 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the applicable Borrower of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence and such designation will not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 7.7 or 8.1, no Lender shall be entitled to request payment of any amount pursuant to either such Section unless such amount is proportionate to the amounts that such Lender is generally requesting from similarly situated borrowers or account parties for similar additional costs or losses suffered in connection with substantially similar credit facilities.

87

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Loans and other Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet due and payable and as to which no claim has been made) have been paid in full, to the applicable Loan Party or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Subject to Sections 2.3.3 and 2.9, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other obligations hereunder or to the Loan Parties, if any, in the order set forth above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cash Management Obligations and Obligations under Qualified Hedging Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Lender Party. Each Lender Party not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 14 for itself and its Affiliates and branches as if a “Lender” party hereto.

Section 13 PARENT/COMPANY GUARANTY

13.1 The Guaranty. Each of the Parent and the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees as a primary obligor the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations of each other Loan Party, including all principal of the Loans, all reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, all interest on the foregoing and all fees payable hereunder (including all interest and fees accruing after the commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to a Borrower, regardless of whether such interest or fees constitute an allowed claim in such proceeding) and all other amounts payable hereunder or any other Loan Document. The guaranty set forth in this Section 13 is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.

13.2 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent and the Company under this Section 13 shall be irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Qualified Hedging Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise (other than payment in full of the Obligations);

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Qualified Hedging Agreement;

(c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of any Borrower under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Qualified Hedging Agreement;

(d) any change in the existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or any of its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of such Borrower contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Qualified Hedging Agreement (other than payment in full of the Obligations);

(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which the Parent or the Company may have at any time against any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Qualified Hedging Agreement or any unrelated transaction;

(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Loan Party for any reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Qualified Hedging Agreement, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Borrower of the principal of or interest on any Loan, any amounts payable with respect to any Letter of Credit, any other amount payable by it under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Qualified Hedging Agreement; or

(g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance

120

whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Parent’s obligations hereunder.

13.3 Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. The Parent’s and the Company’s respective obligations under this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments and all Letters of Credit shall have terminated and all Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash (other than in respect of contingent indemnification obligations with respect to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have not asserted a claim against any Loan Party). If at any time any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, any amount payable with respect to any Letter of Credit, any other amount payable by a Loan Party under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Qualified Hedging Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, the obligations hereunder of the Parent and the Company, as applicable, with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

13.4 Waiver by the Parent and the Company. Each of the Parent and the Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any other Loan Party or any other Person.

13.5 Delay of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by or on behalf of the Parent or the Company under this Section 13, neither the Parent nor the Company shall exercise any right of subrogation to any right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender until such time as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received payment in cash of the full amount of all Obligations, the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and the termination of the Commitments.

13.6 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrower under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Qualified Hedging Agreement is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by the Parent (and, unless such Borrower is the Company, the Company) under this Section 13 forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the written request of the Required Lenders.

13.7 Keepwell. Each of the Company and the Parent, to the extent that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 13 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been repaid in full in cash or Cash Collateralized and all Commitments terminated. Each Loan Party intends this Section to constitute, and this

121

Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each other Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 14 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

14.1 Appointment and Authorization.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 14.9) appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Each Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith. Each Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 14 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent”, as used in this Section 14, included such Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Lenders.

122

14.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or their participants for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Company or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law.

14.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Company or any Subsidiary), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent against all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders and participants. Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders (or, if required hereunder, all Lenders) otherwise determine, the Administrative Agent shall, and in all other instances, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate a solicitation for the consent or a vote of the Lenders.

14.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default (except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders) unless the Administrative Agent shall have

123

received written notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 12; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

14.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Company hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Company or its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

14.7 Indemnification. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 15.6 or 15.14 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, 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 based on each Lender’s Percentage) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), provided, further that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 14.7 are subject to the provisions of Section 2.5.

124

14.8 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates and branches may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Swing Line Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates or branches may receive information regarding the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans, Bank of America and its Affiliates and branches shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent and an Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender, and the term “Lender” include Bank of America and its Affiliates and branches, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

14.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders. If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Company, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 14 and Sections 15.6 and 15.14 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor administrative agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank of America may not be removed as the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders unless Bank of America shall also simultaneously be replaced as an “Issuing Lender” and the “Swing Line Lender” hereunder pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank of America.

14.10 Collateral Matters. Each Lender Party (including in its capacity as a holder of obligations under any Qualified Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Obligation) irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall), (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and all other obligations

125

of the Borrowers hereunder (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable and as to which no claim has been made), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender shall have been made) and the termination of all Qualified Hedging Agreements (other than Qualified Hedging Agreements as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Lender Party shall have been made); (ii) which is sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or (iii) subject to Section 15.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; (b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document to the holder of any Lien on such property which is permitted by Section 10.8(c), (d), (k) (with respect to Capital Leases), (l), (m), (q) or (r); or (c) to release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the applicable Subsidiary Guaranty if such entity ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the applicable Subsidiary Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 14.10. The Administrative Agent will, for the benefit of the Loan Parties and at the Loan Parties’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Lien granted on any item of collateral under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under any Subsidiary Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 14.10. Any release of Collateral or Subsidiary Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of holders of obligations under any Qualified Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Obligations. No Lender Party to whom Cash Management Obligations or Hedging Obligations are owed that obtain the benefits of Section 12.3 or any Loan Document by virtue of the provisions hereof or thereof shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the collateral (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document) other than in such Lender Party’s capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

14.11 Other Agents. No Lender identified on the facing page of this Agreement or otherwise herein, or in any amendment hereof or other document related hereto, as being a Lead Arranger, a Co-Syndication Agent or a Co-Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement in such capacity.

Section 15 GENERAL

15.1 Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by Lenders having an aggregate Percentage of not less than the aggregate Percentage expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement, by the Required Lenders and, in the case of an amendment or other modification, the Company, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

No amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) alter the pro rata sharing of payments required by Section 7.6 or the pro rata reduction in Commitments required by Section 6.2.1 or (ii) amend the definition of “Eligible Jurisdictions” (provided for the avoidance of doubt that Company’s exercise of its right to add Subsidiary Borrowers in jurisdictions other than Eligible Jurisdictions pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall not be deemed to be an amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the definition of “Eligible Jurisdictions”) without, in each case, the consent of each Lender. No provision of Section 14 or other provision of this Agreement affecting the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

Commitments and (ii) $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Company and the Administrative Agent may agree in their discretion); provided that (v) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Person if, at the time of such assignment and delegation, the Borrowers would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.7 or Section 8 to the Assignee than the Borrowers are then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Sections (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Borrowers will not be required to pay the incremental amounts), (w) any assignment to a Person other than a Lender shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Issuing Lenders and the Swing Line Lender (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (x) no consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment from a Lender to a Lender, an Affiliate or branch of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (y) no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment to another Lender and (z) the Company and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until the date when all of the following conditions shall have been met:

(i) the Assignee shall have complied with the requirements set forth in Section 7.7.5, if applicable,

(ii) five Business Days (or such lesser period of time as the Administrative Agent and the assigning Lender shall agree) shall have passed after written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, shall have been given to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such assigning Lender and the Assignee,

(iii) the assigning Lender and the Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Company and the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E or any other form (including electronic documentation generated by use of an electronic platform) approved by the Administrative Agent (an “Assignment Agreement”), together with any documents required to be delivered thereunder, which Assignment Agreement shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Company, and

(iv) unless the Assignee is an Affiliate or branch of the assigning Lender, the assigning Lender or the Assignee shall have paid the Administrative Agent a processing fee of $3,500.

From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (A) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto as a Lender with respect to the interest assigned and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder (in addition, if applicable, to rights and obligations previously held by such Lender), and (B) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment of all of its Commitments and Loans, shall cease to be a Lender (but shall continue to have all rights and obligations under provisions hereof which by their terms survive the termination hereof)); provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such

133

Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 15.9.1 shall be null and void.

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office specified for payments pursuant to Section 7.1 a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and reimbursement obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). No assignment shall be effective unless it is recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.9.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, (a) no assignment shall be made to (i) the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof, (ii) any Defaulting Lender or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Person which, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) or (iii) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons), and (b) any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank by way of a pledge or assignment of a security interest to secure its obligations to such bank; provided that no such assignment shall (i) release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or (ii) substitute any such Federal Reserve Bank for such Lender as a party hereto; and provided, further, that no such Federal Reserve Bank shall be entitled to exercise any right (or shall have any obligation) of a Lender under the Loan Documents unless it becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 15.9.1.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

134

15.9.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of one or more natural Persons, a Defaulting Lender or a Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender (other than Loans to UK Borrowers), the Commitment of such Lender, the direct or participation interest of such Lender in any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (any Person purchasing any such participating interest being herein called a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (x) such Lender shall remain responsible for all of its obligations as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, (y) the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (z) all amounts payable by the Borrowers shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any of the events described in the fourth sentence of Section 15.1. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.5. The Borrowers also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.7 and Section 8 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 7.6 or Section 8 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold unless the relevant Loan Party has failed to comply with its obligations under Section 7.7.5 or 7.7.6). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

15.10 Replacement of Lenders. If the Company is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.7, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance

135

with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 15.9), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 7.7 and 8.1) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Company shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 15.9.1;

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and its Percentage of all Unreimbursed Amounts, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 8.4) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 7.7, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws; and

(e) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender agrees that if a Borrower exercises its option pursuant to this Section 15.10 to cause an assignment by such Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 15.9; provided that each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment Agreement executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment does not execute the assignment required to be signed by the applicable Lender within ten (10) Business Days of notice thereof, then such Lender need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof. Any removal of Bank of America or its successor as a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 15.10 shall also constitute the removal of Bank of America or its successor as the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.9.

15.11 Governing Law; Severability. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW (EXCEPT 735 ILLINOIS COMPILED STATUTE §105/5-5). Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition

136

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

15.13 PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the such Loan Party, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

15.14 Indemnification by the Company.

(a) Subject to Section 10.12(c) each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Related Parties (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a law firm as counsel for all Indemnitees in connection with any event or circumstance giving rise to claims hereunder except that if, in the reasonable opinion of an Indemnitee, representation of all Indemnitees by one firm as counsel would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, each Borrower shall reimburse the reasonable fees and charges of no more than the number of additional law firms as counsel for the various Indemnitees as is necessary to avoid any such actual or potential conflict of interest), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including any Borrower or any other Loan Party) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 7.7), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Lender 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 actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as

137

to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) arise out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by any Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought against the Administrative Agent solely in its capacity as, or in fulfillment of its role as, an agent under this Agreement). Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.7.3, this Section 15.14(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising from a non-Tax claim.

THE PARENT AND EACH OTHER BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS; PROVIDED THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH OF THE PARENT AND THE COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY LITIGATION ABOVE; (B) CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID TO ITS ADDRESS AS DETERMINED PURSUANT TO SECTION 15.3, BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF ILLINOIS; AND (C) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA the applicable Resolution Authority.

15.19 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, branches and to its Related Parties (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), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (provided that, so long as not prohibited from doing so by any applicable law, regulation or order, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company promptly upon receipt of any subpoena or similar legal process), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any 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 (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 6.2.2 or 6.3 or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to a Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the prior written consent of the Company, (i) to market data collectors with such Information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications but limited to (1) the name and industry of the Loan Parties, (2) the Effective Time, (3) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans as of the Effective Time, (4) the Term Loan Maturity Date or Termination

140

Date of the Loans, as applicable and (5) the respective agent roles of the Lenders, as applicable, or (j) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or branches on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or any Subsidiary. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Parent or any Subsidiary relating to the Parent or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Parent or any Subsidiary. 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.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Parent or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws.

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

15.21 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

141

(together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regime”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

15.22 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-terrorism Laws and “know your client” policies, regulations, Laws or rules (the Proceeds of Crime Act and such other anti-terrorism laws, applicable policies, regulations, Laws or rules, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), then the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(b) shall provide to the Lenders, copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Parties or any such authorized signatory in doing so.
