Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the sum of: (x) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Facility Agent and PMI as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for syndicated credit facilities denominated in Euro at such time and (y) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

If the Benchmark Replacement would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected by the Facility Agent and PMI giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in Euro at such time.

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(c)          a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks.

2.             AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

2.1.

The Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in an aggregate amount outstanding not to exceed at any time such Lend▇▇’▇ Commitment.

2.2.

Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. Maximum Number of Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of no less than €50,000,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof. More than one Borrowing may be incurred on

any date; provided, that at no time shall there be outstanding more than ten Borrowings under this Agreement. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment and subject to this Section 2.2, any Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.2, prepay pursuant to Section 2.11 or repay pursuant to Section 2.4 and reborrow under this Section 2.2.

2.3.

Making the Advances. (a) Notice of Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (London time) (x) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Facility Agent which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by email. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by email, such notice to be in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested:

(i)          date of such Borrowing,

(ii)         aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and

(iii)        the initial Interest Period for each such Advance.

(b)          Funding Advances. Each Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (London time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Facility Agent at the Facility Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lend▇▇’▇ ratable portion of such Borrowing. After receipt of such funds by the Facility Agent and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, the Facility Agent will make such funds available to the relevant Borrower as specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

(c)          Irrevocable Notice. Each Notice of Borrowing of any Borrower shall be irrevocable and binding on such Borrower. The Borrower requesting a Borrowing shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits, indirect losses and special or consequential damages), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d)          Lend▇▇’▇ Ratable Portion. Unless the Facility Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 2:00 P.M. (London time) on the day of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Facility Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Facility Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Facility Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3(b) and the Facility Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower proposing such Borrowing on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Facility Agent such Lender and such Borrower severally agree to repay to the Facility Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent at:

(i)          in the case of such Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Facility Agent in respect of such amount, and

(ii)         in the case of such Lend▇▇, ▇▇e cost of funds incurred by the Facility Agent in respect of such amount.

If such Lender shall repay to the Facility Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e)          Independent Lender Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

2.4.

Repayment of Advances. Each Borrower shall repay to the Facility Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the applicable Termination Date the unpaid principal amount of the Advances then outstanding.

2.5.

Interest on Advances. Subject to Section 2.8, each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing by such Borrower to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) EURIBOR for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (y) the Applicable Interest Rate Margin payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than six months, on the day that occurs during such Interest Period six months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Advance shall be paid in full.

2.6.

Absence of Interest Period for Advances. If any Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of the term “Interest Period,” the Facility Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Lenders and the Interest Period for such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefore, be one month.

2.7.

Interest Rate Determination for Advances. Methods to Determine EURIBOR. The Facility Agent shall determine EURIBOR by using the methods described in the definition of the term “EURIBOR”, and shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of such EURIBOR.

2.8.

Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this Section 2.8, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Borrowing:

(i)          the Facility Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining EURIBOR, for such Interest Period (including, because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(ii)         the Facility Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that EURIBOR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Advances included in such Borrowing during such Interest Period;

then the Facility Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower and the Lenders in writing by email as promptly as practicable thereafter and requesting that, until the Facility Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any affected Advance to be continued shall be continued at a rate of interest calculated pursuant to Section 2.8(g), and (B) any Notice of Borrowing for an affected Advance shall be ineffective.

(b)          Benchmark Replacement. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Benchmark Transition Event, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then a Benchmark Replacement as determined in accordance with the definition thereof will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 P.M. (London time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided by the Facility Agent to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement so long as the Facility Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(ii)          At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, PMI or any Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Advances to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until PMI or such Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Facility Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, PMI or such Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to an Advance whose rate of interest is calculated pursuant to Section 2.8(g), mutatis mutandis.

(c)          Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of any Benchmark Replacement, the Facility Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(d)          Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Facility Agent will promptly notify PMI and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, and its Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Facility Agent or, if applicable, PMI or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.8, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.8. For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Facility Agent as set forth in this Section 2.8 may be provided, at the option of the Facility Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Conforming Changes.

(e)          Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Facility Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Facility Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Facility Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f)          Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon PMI’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, during such Benchmark

Unavailability Period (i) the Borrower may revoke any request for an Advance or continuation of any Advance to be made or continued and (ii) the obligations of the Lenders to make additional Advances shall be suspended during any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

(g)          Market Disruption. If the applicable Benchmark is unavailable, provided that no Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, or the Lenders owed or required to lend at least 50.1% of the aggregate principal amount of Advances notify the Facility Agent that EURIBOR for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Advances for such Interest Period (each, a “Market Disruption Event”), then the rate of interest on each Lender’s share of that Advance for the Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which is the sum of (x) the Applicable Interest Rate Margin plus (y) the weighted average of the rates notified to the Facility Agent and the Borrower by each applicable Lender in a certificate of such Lender (each of which sets out the details of the computation of the relevant rate and shall be prima facie non-binding evidence of the same) 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 rate per annum the cost to such Lender of funding its participation in that Advance from whatever source it may reasonably select.

(h)          If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Facility Agent or the applicable Borrower so requires:

(i)          the Facility Agent, PMI and such Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing on a substitute basis for determining the interest rate; and

(ii)         any alternative basis agreed upon pursuant to clause (i) above shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders, PMI and such Borrower, be binding on all such parties hereto.

Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and any additional amounts which such Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 9.4(b).

2.12.

Increased Costs. (a) Costs from Change in Law or Authorities. If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Advances (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.15 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower of the affected Advances shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Facility Agent), pay to the Facility Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to such Borrower and the Facility Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; and, provided, further, that (A) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (B) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented, but only if any such requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directions are generally applicable to

(and for which reimbursement is generally being sought by the applicable Lender in respect of) credit transactions similar to this transaction from borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower, but no Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection therewith.

(b)          Reduction in ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Rate of Return. In the event that, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation, or any guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or the interpretation or administration thereof by any central bank or other authority charged with the administration thereof, imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy, liquidity requirement or similar requirement (including, without limitation, a request or requirement which affects the manner in which any Lender allocates capital resources to its commitments, including its obligations hereunder) and as a result thereof, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder is reduced to a level below that which such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ could have achieved but for such circumstances, but reduced to the extent that Borrowings are outstanding from time to time, then in each such case, upon demand from time to time PMI shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for such reduction in rate of return; provided that, in the case of each Lender, such additional amount or amounts shall not exceed 0.15% per annum of such Lender’s Commitment. A certificate of such Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Except as provided below, in determining any such amount or amounts each Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall take all reasonable actions to avoid the imposition of, or reduce the amounts of, such increased costs, provided that such actions, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender, and, to the extent possible, each Lender will calculate such increased costs based upon the capital requirements for its Commitment hereunder and not upon the average or general capital requirements imposed upon such Lender.

2.13.

Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (a) any Lender shall notify the Facility Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Advances or to fund or maintain Advances or (b) any Lender notifies PMI and the Facility Agent that it is unlawful for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make Advances or to fund or maintain Advances to a Designated Subsidiary due to the jurisdiction of organization of such Designated Subsidiary, then, in each case, the obligation of such Lender to make or maintain, as the case may be, such Advances shall be suspended (and PMI or the applicable Borrower shall make the relevant repayment, if necessary) until the Facility Agent shall notify PMI and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and the relevant aggregate Commitments shall be temporarily reduced by the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of the Commitments affected by such illegality for the duration of the suspension with respect to such Advances; provided, however, that each Lender agrees to (i) use

reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender and (ii) to make or fund Advances to a different Borrower designated by PMI if the making of such designation would allow such Lender to continue to perform its obligations to make Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Advances.

2.14.

Payments and Computations. (a) Time and Distribution of Payments. PMI and each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, without set-off or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the day when due to the Facility Agent at the Facility Agent’s Account in same day funds.

From and after the effective date of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 9.7, the Facility Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the assigning Lender for amounts which have accrued to but excluding the effective date and to the Lender assignee for amounts which have accrued from and after the effective date.

(b)          Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest and commitment and utilization fees shall be made by the Facility Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or commitment or utilization fees are payable. Each determination by the Facility Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)          Payment Due Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment or utilization fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(d)          Presumption of Borrower Payment. Unless the Facility Agent receives notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Facility Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Facility Agent on such date and the Facility Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Facility Agent, each

Lender shall repay to the Facility Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Facility Agent at the cost of funds incurred by the Facility Agent in respect of such amount.

(e)          Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in Section 2.4, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance.

2.15.

Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of each Borrower and PMI hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Lender and the Facility Agent, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be), is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) in the case of each Lender and the Facility Agent, taxes imposed on its net income, franchise taxes imposed on it, and any tax imposed by means of withholding to the extent such tax is imposed solely as a result of a present or former connection (other than any connection arising from the execution, enforcement, delivery and performance of this Agreement or a Note) between such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) and the taxing jurisdiction, (iv) in the case of each Lender and the Facility Agent, taxes imposed by the United States by means of withholding tax if and to the extent that such taxes shall be in effect and shall be applicable on the date hereof to payments to be made to such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or to the Facility Agent and (v) in the case of each Lender and the Facility Agent, any withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).

(b)          If any Borrower or PMI shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Facility Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or PMI shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or PMI shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. If clause (i) of this Section 2.15(b) is unenforceable for any reason in respect of any Borrower, then:

(A)

for each period during which a deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes is required to be made by the Borrower with respect to the

payment of interest under this Agreement (the “Tax Deduction”), in lieu of application of clause (i) of this Section 2.15(b), the rate of interest on the Advances as set out in Section 2.5 shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the aggregate of the applicable:

(i)

Applicable Interest Rate Margin, and

(ii)

EURIBOR,

divided by a factor equal to one (1) minus the amount of the Tax Deduction expressed as a multiplier (i.e., ten (10) percent will be expressed as 0.10 and not as 10%); and

(B)

all references to a rate of interest under Section 2.5 shall be construed thereafter as adjusted in accordance with this Section 2.15(b).

(c)          In addition, each Borrower or PMI shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(d)          Each Borrower and PMI shall indemnify each Lender and the Facility Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.15) paid by such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be), and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant governmental authority. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be), makes written demand therefor.

(e)          Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes to a governmental authority, each Borrower and PMI shall furnish to the Facility Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. If any Borrower or PMI determines that no Taxes are payable in respect of any payment hereunder, such Borrower or PMI shall, at the request of the Facility Agent, furnish or cause the payor to furnish to the Facility Agent and each Lender an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Facility Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Facility Agent for (i) any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent the Borrower has not already indemnified the Facility Agent for such taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) and (ii) any taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.7(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, that are paid or payable by the Facility Agent in

connection with this Agreement and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings or liabilities were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.15(e) shall be paid within ten days after the Facility Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings or liabilities so paid or payable by the Facility Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f)          Each Lender, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance or Lender Joinder Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, shall provide the Facility Agent, PMI and each other Borrower with any form or certificate that is required by any taxing authority (including, if applicable, two executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, if applicable), W-8ECI or W-8IMY (together with any underlying attachments), as appropriate, or any substitute, successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service), certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes on payments pursuant to this Agreement. Thereafter, each such Lender shall provide additional forms or certificates (i) to the extent a form or certificate previously provided has become inaccurate or invalid or has otherwise ceased to be effective or (ii) as requested in writing by any Borrower, PMI or the Facility Agent. Unless the Borrowers, PMI and the Facility Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes or are subject to Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, such Borrowers, PMI or the Facility Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Lender.

(g)          Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to select or change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a selection or change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise economically disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h)          (i)            Subject to clause (iii) below, each party to this Agreement shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another party to this Agreement:

(A)

confirm for the requesting party whether it is or is not a FATCA Exempt Party; and

(B)

supply to the requesting party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as such requesting party reasonably requests for the purposes of its compliance with any other law, regulation or exchange of information regime;

(ii)          If a party to this Agreement confirms to a requesting party to this Agreement pursuant to clause (i)(A) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall notify the requesting party thereof reasonably promptly;

(iii)          Clause (i) above shall not oblige any Finance Party to do anything, and clause (i)(B) above shall not oblige any other party to do anything, which would or might, in its reasonable opinion, constitute a breach of any (x) law or regulation, (y) fiduciary duty or (z) duty of confidentiality.

(iv)          If a party to this Agreement fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with clause (i) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where clause (iii) above applies), then such party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(v)         (A)             Each party to this Agreement may make any FATCA Deduction and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(B)

Each Finance Party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the party to whom it is making the payment and, in addition, shall notify PMI and the Facility Agent and the Facility Agent shall notify the other Finance Parties.

Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(i)           No additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 with respect to (i) any Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that would not have been payable had the Lender provided the relevant forms or other documents pursuant to Section 2.15(f); or (ii) in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance by a Lender to an Eligible Assignee, any Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that exceed the amount of such Home Jurisdiction Withholding Taxes that are imposed prior to such Assignment and Acceptance, unless such Assignment and Acceptance resulted from the demand of PMI.

(j)           No additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.15 with respect to any taxes imposed by the United States by means of withholding tax on payments made by any Borrower to any Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or to the Facility Agent, even if such taxes are imposed as a result of the treatment of payments made by a Borrower that

is not organized under the laws of the United States as having been made by a United States Person for United States federal income tax purposes, including as a result of an election made to treat such Borrower as a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes (regardless of whether such election was made after such Borrower became a Borrower under this Agreement), if and to the extent such taxes were in effect and would have been applicable as of the date hereof to payments to be made by a United States Person to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Applicable Lending Office or to the Facility Agent (as the case may be).

(k)          If any Lender or the Facility Agent, as the case may be, obtains a refund of any Tax for which payment has been made pursuant to this Section 2.15, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or the Facility Agent, as the case may be, (and without any obligation to disclose its tax records) is allocable to such payment made under this Section 2.15, the amount of such refund (together with any interest received thereon and reduced by reasonable costs incurred in obtaining such refund) promptly shall be paid to the applicable Borrower to the extent payment has been made in full by such Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15.

(l)

(i)

All amounts expressed to be payable under this Agreement by any party to the Facility Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any Obligation of any Borrower hereunder (each, a “Finance Party”) which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to clause (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any party under this Agreement and such Finance Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party must pay to such Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Finance Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that party under this Agreement).

(ii)

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

(A)

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

(B)

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

Any reference in this clause ‎(l) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the UK Value Added Tax Act 1994).

(v)

In relation to any supply made by a Finance Party to any party under this Agreement, if reasonably requested by such Finance Party, that party must promptly provide such Finance Party with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Finance Party’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

2.16.

Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.15 or 9.4(b)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, provided further, that, so long as the obligations under this Agreement and the Notes shall not have been accelerated, any excess payment received by any Lender shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with the other Lenders. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.17.

Evidence of Debt. (a) Lender Records; Notes. 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 Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. Each Borrower shall, upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Facility Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Revolving Commitment of such Lender.

(b)          Record of Borrowings, Payables and Payments. The Register maintained by the Facility Agent pursuant to Section 9.7(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded as follows:

(i)          the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder and the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(ii)         the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it;

(iii)        the terms of each Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to it;

(iv)        the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder; and

(v)         the amount of any sum received by the Facility Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and each ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share thereof.

(c)          Evidence of Payment Obligations. Entries made in good faith by the Facility Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.17(b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.17(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Facility Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement.

2.18.

Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)          fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments pursuant to Section 2.9(a);

(b)          the Defaulting Lender’s Commitments shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.1); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and provided further that in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender solely as the result of a failure to fund pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of the term “Defaulting Lender” and such failure to fund is the subject of a good faith dispute, any waiver, amendment or modification pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or 9.1(d) affecting such Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; and

(c)          any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.16) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing hereunder by such Defaulting Lender to Citi, as Facility Agent, (ii) second, to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Citi, as Facility Agent, and (iii) third, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

In the event that ▇▇▇▇, as Facility Agent, and PMI both agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall (i) purchase at par such portion of the Advances of the other Lenders as Citi, as Facility Agent, shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such

Advances ratably in accordance with its respective Commitment and (ii) cease to be a Defaulting Lender.

2.19.

Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and each Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) for general corporate purposes, including to meet working capital requirements of PMI and its Subsidiaries. Neither Agent nor any Lender is bound to monitor or verify the application of any amount borrowed pursuant to this Agreement.

2.20.

Extension Option.

(a)          The Borrower may request an extension of the Maturity Date for additional one year periods (each, an “Extended Maturity Date”); provided that the Borrower (i) provides written notice requesting the extension to the Facility Agent not less than 25 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary or second anniversary of the Effective Date of the Facility, as applicable and (ii) delivers to the Facility Agent a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer certifying (A) a copy of the resolutions of the Borrower’s Board of Directors approving the Extended Maturity Date, (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (C) no more than two extension requests shall be made. The Facility Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders of such request. Each Lender will respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively, as it may elect in its sole discretion, within ten Business Days of such notice to the Facility Agent. The Commitments of those Lenders which have responded affirmatively shall be extended, subject to receipt by the Facility Agent of counterparts of an Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto (the “Extension Agreement”) duly completed and signed by the Borrower, the Facility Agent and all of the Lenders which have responded affirmatively. No extension of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20(a) shall be legally binding on any party hereto unless and until such Extension Agreement is so executed and delivered by the Required Lenders.

(b)          If any Lender rejects, or is deemed to have rejected, the Borrower’s request to extend its Commitment (each, a “Non-Extending Lender”), (i) this Agreement shall terminate on the Maturity Date or the initial Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, with respect to such Non-Extending Lender (provided that such Non-Extending Lender’s rights under Sections 2.12, 2.15 and 9.4 and obligations under Section 9.12 shall survive the Maturity Date or the initial Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, as to matters occurring prior to such date), (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on the Maturity Date or the initial Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, any amounts due and payable hereunder to such Lender on such date and (iii) the Borrower may, if it so elects, designate a Person to become a Lender after consultation with the Facility Agent, or agree with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased (each, an “Assuming Lender”), in each case to assume, effective as of the Maturity Date or the initial Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, any Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitments and all of the obligations of such Non-Extending Lenders under this Agreement thereafter arising relating to such Commitments, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to such Non-Extending Lenders; provided that any such designation or agreement may not increase the aggregate

amount of the Commitments under this Facility, except in accordance with Section 2.21. The assumptions provided for in this Section 2.20(b) shall be subject to the conditions that:

(i)          the Assuming Lenders shall have paid to the Non-Extending Lenders the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest and fees accrued and unpaid up to but excluding the Maturity Date or the initial Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, on the outstanding Advances, if any, of the Non-Extending Lenders under their respective Commitments being assumed;

(ii)         all additional costs, reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities due and payable to the Non-Extending Lenders in respect of such Commitments shall have been paid by the Borrower; and

(iii)        with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and recordation fee required under Section 9.7(a) for such assignment shall have been paid by the Assuming Lender (or, if it has been so agreed, by the Borrower);

On or prior to the Maturity Date or the initial Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, (A) each Assuming Lender that is not an existing Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Facility Agent an Assignment and Acceptance or such other agreement acceptable to the Borrower and the Facility Agent and (B) any existing Lender assuming any Commitments shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Facility Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment. Upon execution and delivery of the documentation pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) and the Extension Agreement pursuant to Section 2.20(a), the payment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i) through (iii) above, and subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act or any similar “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations with respect to Assuming Lenders that are not existing Lenders, the Assuming Lenders, as of the Maturity Date or the initial Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, will be substituted for the Non-Extending Lenders under this Agreement to the extent of their assumed Commitments and shall be Lenders for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of the Non-Extending Lenders to such extent hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.

2.21.

Increase Option. (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time, upon prior written notice by PMI to the Facility Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), increase the Commitments by a maximum aggregate amount of up to €187,500,000 with additional Commitments from any existing Lender or from any other Eligible Assignee selected and approved by PMI after consultation with the Facility Agent; provided that:

(i)          any such increase shall be in a principal amount of €93,750,000, except to the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase permitted under this Section 2.21;

(ii)         no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at the time of any such increase;

(iii)        no existing Lender shall be under any obligation to increase its Commitment and any such decision whether to increase its Commitment shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; and

(iv)        as a condition precedent to such increase, PMI shall deliver to the Facility Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of Increase Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (x) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1 (except the representations set forth in the last sentence of subsection (e) and in subsection (f) thereof (other than clause (i) thereof)) are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b)          Any such increase in Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Lender Joinder Agreements or such other agreement acceptable to the Borrower and the Facility Agent executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Facility Agent and the increasing Lenders and/or additional Lenders, as applicable (the date on which such Lender Joinder Agreement(s) are delivered, the “Increase Effective Date”). The Lender Joinder Agreement(s) may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Facility Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.

(c)          On each Increase Effective Date, if there are Advances then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Advances in full (and pay any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 9.4(b) in connection therewith) and the Borrower may, in its option, fund such prepayment by simultaneously borrowing Advances, which Advances shall be made by the Lenders (including the increasing and/or additional Lenders), it being understood that after giving effect to such prepayments and borrowings, all Advances will be held ratably by the Lenders (including the increasing Lenders and/or additional Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments after giving effect to the applicable increase in Commitments).

3.             CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS AND LENDING

3.1.

7.4.

Lender Credit Decision.

other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Facility Agent, any Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, the Coordinators or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

(b)          If the Facility Agent (x) notifies a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Facility Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Facility Agent or any of its affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Facility Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 7.4 and held in trust for the benefit of the Facility Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Facility Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Facility Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Facility Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Facility Agent in same day funds at the greater of EURIBOR for an Interest Period of one month and a rate determined by the Facility Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Facility Agent to any Payment Recipient under this Section 7.4(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)          Without limiting Section 7.4(b), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Facility Agent (or any of its affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Facility Agent (or any of its affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Facility Agent (or any of its affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:

(i)          it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of Section 7.4(c)(x) or Section 7.4(c)(y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Facility Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of Section 7.4(c)(z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii)         such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in Section 7.4(c)(x), Section 7.4(c)(y) and Section 7.4(c)(z)) notify the Facility Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Facility Agent pursuant to this Section 7.4(c).

(d)          Each Lender hereby authorizes the Facility Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement and any document related hereto, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Facility Agent to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Facility Agent has demanded to be returned under Section 7.4(b).

(e)          (i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Facility Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with Section 7.4(b), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Facility Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Facility Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Facility Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with PMI and any Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to PMI, any Borrower or the Facility Agent (but the failure of such Lender to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Facility Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Facility Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, and (D) the Facility Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and will provide PMI written notice of such assignment. For the avoidance of

doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)         Subject to Section 9.7, the Facility Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Facility Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Facility Agent has sold an Advance (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and irrespective of whether the Facility Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Facility Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under this Agreement with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency Assignment.

The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by PMI or any Borrower; except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Facility Agent from PMI or any Borrower for the purpose of making the payment of such Obligations, provided that this Section 7.4 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of PMI or any Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Facility Agent.

(f)           To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Facility Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g)          Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under Section 7.4(b) through (f) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Facility Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under this Agreement.

7.5.

Indemnification. (a) The Lenders agree to indemnify the Facility Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by PMI or the Borrowers), from and against such Lender’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Facility Agent in

any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Facility Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Facility Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Facility Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Facility Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Facility Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by PMI or the Borrowers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.5 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Facility Agent, any Lender or a third party. For purposes of this Section 7.5(a), the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective aggregate Commitments at such time.

7.6.

Successor Facility Agent.

(a)          The Facility Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and PMI and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor facility agent. If no successor facility agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Facility Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Facility Agent, then the retiring Facility Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor facility agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as facility agent hereunder by a successor facility agent, such successor facility agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Facility Agent, and the retiring Facility Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Facility Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Facility Agent, the provisions of this Article 7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Facility Agent under this Agreement.

(b)          The Facility Agent shall resign in accordance with clause (a) above (and, to the extent applicable, shall use reasonable endeavors to appoint a successor facility agent pursuant to clause (a) above) if either:

(i)          the Facility Agent fails to respond to a request under Section 2.15(h) or a Lender reasonably believes that the Facility Agent is not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii)         the information supplied by the Facility Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(h) indicates that the Facility Agent is not a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(iii)        the Facility Agent notifies PMI and the Lenders that the Facility Agent is not a FATCA Exempt Party;

and, in each case, PMI or a Lender reasonably believes that a party will be required to make a FATCA Deduction that would not be required if the Facility Agent were a FATCA Exempt Party, and PMI or such Lender, by notice to the Facility Agent, requires it to resign.

7.7.

Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners. Certain entities have been designated as Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, in connection with this Agreement, but the use of such titles does not impose on any of them any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender.

7.8.

(c)          The Facility Agent, the Coordinators and each Mandated Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Advances, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other document related hereto (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Advances or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Advances or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, any document related hereto or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, facility agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

8.             GUARANTY

8.1.

Guaranty. PMI hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the undertaking of PMI contained in this Article 8 being the “Guaranty”) the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of each Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Obligations”), and any and all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Facility Agent or the Lenders in enforcing any rights under the Guaranty.

8.2.

Guaranty Absolute. PMI guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Facility Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of PMI under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a)          any lack of validity, enforceability or genuineness of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b)          any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement;

(c)          any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or

(d)          any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Borrower or PMI.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Facility Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

8.3.

Waivers. (a) PMI hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Facility Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against a Borrower or any other Person or any collateral.

(b)          PMI hereby irrevocably waives any claims or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of PMI’s obligations under this Guaranty or this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Facility Agent or any Lender against such Borrower or any collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from such Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right. If any amount shall be paid to PMI in violation of the preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the cash payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Facility Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Facility Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with

the terms of this Agreement and this Guaranty, or to be held as collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the appropriate Borrower or PMI, as the case may be, after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and its affiliates under this Section 9.5 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its affiliates may have.

9.6.

Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of PMI, the Facility Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither any Borrower nor PMI shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

(iv)        each such assignment made as a result of a demand by PMI pursuant to this Section 9.7(a) shall be arranged by PMI after consultation with the Facility Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments which together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement;

(v)         no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by PMI pursuant to this Section 9.7(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrowers to which it has outstanding Advances or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement; and

(vi)        the parties to each such assignment shall execute and the assigning Lender shall, not less than five Business Days prior to the effectiveness of any Assignment and Acceptance, deliver to the Facility Agent which shall give prompt notice thereof to PMI by email, for the Facility Agent’s acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of €2,000 for Commitments (payable by the assignee unless otherwise agreed); provided that, if such assignment is made as a result of a demand

by PMI under this Section 9.7(a), PMI shall pay or cause to be paid such €2,000 fee.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than those provided under Section 9.4) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto), other than Section 9.12.

(b)          Assignment and Acceptance. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or PMI or the performance or observance by any Borrower or PMI of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.1(e) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Facility Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee represents that (A) the source of any funds it is using to acquire the assigning Lender’s interest or to make any Advance is not and will not be plan assets as defined under the Department of Labor Plan Asset Regulations (Section 2510.3-101 of Part 2510 of Chapter XXV, Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as amended by Section 3(42) of ERISA and as may be further amended) or (B) the assignment or Advance is not and will not be a non-exempt prohibited transaction as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c) of the Internal Revenue Code; (vii) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Facility Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement as are delegated to the Facility Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (viii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the

obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c)          Facility Agent’s Acceptance. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Facility Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto and if the Facility Agent has received all requested documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to PMI.

(d)          Register. The Facility Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it or any Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and PMI, the Borrowers, the Facility Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by PMI or any Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)          Sale of Participation. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Qualifying Banks in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it), subject to the following:

(i)          such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to PMI hereunder) shall remain unchanged,

(ii)         such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,

(iii)        PMI, the other Borrowers, the Facility Agent 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, and

(iv)        no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower or PMI therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of

principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Facility Agent (in its capacity as Facility Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f)           Disclosure of Information. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.7, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to PMI or any Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of PMI or any Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to PMI received by it from such Lender by signing a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H.

(g)          Regulation A Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank in accordance with Regulation A.

9.8.

Designated Subsidiaries. (a) Designation. PMI may at any time, and from time to time, by delivery to the Facility Agent of a Designation Agreement duly executed by PMI and the respective Subsidiary and substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, designate such Subsidiary as a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement and such Subsidiary shall thereupon become a “Designated Subsidiary” for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder. The Facility Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each such designation by PMI and the identity of the respective Subsidiary.

(b)          Termination. Upon the payment and performance in full of all of the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement of any Designated Subsidiary then, so long as at the time no Notice of Borrowing in respect of such Designated Subsidiary is outstanding, such Subsidiary’s status as a “Designated Subsidiary” shall terminate upon notice to such effect from the Facility Agent to the Lenders (which notice the Facility Agent shall give promptly, and only upon its receipt of a request therefor from PMI). Thereafter, the Lenders shall be under no further obligation to make any Advance hereunder to such former Designated Subsidiary until such time as it has been redesignated a Designated Subsidiary by PMI pursuant to Section 9.8(a).

(c)          In connection with an Advance or Advances made to a particular Designated Subsidiary, each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to nominate an affiliate to fund such Advance on its behalf, in each case, upon notice to the Facility Agent and PMI and subject to receipt by the Facility Agent of all requested documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations; provided that PMI shall not incur or be responsible for any additional costs or expenses as a result of the nomination of or funding of such Advance by such affiliate.

9.9.

9.11.

Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Each of the parties hereto 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 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 any such New York state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Borrower (other than PMI) hereby agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding brought in any such New York state court or in such federal court may be made upon PMI at 677 Washington Blvd., Suite 1100, Stamford, Connecticut 06901, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or such other address in the United States as notified to the Facility Agent from time to time (the “Process Agent”), and each Designated Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints the Process Agent its authorized agent to accept such service of process, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Each Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at its address specified pursuant to Section 9.2. 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 party may otherwise have to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Notes in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b)          PMI as Process Agent. PMI hereby accepts its appointment as Process Agent and agrees that (i) it will maintain an office in Stamford, Connecticut, or such other address in the United States as notified to the Facility Agent from time to time, through the Termination Date and will give the Facility Agent prompt notice of any change of its address, (ii) it will perform its duties as Process Agent to receive on behalf of each Designated Subsidiary and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding in any New York State or federal court sitting in New York City arising out of or relating to this Agreement and (iii) it will forward forthwith to each Designated Subsidiary at its then current address copies of any summons, complaint and other process which PMI receives in connection with its appointment as Process Agent.

(c)          Waivers. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that 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 Notes 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. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that it now has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States of America or elsewhere, arising out of this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought by any of the parties hereto or their successors or assigns, including without limitation immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution or enforcement of a judgment and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, it hereby expressly and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any such immunity and such waiver shall be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal in any jurisdiction, including without limitation under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding related to this Agreement or any other related documents.

9.12.

Confidentiality. None of the Facility Agent, the Coordinators, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners nor any Lender shall disclose any confidential information relating to PMI or any Borrower to any other Person without the consent of PMI, other than (a) to the Facility Agent’s, the Coordinators’ or such Lender’s affiliates, branches and representative offices in any jurisdiction and their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, auditors, insurers and, as contemplated by Section 9.7(f), actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then, in each such case, only on a confidential basis; provided, however, that such actual or prospective assignee or participant shall have been made aware of this Section 9.12 and shall have agreed to be bound by its provisions as if it were a party to this Agreement, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c) as requested or required by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner

regulating banks or banking or other financial institutions, and (d) to any rating agency that provides ratings of such Lender or its affiliates.

9.13.

Integration. This Agreement and the Notes represent the agreement of PMI, the other Borrowers, the Facility Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Facility Agent, PMI, the other Borrowers or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the Notes other than the matters referred to in Sections 2.9(b) and 9.4(a) and except for Confidentiality Agreements entered into by each Lender in connection with this Agreement.

9.15.

Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into Euro, or to convert a sum due hereunder in Euro into Dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the Equivalent thereof on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b)          The obligation of any Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in Euro (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Facility Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Facility Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the applicable Borrower such excess.

9.16.

(i)          a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)         a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement; or

(iii)        the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any Resolution Authority.
