participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, (A) in the case of a Mandatory Borrowing constituting Revolving Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Revolving Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter, and (B) in the case of a Mandatory Borrowing constituting Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, at the cost to the Administrative Agent of acquiring the overnight funds in Canadian Dollars for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, in each case maintained as Canadian Prime Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(c), if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that a Swingline Loan is outstanding, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay all outstanding Swingline Loans and in any event no later than two Business Days after the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01(a) or (b), Section 7.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Co-Collateral Agents shall have the right to establish Reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Co-Collateral Agents in their Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against any Borrowing Base (with any establishment of or increase in Reserves to reduce such then existing Borrowing Base, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Reserves and any elimination of or reduction in any Reserves to increase such then existing Borrowing Base, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Reserves).

(e) In the event that the Borrowers are unable to comply with the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans set forth in Section 7 (including, without limitation, the Borrowing Base limitations set forth in Section 7.03), the Lenders, subject to the immediately succeeding proviso, hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to make U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans to any U.S. Borrower (on a joint and several basis with the other U.S. Borrowers), Australian Borrower Revolving Loans to any Australian Borrower (on a joint and several basis with the other Australian Borrowers), Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans to any Canadian Borrower (on a joint and several basis with the other Canadian Borrowers), Dutch Borrower Revolving Loans to any Dutch Borrower (on a joint and several basis with the other Dutch Borrowers) or U.K. Borrower Revolving Loans to any U.K. Borrower (on a joint and several basis with the other U.K. Borrowers) solely in the event that the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Expenses and Fees; provided that such Revolving Loans may only be made as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, respectively, as determined by the Administrative Agent (each, an “Agent Advance”), for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a Notice of Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance until the earliest of (x) the twentieth Business Day after such date, (y) the date the respective Borrowers are again able to comply with the applicable Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans, or obtains an amendment or

Agent Advances will be subject to periodic settlement with the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(b).

2.02. Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans of a specific Type shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable to such Type of Loans.

(a) Whenever a Borrower desires to incur (i) Euro Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans hereunder, such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior notice of each Euro Rate Loan or Bankers’ Acceptance Loan to be incurred hereunder (or in the case of Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, at least four Business Day’s prior notice) and (ii) Base Rate Loans (including Agent Advances, but excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans (including Agent Advances, but excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing or to the extent resulting from automatic conversions of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans as provided in Schedule 1.01(b)) hereunder, such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent

at the Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior notice of each Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan to be incurred hereunder; provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before (x) 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such day, in the case of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans and Canadian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, and (y) 11:00 A.M.

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the Available Currency).

(c) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.01(c), with each Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.01(a).

(d) Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, such Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

2.04. Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or (y) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(a)), each Lender, subject to Section 15, will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts will be made available in U.S. Dollars (in the case of U.S. Dollar Denominated Loans), in Canadian Dollars (in the case of Canadian Dollar Denominated Loans), in Australian Dollars (in the case of Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans), in Pounds Sterling (in the case of Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans) or Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Revolving Loans), as the case may be, and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, and the relevant Borrower or Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower or Borrowers until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of Canadian Dollar Denominated Loans, Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans or Euro Denominated Revolving Loans, the cost to the Administrative Agent of acquiring overnight funds in Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, as the case may be) for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04(a) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding this Section 2.04(a) and subject to the provisions of Section 15, (x) the Fronting Lender shall be obligated to make each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s pro rata portion of a Specified Foreign Currency Loan and (y) each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall not be obligated to make its pro rata portion of a Specified Foreign Currency Loan.

(b) Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 2.01(c) shall be subject to periodic settlement as follows:

(i) The amount of each Lender’s RL Percentage of Revolving Loans shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans as of 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of each week, or such other period specified by the Administrative Agent (each such date, a “Settlement Date”). The Lenders shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to the Lenders, such amounts as are necessary so that (after giving effect to all such transfers) the amount of Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s RL Percentage of the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If a notice from the Administrative Agent of any such necessary transfer is received by a Lender on or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, then such Lender shall make transfers described above in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day such notice was received; and if such notice is received by a Lender after 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make such transfers no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to, or without representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees and the Lenders agree to mark their respective books and records on each Settlement Date to show at all times the dollar amount of their respective RL Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Loans on such date. The provisions of this Section 2.04(b) with respect to Specified Foreign Currency Loans of a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall be subject to the terms of Section 15.

(ii) To the extent that the settlement described in preceding clause (i) shall not yet have occurred with respect to any particular Settlement Date, upon any repayment of Revolving Loans by any Borrower prior to such settlement, the Administrative Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to the amounts that would otherwise be made available by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(b).

(iii) Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Revolving Loans prior to the time when the Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid Revolving Loans, interest with respect to Revolving Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent to each Lender and the Administrative Agent in accordance with the amount of Revolving Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Revolving Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Revolving Loans are either repaid by the U.S. Borrowers, the Australian Borrowers, the Canadian Borrowers, the Dutch Borrowers or the U.K. Borrowers, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or actually settled by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.04(b).

2.05. Notes. (a) Each U.S. Borrower’s joint and several obligation, each Australian Borrower’s joint and several obligation, each Canadian Borrower’s joint and several obligation, each Dutch Borrower’s joint and several obligation and each U.K. Borrower’s joint and several obligation, as the case may be, to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “U.S. Borrower Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “U.S. Borrower Revolving Notes”), (ii) in the case of Australian Borrower Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Australian Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Australian Borrower Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Australian Borrower Revolving Notes”), (iii) in the case of Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Canadian Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Canadian Borrower Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Canadian Borrower Revolving Notes”), (iv) in the case of Dutch Borrower Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Dutch Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Dutch Borrower Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Dutch Borrower Revolving Notes”), (v) in the case of U.K. Borrower Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each U.K. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “U.K. Borrower Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “U.K. Borrower Revolving Notes” and together with the U.S. Borrower Revolving Notes, the Australian Borrower Revolving Notes, the Canadian Borrower Revolving Notes and the Dutch Borrower Revolving Notes, the “Revolving Notes”), (vi) in the case of U.S. Borrower Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “U.S. Borrower Swingline Note”), (vii) in the case of Australian Borrower Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Australian Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Australian Borrower Swingline Note”), (viii) in the case of Canadian Borrower Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Canadian Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Canadian Borrower Swingline Note”), (ix) in the case of Dutch Borrower Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Dutch Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Dutch Borrower Swingline Note”) and (x) in the case of U.K. Borrower Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each U.K. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “U.K. Borrower Swingline Note” and together with the U.S. Borrower Swingline Note, the Australian Borrower Swingline Note, the Canadian Borrower Swingline Note and the Dutch Borrower Swingline Note, the “Swingline Notes”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will

endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request, obtain, maintain or produce a Note evidencing its Loans to any Borrower shall affect, or in any manner impair, the obligations of any Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by such Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to any Credit Document. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, each respective Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender, at such Borrower’s expense, the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06. Conversions. (a) Each Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of U.S. Dollar Denominated Loans made to it pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loan; provided that, (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Eurodollar Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Euro Rate Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the relevant Borrower (of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loan being converted) by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least (i) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (ii) in the case of conversions of Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such U.S. Dollar Denominated Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans.

(b) Conversions of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans into Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be made in the circumstances, and to the extent, provided in Schedule 1.01(b). Except as provided in Schedule 1.01(b), Bankers’ Acceptance Loans shall not be permitted to be

converted into Canadian Prime Rate Loans prior to the maturity date of the respective Bankers’ Acceptance or B/A Equivalent Note, as the case may be.

(c) Each Borrower shall have the option to convert on any Business Day occurring on or after the Effective Date, all or a portion at least equal to the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Canadian Prime Rate Loans made to such Borrower pursuant to one or more Borrowings of Canadian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans into a Borrowing or Borrowings of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans; provided that (i) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Canadian Prime Rate Loans may not be converted into Bankers’ Acceptance Loans if a Default or an Event of Default is in existence on the date of such conversion and (ii) Borrowings of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans resulting from this Section 2.06 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the relevant Borrower (of Canadian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loan being converted), by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time), at least three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed conversion, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation specifying the Canadian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans maintained as Canadian Prime Rate Loans to be so converted into Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Canadian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans were made and the term of the proposed Borrowing of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans (which, in each case, shall comply with the requirements of Schedule 1.01(b)). The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Canadian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans maintained as Canadian Prime Rate Loans.

2.07. Pro Rata Borrowings. Except as provided in Section 15, all Borrowings of Revolving Loans (including U.S. Borrower Revolving Loans, Australian Borrower Revolving Loans, Canadian Borrower Revolving Loans, Dutch Borrower Revolving Loans and U.K. Borrower Revolving Loans) under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments, provided that all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08. Interest. (a) (v) The U.S. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each U.S. Borrower Loan, (w) the Australian Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Australian Borrower Loan, (x) the Canadian Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Borrower Loan, (y) the Dutch Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Dutch Borrower Loan and (z) the U.K. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each U.K. Borrower Loan, in each case:

applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(B) maintained as a Eurodollar Loan, in each case, from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(C) maintained as a Canadian Prime Rate Loan (including with respect to any Bankers’ Acceptance Loan converted into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan pursuant to Schedule 1.01(b)), in each case, from the date of Borrowing thereof (or, in the circumstances described in the immediately preceding parenthetical, from the date of conversion of such respective Bankers’ Acceptance Loan into a Canadian Prime Rate Loan) until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Canadian Prime Rate Loan to a Bankers’ Acceptance Loan pursuant to Schedule 1.01(b), at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Canadian Prime Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(F) maintained as a Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loan, in each case, from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the Australian Dollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(a) or 11.01(e) or, upon notice of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, any other Event of Default, all outstanding Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans plus any Mandatory Costs in the case of any Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans. Without duplication of any amounts payable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum (1) in the case of overdue principal of, and overdue interest

Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(b) shall be payable on demand.

(c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Canadian Prime Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (iii) in respect of each Euro Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iv) in respect of each Loan (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans), (x) on the date of any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount prepaid or repaid) (except that repayments and prepayments of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall not be required to be accompanied by a payment of accrued, and theretofore unpaid, interest thereon, unless either all outstanding Loans of such Type are being repaid or prepaid or the Total Commitment has terminated or will be terminated concurrently with such repayment or prepayment), (y) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (z) after such maturity, on demand.

(d) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Euro Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Euro Rate Loans and shall promptly notify the respective Borrowers and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09. Interest Periods. At the time any Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Euro

Rate Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Euro Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), such Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Euro Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower, be (i) a one or two week period to the extent agreed to by all Lenders, (ii) a one, two, three or six month period or (iii) a nine or twelve month period to the extent agreed to by all Lenders, provided that (in each case):

(a) all Euro Rate Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(b) the initial Interest Period for any Euro Rate Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Euro Rate Loan (including, in the case of U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Euro Rate Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(c) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(d) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(e) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree or as otherwise provided below in the case of Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans or Euro Denominated Revolving Loans, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; and

(f) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Loans.

With respect to any Loans maintained as Euro Rate Loans, at the end of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing thereof, the relevant Borrower may elect to split the respective Borrowing into two or more Borrowings of the same Type or combine two or more Borrowings of the same Type into a single Borrowing, in each case, by having the relevant Borrower give notice thereof together with its election of one or more Interest Periods, in each case so long as each resulting Borrowing (x) has an Interest Period which complies with the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.09 and (y) does not cause a violation of the requirements of Section 2.02. If by 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day

prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans, any Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Euro Rate Loans as provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (x) if Eurodollar Loans, to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans and (y) if Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans or Euro Denominated Revolving Loans, to select a one month Interest Period for such Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans or Euro Denominated Revolving Loans, as the case may be, in any such case effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10. Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clauses (i)(x) and (iv) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) (x) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of the respective Euro Rate and/or (y) the applicable Euro Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Euro Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Euro Rate Loan; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Euro Rate Loan because of (x) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (1) a change in the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the basis of taxation or rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (2) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Euro Rate Loan has been made (A) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (B) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (C) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the applicable eurodollar market; or

100

(iv) at any time that there is no market for Bankers’ Acceptances by reason of circumstances affecting the Canadian money market generally or the relevant Available Currency (other than U.S. Dollars) is not available in sufficient amounts, in either case as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or (I) the Administrative Agent, in the case of clauses (i)(x) and (iv) above or (II) the Required Lenders, in the case of clause (i)(y) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the affected Borrowers and, except in the case of clauses (i)(x) and (iv) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, (A) in the event that Eurodollar Loans are so affected, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Required Lenders in the case of clause (i)(y) above) notifies Holdings and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by any Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower, (B) in the event that Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans are so affected, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Sterling Rate, (C) in the event that Euro Denominated Revolving Loans are so affected, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Euro LIBOR and (D) in the event that Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans are so affected, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Australian Dollar Rate, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally), the Australian Borrowers (jointly and severally), the Canadian Borrowers (jointly and severally), the Dutch Borrowers (jointly and severally) and/or the U.K. Borrowers (jointly and severally) agree to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the respective Borrowers by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto); provided, however, that for purposes of clause (ii) above, any such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amounts which relate to Taxes (as to which Section 5.04 shall govern), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, and as provided in Schedule 1.01(b), Bankers’ Acceptance Loans or other Revolving Loans in the relevant Available Currency (exclusive of any such Revolving Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the affected Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to Bankers’ Acceptance Loans or such other Revolving Loans given by the respective Borrowers which have not been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrowers.

101

(b) At any time that any Euro Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the affected Borrower may, and in the case of a Euro Rate Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the affected Borrower shall, either (i) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), or (ii) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by applicable law) and (B) in the case of any Euro Rate Loan (other than a Eurodollar Loan), repay all outstanding Borrowings which include such affected Euro Rate Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.01; provided that (i) if the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) apply to any Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loan or Euro Denominated Revolving Loan, the respective Borrower may, in lieu of taking the actions described above, maintain such outstanding Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loan or Euro Denominated Revolving Loan, as the case may be, in which case, (x) in the case of Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Sterling Rate, (y) in the case of Euro Denominated Revolving Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Euro LIBOR and (z) in the case of Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso to the definition of Australian Dollar Rate, as the case may be, unless the maintenance of such outstanding Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loan or Euro Denominated Revolving Loan, as the case may be, on such basis would not stop the conditions described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) from existing (in which case the actions described above, without giving effect to this proviso, shall be required to be taken) and (ii) if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then Holdings agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and

102

conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to Holdings, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish Holdings’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.10(c) shall require Holdings to pay to any Lender any amount for which such Lender is compensated by way of payment of Mandatory Costs.

(d) In the event that any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such Lender is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established by any Federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding office thereof) in respect of any Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans or Euro Denominated Revolving Loans or any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Sterling Denominated Revolving Loan or Euro Denominated Revolving Loan is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to non-United States residents, then, unless such reserves are included in the calculation of the interest rate applicable to such Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans or Euro Denominated Revolving Loans or in Section 2.10(a)(ii), such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers in writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the cost of maintaining such reserves in respect of such Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans and/or Euro Denominated Revolving Loans (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional amounts) and the respective Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay to such Lender such specified amounts as additional interest at the time that such Borrowers are otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Australian Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans, Sterling Denominated Revolving Loans and Euro Denominated Revolving Loans or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

2.11. Compensation. The applicable ABL Credit Parties (grouped by Borrowing Base), jointly and severally agree to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Euro Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Euro Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the respective Borrower or Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (b) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to

103

Section 11.01) or conversion of any of its Euro Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period or maturity date, as applicable, with respect thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any of its Euro Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrowers; or (d) as a consequence of (i) any other default by the respective Borrowers to repay Euro Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (ii) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12. Lending Offices and Affiliate Lenders for Loans in Available Currency. (a) Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule 13.03, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Loans in the Available Currency made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender (including, without limitation, by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such with respect to such Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings); provided that, for designations made after the Effective Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although if such designation results in increased costs, the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the costs which would have applied in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, be treated in the same manner as the respective designating Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).

(b) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by Holdings, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12(b) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to any Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (c) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), Holdings shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), if no Default or Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”)

104

with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, Fronting Lending (unless such Person will not be a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender) and any Issuing Lender; provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Borrowers) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the entire Commitment and all outstanding Revolving Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptance Loans) and all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (i) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans (other than Bankers’ Acceptances and B/A Equivalent Notes) of the respective Replaced Lender with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced, (B) an amount equal to the Face Amount of any outstanding B/A Instrument of the respective Replaced Lender in satisfaction of the obligations of the Borrower to repay the B/A Instrument on the maturity thereof, (C) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings (if any) that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (D) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, (ii) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (iii) the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11 shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

(b) Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the relevant Borrowers, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender

105

hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (y) the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

2.14. Incremental Commitments. (a) Holdings shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.14, but without requiring the consent of the Administrative Agent (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.14) or the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date (or, if later, after the satisfaction of any condition previously agreed to among the Agents and Holdings) and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Commitments and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the relevant Incremental Commitment Agreement, make Revolving Loans and participate in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans pursuant thereto; provided that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the other Borrowers an Incremental Commitment Agreement as provided in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans in excess of its Commitment (if any) or participate in any Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans in excess of its RL Percentage, in each case, as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental Commitment provided pursuant to this Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Commitment without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender; provided that any Person that is not a Lender prior to the effectiveness of its Incremental Commitment shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Lender (unless such Person will not be a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender) (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld) to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14, (iii) the aggregate amount of each request (and provision therefor) for Incremental Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount for all Lenders which provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to a given Incremental Commitment Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including Persons who are Eligible Transferees and will become Lenders) of at least $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent), (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed in the aggregate $50,000,000, (v) Holdings shall not increase the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14 more than 3 times, (vi) if the Applicable Margins with respect to Loans to be incurred pursuant to an Incremental Commitment shall be higher in any respect than those applicable to any other Loans, the Applicable Margins, as the case may be, for the other Loans and extension of credit hereunder shall be automatically increased as and to the extent needed to eliminate any deficiencies in accordance with the definition of “Applicable Margin” contained herein (such increase, the “Additional Margin”), (vii) all Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to an Incremental Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the relevant Security Documents, and guaranteed under the relevant Guaranties, on a

106

pari passu basis will all other Loans secured by each relevant Security Document and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, and (viii) each Lender (including any Person which is an Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, participate in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.01(b) and 3.04, respectively, and make Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.01(a) and such Revolving Loans shall constitute Revolving Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, (I) Holdings, each other Borrower, each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”) shall execute and deliver to Holdings and the Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement, appropriately completed (with the effectiveness of the Incremental Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (i) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid, (ii) all Incremental Commitment Requirements have been satisfied, (iii) all conditions set forth in this Section 2.14 shall have been satisfied and (iv) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied) and (II) Holdings, each other Borrower, each Guarantor and the Collateral Agent and each Incremental Lender (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent such additional Security Documents and/or amendments to the Security Documents which are necessary to ensure that all Loans incurred pursuant to the Incremental Commitments and any Additional Margin are secured by each relevant Security Document (the “Incremental Security Documents”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment Agreement and, at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lenders.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Incremental Commitments provided by an Incremental Lender or Incremental Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Commitment Agreement shall constitute part of, and be added to, the Total Commitment and each Incremental Lender shall constitute a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and each other applicable Credit Document.

(d) At the time of any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14, each Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Incremental Lenders), in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.14) and with the Borrowers being obligated to pay to the respective Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.11 in connection with any such repayment and/or Borrowing.

107

2.15. Interest Act (Canada); Criminal Rate of Interest; Nominal Rate of Interest. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, solely to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that the calculation or determination of interest or any fee payable by the Canadian Borrowers in respect of the Canadian Borrower Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be governed by or subject to the laws of any province of Canada or the federal laws of Canada, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, as the same shall be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable by the Canadian Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement or such other Credit Document lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Canadian Borrowers and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the Canadian Borrowers. For the purposes of this Agreement and each other Credit Document to which any Canadian Borrowers are a party, the effective annual rate of interest payable by the Canadian Borrowers shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the loans on the basis of annual compounding for the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by and for the account of the Canadian Borrowers will be conclusive for the purpose of such determination in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

(b) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and with respect to Canadian Borrowers only:

(i) whenever any interest or fee payable by the Canadian Borrowers is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be; and

(ii) all calculations of interest payable by the Canadian Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Credit Document are to be made on the basis of the nominal interest rate described herein and therein and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis which gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest. The parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material difference between the stated nominal interest rates and the effective yearly rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine such effective yearly rates of interest.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.15 only apply to the Canadian Borrowers and shall not otherwise reduce or effect the obligations of the other Borrowers under this Agreement to pay the full amount of the Obligations of such Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including to

108

reimburse the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders for any amounts refunded by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the Canadian Borrowers pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.15).

2.16. Provisions Regarding Bankers’ Acceptances, Drafts, etc. The parties hereto agree that the provisions of Schedule 1.01(b) shall apply to all Bankers’ Acceptances, Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, Drafts and B/A Equivalent Notes created hereunder, and that the provisions of Schedule 1.01(b) shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement as if such provisions were set forth in their entirety herein.

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

Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued for the account of the respective Borrowers as specified on Schedule 3.01(a).

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of 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 or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from any Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) no Letter of Credit shall be issued (or required to be issued) if the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed $40,000,000 (the “Maximum Letter of Credit Amount”), (b) no Letter of Credit shall be issued (or required to be issued) at any time when the Aggregate Exposure exceeds (or would after giving effect to such issuance exceed) (A) the Total Commitment at such time minus (B) the Specified Reserves at such time, (c) the issuance of any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 7), (d) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in either U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros, (e) each standby Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (i) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit shall be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) and (ii) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and (f) each trade Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (i) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (ii) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

111

Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by such requesting Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from any Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower (and the U.S. Borrowers in a combined fashion, the Australian Borrowers in a combined fashion, the Canadian Borrowers in a combined fashion, the Dutch Borrowers in a combined fashion or the U.K. Borrowers in a combined fashion, as the case may be) in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices.

Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that one or more Lenders is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit or increase or extend any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the applicable Borrowers to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by the Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing (in U.S. Dollars or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars) such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”).

(c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the

112

U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof) or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender.

3.04. Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) 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 Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the U.S. Borrowers, the Australian Borrowers, the Canadian Borrowers, the Dutch Borrowers or the U.K. Borrowers, as the case may be, under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13, Section 2.14 or Section 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the U.S. Borrowers, the Australian Borrowers, the Canadian Borrowers, the Dutch Borrowers or the U.K. Borrowers, as applicable, shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such unreimbursed payment, as determined by the Issuing Lender on the date on which such unreimbursed payment was made by such Issuing Lender) in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof) such Participant’s RL Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such

113

amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, at the respective Issuing Lender’s customary rate for interbank advances) for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between Holdings or any Subsidiary of Holdings and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

114

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any 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;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

3.05. Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) (i) Each U.S. Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, (ii) each Australian Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of an Australian Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, (iii) each Canadian Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Canadian Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, (iv) each Dutch Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Dutch Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees and (v) each U.K. Borrower, in the case of the Letters of Credit issued for the account of a U.K. Borrower, hereby jointly and severally agrees, in each case, to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars (or, in the case of any unreimbursed payment made in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such payment or disbursement as determined by the respective Issuing Lender on the date of such payment or disbursement) in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such U.S. Borrower, such Australian Borrower, such Canadian Borrower, such Dutch Borrower or such U.K. Borrower, as applicable (each such amount (or the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof, as the case may be), so paid until reimbursed by such U.S. Borrower, such Australian Borrower, such Canadian Borrower, such Dutch Borrower or such U.K. Borrower, as applicable, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by any such U.S. Borrower, any such Australian Borrower, any such Canadian Borrower, any such Dutch Borrower or any such U.K. Borrower, as the case may be, of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.01(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by such U.S. Borrower, such Australian Borrower, such Canadian Borrower, such Dutch Borrower or such U.K. Borrower, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by any such U.S. Borrower, any such Australian Borrower, any such Canadian Borrower, any such Dutch Borrower or any such U.K. Borrower, as applicable, of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.01(e), interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by such U.S.

115

Borrower, such Australian Borrower, such Canadian Borrower, such Dutch Borrower or such U.K. Borrower, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for U.S. Dollar Denominated Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the U.S. Borrower, the Australian Borrowers, the Canadian Borrowers, the Dutch Borrowers or the U.K. Borrowers, as the case may be, prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such U.S. Borrower, such Australian Borrower, such Canadian Borrower, such Dutch Borrower or such U.K. Borrower, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the obligations of any such Borrower hereunder.

(b) The joint and several obligations of such U.S. Borrowers, such Australian Borrower, such Canadian Borrower, such Dutch Borrower or such U.K. Borrower, as the case may be, under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which Holdings, any Borrower or any other Subsidiary of Holdings may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit is outstanding, such U.S. Borrower, such Australian Borrower, such Canadian Borrower, such Dutch Borrower or such U.K. Borrower, as applicable, shall enter into Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements with the relevant Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders no later than two Business Days after the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender.

3.06. Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (b) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in the basis of taxation or rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such

116

Issuing Lender or such Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein or Taxes (as to which Section 5.04 shall govern)), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrowers by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the applicable ABL Credit Parties whose Revolving Loans are subject to such increased costs jointly and severally agree to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrowers by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

4.01. Fees. (a) Holdings agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fees”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage of the Unutilized Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to time.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrowers shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the respective Borrower (and any other Credit Party making the respective payment or which has guaranteed the obligations of the relevant Borrower) agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such other Credit Documents. If, pursuant to the preceding sentence, any additional amounts are payable in respect of Taxes, the respective Borrower (and any other Credit Party making the respective payment or which has guaranteed the obligations of the relevant Borrower) agrees to reimburse each affected Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for any taxes imposed on such Lender as a result of the payment of such additional amounts and which are measured by the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine in good faith are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender, in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The respective Borrower (or other Credit Party) will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Borrower (or other Credit

137

Party) or other evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 14.07, the U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally), the Australian Borrowers (jointly and severally), the Canadian Borrowers (jointly and severally), the Dutch Borrowers (jointly and severally) or the U.K. Borrowers (jointly and severally), as applicable, agree (and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors agree) to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to Holdings and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made by the U.S. Borrowers under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit O (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made by the U.S. Borrowers under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender will deliver to Holdings and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments by the U.S. Borrowers under this Agreement and any Note, or such Lender shall immediately notify Holdings and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.04(a)(ii), but subject to Section 13.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) each U.S. Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to Holdings U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) each U.S. Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 5.04(a) to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to Holdings the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to Holdings pursuant to this Section

138

5.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 5.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.04(b) and subject to Section 14.07, the U.S. Borrowers (jointly and severally), the Australian Borrowers (jointly and severally), the Canadian Borrowers (jointly and severally), the Dutch Borrowers (jointly and severally) or the U.K. Borrowers (jointly and severally), as applicable, agree (and the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors agree) to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar taxes.

(c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file any certificate or document or to furnish to the relevant Foreign Borrower any information, in each case, as reasonably requested by such Foreign Borrower that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any Taxes; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.04(c) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its calculations).

(d) If any Borrower or Credit Party pays any amount under this Section 5.04 to a Lender or any other Person and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it (or any of its Affiliates) has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of its Tax liabilities (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to such Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender (or its Affiliates) as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.04(d) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 5.04 without any exclusions or defenses; (iii) nothing in this Section 5.04(d) shall require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns); and (iv) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 5.04(d) at any time which a Default or Event of Default exists.

(e) VAT:

(i) All amounts set out, or expressed in a Credit Document to be payable by any Borrower or other Credit Party to a Lender or Agent which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Agent to any Borrower or other Credit Party under a Credit Document, that Borrower or other Credit Party shall pay to the Lender or Agent (in addition to and at the same time as

139

The unaudited consolidated balance sheet as at the last day of their fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the six month period ended on such date, copies of which were in each case furnished to the Lenders prior to the Effective Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated, and if available consolidating, financial condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as at the date of said financial statements and the consolidated results of their operations for the period covered thereby, subject to normal year-end adjustments. All such consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said financial statements and subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments (all of which are of a recurring nature and none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be material) and the absence of footnotes.

As of the Effective Date, no Borrower knows of any basis for the assertion against it or any of its Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.05(a) or referred to in the immediately preceding sentence which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to Holdings and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(c) The Projections delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the Effective Date have been prepared in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions, and there are no statements or conclusions in the Projections which are based upon or include information known to Holdings or the other Borrowers to be misleading in any material respect. On the Effective Date, Holdings and the other Borrowers believe that the Projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the

151

period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results included in such Projections.

(d) After giving effect to the Transactions, since December 31, 2008 nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have or result in, either indirectly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

8.07. True and Complete Disclosure.

8.08. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) All proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrowers (i) on the Effective Date, to effect the Refinancing and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction; provided that (A) not more than $75,000,000 of the proceeds of the Loans may be utilized to pay amounts owing to finance the Refinancing or to pay any Transaction Costs and (B) no proceeds of the Loans may be utilized to pay amounts owing to finance the Refinancing to the extent it would constitute a refinancing of acquisition debt in breach Section 260 of the Corporations Act and (ii) thereafter, for working capital, capital expenditure and general corporate purposes of the Borrowers (including making intercompany Investments permitted under this Agreement in (including transfers and payments to) Holdings and its Subsidiaries for use by them for working capital, capital expenditure and general corporate purposes). All Letters of Credit will be used for the purposes described in Section 3.01(a).

(b) No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

8.09. Tax Returns and Payments. (a) Each of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed (or has filed requests for extensions) with the appropriate taxing authority all returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the income, properties or operations of,

152

Holdings and/or any of its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for the periods covered thereby. Each of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, other than those that are being contested in good faith and disclosed on Schedule 8.09 and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. There is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, nor will any of them incur, any material tax liability in connection with the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that the representation contained in this sentence does not cover any future tax liabilities of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries arising as a result of the operation of their businesses in the ordinary course of business).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.09, the representations and warranties made in this Section 8.09 and for all purposes of all Documents shall be untrue only if the effect of any or all conditions, violations, claims, restrictions, failures and noncompliance of the types described above could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

If any payment to any Secured Party of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured Parties, with each Secured Party whose Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Parties entitled to such distribution.

Unless it has received written notice from a Secured Party to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, in furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding.

(g) Subject to the other limitations (if any) set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, it is understood that the Credit Parties shall remain liable (as and to the extent set forth in the Credit Documents) to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations of the Credit Parties.

(h) It is understood and agreed by each Credit Party and each Secured Party that the Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 11.02 (including, without limitation, as to whether given Collateral constitutes Senior Secured Notes Priority Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral), in each case except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Each Credit Party and each Secured Party also agrees that the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the

204

requirements hereof and of the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to wait for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Foreign Credit Parties shall not be required to repay or prepay, or to guarantee, nor shall any proceeds in respect of Collateral of the Foreign Credit Parties and payments by the Foreign Credit Parties be applied to, direct obligations (excluding obligations as guarantor of the Foreign Credit Parties) of the U.S. Credit Parties.

SECTION 12. The Agents.

12.01. Appointment. The Lenders (including in their capacity as a Swingline Lender, Issuing Lender, Agent and/or Lead Arranger, as the case may be) hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Agents to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agents to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agents may perform any of their respective duties hereunder by or through their officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

12.02. Nature of Duties. (a) The Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agents shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document (but subject always to the provisions of Clause 12.13 in respect of the U.K. Security Documents) a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agents any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Credit Document, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Book-Runners are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Book-Runners shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Sections 12.06 and 13.01. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents, the Lead Arrangers and the Book-Runners shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement

205

or any other Credit Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

12.03. Lack of Reliance on the Agents. Independently and without reliance upon the Agents, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (b) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

12.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

12.05. Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that such Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by such Agent.

12.06. Indemnification. To the extent any Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by such Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its respective

206

duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s (or such affiliates’ thereof) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

12.07. Agents in their Individual Capacities. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, each Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender”, “Required Lenders”, “Supermajority Lenders”, “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include such Agent in its respective individual capacities. Each Agent and its respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

12.08. Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

12.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 12.09(a) through (e), the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include DBNY in its capacity as Collateral Agent hereunder and pursuant to the Security Documents) may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.01(e) then exists, Holdings. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Lender, in which case the resigning Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit or make any additional Swingline Loans or Specified Foreign Currency Loans hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing Lender, Swingline Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, or Swingline Loans or Specified Foreign Currency Loans made by it, prior to the date of such resignation.

207

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Holdings, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Holdings’ approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of Holdings (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Holdings’ consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

208

Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC may be removed as a Co-Collateral Agent by Holdings or the Required Lenders upon written notice to it as Co-Collateral Agent and with such removal to become effective immediately upon the delivery of such written notice.

(i) Upon a resignation or removal of any Co-Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 12.09(f), (g) or (h), any Co-Collateral Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Co-Collateral Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as such Co-Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

12.10. Collateral Matters.

Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release or subordinate (as the case may be) any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Total Commitment (and all Letters of Credit) and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations and other contingent obligations not due and payable) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than Holdings and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 10.02, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent required by Section 13.12) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents or in the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and

209

powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 12.10, in any of the Security Documents or in the Intercreditor Agreement, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, each Lender (for its benefit and the benefit of its Affiliates), each Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Agent (all such Lenders (for their benefit and the benefit of their respective Affiliates), Issuing Lender, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and other Agents are collectively called, for purposes of this Section 12.12, the “Quebec Secured Parties”) hereby acknowledges and agrees that DBNY shall, for purposes of holding any security granted by any Canadian Credit Party or by any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Canadian Credit Party on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure obligations of such Canadian Credit Party or such Affiliate or Subsidiary under any bond or debenture (the “Quebec Secured Obligations”), be the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of the Civil Code of Quebec) for all present and future Quebec Secured Parties and holders of any bond or debenture. Each of the Quebec Secured Parties, for itself and for all present and future Affiliates that are or may become Quebec Secured Parties hereby irrevocably constitutes, to the extent necessary, DBNY as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold security granted by any of the Canadian Credit Parties or by any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries to secure the Quebec Secured Obligations. Furthermore, each of the Quebec Secured Parties hereby appoints DBNY to act in the capacity of the holder and depositary of such bond or debenture on its own behalf as Collateral Agent and for and on behalf and for the

If a Co-Collateral Agent proposes an adjustment or revision to Borrowing Base eligibility standards, advance rates applicable to any Borrowing Base or Reserves, or makes any other proposal regarding a determination or action which may be made by the Co-Collateral Agents pursuant to this Agreement or any Credit Document, the other Co-Collateral Agents shall respond to such proposal within three Business Days of its receipt of such written proposal. In the event that the Co-Collateral Agents cannot agree on Borrowing Base eligibility standards, advance rates applicable to the Borrowing Base or Reserves or any other action or determination which may be made by the Co-Collateral Agents pursuant to the Agreement or any Credit Document, the consenting vote of 2 of the 3 Co-Collateral Agents shall be required; provided that if there are only two Co-Collateral Agents at the time of such determination, the determination shall be made by the individual Co-Collateral Agent either asserting the more conservative credit judgment or declining to permit the requested action for which consent is being sought by the relevant Borrowers, as applicable; provided further in the event an issue cannot be resolved by either the more conservative credit judgment or declining to permit a requested action by the Borrowers (such as the selection or replacement of an appraisal firm), then the decision of the Collateral Agent shall be final.

12.14. UK Security. Without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, each Lender (for its benefit and the benefit of its Affiliates as Secured Parties), each Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Agent party hereto and, by acceptance of the benefit of the guaranties granted under each Guaranty and the security interests granted in each Security Document, hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Liens created by the UK Security Documents are held by the Collateral Agent on and subject to the terms of the UK Security Documents.

212

claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person to be indemnified (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. In addition, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents for all reasonable third party administrative, audit and monitoring expenses incurred in connection with the Borrowing Base and determinations thereunder.

(b) To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each of Holdings and the other Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

13.02. Right of Setoff. (a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.04(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A

213

RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS SUBSECTION (b) SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.

13.03. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier communication, facsimile transmission or electronic mail) and mailed, telecopied, transmitted or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at the address, facsimile number or electronic mail address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents; if to any Lender, at its address, facsimile number or electronic mail address specified on Schedule 13.03; and if to the Administrative Agent or DBNY as Co-Collateral Agent, at the Notice Office; if to Bank of America, N.A. as Co-Collateral Agent, at 135 South LaSalle Street, Suite 425, Chicago, IL 60603, Attention: Trevor S.

13.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that neither Holdings nor any Borrower may assign or transfer any of their rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders which consent will not be given unless the assignee or transferee is a member of the same “wholly-owned group” as, or an Associate of, each of the Borrowers and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its

214

rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments or Loans hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Holdings or any other Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under any or all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i) (A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund (which fund, together with its Affiliates, has a combined capital and surplus in excess of $500,000,000) that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)); provided that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund (which fund, together with its Affiliates, has a combined capital and surplus in excess of $500,000,000) that invests in loans managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000, in each case in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in

215

loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (t) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitment and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (u) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrowers for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ joint and several expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitment and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may be, (v) the consents (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and, unless such assignment is to a Person that will not be a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, the Fronting Lender, shall be required in connection with any such assignment, (w) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, Holdings, shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) provided that Holdings shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof, (x) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, (y) each assignment by any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall require a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement with respect to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender unless the Fronting Lender agrees in its sole discretion that the respective assignee shall succeed such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender as a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender itself, in which case such assignee shall acquire the Specified Foreign Currency Participation of the respective assignor and (z) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to Holdings and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.04(b). In addition, at the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so and at the reasonable request of Holdings, file any certificate or document or furnish to the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such certificate or document that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction of, any Taxes, as described in Section 5.04(c). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers

216

shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). A Lender may only assign all or a portion of its Commitment hereunder if that assignment would result in at least two Lenders under this Agreement.

(c) The Commitment and the amount transferred to and paid by an assignee in relation to a Loan made to the Dutch Borrower or any other Borrower organized under the laws of the Netherlands, if any, shall be at least EUR 50,000 (or the equivalent in Dollars or any other currency) or, if less, the assignee shall confirm in writing to the Dutch Borrower or any other Borrower organized under the laws of the Netherlands, if any, that it is a PMP.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or Holdings), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (d) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(e) Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitment and/or Revolving Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 13.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

13.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between Holdings, any other Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06. Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on

217

behalf of any Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Fees or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.07. Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by Holdings to the Lenders); provided that, (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of the Applicable Margin, and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with Sections 9.16 and 10.07, shall utilize GAAP and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the audited financial statements of Holdings referred to in Section 8.05(a) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, (ii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis, (iii) for purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in Sections 8 and/or 9, amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a currency other than U.S. Dollars) shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate U.S. Dollar limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of U.S. Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than U.S. Dollars shall be converted into U.S. Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence or expenditures made under

218

any provision of any such Section that regulates the U.S. Dollar amount outstanding at any time) and (iv) all financial statements delivered hereunder shall be prepared, and all financial covenants and other financial calculations contained herein shall be determined, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof.

(b) All computations of interest (except as provided in Section 2.15), Commitment Fees and other Fees (other than Drawing Fees) hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except (x) for interest calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate or clause (i) of the definition of Canadian Prime Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable or (y) in the case of amounts denominated in Pounds Sterling, which shall be based on a year of 365 days) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees, the last day shall be included) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Fees or Fees are payable.

219

AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH CREDIT PARTY.

13.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with Holdings and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart hereof.

The Administrative Agent will give Holdings, the other Borrowers and each Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

13.11. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) above of this Section 13.12, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Incremental Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 enter into an Incremental Commitment Agreement, provided that after the execution and delivery by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each such Incremental Lender of such Incremental Commitment Agreement, such Incremental Commitment Agreement may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) above of this Section 13.12.

13.13. Survival; Continuing Obligation. (i) All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01, and in each other Credit Document, are a continuing obligation of each Credit Party, separate from each of their other respective obligations, and shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement, any other Credit Document and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations and (ii) any settlement or discharge of any claim under any indemnity in a Credit Document will be conditional on no payment made under that indemnity being avoided or set aside or ordered to be refunded by virtue of any provision of any enactment relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation.

13.14. Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

13.15. Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to serve as their agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of

223

the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (including as contemplated by Section 2.13). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. Any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance of the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Incremental Commitment Agreement. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15.

13.16. Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior consent of Holdings; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Agent, Issuing Lender or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the extent required pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process (in which case the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to inform Holdings promptly thereof), (b) to the extent required upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (in which case, the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender to the extent permitted, agrees to inform Holdings promptly thereof; although no such notice to Holdings shall be required in connection with ordinary course reviews by any such regulatory authority), (c) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of improper disclosure by the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender or any of its Affiliates, (d) to the extent that such information is received by the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender from a third party that is not to its knowledge subject to confidentiality obligations to any Credit Party, (e) to the extent that such information is independently developed by any of the Agents, any Issuing Lender or Lender without using any such Confidential Information obtained from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (f) to the Agents’, any Issuing Lender’s or any Lender’s respective Affiliates and their respective employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents who need to know such information in connection with the Transaction and are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (g) to potential Lenders, participants or assignees or any

224

potential counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective obligations, in each case who are instructed that they shall be bound by terms no less restrictive than this paragraph (or language substantially similar to this paragraph), or (h) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, provided that the respective Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender will, to the extent permitted, promptly provide Holdings with the opportunity to seek a protective order or other measure ensuring confidential treatment of the Confidential Information used to establish such defense.

(b) Holdings and the other Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

13.17. Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies Holdings and the other Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, the other Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Holdings, the other Borrowers and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

13.18. OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT; ETC. (a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE SENIOR SECURED NOTES DOCUMENTS, WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.18 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENTS ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS

225

THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER IS FURTHER AWARE THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IS ALSO ACTING IN AN ADMINISTRATIVE AND COLLATERAL AGENCY CAPACITY UNDER, AND AS DEFINED IN THE SENIOR SECURED NOTES DOCUMENTS, AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THERETO OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING THEREFROM.

13.19. Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. Each of the Credit Parties, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States, Canada, England and Wales, Australia, the Netherland or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Credit Document or any other liability or obligation of such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Credit Party, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States, Canada, England and Wales, Australia, the Netherland or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 13.19 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

13.20. Judgment Currency. (a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in the respective Available Currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the respective Issuing Lender or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

226

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

13.21. European Monetary Union. The following provisions of this Section 13.21 shall come into effect on and from the date on which the United Kingdom becomes a Participating Member State. Each obligation under this Agreement which has been denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be redenominated into Euros in accordance with the relevant EMU Legislation. However, if and to the extent that the relevant EMU Legislation provides that an amount which is denominated in Pounds Sterling can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or in that national currency unit, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any amount denominated or owing in Pounds Sterling hereunder either in Euros or in Pounds Sterling. Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any relevant EMU Legislation, (i) each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Pounds Sterling shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Euros as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify and (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 13.21, this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to Euros in the United Kingdom, provided that this Section 13.21 shall not reduce or increase any actual or contingent liability arising under this Agreement.

13.22. Qualified Secured Hedging Agreements and Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreements. On or prior to the date on which any ABL Credit Party shall enter into any Secured Hedging Agreement or any Secured Cash Management Agreement, or within 30 days after the entering into of the respective such agreement (or in the case of any Secured Hedging Agreement or any Secured Cash Management Agreement existing on the Effective Date, within 30 days of the Effective Date), Holdings shall, if it wishes that the respective Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement be treated as pari passu with the Obligations with respect to the priority of payment of proceeds of the Collateral in accordance with the waterfall provisions set forth Section 11.02, notify the Administrative Agent in writing whether (x) such Secured Hedging Agreement is to be a “Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement” or (y) such Secured Cash Management Agreement is to be a “Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement”. If Holdings shall fail to deliver such notice within the time period described above, such Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement shall not constitute a Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be. The parties hereto understand and agree that the provisions of this Section 13.22 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their affiliates

227

which become parties to Secured Hedging Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, and agree that any amendments or modifications to the provisions of this Section 13.22 shall not be effective with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement, as the cash may be, entered into prior to the date of respective amendment or modification of this Section 13.22 (without the written consent of the relevant parties thereto).

Notwithstanding any such designation of a Secured Hedging Agreement as a Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or a Secured Cash Management Agreement as a Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement, no provider or holder of any such Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider of such agreements or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall their consent be required (other than in their capacities as a Lender to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, including without limitation, as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or guarantors. The Administrative Agent accepts no responsibility and shall have no liability for the calculation of the exposure owing by the Credit Parties under any such Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement and/or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement or the amount of any Qualified Secured Hedging Agreement Reserve and/or Qualified Secured Cash Management Agreement Reserve, and shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable Lender (or affiliate thereof) and the applicable Credit Party party to such agreement for the calculation thereof. Such Lender (or affiliate thereof) and the applicable Credit Party party to any such agreement each agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents with the calculations of all such exposures and reserves, if any, at such times as the Administrative Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents shall reasonably request, and in any event, not less than monthly (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents).

Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Borrower.

14.03. Authorization. Each of the Borrowers authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Credit Documents:

(a) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Borrower or any Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(b) release or substitute any other Borrower, endorsers, Guarantors or other obligors;

(e) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Borrower or any other Person.

14.04. Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Borrower,

230

Holdings or any of its other Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Borrower Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the respective Borrowers hereunder.

14.05. Contribution; Subrogation. No Borrower shall exercise any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until (i) the Total Commitment and all Letters of Credit have been terminated and (ii) all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. To the extent that any Australian Credit Party, Canadian Credit Party, Dutch Credit Party, U.K. Credit Party or U.S. Credit Party shall be required to pay a portion of the Obligations which shall exceed the amount of loans, advances or other extensions of credit received by such Credit Party and all interest, costs, fees and expenses attributable to such loans, advances or other extensions of credit, then such Credit Party shall be reimbursed by the other Credit Parties within its group (Australian, Canadian, Dutch, U.K. or U.S.) for the amount of such excess, subject to the restrictions of the previous sentence. This Section 14.05 is intended only to define the relative rights of Credit Parties, and nothing set forth in this Section 14.05 is intended or shall impair the obligations of each Credit Party to pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof.

14.06. Waiver. Each Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders to (i) proceed against any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, any Issuing Lender’s or Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or on or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of its Borrower Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of its Borrower Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of its Borrower Obligations.

14.07. Limitation on Foreign Borrower Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document (including provisions that may override any other provision), in no event shall the Foreign Borrowers or any other Foreign Credit Party guarantee or be deemed to have guaranteed or become liable or obligated on a joint and several basis or otherwise for, or to have pledged any of its assets to secure, any direct U.S. Borrower Obligation under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents. All provisions contained in any Credit Document shall be interpreted consistently with this Section 14.07 to the extent possible, and where such other provisions conflict with the provisions of this Section 14.07, the provisions of this Section 14.07 shall govern.

14.08. Rights and Obligations. The obligations of the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Lender under this Agreement bind each of them severally. Failure by the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Lender, any Issuing Lender or any

231

Lender, as the case may be, to perform its obligations under this Agreement does not affect the obligations of any other party under this Agreement. The Swingline Lender, the Fronting Lender, each Issuing Lender or each Lender is not responsible for the obligations of any other Swingline Lender, Fronting Lender, Issuing Lender or Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement. The rights, powers and remedies of the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Lender in connection with this Agreement are separate and independent rights, powers and remedies and any debt arising under this Agreement to or for the account of the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Lender from a Credit Party is a separate and independent debt.

SECTION 15. Revolving Loans; Intra-Lender Issues.

15.01. Specified Foreign Currency Participations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Revolving Loans which are denominated in Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Pounds Sterling or Euros (each, a “Specified Foreign Currency Loan”) shall be made solely by the Lenders (including the Fronting Lender) who are not Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders. Subject to Section 15.07, each Lender acceptable to the Fronting Lender (in its sole discretion) that does not have Specified Foreign Currency Funding Capacity (a “Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender”) at the time such Lender becomes a “Lender” hereunder shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire and shall be deemed to irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire from the Fronting Lender, and the Fronting Lender shall sell and be deemed to sell to each such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, without recourse or any representation or warranty whatsoever, an undivided interest and participation (a “Specified Foreign Currency Participation”) in each Revolving Loan which is a Specified Foreign Currency Loan funded by the Fronting Lender in an amount equal to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s RL Percentage of the Borrowing that includes such Revolving Loan (it being understood and agreed that whether or not a Person should become a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall be made by the Administrative Agent in it sole discretion, but once made, subject to Section 15.07, shall not be revoked). Such purchase and sale of a Specified Foreign Currency Participation shall be deemed to occur automatically upon the making of a Specified Foreign Currency Loan by the Fronting Lender, without any further notice to any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender. The purchase price payable by each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender for each Specified Foreign Currency Participation purchased by it from the Fronting Lender shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Specified Foreign Currency Participation (i.e., the product of (i) the amount of the Borrowing that includes the relevant Revolving Loan and (ii) such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s RL Percentage), and such purchase price shall be payable by each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender in accordance with the settlement procedure set forth in Section 15.02. The Fronting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall record on their books the amount of the Revolving Loans made by the Fronting Lender and each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s Specified Foreign Currency Participation and funded Specified Foreign Currency Participation therein, all payments in respect thereof and interest accrued thereon and all payments made by and to each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender pursuant to this Section 15.01. This Section 15 shall not affect the obligations of any Lender that does not have Specified Foreign Currency Funding Capacity and that is not a Participating

232

Specified Foreign Currency Lender to make Specified Foreign Currency Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the other Sections of this Agreement.

15.02. Settlement Procedures for Specified Foreign Currency Participations. Each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s Specified Foreign Currency Participation in the Specified Foreign Currency Loans shall be in an amount equal to its RL Percentage of all such Specified Foreign Currency Loans. However, in order to facilitate the administration of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans made by the Fronting Lender and the Specified Foreign Currency Participations, settlement among the Fronting Lender and the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders with regard to the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders’ Specified Foreign Currency Participations shall take place in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) The Fronting Lender and the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders shall settle (a “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement”) by payments in respect of the Specified Foreign Currency Participations as follows: So long as any Specified Foreign Currency Loans are outstanding, Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlements shall be effected upon the request of the Fronting Lender through the Administrative Agent on such Business Days as requested by the Fronting Lender and as the Administrative Agent shall specify by a notice by telecopy, telephone or similar form of notice to each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender requesting such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement (each such date on which a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement occurs herein called a “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date”), such notice to be delivered no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) at least one Business Day prior to the requested Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date; provided that the Fronting Lender shall have the option but not the obligation to request a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date and, in any event, shall not request a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default; provided further, that if (x) such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance with the terms hereof, (y) no Obligations have yet been declared due and payable under Section 11.01 and (z) the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of such cure or waiver, all prior to the Administrative Agent’s giving notice to the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders of the first Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date under this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent shall not give notice to the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders of a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date based upon such cured or waived Event of Default. If on any Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date the total principal amount of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans made or deemed made by the Fronting Lender during the period ending on (but excluding) such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date and commencing on (and including) the immediately preceding Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date (or the Effective Date in the case of the period ending on the first Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date) (each such period herein called a “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Period”) is greater than the principal amount of Specified Foreign Currency Loans repaid during such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Period to the Fronting Lender, each

233

Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall pay to the Fronting Lender (through the Administrative Agent), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date, an amount equal to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s ratable share of the amount of such excess. If in any Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Period the outstanding principal amount of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans repaid to the Fronting Lender in such period exceeds the total principal amount of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans made or deemed made by the Fronting Lender during such period, the Fronting Lender shall pay to each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender (through the Administrative Agent) on such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date an amount equal to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s ratable share of such excess. Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlements in respect of Specified Foreign Currency Loans shall be made in the respective Available Currency in which such Specified Foreign Currency Loan was funded on the Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date for such Specified Foreign Currency Loans.

(b) If any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender fails to pay to the Fronting Lender on any Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date the full amount required to be paid by such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender on such Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date in respect of such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s Specified Foreign Currency Participation (such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Amount”) with the Fronting Lender, the Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover such unpaid amount from such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, together with interest thereon (in the same respective currency or currencies as the relevant Specified Foreign Currency Loans) at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus 2.00%. Without limiting the Fronting Lender’s rights to recover from any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender any unpaid Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Amount payable by such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to withhold from amounts otherwise payable to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender an amount equal to such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s unpaid Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Amount owing to the Fronting Lender and apply such withheld amount to the payment of any unpaid Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Amount owing by such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to the Fronting Lender.

15.03. Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender to purchase from the Fronting Lender a participation in each Specified Foreign Currency Loan made by the Fronting Lender and to make payments to the Fronting Lender with respect to such participation, in each case as provided herein, shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances:

234

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or of any Loans, against the Borrowers or any other Credit Party;

(b) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers or any other Credit Party may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Foreign Currency Loans, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions;

(d) the surrender or impairment of any security for any Specified Foreign Currency Loans;

(e) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;

(f) the commencement or pendency of any events specified in Section 11.01(e), in respect of Holdings, the other Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person; or

(g) the failure to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 or 7.

15.04. Recovery or Avoidance of Payments. In the event any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Credit Party received by the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender with respect to any Specified Foreign Currency Loan made by the Fronting Lender is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Lender in connection with any insolvency proceeding or due to any mistake of law or fact, each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall, upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Fronting Lender (through the Administrative Agent) such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s RL Percentage of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate and in the currency required to be paid by the Fronting Lender or the Administrative Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

15.05. Indemnification by Lenders. Each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender agrees to indemnify the Fronting Lender (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Credit Document) ratably for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Fronting Lender in any way relating to or arising out of any Specified Foreign Currency Loans or any action taken or omitted by the Fronting Lender in connection therewith; provided that no Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the foregoing, each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender agrees to reimburse the Fronting Lender promptly upon demand for such Participating Specified Foreign

235

Currency Lender’s ratable share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrowers to the Fronting Lender in respect of the Specified Foreign Currency Loans to the extent that the Fronting Lender is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. The agreement contained in this Section 15.05 shall survive payment in full of all Specified Foreign Currency Loans.

15.06. Specified Foreign Currency Loan Participation Fee. In consideration for each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender’s participation in the Specified Foreign Currency Loans made by the Fronting Lender, the Fronting Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender, as and when the Fronting Lender receives payment of interest on its Specified Foreign Currency Loans, a fee (the “Specified Foreign Currency Participation Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on such Specified Foreign Currency Loans minus 0.25% on the unfunded Specified Foreign Currency Participation of such Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender in such Specified Foreign Currency Loans of the Fronting Lender. The Specified Foreign Currency Participation Fee in respect of any unfunded Specified Foreign Currency Participation in a Specified Foreign Currency Loan shall be payable to the Administrative Agent in the Available Currency in which the respective Specified Foreign Currency Loan was funded when interest on such Specified Foreign Currency Loan is received by the Fronting Lender. If the Fronting Lender does not receive payment in full of such interest, the Specified Foreign Currency Participation Fee in respect of the unfunded Specified Foreign Currency Participation in such Specified Foreign Currency Loans shall be reduced proportionately. Any amounts payable under this Section 15.06 by the Administrative Agent to the Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lenders shall be paid in the Available Currency in which the respective Specified Foreign Currency Loan was funded (or, if different, the currency in which such interest payments are actually received).

15.07. Defaulting Lenders; etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, (x) no Lender may become a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender at any time it is a Defaulting Lender, and (y) if any Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender at any time becomes a Defaulting Lender or if the Fronting Lender reasonably determines that the credit quality of any then existing Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender has suffered a material adverse change, the Fronting Lender shall have the right to, by notice to the affected Lender, (i) terminate such Lender’s status as a Participating Specified Foreign Currency Lender for Revolving Loans and (ii) declare a Specified Foreign Currency Participation Settlement Date to occur with respect to such affected Lender.

SECTION 16. Parallel Debt. By execution of this Agreement, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Fronting Lender and the Swingline Lender acknowledge the provisions of Section 5.18 (Parallel Debt (Covenant to pay the Collateral Agent)) of each Guaranty and hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to accept such clause on their behalf.

236

SECTION 17. Release of Liens and Guaranties.

A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Credit Documents and all security interests in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of Holdings; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise. Upon any sale or other transfer by any Credit Party of any Collateral (other than a sale or transfer of Collateral to Holdings or any other Credit Party, unless the respective transferee is not required to grant a security interest upon the Collateral so transferred to it) that is permitted under this Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted under any Credit Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 13.12 of this Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Subsidiary Guarantor, at such Subsidiary Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by, the Collateral Agent.
