To the extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer to the accounts the Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request.

SECTION II.7. Issuance Procedures. By delivering to the Agent an Issuance Request on or before 12:00 noon, London, England time, on a Business Day, the Borrower or the U.S. Parent may, from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than two nor more than 15 Business Days’ notice, that the Issuer issue, increase the Stated Amount of, or extend the Stated Expiry Date of, as the case may be, a Letter of Credit in any Available Currency in such form as may be requested by the Borrower or the U.S. Parent, as applicable, and approved by the Issuer, such Letter of Credit to be used solely for the purposes described in Section 4.10; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit that is not a stand-by letter of credit (or is otherwise to be used for working capital purposes of the Group Companies) shall be issued in a minimum amount of $100,000. Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier of (a) one year from the date of issuance (or, if extendable beyond such period, cancelable upon at least 30 days’ notice given by the Issuer to the beneficiary of such Letters of Credit) and (b) the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date. The Issuer will make available to the beneficiary thereof the original of each Letter of Credit which it issues hereunder. Unless notified in writing by the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that a Default or Event of Default exists, the Issuer may issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuer’s customary practices.

SECTION II.7.1. Other Lenders’ Participation. Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer pursuant hereto, and without further action, each Lender (other than the Issuer) shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased (without recourse, representation or warranty), to the extent of its

Percentage, a participation interest in such Letter of Credit (including any Disbursement thereunder), and such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage, be responsible for promptly (and in any event within one Business Day together with interest at the overnight LIBO Rate (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next highest 1/100 of 1%) for each day until reimbursement is made) purchasing from the Issuer a participation interest in the Disbursement which has not been reimbursed by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.7.3 or which have been reimbursed by the Borrower but have been required to be returned or disgorged by the Issuer. In addition, such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage and so long as it shall have complied with its obligations under this Section and Section 2.7.3, be entitled to receive a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3.2(a) with respect to each Letter of Credit and of interest payable pursuant to Section 3.2 with respect to any unreimbursed Disbursement. To the extent that any Lender has purchased from the Issuer a participation interest in any unreimbursed Disbursement, such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable portion of any amounts subsequently received (from the Borrower or otherwise) in respect of such Disbursement.

SECTION II.7.2. Disbursements. The Issuer will notify the Borrower and the Agent promptly of the presentment for payment of any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer, together with notice of the date (the “Disbursement Date”) such payment shall be made (each such payment, a “Disbursement”). Subject to the terms and provisions of such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, the Issuer shall make such payment to the beneficiary (or its designee) of such Letter of Credit in the applicable currency. Prior to 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on the first Business Day following the Disbursement Date, the Borrower will reimburse the Agent, for the account of the Issuer, for all amounts which the Issuer has disbursed under such Letter of Credit, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum then in effect pursuant to Section 3.2 for the period from the Disbursement Date through the date of such reimbursement.

SECTION II.7.3. Reimbursement. The obligation (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) of the Borrower under Section 2.7.2 to reimburse the Issuer with respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon) made on the Borrower’s behalf, and, upon the failure of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuer (or if any reimbursement by the Borrower must be returned or disgorged by the Issuer for any reason), each Lender’s obligation under Section 2.7.1 to purchase a participation interest in any unreimbursed Disbursement, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had against the Issuer or any Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that, in the case of the Borrower, after paying in full its Reimbursement Obligation or, in the case of any Lender, after purchasing its participation interest in any unreimbursed Disbursement, in each case, hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, to commence any proceeding against the Issuer for any wrongful Disbursement made by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of such Issuer.

SECTION II.7.4. Deemed Disbursements. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Default of the type described in Section 8.1.9 or, with notice from the Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default

(a) an amount equal to that portion of all Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to the then aggregate amount which is undrawn and available under all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding shall, without demand upon or notice to the Borrower, be deemed to have been paid or disbursed by the Issuer under such Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such amount may not in fact have been so paid or disbursed); and

(b) upon notification by the Agent to the Borrower of the Borrower’s obligations under this Section, the Borrower shall be immediately obligated to reimburse the Issuer for the aggregate amount deemed to have been so paid or disbursed by such Issuer with respect to all Letter of Credit Outstandings.

Any amounts so payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be deposited in cash in the applicable currency in accounts under the sole control of the Agent and otherwise on terms satisfactory to the Agent and held as collateral security for the Obligations in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuers. In the case of any such deemed disbursement resulting from the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, if such Default or

Event of Default has been cured or waived, the Agent shall return to the Borrower all amounts then on deposit with the Agent pursuant to this Section which have not been applied to the partial satisfaction of such Obligations.

SECTION II.7.5. Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower and, to the extent set forth in Section 2.7.1, each Lender shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The Issuer shall not be responsible for:

(a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

(b) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

(c) failure of the beneficiary to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit;

(d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; or

(e) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit.

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the Issuer or any Lender hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuer in good faith (and not constituting gross negligence or wilful misconduct) shall be binding upon the Borrower and each such Lender, and shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any such Lender, as the case may be.

SECTION II.8. Notes. Each Lender’s Loans under a Commitment shall be evidenced by a Note from the Borrower payable to the order of such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the original applicable Commitment Amount. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Notes (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the interest rate applicable to, the Loans evidenced thereby, and whether such Loans are denominated in Dollars or an Optional Currency. Such notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of such information; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Non-U.S. Group Company.

SECTION II.9. Special Provisions for Optional Currency Loans and Letters of Credit.

SECTION II.9.1. Notification of Request. If any Borrowing Request requests a Borrowing in an Optional Currency, or if pursuant to any Continuation Notice the Borrower elects to continue any Loan denominated in an Optional Currency, the Agent shall in the notice given to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 2.5, as the case may be, give details of such request or election including, as the case may be, the aggregate principal amount of the Borrowing in such Optional Currency to be made by each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the aggregate principal amount of such Loans to be continued by each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION II.9.2. Availability. Each Lender shall be treated as having confirmed that the Optional Currency requested, or elected by the Borrower to be continued, is Available to it unless no later than 12:00 noon (London, England time) two Business Days prior to the day of the requested Borrowing, or the proposed continuation, it shall have notified the Agent that such Optional Currency is not Available.

SECTION II.9.3. Notification of Availability. In the event the Agent has received notification from any of the Lenders that the Optional Currency requested or elected by the Borrower to be continued is not Available, then the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof no later than 2:00 p.m. (London, England time) two Business Days prior to the day of the proposed Borrowing or proposed continuation.

SECTION II.9.4. Consequences of Non-Availability. If the Agent notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9.3 that any of the Lenders has notified the Agent that the Optional Currency requested or elected by the Borrower to be continued is not Available, such notification shall (a) in the case of any Borrowing Request, revoke such Borrowing Request and (b) in the case of any Continuation Notice, result in the Loans denominated in such Optional Currency being automatically converted into Loans denominated in Dollars for a one month Interest Period on the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect to such Loans denominated in such Optional Currency.

SECTION II.9.5. Dollar Amount Determinations. For purposes of determining, on any date, the Loan outstandings borrowed in an Optional Currency and Letter of Credit Outstandings denominated in an Optional Currency and for purposes of calculating fees payable under Sections 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 with respect to Optional Currency Loans outstanding and Letter of Credit Outstandings, the principal amount of such Loans and the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to any Optional Currency Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be, as of any date of determination, the Dollar Amount thereof at such date. The initial Dollar Amount shall be determined by the Agent and/or Issuer, as the case may be, on the date of borrowing or issuance thereof determined in accordance with the definition of “Dollar Amount” in Section 1.1.

SECTION II.9.6. Optional Currency Letters of Credit. If a Disbursement is made by the Issuer under any Optional Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Amount of such Disbursement shall be determined by the Issuer on the Disbursement Date related thereto. The Issuer shall notify the Agent and the Borrower promptly of such Dollar Amount determined by it, on the date that such determination is required to be made.

SECTION II.9.8. European Monetary Union. If and to the extent that any provision of this Section relates to any state (or the currency of such state) that is not a Participating Member State on the Effective Date, such provision shall become effective in relation to such state (and the currency of such state) at and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State.

(a) An amount denominated in the National Currency of a Participating Member State shall be redenominated into Euros in accordance with EMU legislation and paid by the debtor either in Euros or in such National Currency, and an amount denominated in Euros shall be paid by the debtor in Euros unless EMU Legislation provides otherwise, provided, that if and to the extent that any EMU Legislation provides that an amount denominated either in Euros or in the National Currency of a Participating Member State and payable within the Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or in that National Currency, any party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any such amount either in Euros or in such National Currency.

(b) If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to the currency of any state that is or becomes a Participating Member State shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State.

(c) Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders, the Issuer and the Agent under or pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this clause (c), each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Agent in consultation with the Borrower may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in Participating Member States.

SECTION II.10.1. Overdraft Banks. Any Lender or other financial institution may, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, become an Overdraft Bank hereunder upon the due execution and delivery of an appropriate joinder agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, pursuant to which such Lender or other financial institution assumes the rights and responsibilities of an Overdraft Bank hereunder.

SECTION II.10.2. Purpose, etc. In accordance with Schedule II, an Overdraft Bank may agree to provide an uncommitted overdraft facility to the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Each Overdraft Borrower shall use any Overdraft Facility only as permitted by Schedule II.

(a) The Overdraft Bank may at any time give written notice (an “Overdraft Refinancing Notice”) to the Agent, which notice shall be substantially in the form set out in Part 2 of Schedule II, requesting that a Borrowing (an “Overdraft Refinancing Loan”) consisting of Tranche A Loans on the date specified in the Overdraft Refinancing Notice, which date must be a Business Day falling (i) (x) in the event that an Event of Default is not continuing, prior to the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date, and (y) in the event that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prior to the Overdraft Exercise Deadline (as defined in clause (c) of this Section) relating to such Event of Default, and (ii) unless the Overdraft Refinancing Notice is received by the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. or the Agent otherwise agrees, at least one Business Day after the date on which the Overdraft Refinancing Notice was given. Once received by the Agent, an Overdraft Refinancing Notice is irrevocable. The Agent agrees to notify the Lenders of any Overdraft Refinancing Notice and the contents thereof, promptly upon receipt of such Overdraft Refinancing Notice.

(b) The amount of the Overdraft Refinancing Loan requested shall equal to the aggregate of the net debit balances (or, in the Agent’s discretion, in the case of net debit balances denominated in an Optional Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof) (“Overdraft Outstandings”) then owing by each Overdraft Borrower under the Overdraft Facility (for the avoidance of doubt, such amount shall not exceed the Overdraft Limit).

(c) Upon receipt of an Overdraft Refinancing Notice, each Lender shall make to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall borrow, the Overdraft Refinancing Loan; provided, however, that if the Agent notifies the Overdraft Bank in writing that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) unless the Overdraft Bank either delivers an Overdraft Refinancing Notice, or notifies the Agent that it will not be delivering an Overdraft Refinancing Notice, prior to the fifth Business Day after such notification from the Agent (the “Overdraft Exercise Deadline”), the Overdraft Bank shall be deemed to have given an Overdraft Refinancing Notice on such fifth Business Day, and (ii) during the period beginning on the Overdraft Exercise Deadline and ending on the date that such Event of Default shall have been cured, the Lenders shall not be required to make any Overdraft Refinancing Loans. The Agent agrees to notify the Overdraft Bank in writing if any Event of Default should occur and be continuing promptly after it has knowledge thereof. The Interest Period for an Overdraft Refinancing Loan shall be one month unless the Agent and the Borrower agree otherwise.

(d) At any time, the Agent may request in writing that the Overdraft Bank provide information in reasonable scope and detail relating to the Overdraft Facility (including, without limitation, the aggregate amount of all Overdraft Commitments at any given time), and the Overdraft Bank shall provide such information to the Agent promptly (and in any event no later than one Business Day) following receipt of such request from the Agent.

(e) The Agent shall transfer the proceeds of any Overdraft Refinancing Loan directly to an account designated by the Overdraft Bank and the Overdraft Bank shall immediately apply such proceeds on behalf of the Overdraft Borrowers towards repayment of the Overdraft Outstandings.

(f) The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Overdraft Bank to give any Overdraft Refinancing Notice to the Agent and to effect the drawing of an Overdraft Refinancing Loan on behalf, and

for the account, of the Borrower, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees to such Borrowing being effected in this manner.

(g) The Parties agree that if, for any reason, following the giving of an Overdraft Refinancing Notice, this Section 2.10 does not take effect in accordance with its terms so as to constitute a Borrowing by the Borrower of an Overdraft Refinancing Loan, the giving of such Overdraft Refinancing Notice shall constitute an assignment of Overdraft Outstandings to each of the Lenders that would otherwise be required to participate in the Overdraft Refinancing Loan, in accordance with such Lender’s Percentage, in consideration of the payment by such Lender of the amount required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section.

SECTION II.10.4. Limitation on Reduction of Tranche A Commitment. The Borrower shall not terminate, or reduce all or any portion of, the Tranche A Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 2.3 if such termination or reduction would reduce the unused portion of the Tranche A Commitment Amount to an amount less than the Overdraft Commitment then in effect, without the prior written consent of the Overdraft Bank.

SECTION II.10.5. No Obligation to Monitor. None of the Agent and the Lenders shall have any obligation to monitor or verify the use or application of the Overdraft Facility.

SECTION III.1. Repayments and Prepayments. The Borrower shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of each of its Loans upon the Stated Maturity Date and pursuant to Section 8.2 and Section 8.3. Prior thereto, repayments and prepayments of Loans shall be made as set forth in this Section 3.1.

SECTION III.1.1. Voluntary Prepayments. Prior to the Stated Maturity Date, the Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of all of its Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans, as the case may be; provided, however, that

(a) any such prepayments shall be made pro rata among the Loans denominated in the same currency, and, if applicable, having the same Interest Period of all the Lenders;

(b) all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least one but no more than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent; and

(c) all such voluntary partial prepayments of Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000, 1,000,000 or 2,000,000 Euros, as applicable, and an aggregate integral multiple of $1,000,000, 500,000 or 1,000,000 Euros, as applicable.

Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty but subject to Section 4.4. Each voluntary prepayment made by the Borrower in accordance with this Section shall be applied first to the prepayment of Tranche A Loans, as specified above, and following the repayment in full of the Tranche A Loans, to the prepayment of Tranche B Loans.

SECTION III.1.2. Mandatory Repayments and Prepayments. Prior to the Stated Maturity Date,

(a) the Borrower shall, on each date when the aggregate outstanding principal amount (after converting the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Optional Currency Loans to the Dollar Amount thereof (subject to Sections 2.9.5 and 2.9.6)) of all Tranche A Loans of the Borrower exceeds the Tranche A Commitment Availability, make a mandatory prepayment of all Tranche A Loans in an amount equal to such excess;

(b) the Borrower shall, on each date when the aggregate outstanding principal amount (after converting the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Optional Currency Loans to the Dollar Amount thereof (subject to Sections 2.9.5 and 2.9.6)) of all Tranche B Loans of the Borrower exceeds the Tranche B Commitment Availability, make a mandatory prepayment of all Tranche B Loans in an amount equal to such excess; or

(c the Borrower shall, no later than 180 days after receipt by the relevant Group Company of any Net Disposition Proceeds, Net Equity Proceeds or Net Debt Proceeds (or, if earlier, on the date on which it is decided that such proceeds shall not be reinvested in accordance with the proviso in this clause (c)), apply 100% of all Net Disposition Proceeds, Net Equity Proceeds and Net Debt Proceeds,

(i) to make a mandatory prepayment of, first, the Tranche A Loans and, second, the Tranche B Loans, and

(ii) thereafter, if no Loans are outstanding, to permanently reduce, first, the Tranche B Commitment Amount, and, second, the Tranche A Commitment Amount, in each case on a pro rata basis among the respective Lenders having such Commitments;

provided, however, that no such prepayment or reduction shall be required pursuant to this subparagraph (c) in respect of Net Disposition Proceeds or Net Equity Proceeds if such Net Disposition Proceeds or Net Equity Proceeds are reinvested in a Permitted Acquisition or in assets that will be used in a Core Business (other than in the line of business known as “Retail and Malls and Janitorial Supply Services”) no later than 180 days after their receipt; and

(d the Borrower shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the Stated Maturity Date of any Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, repay all (or if only a portion of its Loans are accelerated thereunder, such portion of) such Loans.

Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be made without premium or penalty, except as specified herein.

SECTION III.2. Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Section 3.2.

SECTION III.2.1. Rates. Loans comprising a Borrowing shall accrue interest at a rate per annum, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, relative to any Loan made by any Lender for any Interest Period,

(a) which is denominated in Dollars and made by such Lender out of its LIBOR Office located in the U.S., a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) determined pursuant to the following formula:

(b) which is denominated in any Optional Currency or in Dollars and is made by such Lender out of its LIBOR Office located in London, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) determined pursuant to the following formula:

The Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Interest Period for Loans denominated in Dollars and made by any Lender out of its LIBOR Office located in the U.S. will be determined by the Agent on the basis of the LIBOR Reserve Percentage in effect on, and the applicable rates furnished to and received by the Agent from Scotiabank, two Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period.

“LIBO Rate” means, in relation to any Loan or unpaid sum and any specified period:

(a) the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be equal to the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards to four decimal places) of the offered rates (if any) appearing on Telerate Page 3750 of the Dow Jones Telerate Monitor Service (or, in respect of any Optional Currency, any other applicable page of that service or, in respect of any Loan or unpaid sum denominated in Euro, the applicable page of that service for EUROLIBOR and, in each case, any equivalent successor to the relevant page) for deposits in the currency in which such Loan or unpaid sum is to be denominated and for such specified period at or about 11.00 a.m. on the Quotation Date for such specified period; or

(b) if no such rates appear on Telerate Page 3750 or other applicable page of the Dow Jones Telerate Monitor Service, the applicable page is not on display or the Dow Jones Telerate Monitor Service is not operating, the rate per annum determined by the Agent to be equal to the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards to four decimal places) of the rates (as notified to the Agent) at which each of the Reference Banks was offering to prime banks in the London interbank market deposits in the currency in which such Loan or unpaid sum is to be denominated and for such specified period at or about 11.00 a.m. on the Quotation Date for such specified period.

For the purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this definition, “specified period” means the term of such Loan or, as the case may be, the relevant period in respect of which LIBOR fails to be determined in relation to such unpaid sum.

“LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means, relative to any Interest Period for Loans, the reserve requirements (expressed as a decimal) equal to the maximum aggregate reserve requirements (including all basic, emergency, supplemental, marginal and other reserves and taking into account any transitional adjustments or other scheduled changes in reserve requirements) specified under regulations issued from time to time by the F.R.S. Board and then applicable to assets or liabilities consisting of or including “Eurocurrency Liabilities”, as currently defined in Regulation D of the F.R.S. Board, having a term approximately equal or comparable to such Interest Period.

All Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Loan.

SECTION III.2.2. Post-Default Rates. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum otherwise in effect (including any additional margin in effect) plus a further margin of 2% per annum.

SECTION III.2.3. Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable, without duplication:

(b on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan on the principal amount so paid or prepaid;

(c on the last day of each applicable Interest Period (and, if such Interest Period shall exceed three months, on each three-month anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period); and

(d on that portion of any Loans the Stated Maturity Date of which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration.

Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on the Stated Maturity Date therefor, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

SECTION III.3. Fees. The Borrower (as applicable) agrees to pay the fees set forth in this Section 3.3. All such fees shall be non-refundable.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the pro rata account of each Lender of Tranche A Loans, for the period (including any portion thereof when the Tranche A Commitment is suspended by reason of any relevant Borrower’s inability to satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date, a commitment fee equal to 0.375% per annum on such Lender’s Percentage of the sum of the average daily undrawn and unused portion of the Tranche A Commitment Amount. For avoidance of doubt, the Tranche A Commitment shall be deemed to be used by the amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings but shall not be deemed to be used by the amount of any Overdraft Facility. Such commitment fees shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first Quarterly Payment Date following the Effective Date, and on the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the pro rata account of each Lender of Tranche B Loans, for the period (including any portion thereof when the Tranche B Commitment is suspended by reason of any relevant Borrower’s inability to satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date, a commitment fee equal to 0.20% per annum on such Lender’s Percentage of the sum of the average daily undrawn and unused portion of the Tranche B Commitment Amount. Such commitment fees shall be payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first Quarterly Payment Date following the Effective Date, and on the Tranche B Commitment Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the pro rata account of the Issuer and each Lender, a Letter of Credit fee in an amount equal to the then effective Applicable Margin multiplied by the Letter of Credit Outstandings, such fee to be paid quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Tranche A Commitment Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower further agrees to pay to the Issuer such fees in connection with each Letter of Credit such additional fees, costs and expenses as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Issuer in a separate confidential fee letter (the “Letter of Credit Fee Letter”).

SECTION III.3.3. Fees, etc. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent and the Issuer for their own accounts, fees in the amounts, on the dates and in the manner set forth in the Fee Letter.

SECTION IV.1. LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful, etc. If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to (a) make, continue or maintain any Loan or (b) make any Loan to any particular Borrower, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or maintain any such Loan, or Loan, as the case may be, shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all Loans shall

automatically become due and payable at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by applicable law.

(a Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to Scotiabank in its relevant market; or

(b by reason of circumstances affecting Scotiabank’s relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to Loans or that the LIBO Rate will not adequately or fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making of maintaining Loans,

then, the Agent shall promptly give the Borrower and each Lender notice thereof (a “Determination Notice”) containing particulars of the circumstances giving rise to such Determination Notice and:

(i) If the Agent or the Borrower so requires, within 5 Business Days of such Determination Notice, the Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations with a view to agreeing on a reasonable alternative basis (the “Substitute Basis”) for making available or, as the case may be, maintaining its Loans, and any Substitute Basis that is agreed on shall take effect in accordance with its terms and be binding on each of the Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders.

(ii) If the Agent and the Borrower have entered into such negotiations and an agreement is not reached within 10 Business Days of the date of entry into such negotiations, the Agent shall certify the Substitute Basis. The Substitute Basis may (without limitation) include alternative interest periods, alternative currencies or alternative rates of interest, but shall include a margin above the cost of funds (including any additional costs) to such Lenders equivalent to the Applicable Margin. Each Substitute Basis so certified shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall take effect in accordance with its terms from the date specified in the Determination Notice until such time as the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that none of the circumstances specified in clauses (a) and (b) continues to exist, at which time the normal interest rate fixing provision of this Agreement shall apply.

(iii) While any Substitute Basis remains in effect, the Agent in consultation with the Borrower, shall review on a regular basis whether the circumstances referred to in clauses (a) and (b) still exist with a view to returning to the normal interest rate fixing provisions of this Agreement if such circumstances do not exist.

SECTION IV.3. Increased Costs, etc. (a) Each Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender in respect of, making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make, continue or maintain) any of the Borrower’s Loans (including but not limited to any imposition or effectiveness of reserve requirements not already included in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage or Adjusted LIBO Rate but excluding increases in Taxes and taxes expressly excluded from Taxes pursuant to the first sentence of Section 4.6, as to which the provisions of Section 4.6 shall control) that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in, after the Effective Date, of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority (other than the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority reflected in the calculation of Associated Costs, except where such Associated Costs do not represent the cost to a Lender of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority in relation to its funding or maintaining of Loans). Such Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be paid by the Borrower directly to such Lender promptly (and, in any event, within 15 Business Days of receipt of such notice), and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

(b If at any time the introduction or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation (including those announced or published prior to the date of this Agreement), or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive issued by any such authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued, or participated in, by any Issuer or Lender, or (ii) impose on any Issuer or Lender any other conditions affecting this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuer or Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuer or Lender hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit, then, to the extent not already included in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage or Adjusted LIBO Rate, within 15 Business Days of the receipt of the notice referred to below (which notice shall be given by the respective Issuer or Lender promptly after it determines such increased cost or reduction is applicable to Letters of Credit or its participation therein) to the Borrower by the respective Issuer or Lender (a copy of which notice shall be sent by such Issuer or Lender to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Issuer or Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuer or Lender for such increased cost or reduction. A notice submitted to the Borrower by such Issuer or Lender, setting forth the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuer or Lender as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error.

SECTION IV.4. Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan) as a result of

(a any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise;

(b any Loans not being made or continued in accordance with the Borrowing Request of the Borrower therefor as a result of the conditions precedent to such Loans not being satisfied or as a result of the Borrower attempting to revoke such Borrowing Request; or

(c any failure by the Borrower to prepay a Loan on the date specified in a notice of prepayment,

then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall promptly (and, in any event, within 15 Business Days of receipt of such notice) pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

SECTION IV.5. Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or Issuer or any Person controlling such Lender or Issuer, and such Lender or Issuer determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitments or the Loans made by such Lender or (to the extent, if any, not covered by Section 4.3(b)) Letters of Credit issued or participated in by such Lender or Issuer is reduced to a level below that which such Lender, Issuer or such controlling Person (to the extent, if any, not covered by Section 4.3(b)) could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, to the extent not already included in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage or Adjusted LIBO Rate, in any such case upon notice from time to time by such Lender or Issuer to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to such Lender or Issuer additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Issuer or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of such Lender or Issuer as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, such Lender or Issuer may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

SECTION IV.6. Taxes. All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under all other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, levies, imposts, duties or withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to any such charge) imposed by any Governmental Authority, but excluding franchise taxes, taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s net income or receipts or similar taxes (such non-excluded items, solely for purposes of this Section, being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority (whether such law, rule, regulation or interpretation is in effect at the Effective Date or is enacted or implemented at any time thereafter), then the Borrower will

(i pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount (as increased pursuant to clause (iii) below) required to be so withheld or deducted (except to the extent that the relevant Governmental Authority has no claim on the Agent or any Lender for such amount and the relevant Borrower is contesting the payment of such tax in good faith);

(ii promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender (after withholding or deduction for or on account of all Taxes) will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent, any Lender or any Issuer with respect to any payment received by the Agent, such Lender or such Issuer hereunder, the Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had not such Taxes been asserted. Notwithstanding the above, if any Lender is not entitled to receive principal, interest and fees under this Agreement from the Borrowers without withholding of United Kingdom income tax or Luxembourg income tax by reason of such Lender’s inability (other than due to a change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority, in each case arising after the Effective Date) to make the representations set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of the penultimate paragraph of this Section on the applicable dates referred to therein, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts that it would otherwise be required to pay pursuant to this Section in respect of such withholding.

If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders and the Issuer, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders and the Issuer for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender or the Issuer to or for the account of any Lender or the Issuer shall be deemed a payment by the applicable Borrower.

(x) in the case of a Lender which is a Lender on the Effective Date, on the Effective Date,

(y) in the case of a Lender which becomes a Lender after the Effective Date, on the date it becomes a Lender, and

(z) in each case, solely with respect to clause (a) below, on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the last day of each Interest Period for any Loans,

(a) either (i) a bank beneficially entitled to interest in respect of such Loans and within the charge to corporation tax in respect of such interest for the purposes of Section 349(3)(a) of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act off 1988 of the United Kingdom; or (ii) a bank lending through any other branch, Affiliate or agency if, at the time the bank becomes a party, the bank or affiliate (as the case may be) (A) is a resident in a country with which the United Kingdom has an appropriate double taxation treaty pursuant to which that bank or Affiliate (as the case may be) is entitled to receive principal, interest and fees under this Agreement from the Borrowers without withholding of United Kingdom income tax (and such bank or affiliate (as the case may be) has effectively claimed the benefit of such treaty in respect of this Agreement so that the Borrowers are not requested to make any such withholding) or (B) is otherwise entitled to receive principal, interest and fees without such withholding, and shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Agent if either representation ceases to be correct; and

(b) resident in a country with which Luxembourg has an appropriate double taxation treaty pursuant to which that Lender is (i) entitled to receive principal, interest and fees under this Agreement from the Borrower without withholding of Luxembourg income tax (and such Lender has effectively claimed the benefit of such treaty in respect of this Agreement so that the Borrower is not requested to make any such withholding), or (ii) is otherwise entitled to receive principal, interest and fees without such withholding, and shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Agent if either representation ceases to be correct.

Each Lender will use reasonable efforts to apply for, and reimburse to, the Borrower any tax credit which it receives as a result of the payment by the Borrower of any Taxes.

(a) The dollar is the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from the Borrower hereunder, provided, however that:

(i) each repayment of a Loan or a part thereof shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated at the time of that repayment;

(ii) each payment (including, without limitation, any fees relating thereto) in respect of a Letter of Credit shall be made in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated;

(iii) each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which the sum in respect of which such interest is payable is denominated;

(iv) each payment in respect of costs and expenses shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred;

(v) each payment pursuant to Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 shall be made in the currency specified by the party claiming thereunder; and

(vi) any amount expressed to be payable in a currency other than dollars shall be paid in that other currency.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by the Borrower pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement, the Notes, each Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document shall be made by the Borrower to the Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment. All such payments required to be made to the Agent shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 12:00 noon (London, England time), on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds,

to such account as the Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. The Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments received by the Agent for the account of such Lender. All interest and fees (including any post-default rate interest payments made pursuant to Section 3.2.2) shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days except with respect to Loans denominated in Sterling which shall accrue interest computed on the basis of 365 days; provided, however, that to the extent the current market practice is to compute interest and/or fees in respect of any Optional Currency or any Loan denominated in any Optional Currency in a manner other than as set forth above, all interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of such market practice, as certified to the Borrower by the Agent. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (c) of the definition of the term “Interest Period”) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment. The Agent is authorized to charge any account maintained by the Borrower with it for any Obligations owing to it or any of the Lenders.

SECTION IV.8. Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments pursuant to Section 4.7, then or therewith obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in Credit Extensions made by them (without recourse, representation or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (b) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

SECTION IV.9. Setoff. Each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and with the consent of the Required Lenders, to the extent permitted under applicable law, appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) the Borrower hereby grants to each Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; provided, however, that (a) any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 (each Lender agreeing promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender) and (b) no Lender may setoff against or apply any such balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower to any Obligations other than the Obligations of the Borrower; but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application). The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have. Each Lender shall, subject to the requirements of this Section, be permitted to appropriate and apply any moneys in any currency (the “First Currency”) to Obligations denominated in any other currency (the “Second Currency”) by calculating the relevant equivalent determined by using the quoted spot rate at which Scotiabank’s principal office in New York, New York, offers to exchange the Second Currency for such First Currency in New York, New York, at the open of business on such date.

SECTION IV.10. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use each Letter of Credit and the proceeds of each Loan in accordance with the fourth recital; without limiting the foregoing, no Letter of Credit will be used to acquire

any equity security of a class which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any “margin stock”, as defined in F.R.S. Board Regulation U.

SECTION IV.11. Substitution of LIBOR Office in Certain Circumstances. If any Lender would otherwise (a) have its obligation to make, continue or maintain Loans suspended pursuant to Section 4.1 or (b) be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3, 4.5 or 4.6, such Lender shall designate a different LIBOR Office if such designation will avoid the need for such suspension or eliminate or reduce the amounts of such additional amounts and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION IV.12. Substitution of Lender; Election to Terminate. If (a) the obligation of any Lender to make, continue or maintain Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 4.1 or (b) any Lender has demanded to be paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3, 4.5 or 4.6, the Borrower shall have the right, with the assistance of the Agent, to seek one or more financial institutions (a “Substitute Lender”), which may be one or more of the Lenders, to purchase the Notes and assume the Commitments of such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and if the Borrower locates a Substitute Lender, the Affected Lender shall, upon (i) payment to it of the purchase price agreed between it and the Substitute Lender (or, failing such agreement, a purchase price in the amount of the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereunder to the date of payment) plus any amount (other than principal and interest) then due to it or accrued for its account hereunder, (ii) the written consent of each Issuer (which consent shall be based on such Issuer’s reasonable determination of the ability of such Substitute Lender to meet the financial obligations of a Lender hereunder) and (iii) payment by the Borrower to the Affected Lender and the Agent of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such assignment and assumption, assign all its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (including its Commitments and its Loans) to the Substitute Lender, and the Substitute Lender shall assume such rights and obligations, whereupon the Substitute Lender shall become a party hereto and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

SECTION IV.13. Judgment Currency. If any sum due from the Borrower under this Agreement or any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto has to be converted from the currency (the “first currency”) in which the same is payable hereunder or under such order or judgment into another currency (the “second currency”) for the purpose of (a) making or filing a claim or proof against the Borrower, (b) obtaining an order or judgment in any court or other tribunal or (c) enforcing any order or judgment given or made in relation hereto, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the persons to whom such sum is due from and against any loss suffered as a result of any discrepancy between (i) the rate of exchange used for such purpose to convert the sum in question from the first currency into the second currency and (ii) the rate or rates of exchange at which such person may in the ordinary course of business purchase the first currency with the second currency upon receipt of a sum paid to it in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of any such order, judgment, claim or proof.

SECTION V.1. Initial Credit Extension. The obligations of the Lenders to make the initial Credit Extension hereunder shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Schedule V hereto on the Effective Date.

SECTION V.2. All Credit Extensions. The obligation of each Lender to make any Credit Extension (including the initial Credit Extension) shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 5.2.

SECTION V.2.1.

Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Agent and the Security Trustee, pro rata according to such Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Agent or the Security Trustee in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and as to which the Agent or Security Trustee is not reimbursed by the Borrower; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted solely from the Agent’s or the Security Trustee’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of the Agent or the Security Trustee shall be or become, in the Agent’s or the Security Trustee’s determination, inadequate, the Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

SECTION IX.2. Exculpation. None of the Agent, the Security Trustee and their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own wilful misconduct or gross negligence, nor responsible for any recitals or warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral security, or to make any inquiry respecting the performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Any such inquiry which may be made by the Agent or the Security Trustee shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action. The Agent and the Security Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which the Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, believes to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.

SECTION IX.3. Successor. Each of the Agent and the Security Trustee may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Borrower and all Lenders. If the Agent or the Security Trustee at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders may appoint another Lender as a successor Agent or Security Trustee which shall thereupon become the Agent or Security Trustee, as applicable, hereunder. If no successor Agent or Security Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s or Security Trustee’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent or Security Trustee, as applicable, may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent or Security Trustee, as applicable, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the U.S. (or any

State thereof) or Canada or a U.S. or Canadian branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent or Security Trustee hereunder by a successor Agent or Security Trustee, such successor Agent or Security Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the retiring Agent or Security Trustee, as applicable, such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Agent or Security Trustee may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent or Security Trustee, and the retiring Agent or Security Trustee shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s or Security Trustee’s resignation hereunder as the Agent or Security Trustee, the provisions of:

(a) this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent or Security Trustee, as applicable, under this Agreement; and

SECTION IX.4. Extensions of Credit by Scotiabank. Scotiabank and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers with respect to its Loans, its Notes and its participating interests in the Letters of Credit as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not the Agent or Security Trustee. Scotiabank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Group Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Group Company as if Scotiabank were not the Agent or Security Trustee hereunder.

SECTION IX.5. Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of the Agent, the Security Trustee and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of the Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitments. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Agent, the Security Trustee and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION IX.6. Copies, etc. The Agent and the Security Trustee shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to the Agent or the Security Trustee by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrower). Each of the Agent and the Security Trustee will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, from the Borrower for distribution to the Lenders by the Agent or the Security Trustee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION IX.7. Funding Reliance, etc. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 5:00 p.m., London time, on the day prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Percentage of such Borrowing on the date specified therefor, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Agent made such amount available to the Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing.

SECTION IX.8. Agent’s and Security Trustee’s Discretions. Each of the Agent and the Security Trustee may:

(a) assume, unless it has, in its capacity as agent for the Lenders, received notice to the contrary from any other party hereto, that (i) any representation made by the Borrower or any other Group Company in connection herewith is true, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred, (iii) the Borrower is not in

breach or default of its obligations hereunder and (iv) any right, power, authority or discretion vested herein upon the Lenders or any other person or group of persons has not been exercised;

(c) engage and pay for the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, surveyors or other experts whose advice or services may to it (in its reasonable opinion) seem necessary, expedient or desirable and rely upon any advice so obtained;

(d) rely as to any matters of fact which might reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of the Borrower or any other Group Company upon a certificate signed by or on behalf of the Borrower or such other Group Company;

(f) refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion vested in it as agent hereunder unless and until instructed by an the Required Lenders as to whether or not such right, power or discretion is to be exercised and, if it is to be exercised, as to the manner in which it should be exercised; and

(g) refrain from acting in accordance with any instructions of the Required Lenders to begin any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement until it shall have received such security as it may require (whether by way of payment in advance or otherwise) for all costs, claims, losses, expenses (including legal fees) and liabilities together with any VAT thereon which it will or may expend or incur in complying with such instructions;

provided, however, that for avoidance of doubt nothing in this Section shall be construed to alter the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or to impose any obligations on the Borrower that are not already imposed on the Borrower elsewhere in this Agreement.

(a) promptly inform each Beneficiary of the contents of any notice or document received by it in its capacity as Agent from the Borrower hereunder;

(b) promptly notify each Lender of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any default by the Borrower in the due performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Agreement of which the Agent has notice from any other party hereto;

(c) save as otherwise provided herein, act as agent hereunder in accordance with any instructions given to it by the Required Lenders, which instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders; and

(d) if so instructed by the Required Lenders, refrain from exercising any right, power or discretion vested in it as agent hereunder.

SECTION IX.10. Excluded Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein, none of the Agent, the Security Trustee and the Lenders shall:

(a) be bound to inquire as to (i) whether or not any representation made by the Borrower or any other Group Company in connection herewith is true, (ii) the occurrence or otherwise of any Default or Event of Default, (iii) the performance by the Borrower or any other Group Company of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (iv) any breach of or default by the Borrower or any other Group Company of or under its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(b) be bound to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account;

(e) be under any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein.

SECTION IX.11. Exclusion of Liabilities. Neither the Agent nor the Security Trustee accepts responsibility for the accuracy and/or completeness of any information supplied by the Borrower in connection herewith or for the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and neither the Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be under any liability as a result of taking or omitting to take any action in relation to this Agreement, save in the case of gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

SECTION IX.12. No Actions. Each of the Lenders agrees that it will not assert or seek to assert against any director, officer or employee of the Agent or the Security Trustee any claim it might have against it in respect of the matters referred to in Section 9.11.

SECTION IX.13. Agency Division Separate. In acting as Agent hereunder for the Lenders, the Agent shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate entity from any other of its divisions or departments and, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.13, any information received by some other division or department of the Agent may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to the Agent’s agency division.

SECTION IX.14. Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied herein and without prejudice to the provisions of Section 9.13, neither the Agent nor the Security Trustee shall as between itself and the Lenders be bound to disclose to any Lender or other person any information which is supplied by any Group Company to the Agent or the Security Trustee, as applicable, in its capacity as agent hereunder for the Lenders and which is identified by such Group Company at the time it is so supplied as being confidential information, provided that the consent of the relevant Group Company to such disclosure shall not be required in relation to any information which in the reasonable opinion of the Agent or the Security Trustee relates to a Default or Event of Default.

SECTION IX.15. Authorization to Execute Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby specifically authorizes the Agent and the Security Trustee to take all actions contemplated to be taken by the Agent and the Security Trustee, respectively, hereunder and otherwise contemplated to be taken by, or on behalf of, the Lenders including, without limitation, the execution of certain documents hereunder contemplated to be executed by the Agent and the Security Trustee.

SECTION IX.16. Declaration of trust. The Security Trustee hereby accepts its appointment under Section 9.1 as trustee of all of the property and assets in which the Agent and the Lenders are granted a security interest, as collateral security for the Obligations (the “Trust Property”) with effect from the date of this Agreement to hold the same in trust for itself, the Agent and the Lenders (collectively, the “Finance Parties”). The Security Trustee shall apply the same as soon as is practicable after the relevant moneys are received by, or otherwise become available to, the Security Trustee save that (without prejudice to any other provision contained in any of the Loan Documents) the Security Trustee (acting on the instructions of the Agent) or any receiver may credit any moneys received by it to a suspense account for so long and in such manner as the Security Trustee or such receiver may from time to time determine with a view to preserving the rights of the Finance Parties or any of them to prove for the whole of their respective claims against the Borrower or any other person liable.

SECTION IX.17. Perpetuities. The trusts constituted or evidenced in or by the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect until whichever is the earlier of:

(b) receipt by the Security Trustee, at any time when it is satisfied that all of the Group Companies are solvent, of confirmation in writing from each of the Finance Parties that there is no longer outstanding any Indebtedness (actual or contingent (unless such Indebtedness, being contingent, is fully cash collateralized to the satisfaction of the relevant Finance Party)), and no obligation on any Finance Party to make available any Indebtedness, which is secured or guaranteed by or under any of the Loan Documents or such later date on which all of the Loan Documents have been released in accordance with their terms,

and the parties to this Agreement declare that the perpetuity period applicable to the Loan Documents shall for the purposes of the Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 1964 be the period of 80 years from the date of this Agreement.

SECTION IX.18. Powers and duties of the Security Trustee as trustee of the security. In its capacity as trustee in relation to the Loan Documents, the Security Trustee:

(a) Powers generally: shall, without prejudice to any of the powers, discretions and immunities conferred upon trustees by law (and to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents), have all the same powers and discretions as a natural person acting as the beneficial owner of such property and/or as are conferred upon the Security Trustee by this Agreement and/or any Loan Document but so that the Security Trustee may only exercise such powers and discretions to the extent that it is authorized to do so by the provisions of this Agreement;

(b) Power to invest: shall (subject to Section 9.16) be entitled (in its own name or in the names of nominees) to invest moneys from time to time forming part of the Trust Property or otherwise held by it as a consequence of any enforcement of the security constituted by the Loan Documents which, in the reasonable opinion of the Security Trustee, it would not be practicable to distribute immediately by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Security Trustee as the Security Trustee may think fit without being under any duty to diversify the same and the Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss due to interest rate or exchange rate fluctuations except for any loss arising from the Security Trustee’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct;

(c) Power to engage agents: may, in the conduct of its obligations under and in respect of the Loan Documents (otherwise than in relation to its right to make any declaration, determination or decision), instead of acting personally, employ and pay any agent (whether being a lawyer, chartered accountant or any other person) to transact or concur in transacting any business and to do or concur in doing any acts required to be done by the Security Trustee (including the receipt and payment of money) and on the basis that (i) any such agent engaged in any profession or business shall be entitled to be paid all usual professional and other charges for business transacted and acts done by him or any partner or employee of his in connection with such employment and (ii) the Security Trustee shall not be bound to supervise, or be responsible for any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission of, any such agent if the Security Trustee shall have exercised reasonable care in the selection of such agent; and

(d) Deposit of documents: may place all deeds, certificates and other documents relating to the property and assets subject to the Loan Documents which are from time to time deposited with it pursuant to the Loan Documents in any safe deposit, safe or receptacle selected by the Security Trustee exercising reasonable care or with any firm of solicitors selected by the Security Trustee exercising reasonable care and may make any such arrangements as it thinks fit for allowing the Parent access to, or its solicitors or auditors possession of, such documents when necessary or convenient and the Security Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss incurred in connection with any such deposit, access or possession if it has exercised reasonable care in the selection of a safe deposit, safe, receptacle or firm or solicitors.

SECTION IX.19. All enforcement action through the Security Trustee. None of the other Finance Parties shall have any independent power to enforce any of the Loan Documents or to exercise any rights, discretions or powers or to grant any consents or releases under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or otherwise have direct

recourse to the security and/or guarantees constituted by any of the Loan Documents except through the Security Trustee.

SECTION IX.20. Co-operation to achieve agreed priorities of application. The other Finance Parties shall co-operate with each other and with the Security Trustee and any receiver under the Loan Documents in realizing the property and assets subject to the Loan Documents and in ensuring that the net proceeds realized under the Loan Documents after deduction of the expenses of realization are applied in accordance with Section 4.7.

SECTION IX.21. Indemnity from Trust Property. In respect of all liabilities, costs, claims, charges or expenses for which the Borrower is liable under this Agreement, the Security Trustee and every employee, officer, agent or other person appointed by it in connection with its appointment under the Loan Document (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be entitled to be indemnified out of the Trust Property in respect of all liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses whatsoever properly incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Person:

(a) in the execution or exercise or bona fide purported execution or exercise of the trusts, rights, powers, authorities, discretions and duties created or conferred by or pursuant to the Loan Documents;

(b) as a result of any breach by any Group Company of any of its obligations under any Loan Document;

(c) in respect of any environmental claim made or asserted against an Indemnified Person which would not have arisen if the Loan Documents had not been executed; and

(d) in respect of any matter or thing done or omitted in any way in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents relating to the Trust Property or the provisions of any of the Loan Documents.

The rights conferred by this Section 9.21 are without prejudice to any right to indemnity by law given to trustees generally and to any provision of the Loan Documents entitling the Security Trustee or any other person to an indemnity in respect of, and/or reimbursement of, any liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses incurred or suffered by it in connection with any of the Loan Documents or the performance of any duties under any of the Loan Documents. Nothing contained in this Section 9.21 shall entitle the Security Trustee or any other person to be indemnified in respect of any liabilities, damages, costs, claims, charges or expenses to the extent that the same arise from such person’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

SECTION IX.22. Finance Parties to provide information. The Finance Parties shall provide the Security Trustee with such written information as it may reasonably require for the purposes of carrying out its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in particular, with such necessary directions in writing so as to enable the Security Trustee to make the calculations and applications contemplated by Section 9.26 and to apply amounts received under, and the proceeds or realization of, the Loan Documents on and after the occurrence of any Event of Default as contemplated by the Loan Documents and Section 9.26.

SECTION IX.23. Common Parties. Notwithstanding that the Agent and the Security Trustee may from time to time be the same entity, the Agent and the Security Trustee have entered into this Agreement in their separate capacities as agent or (as appropriate) security agent and trustee for the Finance Parties provided that, where this Agreement provides for the Agent or Security Trustee to communicate with or provide instructions to another Agent or Security Trustee, while the two parties in question are the same entity, it will not be necessary for there to be any such formal communication or instructions notwithstanding that this Agreement provides in certain cases for the same to be in writing.

(a) The Agent and Security Trustee may refrain from doing anything which might, in its opinion, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or be otherwise actionable at the suit if any person, and may do anything which, in its opinion, is necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation of any jurisdiction.

(b) (i) Without limiting Section 9.24(a), the Agent and Security Trustee need not disclose any information relating to any Group Company if the disclosure might, in the opinion of the Agent or, as the case may be, Security Trustee, constitute a breach of any law or regulation or any duty of secrecy or confidentiality or be otherwise actionable at the suit of any person.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in this Agreement and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor the Security Trustee shall, as between itself and the Lenders, be obliged to disclose to any Lender or other person any information supplied by any Group Company to it which is identified by such Group Company, as the case may be, at the time of supply as being confidential and supplied solely for the purpose of evaluating in consultation with the Agent or the Security Trustee whether any waiver or amendment might be required to any of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents provided that nothing in this Section 9.24(b)(ii) shall apply to any information supplied by any Obligor pursuant to Section 7.1.1.

(iii) Subject to paragraph (ii) above, for the purposes of this Agreement, neither the Agent nor the Security Trustee shall be deemed to have any actual knowledge or actual notice of the contents of any information obtained by it or supplied to it by or on behalf of any Group Company other than the contents of information obtained by it or supplied to it by or on behalf of such Group Company as Agent or, as the case may be, Security Trustee for the Lenders under this Agreement.

(a) Each Finance Party and Group Company agrees that the Security Trustee shall be the joint creditor (together with the relevant other Finance Parties) of each and every payment obligation of each Group Company and each Group Company towards each of the Finance Parties under the Loan Documents and that accordingly the Security Trustee will have its own independent right to demand payment by each Group Company in satisfaction of those obligations, provided that it is expressly acknowledged that discharge of any payment obligation to either of the Security Trustee or the relevant other Finance Parties shall to the same extent discharge obligation owing to the other.

(b) Without limiting or affecting the Security Trustee’s right against each Group Company (whether under this Section 9.25 or under any other provisions of the Loan Documents) the Security Trustee agrees with each other Finance Party (on a several and divided basis) that it will not exercise its rights as joint creditor with another Finance Party except with the prior written consent of the relevant Finance Party. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit the Security Trustee’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under or to enforce any Loan Document as contemplated by this Agreement and the relevant Loan Document. Any amount recovered by the Security Trustee as a result of the operation of this Section 9.25 shall be held for the benefit of each Finance Party to be applied in accordance with Section 9.16.

(a) As at the date of any Event of Default, the Security Trustee shall determine (i) the total amount owing to the Lenders in respect of the Obligations (including principal, accrued interest and commitment commission) and (ii) the total amount of Hedging Obligations (including amounts which have fallen due under Rate Protection Agreements and are underpaid and any mark to market exposure calculated in accordance with the terms of the Rate Protection Agreements), which totals will form the basis for pro rata distribution pursuant to Section 9.26(b).

(b)Moneys received by the Security Trustee after the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to the exercise of (or otherwise by virtue of the existence of) any rights and powers under or pursuant to any of the Loan Documents shall be applied by the Security Trustee (after providing for all costs, charges, expenses and liabilities and other payments ranking in priority to the Indebtedness and liabilities secured by and/or covenanted to be paid in the Loan Documents and for the costs, charges, expenses and liabilities incurred and payments made by the Security Trustee) in or towards, on a pro rata basis, payment of amounts due under this Agreement and the Hedging Obligations. Amounts to be applied towards amounts

due under this Agreement shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.7. Amounts to be applied towards the Hedging Obligations shall be paid by the Security Trustee to each counterparty to a Rate Protection Agreement, on a pro rata basis, depending upon their respective share of the total Hedging Obligations. The Security Trustee shall make each such application and/or distribution as soon as is practicable after the relevant moneys are received by, or otherwise become available to, the Security Trustee except that (without prejudice to any other provision contained in any of the Loan Documents) the Security Trustee (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) may credit any moneys received by it to a suspense account for so long and in such manner as the Security Trustee may from time to time determine with a view to preserving the rights of the Finance Parties or any of them to prove for the whole of their respective claims against the Group Companies, or any other person liable.

SECTION X.1. Waivers, Amendments, etc. The provisions of this Agreement and of each other Loan Document may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and consented to by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification or waiver which would:

(a) modify any requirement hereunder that any particular action be taken by all the Lenders or by the Required Lenders shall be effective unless consented to by each Lender;

(b) modify this Section 10.1, change the definition of “Required Lenders”, increase any Commitment Amount or the Percentage of any Lender, reduce any fees described in Article III, release or subordinate any collateral security, except as otherwise specifically provided in any Loan Document, or extend any Commitment Termination Date without the consent of each Lender and each holder of a Note;

(c) extend the due date for, or reduce the amount of, any scheduled repayment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan (or reduce the principal amount of or rate of interest on any Loan) shall be made without the consent of the holder of that Note evidencing such Loan;

(d) affect adversely the interests, rights or obligations of any Issuer qua an Issuer shall be made without the consent of such Issuer; or

(e) affect adversely the interests, rights or obligations of the Agent qua the Agent shall be made without consent of the Agent.

No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval hereunder shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval thereafter to be granted hereunder.

SECTION X.2. Notices. All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by Telex or by facsimile and addressed, delivered or transmitted to such party at its address, Telex or facsimile number set forth below its signature hereto or set forth in the Transfer Certificate or at such other address, Telex or facsimile number as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties. Any notice, if mailed and properly addressed with postage prepaid or if properly addressed and sent by pre-paid courier service, shall be deemed given when received; any notice, if transmitted by Telex or facsimile, shall be deemed given when transmitted (answer back confirmed in the case of Telexes).

SECTION X.3. Payment of Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable expenses of the Agent (including the fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to the Agent and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by counsel to the Agent) in connection with:

(a) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and of each other Loan Document, including schedules and exhibits, and any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as may from time to time hereafter be required, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, and

(b) the filing, recording, refiling or rerecording of any Loan Document and/or any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements relating thereto and all amendments, supplements and modifications to any thereof and any and all other documents or instruments of further assurance required to be filed or recorded or refiled or rerecorded by the terms hereof or of any Loan Document, and

(c) the preparation and review of the form of any document or instrument relevant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Subject to the provisions of Section 4.6, the Borrower further agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and the Lenders harmless from all liability for, any stamp or other taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the making of Borrowings or other Credit Extensions hereunder, or any other Loan Documents. The Borrower also agrees to reimburse the Agent and each Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Agent or such Lender in connection with (a) the negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out”, whether or not consummated, of any Obligations and (b) the enforcement of any Obligations.

(a) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the use of any Credit Extension or any proceeds thereof;

(b) the entering into and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Document by any of the Indemnified Parties (including any action brought by or on behalf of the Borrower as the result of any determination by the Required Lenders pursuant to Article V not to make any Credit Extension);

(c) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any acquisition or proposed acquisition by Group Company of all or any portion of the stock or assets of any Person, whether or not the Agent or such Lender is party thereto;

except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a particular Indemnified Party by reason of the relevant Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or wilful misconduct. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

SECTION X.5. Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 10.3 and 10.4 and under the Commitment Letter, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 9.1, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement, the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of the Commitments. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement and in each other Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each such other Loan Document.

(d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender, or is itself a Lender, shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may agree with any Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in clause (b) or (c) of Section 10.1, and

(e) the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount under Section 4.2 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold.

The Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said courts by the mailing thereof by the Agent or any Lender by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address set forth beneath its signature hereto. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Agent or any Lender to serve any such writs, process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the Borrower in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by applicable law.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2000 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Carlisle Finance S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Borrower”), the various financial institutions as are, or may from time to time become, parties thereto (each, individually, a “Lender”, and collectively, the “Lenders”) and the Agent, the Lenders have extended Commitments to make Credit Extensions to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, to enhance the credit rating of the Borrower and to permit the granting of the interest rate provisions in the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor is required to execute and deliver this Guaranty;

WHEREAS, each Guarantor has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty; and

WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of each Guarantor to execute this Guaranty inasmuch as each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Credit Extensions made from time to time to the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce the Lenders to make Credit Extensions (including the initial Credit Extension) to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor agrees, for the benefit of each Lender Party, as follows:

SECTION I.1 Certain Terms. When used in this Guaranty, the terms set forth form in the Definitions Annex attached hereto shall have the respective meanings set forth in said Annex (terms may be included in said Annex that are not used or referred to in this Guaranty). In addition, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings (such definitions to be equally applicable to the singular and plural forms thereof):

“Lender Party” means, as the context may require, any Lender or the Agent and each of its respective successors, transferees and assigns.

SECTION II.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally and irrevocably

(a) guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (including all such amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 502(b) and 506(b)), and

(b) indemnifies and holds harmless each Lender Party for any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Lender Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty;

provided, however, that each Guarantor shall be liable under this Guaranty for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and each Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that any Lender exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Borrower or any other Group Company (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION II.2 Acceleration of Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the dissolution (other than as permitted pursuant to Section 4.2.8) or insolvency of the Borrower, any other Group Company or any Guarantor, or the inability or failure of the Borrower, any other Group Company or any Guarantor to pay debts as they become due, or an assignment by the Borrower, any other Group Company any Guarantor for the benefit of creditors, or the commencement of any case or proceeding in respect of the Borrower, any other Group Company or any Guarantor under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Obligations of the Borrower and each other Group Company may not then be due and payable, each Guarantor agrees that it will pay to the Lenders forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such Guarantor if all such Obligations were then due and payable.

SECTION II.3 Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations of the Borrower have been paid in full, all obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall have been paid in full, and all Commitments shall have terminated. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations of the Borrower will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document under which they

arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender Party with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower, any other Group Company or any other Person under the provisions of the Credit Agreement any other Loan Document or otherwise, or

(ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Group Company;

(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Group Company, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligation of the Borrower or any other Group Company;

(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Group Company for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations of the Borrower, any other Group Company or otherwise;

(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, held by any Lender securing any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Group Company; or

(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower, any other Group Company, any surety or any guarantor.

SECTION II.4 Reinstatement, etc. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Group Company or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION II.5 Waiver, etc. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Group Company and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Agent or any other Lender Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower, any other Group Company or any other Person or entity or any collateral securing the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Group Company, as the case may be.

SECTION II.6 Subrogation, etc. Each Guarantor agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full in cash, of all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Group Company and the termination

of all Commitments. Any amount paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full in cash of all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Group Company shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties and shall immediately be paid to the Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties and credited and applied against the Obligations of the Borrower and each other Group Company, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that if

(a) any Guarantor has made payment to the Lender Parties of all or any part of the Obligations of the Borrower, and

(b) all Obligations of the Borrower have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or expired, and all Commitments have been permanently terminated,

each Lender Party agrees that, at such Guarantor’s request, the Agent, on behalf of the Lender Parties, will execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents (without recourse and without representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations of the Borrower resulting from such payment by such Guarantor. In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any Obligations or Commitments remain outstanding, each Guarantor shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the Borrower or any other Group Company (or its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in the respect of payments made under this Guaranty to any Lender.

(a) be binding upon each Guarantor, and its successors, transferees and assigns; and

(b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agent for the benefit of each Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), but subject to the limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 10.11 thereof), any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any Credit Extension held by it to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or entity shall thereupon become vested with all rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender under any Loan Document (including this Guaranty) or otherwise.

SECTION II.8 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, etc. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any and all payments made by such Guarantor hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 4.6 of the Credit Agreement.

(a) If, for the purposes of obtaining a judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in United States Dollars into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Lenders could purchase United States Dollars with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of such Guarantor in respect of any sum due from it to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase United States Dollars with such other currency; in the event that the United States Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Lender in United States Dollars, such Guarantor, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, hereby indemnifies and holds harmless such Lender against such loss, and if the United States Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to such Lender in United States Dollars, such Lender shall remit to such Guarantor such excess.

SECTION II.10. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 2.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 2.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Lender, the Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
