In the event that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes, guarantees, redeems, repays, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been replaced) subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the First Priority Debt Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of the First Priority Debt Leverage Ratio is made, then the First Priority Debt Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred immediately prior to the end of such most recent fiscal quarter end.

If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or discontinued operation that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the First Priority Debt Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, amalgamation, consolidation or discontinued operation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company or the Initial Borrower (and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, cost savings, synergies and operating expense reductions resulting from such Investment, acquisition, merger, amalgamation or consolidation which is being given pro forma effect that have been or are expected to be realized).

“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” shall mean with respect to any specified Person for any period, the ratio of the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of such Person for such period to the Fixed Charges of such Person for such period. In the event that the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, guarantees, repays, repurchases, redeems, defeases or otherwise discharges any Indebtedness (other than (i) ordinary working capital borrowings and (ii) in the case of revolving credit borrowings or revolving advances under any Qualified Receivables Financing, in which case interest expense will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period) or issues, repurchases or redeems preferred equity subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated and on or prior to the date on which the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, Guarantee, repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other discharge of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of preferred equity, and the use of the proceeds therefrom, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter reference period.

In addition, for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Asset Acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), and any related financing transactions, that the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has both determined to make and made after the Closing Date and during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Calculation Date shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Asset Acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and discontinued operations (and the change of any associated Fixed Charges and the change in Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period, including any pro forma expense and cost reductions and other operating improvements that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur, in the reasonable judgment of the chief financial officer of the Company (regardless of whether these cost savings or operating improvements could then be reflected in pro forma financial statements in accordance with Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act or any other regulation or policy of the SEC related thereto). Any Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at all times during such four-quarter period, and if, since the beginning of the four-quarter reference period, any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any of its other Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any acquisition, Investment, disposition, merger, consolidation or discontinued operation, in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be adjusted giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Asset Acquisition, disposition, discontinued operation, merger or consolidation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter reference period. Any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary on the Calculation Date will be deemed not to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at any time during such four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable determination of the Company as set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions reasonably expected to result from any acquisition or merger.

The Swingline Lender shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Swingline Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to the Swingline Lender hereunder, and (iii) any amount received by the Swingline Lender hereunder. The Swingline Lender shall periodically (and in any event promptly following request by the Administrative Agent or any Borrower) provide copies of or information regarding such accounts to the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.06. Revolving Letters of Credit. • General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may request the issuance of Revolving Letters of Credit (denominated in any currency in which the Issuing Bank is able to issue letters of credit) for its own account or on behalf of any other Loan Party in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. The parties hereto agree that the Existing Letters of Credit will automatically, without any further action on the part of any Person, be deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder issued hereunder on the Closing Date for the account of the Initial Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary. Without limiting the foregoing (i) each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of the Revolving L/C Exposure, (ii) all liabilities of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations under this Agreement and

(iii) each Lender shall have reimbursement obligations with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.06(e). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the applicable Borrower to, or entered into by the applicable Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Revolving Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(a) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal (other than an automatic renewal in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section) or extension of an outstanding Revolving Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (three (3) Business Days, in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit denominated in Euro, and otherwise two (2) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit, or identifying the Revolving Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Revolving Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the currency of such Revolving Letter of Credit, the amount of such Revolving Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Revolving Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Revolving Letter of Credit. A Revolving Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Revolving Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total Commitments and (ii) the aggregate available amount of all Revolving Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Revolving L/C Commitment.

(b) Expiration Date. • Each Revolving Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (A) the date one (1) year after the date of the issuance of such Revolving Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any Revolving Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which, in no event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (B) of this paragraph (c)).

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Borrower may request the issuance of one or more Revolving Letters of Credit that expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that the Revolving L/C Exposure in respect of Revolving Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(ii) shall not exceed U.S.$10.0 million.

(c) Participations. By the issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Revolving Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Facility Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Facility Lender, and each Revolving Facility Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Revolving Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Revolving Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (w) in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit denominated in any currency other than Canadian Dollars, Euro or Sterling, in U.S. Dollars, (x) in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, in Canadian Dollars, (y) in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit denominated in Euro, in Euro and (z) in the case of Revolving Letters of Credit denominated in Sterling, in Sterling, in each case, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Facility Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of each Revolving L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Revolving Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Revolving Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(d) Reimbursement. If the applicable Issuing Bank shall make any Revolving L/C Disbursement in respect of a Revolving Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Revolving L/C Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Revolving L/C Disbursement in the currency in which such Revolving Letter of Credit was issued (or, if the Issuing Bank so agrees, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof), not later than 3:00 p.m., London time, on the fourth Business Day following the date such Borrower receives notice under paragraph (g) of this Section of such Revolving L/C Disbursement; provided that such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.05, as applicable, that such payment be financed with a Revolving Facility Borrowing or a Swingline Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, in each case to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Loan or Borrowing, as applicable; provided that in the case of any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, such request must be made three Business Days prior to such refinancing in accordance with Section 2.03 or two Business Days prior to such refinancing in accordance with Section 2.05. If the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse any Revolving L/C Disbursement when due, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Facility Lender of the applicable Revolving L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower (and, if such payment is due in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Sterling or Euro, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent thereof) and, in the case of a Revolving Facility Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Facility Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euro or Sterling, as

applicable, its Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.08 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.08 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Facility Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euro or Sterling, as applicable, the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Facility Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Facility Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any Revolving L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of a LIBOR Loan, a EURIBOR Loan or a Swingline Borrowing as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Revolving L/C Disbursement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of a Borrower to reimburse Revolving L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Revolving Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Revolving Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Revolving Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Revolving Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the applicable Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided that, in each case, payment by the Issuing Bank shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Revolving Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Revolving Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the applicable Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are determined by a court having jurisdiction to have been caused by (A) such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise reasonable care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Revolving Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (B) such Issuing Bank’s refusal to issue a Revolving Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in each such determination and each refusal to issue a Revolving

Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Revolving Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Revolving Letter of Credit.

(f) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Revolving Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make a Revolving L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Facility Lenders with respect to any such Revolving L/C Disbursement.

(g) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any Revolving L/C Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Revolving L/C Disbursement in full on the date such Revolving L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such Revolving L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such Revolving L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum equal to (x) if the Revolving L/C Disbursement relates to a Revolving Letter of Credit that was issued in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars or Sterling, the rate per annum then applicable to LIBOR Loans having an Interest Period of one month or (y) if the Revolving L/C Disbursement relates to a Revolving Letter of Credit that was issued in Euro, the rate per annum then applicable to EURIBOR Loans having an Interest Period of one month; provided that, if such Revolving L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by such Borrower when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.15(e) shall apply; provided further that any Revolving L/C Disbursement that is reimbursed after the date such Revolving L/C Disbursement is required to be reimbursed under paragraph (e) of this Section, shall (i) be payable in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euro or Sterling, as applicable, (ii) bear interest at the rate per annum specified in (x) or (y) above, as applicable, and (iii) Section 2.15(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Facility Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Facility Lender to the extent of such payment.

(h) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any

previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but shall not be required to issue additional Revolving Letters of Credit.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(i) or Section 7.01(j), on the Business Day or (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, in each case, following the date on which the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, each Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Issuing Bank (or an account in the name of the Issuing Bank with another institution designated by the Issuing Bank), in the name of the Issuing Bank and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the Revolving L/C Exposure in respect of such Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to a Borrower described in clause (i) or (j) of Section 7.01, the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable in U.S. Dollars, without demand or other notice of any kind. A Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.13(b). Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.13(b) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower making such deposit under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of (A) for so long as an Event of Default shall be continuing, the Administrative Agent and (B) at any other time, the applicable Borrower, in each case, in term deposits constituting Permitted Investments and at the risk and expense of such Borrower, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for Revolving L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the Revolving L/C Reimbursement Obligations of the applicable Borrower for the Revolving L/C Exposure in respect of such Borrower at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans to such Borrower has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Facility Lenders with Revolving L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.13(b), such amount together with interest thereon (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, such Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.13(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(j) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Company may by notice to the Administrative Agent designate up to four Lenders that agree (in their sole discretion) to act in such capacity and are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as Issuing Banks. Each such additional Issuing Bank shall execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all purposes.

(k) Reporting. Each Issuing Bank shall (i) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.06(b) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof, (ii) provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of the Revolving Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal or extension of the Revolving Letter of Credit, as applicable, on the Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Revolving Letter of Credit, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any Revolving L/C Disbursement, advise the Administrative Agent of the date of such Revolving L/C Disbursement and the amount of such Revolving L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, furnish the Administrative Agent with such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. If requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide copies to such Lender of the documents referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence.

Section 2.07. [Reserved].

Section 2.08. Funding of Borrowings. • Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it to the applicable Borrower hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the time specified by the Administrative Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment. Payment shall be made to such account in the principal financial centre of the country of that currency (or, in relation to Euro, in London) with such bank as the Administrative Agent specifies. Swingline Loans shall not be governed by this Section but shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to such account of such Borrower as is designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request; provided that (i) Loans (other than Swingline Loans) made to finance the reimbursement of a Revolving L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) Swingline Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a Revolving L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Swingline Lender to the applicable Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank shall promptly confirm receipt to the Administrative Agent.

(a) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without

duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrower, (x) in the case of Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars or Sterling, the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Loans denominated in the relevant currency or (y) in the case of Loans denominated in Euro, the interest rate applicable to the EURIBOR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.09. Interest Elections. • Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, each Borrower may elect, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing, Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Each Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may be converted or continued in accordance with Section 2.05(d).

(a) To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing (by hand delivery or telecopy) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and signed by such Borrower.

(b) Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; and

(iii) the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election.

If any such Interest Election Request made by a Borrower does not specify an Interest Period, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender to which such Interest Election Request relates of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(d) If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to one of its LIBOR Borrowings or EURIBOR Borrowings prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a period of one month’s duration.

Section 2.10. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. • Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(a) Each Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments under any Facility; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of U.S.$500,000 and not less than U.S.$2.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Commitments), and (ii) no Borrower shall terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Facility Loans by one or more Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.13, the Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total Commitments.

(b) A Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by a Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by such Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by such Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Facility.

Section 2.11. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. • Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Facility Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Facility Loan to such Borrower on the Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower in accordance with Section 2.05.

(a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders (i) on the relevant maturity date for any tranche or series of Term Loans, all then outstanding Term Loans of such tranche or series, (ii) on the relevant maturity date for any tranche of Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, all then outstanding Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Loans, (iii) on the relevant maturity date for any Extension Series of Extended Term Loans, all then

outstanding Extended Term Loans of such Extension Series and (iv) on the relevant maturity date for any Extension Series of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, all then outstanding Extended Revolving Credit Loans of such Extension Series.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) any amount received by such Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Loans made to such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to a Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit G. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including, to the extent requested by any assignee, after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.12. Repayment of Loans. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowing (other than Swingline Borrowings), the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telecopy of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility, shall be applied to the Revolving Facility Loans to such Borrower included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Revolving Facility Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment (based upon the respective Revolving Facility Credit Exposures of the Revolving Facility Lenders at the time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans to such Borrower included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments or prepayments of Borrowings (other than Swingline Borrowings) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid or prepaid.

Section 2.13. Prepayment of Loans. • Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Borrowings by such Borrower in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.18), in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum or, if less, the amount outstanding, subject to prior notice in the form of Exhibit B hereto provided in accordance with Section 2.12.

(a) If on any date, the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that on the last day of any month, the sum of aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Facility Loans plus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Letters of Credit then outstanding has exceeded 105% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date, the Borrowers shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within two Business Days following such date, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Facility Loans owing by the Borrowers such that the aggregate amount so prepaid by such Borrower and cash collateral deposited in an account with the Administrative Agent (or an account in the name of the Administrative Agent with another institution designated by the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 2.06(j)) shall be sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Facility Loans prepaid. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.13(b) to the Company and the Lenders.

(b) The Company shall ensure that all Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale which the Company has elected to apply in prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 6.03(b)(i)(A) are applied in prepayment of outstanding Loans (other than Swingline Loans), in whatever order the Company may elect (subject to following the procedure described in Section 2.12).

(c) The Company shall ensure that 100% of the cash proceeds from the incurrence, issuance or sale by a Borrower or any Loan Party of any Indebtedness (other than Excluded Indebtedness), net of all taxes and fees (including investment banking fees), commissions, costs and other expenses, in each case incurred in connection with such issuance or sale are applied in prepayment of outstanding Loans (other than Swingline Loans), in whatever order the Company may elect (subject to following the procedure described in Section 2.12), within 6 Business Days of receipt.

(d) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.13(d) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The relevant Borrowers shall make the required prepayment in accordance with Section 2.12 and follow the procedure described in Section 2.12. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of the applicable Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment.

(e) Prepayment of Revolving Facility Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales pursuant to Section 2.13(c) above shall result in a corresponding reduction of commitments under the Revolving Facility. Other repayments or prepayments shall not result in a reduction in commitments under the Revolving Facility.

(f) In the event of any termination of all the Commitments, each Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Loans and all its outstanding Swingline Loans and terminate all its outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit and/or cash collateralize such Revolving Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.06(j). If as a result of any partial reduction of the Commitments, the aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure would exceed the aggregate Commitments of all Revolving Facility Lenders after giving effect thereto, then the Borrowers shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay their respective Borrowings under Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and/or cash collateralize Revolving Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.13 or any other provision of this Agreement and without otherwise limiting the rights in respect of prepayments of the Loans of the Borrowers, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company, Holdco, any Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries may repurchase outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13(h) on the following basis:

(i) The Company, Holdco, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower may make one or more offers (each, an “Offer”) to repurchase all or any portion of Term Loans of any particular tranche (such Term Loans, the “Offer Loans”) of Term Lenders; provided that, (A) the Company, Holdco, such Borrower or such Subsidiary delivers a notice of such Offer to the Administrative Agent and all Term Lenders holding Offer Loans no later than 12:00 Noon New York City time at least five Business Days in advance of a proposed consummation date of such Offer indicating (1) the last date on which such Offer may be accepted, (2) the maximum dollar amount of such Offer, and (3) the repurchase price per dollar of principal amount of such Offer Loans at which the Company, Holdco, such Borrower or such Subsidiary is willing to repurchase such Offer Loans (which price shall be below par); (B) the maximum dollar amount of each Offer shall be no less than $10,000,000; (C) the Company, Holdco such Borrower or such Subsidiary shall hold such Offer open for a minimum period of two Business Days; (D) a Term Lender who elects to participate in the Offer may choose to sell all or part of such Term Lender’s Offer Loans; (E) such Offer shall be made to Term Lenders holding the Offer Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective principal amount then due and owing to the Term Lenders holding the relevant tranche of Term Loans; provided, further that, if any Term Lender elects not to participate in the Offer, either in whole or in part, the amount of such Term Lender’s Offer Loans not being tendered shall be excluded in calculating the pro rata amount applicable to the balance of such Offer Loans and (F) such Offer shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Company, Holdco, such Borrower or such Subsidiary may establish with the reasonable consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall be consistent with this Section 2.13(h) and which shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and that a Term Lender must follow in order to have its Offer Loans repurchased;

(ii) With respect to all repurchases made by the Company, Holdco, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower, such repurchases shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.13 in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans; provided further that such repurchases shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(a) or Section 2.20;

(iii) Upon the purchase by the Company, Holdco, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower of any Term Loans, (A) automatically and without the necessity of any notice or any other action all principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans so repurchased shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes and shall be cancelled and no longer outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (and in connection with any Term Loan purchased pursuant to this Section 2.13(h), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect such cancellation) and (B) the Company, Holdco, such Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, will promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the total amount of Offer Loans that were repurchased from each Lender who elected to participate in the Offer;

(iv) failure by the Company, Holdco, any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower to make any payment to a Lender required by an agreement permitted by this Section 2.13(h) shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.01(b) or Section 7.01(c); and

(v) no proceeds of any Revolving Loans or Cure Amount may be used to purchase any Offer Loans.

Section 2.14. Fees. • The Borrowers agree to pay to each Lender, without duplication of any other amounts paid to such Lender, (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, three Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) on the daily amount of the Available Unused Commitment of such Lender during the preceding quarter up until the last day of such quarter (or other period commencing with the Closing Date and ending with the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated) at a rate of 0.75% per annum.

All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender’s Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swingline Loans during the period for which such Lender’s Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall begin to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the last of the Commitments of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein.

(a) The Borrowers from time to time agree to pay to each Revolving Facility Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), through the Administrative Agent, 10 Business Days after the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided

herein, a fee (a “Revolving L/C Participation Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of the daily aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Revolving L/C Disbursements), during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date and ending with the Maturity Date or the date on which the Commitments shall be terminated) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Revolving Facility Borrowings effective for each day in such period.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) The Borrowers from time to time agree to pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (x) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and three Business Days after the date on which the Commitments of all the Lenders shall be terminated as provided herein, a fronting fee in an amount equal to the greater of (i) U.S. $125.0 per fiscal quarter and (ii) 0.125% per annum of the daily average stated amount of such Revolving Letter of Credit (or such other amount as the Initial Borrower and any Issuing Bank shall, in their sole discretion, agree in writing), in respect of each Revolving Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Revolving Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Revolving Letter of Credit, plus (y) in connection with the issuance, amendment or transfer of any such Revolving Letter of Credit or any Revolving L/C Disbursement thereunder, such Issuing Bank’s customary documentary and processing charges (collectively, “Issuing Bank Fees”). All Revolving L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees that are payable pursuant to (ii) above on a per annum basis shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

(d) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, at the times specified therein (the “Agent Fees”).

(e) [Reserved].

(f) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders, except that Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Banks. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.15. Interest. • Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan made to such Borrower at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(a) Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan made to such Borrower at the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such LIBOR Loan plus the Applicable Margin plus the Mandatory Costs Rate (if any) for the Lenders incurring it and notifying the Administrative accordingly.

(b) Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Canadian Prime Rate Loan made to such Borrower at the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each EURIBOR Loan made to such Borrower at EURIBOR for the Interest Period in effect for such EURIBOR Loan plus the Applicable Margin plus the Mandatory Costs Rate (if any) for the Lenders incurring it and notifying the Administrative accordingly.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any Fees or other amount payable by a Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such Borrower shall pay interest on such overdue amount, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (y) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans as provided, respectively, in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section; provided that this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Default or Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.08.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be payable by the applicable Borrower in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Facility Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand. In the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than Swingline Loans), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment. Accrued interest on each Swingline Loan shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.05.

(f) All computations of interest (other than with respect to Swingline Loans) shall be made by the Administrative Agent taking into account the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable pursuant to this Section, and (i) for Loans denominated in Sterling, on the basis of a year of 365 days or (ii) for other Loans, on the basis of a year of 360 days.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) Interest Act (Canada). • Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, with respect to Loans made to or fees paid by any Borrower that is organized under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof (a “Canadian Borrower”), whenever a rate of interest hereunder is calculated on the basis of a period of time other than a calendar year (the “deemed year”), the annual rate of interest to which each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is such rate as so determined by multiplying such rate of interest by the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year.

(i) If interest at the rates provided for in paragraph (c) and (h) of this Section are not enforceable by reason of the Interest Act (Canada), interest after default on principal and interest amounts shall be at the same rate of interest payable thereto prior to default or such higher rate (not to exceed the Default Interest set forth in paragraph (e) of this Section as may be enforceable under the Interest Act (Canada)).

(i) Nominal Rates; No Deemed Reinvestment. With respect to Loans made to or fees paid by a Canadian Borrower, the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; all interest payments to be made hereunder shall be paid without allowance or deduction for reinvestment or otherwise, before and after maturity, default and judgment. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates. Interest calculated hereunder shall be calculated using the nominal rate method and not the effective rate method of calculation.

(j) Interest Paid by a Canadian Borrower. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) payable by a Canadian Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada)) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document lawfully permitted by that Section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of “interest” (as defined in that Section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that Section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders and the excess amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded to such Borrower, firstly, by reducing the amount of rate of interest required to be paid to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender under Section 2.15 and, thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the Administrative Agent or such Lender which would constitute “interest” for purposes of that Section. For the purposes of this Agreement, the effective annual rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the relevant term and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the applicable Lenders will be prima facie evidence of such rate.

Section 2.16. Alternate Rate of Interest. • If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate or the EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders or the Majority Lenders under the Revolving Facility that the LIBOR Rate or the EURIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the rate of interest per annum on each Lender’s share of the affected Borrowings shall be the rate per annum which is the aggregate of (x) the Applicable Margin, (y)

the rate notified to the Administrative Agent by such Lender as soon as practicable, and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of that Interest Period, to be that which expresses as a percentage per annum the cost to that Lender of funding its participation in that Borrowing from whatever source it may reasonably select and (z) the Mandatory Cost, if any, applicable to that Lender’s participation in the relevant Borrowing.

(b) If any of the circumstances described in paragraph (a) or (b) occur and the Administrative Agent or the Company so requests, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than 30 days) with a view to agreeing on a substitute basis for determining the appropriate rate of interest applicable to affected Borrowings. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the foregoing sentence will, subject to the consent of the Majority Lenders under each affected Facility, be binding on all Lenders and the Loan Parties.

Section 2.17. Increased Costs. • If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate or EURIBOR Rate or to the extent compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost) or Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Revolving Letter of Credit or participation therein (except, in each case (A) for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes (B) for changes in the rate of tax on the overall rate of net income of such Lender);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) to a Borrower or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Revolving Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) (except, in each case (A) for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes, (B) for changes in the rate of tax on the overall rate of net income of such Lender or (C) for any cost compensated for by the payment of the Mandatory Cost), then such Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in connection with such Borrower.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or any of the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such

Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time each Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered in connection with such Borrower.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to each Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.18. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate or EURIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue a LIBOR Loan or EURIBOR Loan, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the LIBOR market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.19. Taxes. • Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes unless required by applicable law. If a Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) any Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes been made, (ii) such Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(a) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (other than any penalty resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank and without duplication of any amounts indemnified under Section 2.19(a)) paid or payable by such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party under any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that a certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation for such payment or liability is delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf, on behalf of another Administrative Agent or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent.

(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) • Each Lender or Issuing Bank shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide such Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender or Issuing Bank to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to any

payments to be made to such Lender or Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents. Each such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so.

(i) Without limiting the foregoing and with respect to any Loan made to a U.S. Borrower:

(A) Each Lender or Issuing Bank that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Issuing Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(B) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(1)

two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code,

(2)

two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(3)

in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms),

(4)

to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Non-U.S. Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or

any successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner), or

(5)

two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.

Each applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further original copies of any previously delivered form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or promptly notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is unable to do so. Each applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certification to the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent,

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19(e), a Lender or Issuing Bank shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender or Issuing Bank is not legally eligible to deliver.

(e) If the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank determines, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank in good faith and in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank in the event such Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

Section 2.20. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. • Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of Revolving L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, or otherwise) prior to the time reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent as being customary at the time for settlement of transactions in the relevant currency in the place of payment, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent to the applicable account designated to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the applicable Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 9.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of (i) principal or interest in respect of any Loan or (ii) Revolving L/C Reimbursement Obligations shall in each case be made in the currency in which such Loan was made or such Revolving Letter of Credit was issued. All payments of other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if such Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by such Administrative Agent to make such payment.

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

(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off, consolidation, banker’s lien or counterclaim, through the application of any proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or Revolving Facility Loans or participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Facility Loans and participations in

Revolving L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by a Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Loan Party (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment by such Borrower is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(d), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.08(b) or 2.20(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.21. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. • If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or Schedule VI, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts

payable pursuant to Section 2.17, Section 2.19, or Schedule VI, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. The relevant Loan Party hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or Schedule VI, or is a Defaulting Lender, then such Loan Party may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Loan Party shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Revolving L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Loan Party (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.17 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.19 or Schedule VI, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. Nothing in this Section 2.21 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Loan Party may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.08 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (i) all Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (ii) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest or fees thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.04.

Section 2.22. Increase in Commitments and/or Establishment of Term Loan Commitments. • New Commitments. At any time following the Closing Date, the Initial Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request (i) an increase to the existing Commitments (any such increase, a “Revolving Facility Increase”) (ii) the establishment of one or more additional tranches of revolving credit commitments (the “Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments” and, together with any Revolving

Facility Increase, the “New Revolving Facility Commitments”) and/or (iii) establish one or more tranches of term loan commitments (any such commitments, the “New Term Commitments” and together with the New Revolving Facility Commitments, if any, the “New Commitments”), by an amount not in excess of $75,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Maximum Incremental Amount”) or a lesser amount in integral multiples of $5,000,000. Such notice shall specify (x) the date (an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Initial Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be made available and (y) in the case of New Term Commitments, the date the new Term Loans shall be made available, which shall be a date not less than 5 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Company or the Initial Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the identity of the Borrower(s) of the New Commitments and each Revolving Facility Lender, or other financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each, a “New Revolving Facility Lender,” a “New Term Lender” or generally, a “New Lender”, as applicable) to whom the New Commitments have been (in accordance with the prior sentence) allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment. Such New Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date, and in the case of New Term Commitments, such new term loans in respect thereof (“New Term Loans”) shall be made on such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments and Loans; (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increased Amount Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such New Commitments and Loans, with the Financial Performance Covenant, recomputed as at the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (iv) such increase in the Commitments and/or such establishment of the New Term Loan Commitments shall be evidenced by one or more joinder agreements executed and delivered to Administrative Agent by each New Lender, as applicable, and each shall be recorded in the register, each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and subject to the requirements set forth in Section 2.09(e); (v) the applicable Borrower(s) shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.18 in connection with the provisions of the New Commitments; and (vi) if the interest rate of any New Term Loans or New Revolving Facility Commitments exceeds the Applicable Margin by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess over 50 basis points being referred to herein as the relevant “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin for each adversely affected existing New Term Loan or existing Revolving Facility Commitment, as applicable, shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the New Term Loan or the providing of the New Revolving Facility Commitment, as the case may be.

(a) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Facility Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the existing Revolving Facility Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Facility Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Facility Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Revolving Facility Lenders, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the outstanding Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Revolving Letters of Credit and

Swingline Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date that will result in, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Facility Loans and participations in Revolving Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans being held by existing Revolving Facility Lenders and New Revolving Facility Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Facility Commitments to the Revolving Facility Commitments, (ii) each New Revolving Facility Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Facility Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Facility Loan and have the same terms as any existing Revolving Facility Loan and (iii) each New Revolving Facility Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Revolving Facility Commitments and all matters relating thereto.

(b) Subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, any loans made in respect of any New Term Commitment shall be made as a new tranche of term loans (an “Additional Term Loan Tranche”); provided that any Additional Term Loan Tranche (x) shall not mature prior to the Maturity Date, (y) the interest rates applicable to such Additional Term Loan Tranche shall be determined by the Initial Borrower and the New Term Lenders and (z) the Additional Term Loan Tranche shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Initial Borrower and the New Term Lenders, provided that to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Revolving Facility, except to the extent provided by sub-clauses (x) and (y) above, they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c) All New Term Loans made on any Increased Amount Date will be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Initial Borrower’s notice of an Increased Amount Date and, in respect thereof, the New Commitments and the New Lenders.

Section 2.23. Designated Borrowers. • (i) The Subsidiaries of the Initial Borrower listed on Schedule I (effective as of the Closing Date) and (ii) any other Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Initial Borrower that is a Guarantor and is incorporated in the United States, Luxembourg, Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands or Ireland (subject to the provisions of this Section 2.23), shall be “Designated Borrowers” hereunder and may receive Loans for their respective accounts on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(a) The Company may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional Subsidiary of a Borrower (an “Applicant Borrower”) incorporated in a jurisdiction listed in paragraph (a) above to receive Loans under a Facility by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the Revolving Facility, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and

other documents or information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, all such documents or information required to comply with the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act), in each case consistent with the documents and information required to be delivered hereunder with respect to any Borrowers on the Closing Date (but with such differences as may be appropriate in light of applicable local law), and Notes signed by such new Borrowers to the extent any Lenders so require. Promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit J (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Borrowers and such Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of such Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans under the applicable Facility, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower under such Facility for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b) Each Subsidiary of a Borrower that is or becomes a Designated Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.23 hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices and (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgment, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

(c) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that any outstanding Loans (and all other amounts) payable by such Designated Borrower are at the option of the Company, either repaid in full or expressly assumed by another Borrower in a writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (together with such other supporting certificates or documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require), in each case as of the effective date of such termination; provided that, if such Designated Borrower is also a Subsidiary Loan Party, such termination will not affect such Designated Borrower’s Obligations under any of the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of Designated Borrower’s status

(d) Each Designated Borrower shall enter into the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent Appointment Deed on the day on which it becomes a Designated Borrower hereunder by executing and delivering an accession agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K.

Section 2.24. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or EURIBOR Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended until such Lender

notifies the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender, prepay all such LIBOR Borrowings or EURIBOR Borrowings of such Lender on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Borrowings or EURIBOR Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment, the applicable Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.

Section 2.25. Extensions of Term Loans, Revolving Facility Loans and Commitments and Additional/Replacement Revolving Facility Loans and Additional/Replacement Commitments.

(a) • Any Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of each Term Loan of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be exchanged to extend the scheduled final maturity date thereof (any such Term Loans which have been so extended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.25. Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the relevant Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be extended except (x) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to any scheduled amortization payments with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly set forth Section 2.25(c) below), (y) all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Agreement; provided, that if (1) the Maximum Incremental Amount has not been utilized pursuant to Section 2.22 and (2) the Applicable Margin for any Extended Term Loans exceeds the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess over 50 basis points being referred to herein as the relevant “Extended Term Loans Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin for the adversely affected Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class shall automatically be increased by the Extended Term Loans Yield Differential, effective upon the establishment of such Extended Term Loans and (z) the voluntary and mandatory prepayment rights of the Extended Term Loans shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 2.13, it being agreed that Extended Term Loans shall be treated pursuant to Section 2.13 in the same way as Revolving Facility Loans (and on a pro rata basis with Revolving Facility Loans), with any adjustments as are necessary to reflect the term loan nature of the Extended Term Loans. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class exchanged into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which they were extended; provided that in no event shall there be more than six Classes of Term Loans outstanding at any time.

100

(i) Any Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments and/or any Additional/Replacement Commitments (and, in each case, including any previously extended Commitments and/or Additional/Replacement Commitments) existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Commitment” and any related revolving credit loans under any such facility, “Existing Revolving Facility Loans”) be exchanged to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Revolving Facility Loans related to such Existing Commitments (any such Existing Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Commitments” and any related revolving credit loans, “Extended Revolving Facility Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.25. Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Commitments) (a “Revolving Credit Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Commitment Class”) except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class, (y) the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) with respect to the Extended Commitments may be higher or lower than the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) for the Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class; provided, that if (1) the Maximum Incremental Amount has not been utilized pursuant to Section 2.22 and (2) the Applicable Margin for any Extended Revolving Facility Loans exceeds the Applicable Margin for the Existing Revolving Facility Loans of such Specified Existing Commitment Class by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess over 50 basis points being referred to herein as the relevant “Extended Revolving Facility Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin for the adversely affected Existing Revolving Facility Loans shall automatically be increased by the Extended Revolving Facility Loans Yield Differential, effective upon the establishment of such Extended Commitments and (z) the revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Commitments may be higher or lower than the revolving credit commitment fee rate for Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.25 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of the Extended Revolving Facility Loans under any Extended Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Revolving Facility Loans (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Agreement and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of the Revolving Credit Facility), (2) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments and Extended Revolving Facility Loans shall be governed by the

101

assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 9.04 and (3) no termination of Extended Commitments and no repayment of Extended Revolving Facility Loans accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Extended Commitments shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by at least a pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction), as applicable, of the Existing Revolving Facility Loans and Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class (or all Existing Commitments of such Class and related Existing Revolving Facility Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full). Any Extended Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of revolving credit commitments from Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date); provided that in no event shall there be more than three Classes of revolving credit commitments outstanding at any one time.

(b) The relevant Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans, Commitments or Additional/Commitments (or any earlier extended Extended Commitments) of an Existing Class subject to such Extension Request exchanged into Extended Loans/Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans, Commitments and/or Additional/Commitments (and/or any earlier extended Extended Commitments) which it has elected to convert into Extended Loans/Commitments. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans, Commitments and Additional/Commitments (and any earlier extended Extended Commitments) subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Loans/Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans, Commitments and Additional/Commitments (and any earlier extended Extended Commitments) subject to Extension Elections shall be exchanged to Extended Loans/Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans, Commitments and Additional/Commitments (and any earlier extended Extended Commitments) included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Commitment (other than an Additional/Replacement Commitment) into an Extended Commitment, such Extended Commitment shall be treated identically to all Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class for purposes of the obligations of a Revolving Credit Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.05 and Letters of Credit under Section 2.06, except that the applicable Extension Agreement may provide that the Maturity Date applicable to the Swingline Facility and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued (pursuant to mechanics set forth in the applicable Extension Agreement) so long as the Swingline Lender and/or the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, have consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension). Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Commitment into an Extended Commitment (other than a Commitment), such Extended Commitment shall be treated identically to all Existing Commitments of the Specified Existing Commitment Class for purposes of the obligations of the lenders thereof in respect of swingline loans and letters of credit, except that the applicable Extension Agreement may provide that the applicable swingline

102

maturity date and/or the last day for issuing letters of credit may be extended and the related obligations to make swingline loans and issue letters of credit may be continued so long as the applicable swingline lender and/or the applicable letter of credit issuer, as applicable, have consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(c) Extended Loans/Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Agreement”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.25(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.08, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans/Commitments established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.25 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 9.08 to any Section 2.25 Additional Agreements, any Extension Agreement may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.25 Additional Agreement”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.25 Additional Agreements do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.25 Additional Agreements have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to (1) consents applicable to holders of Term Loans and Additional/Replacement Revolving Credit Commitment and (2) consents applicable to holders of any Extended Loans/Commitments provided for in any Extension Agreement) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.25 Additional Agreements to become effective in accordance with Section 9.08. In connection with any Extension Agreement, the Company shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Agreement, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence), (ii) to the effect that such Extension Agreement, including without limitation, the Extended Loans/Commitments provided for therein, does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of Section 9.08 and (iii) as to any other matter reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

(v) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted to be incurred under Section 6.02(a) or clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (xii) or (xvi) of this Section 6.02(b);

128

(vi) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness and cash management pooling obligations and arrangements between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (treating the EMEA JV and any other Permitted Joint Venture as Restricted Subsidiaries for this purpose); provided, however, that:

(A) if the Initial Borrower or any Loan Party is the obligor on such Indebtedness (other than cash management pooling obligations and arrangements and Indebtedness owed to the EMEA JV and any other Permitted Joint Venture) and the payee is not the Initial Borrower or a Loan Party, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations then due with respect to the Revolving Facility and the Guarantees given under the Loan Document Guarantee; and

(B) (x) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (b)(vi);

(vii) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred equity; provided, however, that:

(B) any sale or other transfer of any such preferred equity to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,

will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred equity by such Restricted Subsidiary that was not permitted by this clause (vii);

(viii) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations other than for speculative purposes;

(ix) the guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and cash management pooling obligations and arrangements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (treating the EMEA JV and any other Permitted Joint Venture as Restricted Subsidiaries for this purpose); provided that any such guarantee (other than a guarantee of cash management pooling obligations and arrangements) by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of a Permitted Joint Venture that does not exist on the Closing Date shall not exceed the amount set forth in clause (19)(B) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”) that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant (including the first

129

paragraph hereof); provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the notes, then the Guarantee shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

(x) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, payment obligations in connection with health or other types of social security benefits, unemployment or other insurance or self-insurance obligations, reclamation, statutory obligations, bankers’ acceptances, bid, performance, surety or similar bonds and letters of credit or completion or performance guarantees (including without limitation, performance guarantees pursuant to flying contracts, supply agreements or equipment leases), or other similar obligations in the ordinary course of business or consistent with past practice;

(A) the Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first sentence of this covenant; or

(B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio would not be less than immediately prior to such acquisition;

(xiv) the incurrence of Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn outs, or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition or acquisition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred or assumed by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition;

(xv) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness or the issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) or having an aggregate

130

liquidation preference at any time outstanding not to exceed the greater of $125.0 million or 5.0% of Total Assets (it being understood that any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity incurred pursuant to this clause (xv) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this covenant from and after the date on which the Company could have incurred such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or preferred equity under the first paragraph of this covenant without reliance upon this clause (xv));

(xvi) Contribution Indebtedness; and

(xvii) Manufacturer Support Indebtedness, Deposit Financings and Vendor Financings at any time outstanding not to exceed in the aggregate 3.0% of Total Assets.

(c) The Initial Borrower will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Revolving Facility on substantially identical terms (or terms more favorable to the Lenders under the Revolving Facility); provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.02, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in Section 6.02(b)(i)(b)(xvii) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity on the date of its incurrence and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in one of the above clauses, although the Company may divide and classify an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in one or more of the types of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and may later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred equity, in any manner that complies with this covenant. The accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred equity as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred equity in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity and unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging Obligations (including those resulting from the application of SFAS 133 or any comparable standard relating to hedge accounting) will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred equity for purposes of this covenant; provided, in each such case (other than preferred stock that is not Disqualified Stock), that the amount of any such accrual, accretion or payment is included in Fixed Charges of the Company as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

131

(e) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the establishment of the facility or instrument under which such Indebtedness was incurred; provided, however, that if such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars, covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in such Currency Agreement. The principal amount of any refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced, except to the extent that (i) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Agreement, in which case the refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (ii) the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, in which case the U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess, as appropriate, will be determined on the date such refinancing Indebtedness is incurred.

(f) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person

Section 6.03. Asset Sales.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) other than in connection with an Aircraft Sale and Leaseback Transaction or a Designated Building and Equipment Transaction, at least 75% of the aggregate consideration received from such Asset Sale and all other Asset Sales since the Closing Date, on a cumulative basis, by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents, Marketable Securities or Additional Assets, or any combination thereof. For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, including novations of aircraft contracts in connection with aircraft sale and leaseback transactions (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Revolving Facility and the Senior Notes or any Guarantee in respect of the Revolving Facility or the Senior Notes) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and as a result of which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is released from further liability;

132

(B) any securities, notes, other obligations or assets received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of the receipt thereof, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion;

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale; provided that the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, taken together with the Fair Market Value at the time of receipt of all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) less the amount of Net Proceeds previously realized in cash from prior Designated Non-cash Consideration is less than the greater of (x) 2.0% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), and (y) $50.0 million; and

(D) any Capital Stock or assets of the kind referred to in paragraph (b)(i)(B) below.

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may:

(i) apply such Net Proceeds, at its option:

(A) to (1) repay Loans (other than Swingline Loans) pursuant to Section 2.13(c) (and, in the case of repayment of Revolving Facility Loans, correspondingly and permanently reduce commitments under the Revolving Facility) or (2) redeem or purchase Senior Notes, by way of optional redemption, open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or an “Asset Sale Offer” in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes Indenture; or

(B) in reinvestment in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries by (1) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business (provided, that in the case of any such

133

acquisition of Capital Stock, such Person is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), (2) acquiring other short- or long-term assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted Business, or (3) investing in Additional Assets and Permitted Joint Ventures (provided that any Investment in a Permitted Joint Venture (other than an Existing Permitted JV) pursuant to this clause (3) and paragraph (a)(ii)(D) above shall not, together with Investments outstanding pursuant to Clause (xix)(B) of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” exceed the greater of $125.0 million or 5.0% of Total Assets at the time such Investment is made); provided, that Net Proceeds from Asset Sales of assets constituting Collateral reinvested pursuant to this paragraph (B) in assets or Capital Stock not constituting Collateral in any financial year shall not exceed the greater of $50,000,000 and 2% of Total Assets as at the start of such financial year; or

(ii) enter into a binding commitment to apply the Net Proceeds pursuant to paragraph (i) above, provided that such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the earlier of (x) the date on which such acquisition or expenditure is consummated, and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365 day period.

Section 6.04. Liens.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, on any asset or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom in each such case to the extent such asset, property, income or profits constitute Collateral, except that, subject to paragraph (b) below, the foregoing shall not apply to:

(i) Liens securing the Senior Notes, the related Note Guarantees (and the exchange notes and the related guarantees in respect thereof) and any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.02(b)(iii); and

134

(B) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 6.02 so long as at the date of incurrence of such Lien the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio does not exceed 5.0:1.0 (the “Maximum Secured Leverage Ratio”); provided that any Lien securing such Indebtedness may attach at the date of incurrence of such Indebtedness or within 180 days of the date of incurrence of such Indebtedness so long as at the date of incurrence of such Indebtedness the Maximum Secured Leverage Ratio would not have been exceeded had such Lien attached at the date of incurrence of such Indebtedness and the Company certifies the same in a certificate filed with the trustee and identifying with particularity such Indebtedness (such Indebtedness, the “Delayed Lien Debt”) and detailing the Liens generally to attach; and

(C) Liens securing Indebtedness under the Senior Notes, any Notes Guarantees in respect thereof and any Lease Refinancing Notes.

(b) The Company will ensure that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Priority Payment Lien Obligations of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (excluding Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations) does not at any time exceed $375,000,000.

(c) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, on any asset or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, in each case, that does not constitute Collateral unless the obligations under the Revolving Facility are equally and ratably secured with the Obligations secured by such Lien until such time as such Obligations are no longer secured by such Lien, except that the foregoing shall not apply to Permitted Liens.

Section 6.05. Dividend and other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a Loan Party to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of the Initial Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party to:

(x) any transaction in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the trustee a letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or that such transaction meets the requirements of Section 6.07(a)(i);

(xi) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any acquisition agreements or members’ or stockholders agreement or related documents to which it is a party as of the Closing Date and any amendment thereto or similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing Date shall only be permitted by this Section 6.07(b)(xi) to the extent that the terms of any such existing agreement, together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or such new agreement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the holders of the notes taken as a whole than the original agreement as in effect on the Closing Date;

(xii) transactions with Unrestricted Subsidiaries, customers, clients, suppliers, joint venture partners or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, including aircraft services, or lessors or lessees of property, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement which are, in the aggregate (taking into account all the costs and benefits associated with such transactions), materially no less favorable to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Borrower or senior management of either of them, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(xiii) (A) guarantees of performance by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Unrestricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, except for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money, and (B) pledges of Equity Interests of Unrestricted Subsidiaries for the benefit of lenders of Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

(xiv) if such Affiliate Transaction is with a Person in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary where such Person is treated no more favorably than the holders of Indebtedness or Capital Stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(xv) transactions effected pursuant to agreements in effect on the Closing Date and any amendment, modification or replacement of such agreement (so long as such amendment or replacement is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the notes, taken as a whole);

141

(xvi) payments to the Equity Investors made for any financial advisory, financing or other investment banking activities, including without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which payments are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors;

(xvii) transactions, agreements, arrangements and any amendments or modifications of the foregoing (including, without limitation, sale and leaseback transactions) entered into in the ordinary course of business between the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and an EU Licensed Operator or EU Investorco (after such EU Licensed Operator or EU Investorco ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary) that are on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party; and

(xviii) transactions, agreements, arrangements and any amendments or modifications of the foregoing entered into in the ordinary course of business between the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and a Permitted Joint Venture that are on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party.

Section 6.08. Business Activities. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 6.09. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Board of Directors of the Company or the Initial Borrower may designate any Restricted Subsidiary, other than any Borrower, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 6.02 or under one or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company or the Initial Borrower may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

(b) Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by filing with the trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the applicable Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 6.01. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an

142

Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 6.02, the Company will be in default of such covenant. The Board of Directors of the Company or the Initial Borrower may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (1) (x) the Company could incur such Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test described under Section 6.02 or (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such designation, in each case on a pro forma basis taking into account such designation; and (2) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 6.10. First Priority Debt Leverage Ratio. Beginning with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, for any Test Period, the Company shall not permit the First Priority Debt Leverage Ratio on the last day of such Test Period to be in excess of 2.50:1.00.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.02. [Reserved].

146

be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the financial covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the financial covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for this purposes of the Agreement.

Section 8.02. Joint Lead Arrangers, etc. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank recognizes and agrees that the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Manager, Syndication Agent and Co-Documentation Agents in their respective capacities as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender of Issuing Bank, and shall have no functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities for acting as such hereunder.

Section 8.03. Mandatory Cost. Each Lender shall supply the Administrative Agent with any information required by the Administrative Agent in order to calculate the Mandatory Cost in accordance with Schedule VI.

Section 8.04. Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or Issuing Bank an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.19(a) or Section 2.19(c), each Lender or Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender or Issuing Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or

147

liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Bank Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.04.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Revolving Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01(b), Section 7.01(c), Section 7.01(i) or Section 7.01(j) has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee (provided that any liability of any Borrower to an assignee that is an Approved Fund or Affiliate of the assigning Lender under Section 2.17 or 2.19 shall be limited to the amount, if any, that would have been payable hereunder by such Borrower in the absence of such assignment);

(B) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender;

(C) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may withhold its consent if the costs or the taxes payable by the Borrowers to the assignee under Sections 2.17 or 2.19 shall be greater than they would have been to assignor;

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least U.S.$1.0 million in the aggregate, the amount

of the commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than U.S.$5.0 million and increments of U.S. $1.0 million in excess thereof, in the case of assignments under the Revolving Facility, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under paragraph (b), (c), (i) or (j) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,000 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that (i) only one such fee shall be payable in the case of contemporaneous assignments to or by two or more related Approved Funds and (ii) such fee does not apply to assignments by the Joint Lead Arrangers;

For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” shall have the following meaning:

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender hereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance

152

covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 9.05). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall not be effective as an assignment hereunder.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and Revolving L/C Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, any administrative information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(b) • Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and Revolving L/C Disbursements owing to it); provided that (H) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (I) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (J) the Borrowers, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument (oral or written) pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to exercise rights under and to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (x) such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 9.04(a)(i) or clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi) or (vii) of the first proviso to Section 9.08(b) that affects such Participant and (y) no other agreement (oral or written) with respect to such Participant may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits (and subject to the requirements and limitations) of Section 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 to the same extent as if it were the Lender from whom it obtained its

153

participation (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirement to provide documentation under Section 2.19(e)) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.20(c) as though it were a Lender.

(i) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Company may withhold its consent if a Participant would be entitled to require greater payment than the applicable Lender under such Sections.

(c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its promissory note, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, and any such pledgee (other than a pledgee that is the Federal Reserve Bank) shall acknowledge in writing that its rights under such pledge are in all respects subject to the limitations applicable to the pledging Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. • The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Agents in connection with the syndication of the Commitments or the administration of this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and initial and ongoing Collateral examination to the extent incurred with the reasonable prior approval of the Company and the reasonable fees, disbursements and the charges for no more than one counsel in each jurisdiction where Collateral is located) or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the Transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Agents or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in connection with the Loans made or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any other counsel (including the reasonable and documented expenses of Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP and of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx and the reasonable and documented allocated costs of internal counsel for the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any Issuing Bank or any Lender); provided that, absent any conflict of interest, the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall not be entitled to indemnification for the fees, charges or disbursements of more than one counsel in each jurisdiction.

(a) The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Agents, the Joint Lead Arrangers, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers,

154

employees, investment advisors and agents (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Commitment Letter, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of any Revolving Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, material breach of contract or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (treating, for this purpose only, any Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any Issuing Bank, any Lender and any of their respective Related Parties as a single Indemnitee). Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers agree to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable and documented counsel or consultant fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Company, Holdco, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or (B) any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any Real Property, any property owned, leased or operated by any predecessor of the Company, Holdco, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any property at which the Company, Holdco, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries has sent Hazardous Wastes for treatment, storage or disposal, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, material breach of contract or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or would have arisen as against the Indemnitee regardless of this Agreement or any Borrowings hereunder. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable to any Loan Party for any consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages. The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of the Commitment Letter, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

(b) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers shall be entitled to assume the defense of any action, claim or other proceeding for which indemnification is sought hereunder with counsel of their choice at its expense (in which case the Borrowers shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by an Indemnitee except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to each such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding a Borrower’s

155

election to assume the defense of such action, claim or proceeding, each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such action, claim or proceeding, and such Borrower shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by such Borrower to represent such Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action, claim or proceeding include both such Borrower and such Indemnitee and such Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to such Borrower (in which case such Borrower shall not have the right to assume the defense or such action, claim or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnitee); (iii) such Borrower shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee to represent it within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, claim or proceeding; or (iv) such Borrower shall authorize in writing such Indemnitee to employ separate counsel at such Borrower’s expense. Such Borrower will not be liable under this Agreement for any amount paid by an Indemnitee to settle any claims, actions or proceedings if the settlement is entered into without such Borrower’s consent, which consent may not be withheld or delayed unless such settlement is unreasonable in light of such claims, actions or proceedings against, and defenses available to, such Indemnitee; provided, that such Borrower will have no such consent right if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(c) This Section 9.05 shall not apply to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from non-Tax claims (and taking into account any associated Tax benefits in determining such losses or damages).

Section 9.06. Right of Set-off. Subject to Section 9.22, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary incorporated in a Security Jurisdiction, against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although the obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank may have.

Section 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. • No failure or delay of the Agents, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,

156

preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders and (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Collateral Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders (or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Loan Document); provided, however, that no such agreement shall

(i) decrease or forgive the principal amount of, or extend the final maturity of, or decrease the rate of interest on, any Loan or any Revolving L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that any amendment to the financial covenant definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (i),

(ii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease the Commitment Fees or Revolving L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender),

(iii) extend any date on which payment of interest on any Loan, Revolving L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(iv) subject to Section 9.08(d) and Section 9.08(e), amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.20(b) or (c) in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby,

(v) extend the stated expiration date of any Revolving Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

(vi) amend or modify the provisions of this Section or the definition of the terms “Required Lenders,” “Majority Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights

157

hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Loans and Commitments are included on the Closing Date),

(vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees under the Loan Document Guarantee of the Subsidiary Loan Parties, taken as a whole, without the prior written consent of each Lender, or

(viii) add a new Revolving Facility Lender, without the prior written consent of each Issuing Bank; and

provided, further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 9.08 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 9.08 shall bind any assignee of such Lender.

(b) Without the consent of any Syndication Agent, Joint Lead Arranger or Lender, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Finance Parties (and potentially other Secured Parties), or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Finance Parties (and potentially other Secured Parties), in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Borrowers (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(d) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Initial Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any particular tranche (such Term Loans,

158

“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”); provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (ii) the interest rate margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the interest rate margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (iii) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (iv) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

(e) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any New Term Commitments, New Commitments or facilities provided pursuant to Section 9.08(d) or Section 9.08(e) on substantially the same basis as the Loans and any then-existing Term Loans, or on customary terms for term loans, as applicable.

Section 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Issuing Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender or such Issuing Bank on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

Section 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 9.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER

159

PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

Section 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavour in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or an electronic transmission of a PDF copy thereof shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original; provided, however, that any such delivery shall be followed promptly by delivery of the manually signed original.

Section 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. • Each of the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties thereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at the address specified for the Loan Parties in Section 9.01, or in accordance with the following sentence. Each Borrower appoints Heli-One (U.S.) Inc. (the “Process Agent”) as its agent for service of process in relation to any action or proceeding in such courts and agrees that failure by the Process Agent to notify the relevant Borrower of any process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned. In the event the Process Agent is unable to act as a Borrower’s agent for service of process for any reason, the relevant Borrower will immediately appoint another process agent reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Lender or any Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Borrower or any Loan Party or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

160

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

Section 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and each of the Agents agrees that it shall maintain in confidence any information relating to the Company, Holdco, the Borrowers and their other Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates furnished to it by or on behalf of the Company, Holdco, the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties or such Subsidiary or Affiliate (other than information that (x) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party in breach of this Agreement, (y) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent without violating this Section 9.16 or (z) was available to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Agent from a third party having, to such Person’s actual knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to the Company, Holdco, the Borrowers or any other Subsidiary or any such Affiliate) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any Person that approves or administers the Loans on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Bank (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), except: (i) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the regulatory or supervisory requirements of any Governmental Authority (including bank examiners), the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, (ii) as part of reporting or review procedures to Governmental Authorities (including bank examiners) or the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, (iii) to its parent companies, Affiliates or auditors (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16), (iv) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding, (v) to any prospective assignee of, or prospective Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 9.16 or on terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 9.16) and (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Swap Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section or on terms at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 9.16). If a Lender, an Issuing Bank or an Agent is requested or required to disclose any such information (other than to its bank examiners and similar regulators, internal or external auditors) pursuant to or as required by law or legal process or subpoena to the extent reasonably practicable, it shall give prompt notice thereof to the Company so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent will cooperate with the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary or Affiliate) in seeking such protective order.

161

Section 9.17. Communications. • Delivery. • Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will use all reasonable efforts to provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications collectively, the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at the address referenced in Section 9.01(a)(ii). Nothing in this Section 9.17 shall prejudice the right of the Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(i) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform (as defined below) shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e mail address.

(b) Posting. Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(c) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents advisors or representatives (collectively, “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender or Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

162

Section 9.18. Release of Liens and Guarantees. • Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, automatically and without the need for any further action by any person (or, if automatic release is not permitted in accordance with any applicable law, upon request to the Collateral Agent by the Company or the relevant Loan Party):

Section 9.19. U.S.A. PATRIOT Act and Similar Legislation. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001) (the “U.S.A. PATRIOT Act”) and similar legislation (including the PCTFA, the United Kingdom Proceeds of Crime Xxx 0000 and the United Kingdom Money Laundering Regulations 2003 (as amended)), as applicable, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow the Lenders to identify such Loan Party in accordance with such legislation. Each Loan Party agrees to furnish such information promptly upon request of a Lender. Each Lender shall be responsible for satisfying its own requirements in respect of obtaining all such information.

Section 9.20. Judgment. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first mentioned currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in London on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

Section 9.21. Australian Matters.

(a) None of the guarantees, undertakings or indemnities provided for in the Loan Documents apply to any liability or indebtedness to the extent that it would result in such guarantee, undertaking or indemnity constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of section 260A of the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Cwlth) of Australia and, to the extent possible, all Subsidiaries of the Company incorporated in Australia are required, prior to providing a guarantee or a security, to comply with the provisions of section 260B of the Corporations Act 2001(Cwlth).

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties agree that in respect of the Subsidiaries of the Company incorporated in Australia, the provisions of this Agreement and the obligations incurred under this Agreement, insofar as such obligations

164

may constitute unlawful financial assistance under Section 260A of the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Cwlth), have no effect in respect of and do not apply to any Subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Australia until such time as the steps set out in Section 260B of the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Cwlth) of Australia have been complied with and all statutory periods required under Section 260B have elapsed.

Section 9.22. Pledge and Guarantee Restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary (including any provision that would otherwise apply notwithstanding other provisions or that is the beneficiary of other overriding language):

(a) No Subsidiary shall guarantee or support any Obligation of any Loan Party if such guarantee or support would contravene the Agreed Security Principles.

(b) The parties hereto agree that any pledge, guaranty or security or similar interest made or granted in contravention of this Section 9.22 shall be void ab initio, but only to the extent of such contravention.

Section 9.23. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Each Borrower hereby agrees that subject to applicable law, nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and Borrower, their stockholders or their Affiliates. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction none of the Lenders is acting as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its Affiliates has advised or is currently advising such Loan Party on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (iv) each Borrower and other Loan party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

Section 9.24. Joint and Several Obligations - Canada. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if a “secured creditor” (as that term is defined under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to include a Person to whom obligations are owed on a joint or joint and several basis, then the Obligations of each Loan Party under the Loan Documents, to the extent such Obligations are secured, only shall be several obligations and not joint or joint and several obligations for the purposes of that Act.

165

Agreed Security Principles

1.	Agreed Security Principles

The guarantees and security to be provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Group”) will be given in accordance with certain agreed security principles (the “Agreed Security Principles”). This Schedule addresses the manner in which the Agreed Security Principles will impact on the guarantees and security proposed to be taken in relation to this transaction.

The Agreed Security Principles embody a recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective guarantees and security from members of the Group in jurisdictions in which it has been agreed that guarantees and security will be granted. In particular:

general statutory limitations, regulatory requirements or restrictions, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, “earnings stripping”, “controlled foreign corporation” rules, “thin capitalisation” rules, tax restrictions, retention of title claims, employee consultation or approval requirements, capital maintenance rules and similar principles may prevent or limit a member of the Group from providing a guarantee or security or may require that the guarantee or security be limited in amount or otherwise;

ii.

a key factor in determining whether or not a guarantee or security shall be taken is the applicable cost (including adverse effects on interest deductibility and stamp duty, notarisation and registration fees) which shall not be disproportionate to the benefit to the Lenders of obtaining such guarantee or security;

iii.

the maximum guaranteed or secured amount may be limited to minimise stamp duty, notarisation, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the benefit to the Lenders of increasing the guaranteed or secured amount is disproportionate to the level of such fee, taxes and duties;

iv.

where there is material incremental cost involved in creating security over all assets owned by a Loan Party in a particular category (e.g. real estate), the principle stated at paragraph 1(b)(ii) above shall apply and, subject to the Agreed Security Principles, only the material assets in that category (e.g. real estate valued at at least U.S.$5,000,000) shall be subject to security;

it is acknowledged that in certain jurisdictions it may be either impossible or impractical to create security over certain categories of assets in which event security will not be taken over such assets;

vi.

any assets subject to third party arrangements (other than with Affiliates) which may prevent those assets from being charged will be excluded from any relevant security document to the extent, and for so long as, so prevented from being charged provided that reasonable endeavours to obtain consent to charging any such assets shall be used by the Group if the Collateral Agent (in good faith) determines the relevant asset to be material and provided further that the shares held by any member of the Group in the EMEA JV and the Canadian JV shall not be excluded from any relevant security document pursuant to application of this paragraph 1(b)(vi);

vii.

security will not be taken over any assets that are (or will within a definitive timeframe become) subject to an Aircraft Sale and Leaseback Transaction or a Designated Building and Equipment Transaction or over which there is (or within a definitive timeframe be) any Lien that is permitted pursuant to paragraph (xxxiv) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” and no guarantees will be given by members of the Group which are lessees under such lease arrangements (except in each case to the extent permitted under such lease arrangements);

viii.

members of the Group will not be required to give guarantees or enter into security documents if it is not within the legal capacity of the relevant members of the Group or if the same would conflict with the fiduciary duties of the directors of the relevant members of the Group or contravene any legal prohibition or would result in (or in a risk of) personal or criminal liability on the part of any officer or director, provided that the relevant member of the Group shall use all reasonable endeavours to overcome any such obstacle. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the EMEA JV nor the Canadian JV nor any of their subsidiaries shall give guarantees or enter into security documents;

ix.

the giving of a guarantee, the granting of security or the perfection of the security granted will not be required if it would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Loan Party to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents;

to the extent possible security will be granted in favour of the Collateral Agent and not the Secured Parties individually. “Parallel Debt” provisions will be used where necessary and will be included in the Intercreditor Agreement and not the individual security documents (except in the Luxembourg law governed Security Documents in relation to Collateral not falling within the scope of Luxembourg law on financial collateral); and

xi.

unless required to maintain the validity, perfection or priority of any security interest or the enforceability of any guarantee, to the extent legally possible, no action will be required to be taken in relation to any guarantee or security where any Lender transfers or assigns any of its participation in the Revolving Facility. For the purpose of Articles 1278 et seq. of the Luxembourg Civil Code and any other relevant legal provisions, to the extent required under applicable law and without prejudice to any other terms of any Loan Documents, the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent will expressly reserve and the pledgor shall agree to the preservation of the security interest created under any Security Documents in case of assignment, novation in whatever form, amendment or any other transfer of the Secured Obligations or any other rights arising under the Loan Documents. No Loan Party will be liable, except in the case of a voluntary registration by any Loan Party, for any fees, costs, taxes or expenses in relation to any required re-registration, re-notarisation or other requirement for perfection or protection of security or guarantees on transfer or assignment other than in connection with a replacement of the Collateral Agent.

2.	Terms of Security Documents

(1) The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any security taken as part of this transaction:

security will secure the obligations of the Loan Party granting the security and will not be enforceable until an Event of Default has occurred and notice of acceleration of the loans has been given by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement;

notification of pledges over bank accounts will be given to the bank holding the account provided that this is not inconsistent with the Group retaining control over and the ability to use freely the balance of any account (but no member of the Group will be required to ensure that any account bank declare a consent or acknowledgement of notice of security) and until an Event of Default has occurred and notice of acceleration of the loans has been given by the Agent under this Agreement there will be no restriction on the Group’s ability to move and apply cash from out of its bank accounts, subject to the provisions of this Agreement;

unless the Company otherwise agrees, notification of receivables security to debtors (other than, subject to regulatory requirements or restrictions, to the EMEA JV Investor or the Canadian JV investor) will only be given if an Event of Default has occurred and notice of an acceleration of the loans has been given by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement;

notification of security over insurance policies (not being third party policies) will not be served until the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing;

the security documents should only operate to create security rather than to impose new commercial obligations. Accordingly, they should not contain any additional representations or undertakings (such as in respect of title, ranking, insurance, protection of assets, information or the payment of costs) unless these are required for the creation or perfection of the security and are no more onerous than any equivalent representation or undertaking in this Agreement;

in respect of any share charges, until an Event of Default has occurred and notice of acceleration of the loans has been given by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the chargors shall be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights to any shares charged by them in a manner which does not adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the security or cause an Event of Default to occur and the chargors shall be permitted to receive payment of cash dividends (other than in connection with any liquidation) upstream on charged shares to the extent permitted under this Agreement;

the Security Documents will not contain repeating representations unless these are required for the creation or perfection of the security;

the Secured Parties/Collateral Agent should only be able to exercise any power of attorney granted to them under the security documents following the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of which notice of acceleration of the loans has been given by the Administrative Agent or failure to comply with a further assurance or perfection obligation;

the security documents shall not operate so as to prevent any transaction otherwise permitted under this Agreement and will permit the disposal of any asset where such disposal is permitted under the Loan Documents and the release of security where such release is provided for under this Agreement;

no security will be taken over stock, moveable plant, equipment or receivables (other than helicopters) if it would require labelling, segregation or periodic listing or specification of such stock, plant, equipment or receivables;

the security documents will not contain separate provisions for default or penalty interest, tax, gross-up or indemnification provisions;

the security documents will not require any Loan Party to specifically charge or pledge any shares or other investment it owns except for shares in another Loan Party, a Material Subsidiary, the EMEA JV or the Canadian JV;

at the option of the relevant Loan Party, so long as no Event of Default is outstanding, the Collateral may exclude any aircraft with a greater of book or Fair Market Value of $7,000,000 or less, so long as the aggregate value of all aircraft owned by the Loan Parties and registered in Security Jurisdictions that is not part

of the Collateral does not at any time exceed $50,000,000. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the relevant Security Documents do not operate so as to automatically include such aircraft as Collateral while such Event of Default is continuing, the relevant Loan Parties shall promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent provide security over aircraft that have been excluded from the Collateral by operation of the preceding sentence; provided, that such security will at the request of the relevant Loan Party be released from the Collateral upon the waiver or cure of such Event of Default; and

no guarantee or security will be required from members of the Group incorporated in any jurisdiction (or pursuant to documentation governed by the laws of any jurisdiction) other than the UK, the Netherlands, Norway, Luxembourg, Canada, Australia, Sweden, the US, Barbados and Ireland (together, the “Security Jurisdictions”).

Schedule VI

Mandatory Costs Formulae

The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Facility Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Facility Office.

4.	The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Facility Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

in relation to a Loan in any currency other than sterling:


		E x 0.01
		300		per cent. per annum.

Where:

E is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 6 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.	For the purposes of this Schedule:

a) “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

b) “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate); and

c) “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

7.	Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

a) the jurisdiction of its Facility Office; and

b) any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

8.	The rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 6 and 7 above.

The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above is true and correct in all respects.

10.	The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 6 and 7 above.

11.	Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

12.

The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrower and the Lenders, determine and notify to all Parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

Organization and Good Standing

The Initial Borrower and the Company are late in filing their annual accounts for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 with the relevant Luxembourg authorities. The Initial Borrower and the Company are preparing to make such filings and publications promptly. Failure to make such filings or such filings notwithstanding, the Initial Borrower and the Company are deemed to be in serious contraventions of Luxembourg law, and penalties or other sanctions might be imposed, which could include dissolution. The Initial Borrower and the Company intend to promptly make such filings and no action has yet been taken by the appropriate authorities, and after consultation with Luxembourg counsel, the possibility of any such sanctions are believed to be remote.

Schedule 3.08(a)

Litigation

International operations are subject to laws and regulations, including regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and regulations administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”), restricting activities in certain countries such as Iran and Sudan. In 2006, the Company voluntarily disclosed to OFAC and BIS that several of the Subsidiaries may have violated applicable U.S. laws and regulations by re-exporting to Iran, Sudan, and Libya certain helicopters, related parts, map data, and operation and maintenance manuals, and aircraft parts for third-party customers. The Company has executed Tolling Agreements with OFAC extending the statute of limitations for the investigation and any applicable statute of limitations is now tolled through April 15, 2011. Should the U.S. government determine that these activities violated applicable laws and regulations, the Company or its Subsidiaries may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, including fines and/or suspension of the privilege to engage in trading activities involving goods, software and technology subject to the U.S. jurisdiction. At this time, it is not possible to determine the outcome of this matter, or the significance, if any, to our business, financial condition and result of operations.

The Company received an inquiry from the Criminal Investigation Department, Compliance and Enforcement Group of the Nigerian Federal Inland Revenue Service regarding certain of its agreements with Aero Contractors Company of Nigeria Limited. The Company is unable to estimate the likelihood and magnitude of any losses at this time.

Brazilian tax authorities have claimed against the Company for forfeiture of a helicopter (valued at $10.0 million) as a result of allegations that the Company violated Brazilian customs law by failing to ensure it followed proper customs laws for the transport of helicopters. The Company is unable to estimate the amount of any possible losses and has instituted legal proceedings in Brazil against its customs agent for any damages ultimately suffered.

A Brazilian subsidiary of the Company recently received notice from the Brazilian tax authorities claiming that it may not have been eligible for certain tax benefits that it had claimed in the past in connection with the importation of aircraft, parts and tooling and that obligations of between $0 and $18 million in additional taxes, interest and penalties may be due. In cooperation with legal counsel and tax advisors, the Company believes that based on its interpretation of tax legislation and well established aviation industry practice, the Company is in compliance with all applicable tax legislation and plan to defend this claim vigorously. At this time, it is not possible to determine the outcome of this matter and the Company believes it will take considerable time to resolve this matter in Brazil.

The Borrower agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
