the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 6.01 with respect to U.S. Revolving Loans made by such U.S. Lender (and Section 6.01 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the U.S. Lenders), and the General Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the U.S. Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the General Administrative Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the General Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that U.S. Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such U.S. Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a U.S. Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of U.S. Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Each applicable Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 4.01 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender, the General Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuing Lender, the Lenders, the General Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 4.01, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Neither the General Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender nor any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or

failure to make any payment thereunder, including any of the circumstances specified in clauses (i) through (vi) above, as well as any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to such Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise the agreed standard of care (as set forth below) in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that the Issuing Lender shall have exercised the agreed standard of care in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the General Administrative Agent and such Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the U.S. Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse (including with the proceeds of Loans as provided in Section 4.01(e)) such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement at the rate per annum specified in Section 6.08(a); provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse (including with the proceeds of Loans as provided in Section 4.01(e)) such LC, Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 4.01, then Section 6.08(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any U.S. Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 4.01 to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such U.S. Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the General Administrative Agent and the Company, and may be removed at any time by the Company by notice to the

Issuing Lender and the General Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Lender hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Lender and the retiring Issuing Lender shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder. At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Company shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 6.07(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Company and the General Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation or removal of the Issuing Lender hereunder, the retiring Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

Swingline Loans

SECTION 5.01. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans under the U.S. Commitments to the U.S. Borrowers or any Borrowing Subsidiary from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000, (ii) the sum of the total U.S. Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total U.S. Commitments or (iii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the total Competitive Loan Exposures exceeding the total Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.S. Borrowers or any Borrowing Subsidiary may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than $100,000. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, a U.S. Borrower or the Company (on behalf of any Borrowing Subsidiary) shall notify the General Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The General Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from such U.S. Borrower or the Company (on behalf of any Borrowing Subsidiary). The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to such Borrower by means of a

credit to the general deposit account of such Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 4.01, by remittance to the Issuing Lender) by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the General Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the U.S. Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which U.S. Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the General Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each U.S. Lender, specifying in such notice such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each U.S. Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the General Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each U.S. Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each U.S. Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 6.01 with respect to U.S. Revolving Loans made by such U.S. Lender (and Section 6.01 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the U.S. Lenders), and the General Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the U.S. Lenders. The General Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the General Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from a Borrower (or other party on behalf of such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the General Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the General Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the General Administrative Agent to the U.S. Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

ARTICLE VI

General Provisions Applicable to Loans

SECTION 6.01. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable Currency to the account of the Applicable Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, by 2:00 p.m., Local Time or, in the case of any Japanese Revolving Loan by 12:00 noon, Local Time. The Applicable Administrative Agent will make Loans available to the applicable

Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower maintained with the Applicable Administrative Agent in (i) New York City with respect to Loans made in Dollars, (ii) London with respect to Loans made in a Committed Currency and (iii) Tokyo with respect to Loans made in Japanese Yen, as the case may be. If a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(b) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 6.01 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to such Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then the Applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (A) in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of Borrowings denominated in any Alternate Currency, the interest rate reasonably determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent to reflect its cost of funds for the amount advanced by such Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate on the applicable Borrowing; provided that no repayment by such Borrower pursuant to this sentence shall be deemed to be a prepayment for purposes of Section 6.11. If such Lender pays such amount to the Applicable Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 6.02. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower or the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The applicable Borrower or the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Competitive Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower or the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) shall notify the Applicable Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the applicable Borrower or the Company (on its own behalf or

on behalf of any other Borrower) were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election; provided that an Interest Election Request delivered not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Restatement Date in respect of the conversion of an ABR Borrowing to a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be effective on the second Business Day after the Restatement Date. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Applicable Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Applicable Administrative Agent and signed by the Company or the Applicable Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03:

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

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

(iii) in the case of Borrowings denominated in Dollars, whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower or the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Company or the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be (i) converted to an ABR Borrowing if it is denominated in Dollars or (ii) continued as such with an Interest Period of one month if it is denominated in an Alternate Currency.

SECTION 6.03. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of a Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be

in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000 and (ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments of such Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans of such Class, (i) the outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of such Class would exceed the Commitment of such Class or (ii) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures plus the Competitive Loan Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

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

SECTION 6.04. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each of the U.S. Borrowers and each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the General Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Lender (i) on the Maturity Date, the then unpaid principal amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans of such Lender and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan made by such U.S. Lender to such Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

(b) Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Japanese Administrative Agent for the account of each Japanese Lender (i) on the Maturity Date, the then unpaid principal amount of its Japanese Revolving Loans and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan made by such Japanese Lender to such Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

(c) Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the European Administrative Agent for the account of each Multicurrency Lender (i) on the Maturity Date, the then unpaid principal amount of its Multicurrency Revolving Loans and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan made by such Multicurrency Lender to such Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

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

(e) Each Administrative Agent shall maintain a Register pursuant to subsection 13.04(d) and an account for each applicable Lender in which it shall record (i) the

amount of each Loan made hereunder and any promissory note evidencing such Loan, the Class and Type thereof (and, in the case of an Alternate Currency Loan, the Currency) and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by such Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(g) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the General Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its assigns).

SECTION 6.05. Increase in Commitments. (a) The Company may, by written notice to the General Administrative Agent from time to time (which notice the General Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to the Lenders), request that the Commitment of any Class be increased by an amount not to exceed the Incremental Facility Amount at such time. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Facility Amount), the Class or Classes of the requested increase and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be on or prior to the Maturity Date), and shall offer each Lender of the affected Class the opportunity to increase its Commitment by its Applicable Percentage of such Class of the proposed increased amount. Each Lender of the affected Class shall, by notice to the Company and the General Administrative Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of the General Administrative Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Lender”) or decline to increase its Commitment (and any Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment) (each Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Lender”). In the event that, on the 10th day after the General Administrative Agent’s notice, the Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase requested by the Company, the Company may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an “Augmenting Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Commitments or increase their existing Commitments of the affected Class in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided that each

Augmenting Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agents (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Borrowers and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the General Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Commitment and/or its status as a Lender hereunder. Any increase in the Commitments of any Class may be made in an amount which is less than the increase requested by the Company if the Company is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Lenders.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agents may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments of any Class pursuant to Section 6.05(a), the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) of such Class are held by the Lenders in accordance with their new Applicable Percentages of such Class. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the General Administrative Agent (i) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Borrowing of such Class, (ii) by causing Non-Increasing Lenders to assign (at par, with accrued interest and fees) portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans of the affected Class to Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders, or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 6.11, but otherwise without premium or penalty.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the total Commitment shall become effective under this Section 6.05 unless, (i) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (c) and (d) of Section 8.02 shall be satisfied and the General Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by the President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Company, and (ii) the General Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and certificates consistent with those delivered on the Restatement Date under paragraphs (b) and (e) of Section 8.01.

SECTION 6.06. Prepayment of Loans. (a) A Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that no Borrower shall have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior consent of the Lender thereof.

(b) A Borrower shall notify the General Administrative Agent and the Applicable Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of any Commitments as contemplated by Section 6.03, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 6.03. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof.

Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Commitment and Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 6.08.

(c) If on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company for any reason the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures plus the total Competitive Loan Exposures exceeds the total Commitments then in effect by more than 5%, the Borrowers shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after learning thereof, or, as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after the request of the General Administrative Agent, prepay Revolving Loans and cancel or reduce Letters of Credit, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the excess over the total Commitments.

(d) If on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company for any reason the sum of the total Japanese Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Japanese Commitments then in effect by more than 5%, the Borrowers shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after learning thereof, or, as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after the request of the General Administrative Agent, immediately prepay Japanese Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the excess over the Japanese Commitments.

(e) If on the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company for any reason the sum of the total Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the total Multicurrency Commitments then in effect by more than 5%, the Borrowers shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after learning thereof, or as soon as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after the request of the General Administrative Agent, prepay Multicurrency Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of the excess over the Multicurrency Commitments.

(f) The Company and the other Borrowers will use reasonable efforts to implement and maintain internal controls to monitor the Borrowings and repayments, with the object of preventing any request for a Borrowing that would cause conditions specified in the first sentence of each of Sections 2.01(a), (b) and (c) not to be satisfied.

(g) The Administrative Agents shall not be obligated to calculate the Dollar Equivalent of any Alternate Currency but may do so from time to time in their sole discretion.

SECTION 6.07. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the General Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the facility fee rate set forth in the Pricing Grid from time to time on the daily amount of the Commitments of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Restatement Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitments terminate; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitments terminate, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitments terminate to

but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Date; provided that any facility fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agents, for their own account, the administrative, auction and other fees separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agents (collectively, the “Administrative Fees”).

(c) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the General Administrative Agent for the account of each U.S. Lender (including the Issuing Lender) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to interest on Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such U.S. Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Date to but excluding the date on which such U.S. Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Date to but excluding the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the U.S. Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the U.S. Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable promptly after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the General Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 6.08. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Loan, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive Loan, at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in

effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Competitive Loan Margin applicable to such Loan.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at time when the Alternate Base Rate is based on clause (a) of the first sentence of the definition of Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the General Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Japanese Revolving Loans to be made on the Restatement Date in Japanese Yen will bear interest at the Yen Overnight Rate (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and excluding the last) in a 365 day year) until such Japanese Revolving Loans are converted into one or more Eurocurrency Borrowings with Interest Periods commencing on the second Business Day after the Restatement Date. Such Interest Periods shall be specified in an Interest Election Request delivered not later than 12:00 p.m. noon, Local Time, on the Restatement Date. Interest accrued on such Japanese Revolving Loans prior to the commencement of such Interest Period shall be payable on the second Business Day after the Restatement Date. The Japanese Borrower shall notify the Japanese Administrative Agent and the General Administrative Agent of its borrowing request (by telephone, with such telephonic borrowing request confirmed promptly in writing substantially in the form of Exhibit A-5) for such Japanese Revolving Loans not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Restatement Date.

SECTION 6.09. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(a) the General Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant Currency for such Interest Period; or

(b) the General Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the General Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Borrower) and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the General Administrative Agent notifies the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of the applicable Borrower) and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing, if denominated in Dollars, shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and, if denominated in any Alternate Currency, shall be made as a Borrowing bearing interest at an interest rate reasonably determined by the General Administrative Agent to compensate the applicable Lenders for such Borrowing in such Currency for the applicable period and (iii) any request by the Company (on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Borrower) or any other Borrower for a Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Company for Eurocurrency Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowing, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

SECTION 6.10. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except for any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender, the London interbank market, the Tokyo interbank market or any other interbank market relevant to the funding of Loans in Alternate Currencies any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or Fixed Rate Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit by an amount deemed by such

Lender to be material or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 6.11. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 6.06(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the failure to borrow any

Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan or (e) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by any Borrower pursuant to Section 6.14, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the present value of the excess, if any, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, refinanced or not borrowed (assumed to be the Eurocurrency Rate applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, refinancing or failure to borrow or refinance to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or refinance the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or refinanced for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 6.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments to the Lenders or the Administrative Agents hereunder by a Borrower or on behalf of any Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined in Section (b) below), excluding (i) Taxes imposed on any Administrative Agent or any Lender (or participant) as a result of a present or former connection between such Administrative Agent or such Lender (or participant) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than as a result of entering into this Agreement, performing any obligations hereunder, receiving any payments hereunder or enforcing any rights hereunder) and (ii) any Taxes that are attributable solely to the failure of any Lender to comply with Section 6.12 (g) or 6.12 (h) (all such nonexcluded Taxes or Other Taxes, collectively or individually, “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If the relevant Borrower shall be required to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or any Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “Additional Amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to Additional Amounts payable under this Section 6.12) such Lender or such Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the relevant Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the relevant Borrower (or the Guarantors, as applicable) shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, intangibles or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document that are

imposed by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction in which the relevant Borrower (or Guarantor, as applicable) is incorporated, organized, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat or otherwise has a connection (other than as a result of entering into this Agreement, performing any obligations hereunder, making any payments hereunder or enforcing any rights hereunder (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The relevant Borrower (or Guarantor, as applicable) shall indemnify each Lender (or participant) and each Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes paid by such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a Lender, or an Administrative Agent on its behalf and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount shall have been determined, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor, which written demand shall be made within 60 days of the date such Lender or Administrative Agent receives written demand for payment of such Non-Excluded Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d) If a Lender (or participant) or an Administrative Agent receives a refund, which in its reasonable judgment is in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the relevant Borrower or with respect to which the relevant Borrower has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 6.12, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the relevant Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or Additional Amounts paid, by the relevant Borrower under this Section 6.12 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the relevant Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(e) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Non-Excluded Taxes by the relevant Borrower to the relevant Governmental Authority, the relevant Borrower will deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 13.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 6.12 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.

(g) Each Lender (or participant) that is not a United States Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent two copies of either (i) United States Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or W8ECI or any subsequent or substitute versions thereof or successors thereto or (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871 (h) or 881 (c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent or substitute versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8BEN pursuant to this clause (ii), a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code)), in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Company under this Agreement. Each Lender (or participant) that is a U.S. Person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent two copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any subsequent or substitute versions thereof or successors thereto, certifying that such Lender (or participant) is entitled to a complete exemption from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax on payments made pursuant to this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on or before the date such participant becomes a participant hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”), unless each of the applicable lending office prior to such designation and the New Lending Office are located within the United States. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.12(g), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 6.12(g) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(h) A Lender (or participant) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower (other than the Company) is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement, shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender (or participant) is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender (or participant).

(i) The relevant Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, or to pay any Additional Amounts to any Lender, in respect of any withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to such withholding tax was in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Lender on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on the date such participant became a participant hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan or, with

respect to payments by a Borrower pursuant to a Competitive Loan, as of the date the Company accepts a Competitive Bid pursuant to Section 3.01(d); provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Lender (or participant) if the assignment, participation, transfer or designation of a New Lending Office was made at the request of the relevant Borrower; and provided further, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply (x) to the extent the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts any Lender (or participant) would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts that the Lender (or participant) making the assignment, participation, transfer or designation of such New Lending Office would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation or (y) to the extent the obligation to withhold such amounts is an obligation of, or an obligation in respect of payments made by, a Borrowing Subsidiary that becomes a Borrowing Subsidiary after the Restatement Date, or (ii) the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender (or participant) to comply with the provisions of paragraph (g) or (h) of this Section 6.12.

(j) Any Lender (or participant) claiming any indemnity payment or Additional Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the relevant Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or Additional Amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender (or participant), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or participant).

(k) Nothing contained in this Section 6.12 shall require any Lender (or participant) or any Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).

SECTION 6.13. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 6.10, 6.11 or 6.12, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., Local Time or, in the case of any Japanese Revolving Loan, by 12:00 noon Local Time at the place of payment, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Applicable Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Applicable Administrative Agent at its offices referred to in Section 13.01, or such other location as such Administrative Agent shall designate from time to time, except that payments pursuant to Sections 6.10, 6.11 or 6.12 and 13.05 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in the Currency in which the applicable payment obligation is due.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Applicable Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal (including reimbursement of LC Disbursements) then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

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

(d) Unless the Applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lenders with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Administrative Agent, (i) if the relevant amount is denominated in Dollars, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) if the relevant amount is denominated in any other Currency, at the interest rate reasonably determined by the Applicable Administrative Agent to reflect the cost of funds for the amount paid by such Administrative Agent on behalf of such Borrower.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 6.01(b) or 6.12(d), then the Applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by such Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 6.14. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.10, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Additional Amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.12, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to file any certificate or document requested by the applicable Borrower (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions), to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such filing, designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.10 or 6.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.10, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.12, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then such Borrower may, upon notice to such Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it and any and all rights and interests related thereto) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agents which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 6.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 6.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.

SECTION 6.15.Restatement Date Borrowings. In order to ensure that the Revolving Loans of each Class to be outstanding on and after the Restatement Date are held by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages of such Class after giving effect to the increase in the Commitments to be effected on the Restatement Date, the Borrowers shall repay and refinance all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with accrued interest thereon to but excluding the Restatement Date, under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Restatement Date with the proceeds of new Revolving Loans under this Agreement. Such repayment shall be subject to Section 6.11 but otherwise without premium or penalty.

With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the U.S. Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the General Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the General Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The General Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the General Administrative Agent and at the U.S. Borrower risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all reimbursement obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the U.S. Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).

The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agents shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by them pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless they shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.

Upon any such resignation of an Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent acceptable to the Company. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 (or any Affiliate of such bank), (i) with, in the case of the U.S. Commitments, an office in New York, New York, (ii) with, in the case of the Japanese Commitments, an office in Tokyo, Japan, or (iii) with, in the case of the Multicurrency Commitments, an office in London.

After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII and Section 13.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

With respect to the Loans made by, or Letters of Credit issued by or participated in by, them hereunder, each Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and such Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Administrative Agents, on demand, in the amount of its Applicable Percentage of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agents, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agents and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of its Applicable

Each Borrower (other than the Company) hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for the purpose of giving on its behalf any notice and taking any other action provided for in this Agreement (whether or

not this Agreement expressly authorizes the Company to take any such action on behalf of such Borrower) and hereby agrees that it shall be bound by any such notice or action given or taken by the Company hereunder irrespective of whether or not any such notice shall have in fact been authorized by such Borrower and irrespective of whether or not the agency provided for herein shall have theretofore been terminated.

SECTION 13.02. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Credit Party herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or the Commitments have not been terminated.

SECTION 13.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Company, the European Borrowers, the Japanese Borrower and the Administrative Agents and when the Administrative Agents shall have received copies hereof (telecopied or otherwise) which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each Lender (after giving effect to the repayment of the Existing Term Loans and any concurrent assignments of Commitments effective on the Restatement Date), and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign any rights hereunder or any interest herein, except in accordance with Section 10.01, without the prior consent of all the Lenders.

SECTION 13.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any party that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit).

(b) Each Lender other than any Conduit Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that, except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (i) each of the Company (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the General Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) the amount of the Commitments of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the General

Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless it shall be the entire amount of such Lender’s Commitments or Loans, as applicable and (iii) an assignment by a Lender of any of its U.S. Commitments shall include an assignment by such Lender of its proportionate interest in LC Exposure. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the General Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that such processing and recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments made by or to Arrangers or their Affiliates. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 13.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 (but shall (i) continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 6.10, 6.11, 6.12 and 13.05, as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid and (ii) continue to be subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender assigning its rights and obligations under this Agreement may retain any Competitive Loans made by it outstanding at such time, and in such case shall retain its rights hereunder in respect of any Loans so retained until such Loans have been repaid in full in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Lender hereunder without the consent of the Company or the General Administrative Agent any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 13.04(b).

For the purpose of this Section 13.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (i) a Lender, (ii) an Affiliate of a Lender or (iii) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, 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 or the financial condition of the Borrowers or the performance or observance by the Borrowers of any obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and

warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 9.03 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; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon any Administrative 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; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the General Administrative Agent, the Japanese Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agents by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) Each of the Administrative Agents shall maintain at its office referred to in Section 13.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and any promissory notes evidencing such Loans (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Company, the other Borrowers, the Administrative Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. No assignment or transfer of any Loan (or portion thereof) or any Note evidencing such Loan shall be effected unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subsection 13.04(d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any assignment or transfer of all or part of a promissory note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the promissory note (and each promissory note shall expressly so provide), accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new promissory notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee and the old promissory notes shall be returned by the applicable Administrative Agent to the Company marked “cancelled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by each party hereto, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee together with an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and, if required, the written consent of the Company to such assignment, the relevant Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register.

(f) Each Lender other than any Conduit Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,

(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto or thereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each participating bank or other entity shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 6.10, 6.11 and 6.12 to the same extent as if it was the selling Lender (and limited to the amount that could have been claimed by the selling Lender had it continued to hold the interest of such participating bank or other entity, it being further agreed that the selling Lender will not be permitted to make claims against the Borrowers under Section 6.10(b) for costs or reductions resulting from the sale of a participation), except that all claims made pursuant to such Sections shall be made through such selling Lender and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or thereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending the final scheduled maturity of the Loans or any date scheduled for the payment of interest on the Loans, extending the Commitments or releasing any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder).

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 13.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Company or the other Borrowers furnished to such Lender; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions contained herein.

(h) The Borrowers shall not assign or delegate any rights and duties hereunder, except in accordance with Section 10.01, without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or otherwise assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge shall release any Lender from its obligations hereunder. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the relevant Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made by the assigning Lender hereunder.

(j) Each party hereto hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

SECTION 13.05. Expenses, Indemnity. (a) The Company agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agents and the Arrangers in

connection with entering into this Agreement or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single counsel), or incurred by the Administrative Agents, the Arrangers or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made hereunder or thereunder, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agents and the Arrangers and, in the case of enforcement, each Lender.

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify each Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each Lender, each of their Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of (i) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that (x) such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses result from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee and (y) such indemnity shall not apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or relate expenses that result from disputes solely between Lenders.

(c) The provisions of this Section 13.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agents, the Syndication Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 13.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 13.06. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 13.07. Waivers, Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of any Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Company or any other Borrower in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the

Borrowers and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or reimbursement obligation with respect to an LC Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, or amend or modify Section 13.16, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (ii) increase the Commitments or decrease or extend the date for payment of the facility fees or fees in respect of Letters of Credit of any Lender (with the exception of fronting fees payable to the Issuing Lender, which shall require the consent of the Issuing Lender) without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 6.13 or Section 13.04(h), the provisions of this Section 13.07 or the definition of the “Required Lenders”, or release any Guarantor from its obligations under Section 13.16 hereof except for the release of a Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with the consummation of a transaction permitted under Section 10.01, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class or (v) change the requirement that disbursements made by any Lender be made ratably with respect to its applicable Commitment without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided further, however, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of (w) any Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of such Administrative Agent, (x) any Issuing Lender without the prior written consent of such Issuing Lender, (y) the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Swingline Lender or (z) an Arranger under Section 13.04(b) without the prior written consent of such Arranger. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section 13.07 and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section 13.07 shall bind any assignee of its rights and interests hereunder.

SECTION 13.08. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Letter Agreement constitute the entire contract among the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

SECTION 13.09. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 13.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 13.03.

SECTION 13.12. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or obligations of each Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company after such setoff and application made by such Lender, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 13.12 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 13.13. Jurisdiction: Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each party 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 such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. 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. Subject to the foregoing and to paragraph (b) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party hereto in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or thereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement 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.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 13.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for the service of process in any action referred to in Section 13.13(a) and agrees that service of process in any such proceeding may be made by mailing or delivering a copy thereof to it care of the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 13.01.

(e) Each Credit Party waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section for any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

SECTION 13.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certification in this Section 13.14.

SECTION 13.15. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 13.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 13.16. Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to make Loans to the Company and the other Borrowers, each Guarantor, on a joint and several basis, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as a primary obligor the Borrower Obligations of all the Borrowers. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Borrower Obligations may be extended and renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its agreement hereunder notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Borrower Obligation.

Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrowers of any Borrower Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and not be affected by, and each Guarantor waives any defense it may now or hereafter have arising out of (a) the failure of any

Lender or the Administrative Agents to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise; (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any other agreement; (c) the failure of any Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any Borrower; (d) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Loan Document; (e) the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any Loan or Letter of Credit or any document or instrument relating thereto or given in connection therewith; or (f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to or discharge of a Borrower or a guarantor (other than indefeasible payment).

Each Guarantor further agrees that its agreements hereunder constitutes a promise of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.

The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Borrower Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agents or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification in respect of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Borrower Obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantors (or any of them) or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantors (or any of them) as a matter of law or equity.

Each Guarantor further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Borrower Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agents or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agents or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Guarantors (or any of them) by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any Borrower Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the General Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash the amount of such unpaid Borrower Obligation. In the event that, by reason of the bankruptcy of any Borrower (i) acceleration of Loans made to such Borrower is prevented and (ii) the Guarantors shall not have prepaid the outstanding Loans and other amounts due hereunder owed by such Borrower, the Guarantors will forthwith purchase such Loans and other amounts at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder with respect thereto. Each Guarantor further agrees that if payment in respect of

any Borrower Obligation shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any Change in Law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such Borrower Obligations in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the judgment of any applicable Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of any applicable Lender, the Guarantors shall make payment of such Borrower Obligation in Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify such Lender against any losses or expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

Following indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Borrower Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, upon payment by any Guarantor of any Borrower Obligations, each Lender shall, in a reasonable manner, assign the amount of such Borrower Obligations owed to it and paid by such Guarantor pursuant to this guarantee to such Guarantor, such assignment to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Borrower Obligations in question were discharged by such Guarantor, or make such disposition thereof as such Guarantor shall direct (all without recourse to any Lender and without any representation or warranty by any Lender except with respect to the amount of the Borrower Obligations so assigned).

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the immediately following paragraph. The provisions of this paragraph shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agents and the Lenders and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agents and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Guarantors against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Borrower Obligations to the Lenders and termination of the Commitments.

Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor in its capacity as a guarantor under this Section 13.16 shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established above).

Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 13.16 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

SECTION 13.17. CAM Exchange. (a) On the CAM Exchange Date, to the extent not prohibited by a Requirement of Law, all Loans outstanding in any currency other than Dollars shall be converted to Dollars (calculated on the basis of the relevant Exchange Rates as of the Business Day immediately preceding the CAM Exchange Date) and shall be ABR Loans, and (ii) the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Classes (other than Competitive Loans) such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in each Class in which it shall participate as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Designated Obligations of each Credit Party in respect of each such Class), such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Classes (including the Designated Obligations of each Credit Party in respect of each such Class but excluding Competitive Loans and participations in undrawn Letters of Credit), whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof. Each Lender, the Company and each other Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender hereby agrees that the CAM Exchange shall be binding upon its successors and assigns and any Person that acquires a participation in its interests in any Class. The Company and each other Borrower and each Lender agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the General Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the General Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the General Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered; provided that the failure of the Company or any other Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept any such promissory note, instrument or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange. In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Swingline Loan shall be outstanding (other than any Swingline Loan in respect of which U.S. Lenders have funded their purchase of participations pursuant to Section 5.01), then each U.S. Lender (determined immediately prior to the CAM Exchange) shall, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01, promptly purchase from the Swingline Lender a participation in such Swingline Loan in the amount of such Lenders’ Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan (determined immediately prior to the CAM Exchange).

(b) As a result of the CAM Exchange, on and after the CAM Exchange Date, (i) each payment received by an Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages (to be redetermined as of each such date of payment or distribution to the extent required by Section 13.18) and (ii) Sections 6.12(g), 6.12(h) and 6.12(i) shall not apply with respect to any Taxes required to be withheld or deducted by a Borrower from or in respect of payments hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent that exceed the Taxes such Borrower would have otherwise been required to withhold or deduct from or in respect of payments to such Lender or the Administrative Agent had such CAM Exchange not occurred; provided, however, that this Section 13.17(b)(ii) shall not limit the obligations set forth in Section 6.12(j) hereof.

SECTION 13.18. Letters of Credit. In the event that, on or after the CAM Exchange Date, the aggregate amount of the Designated Obligations shall change as a result of the making of an LC Disbursement by the Issuing Lender that is not reimbursed by a Credit Party, then (a) each U.S. Lender (determined without giving effect to the CAM Exchange) shall,

in accordance with Section 4.01(d), promptly purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such LC Disbursement in the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such LC Disbursement (without giving effect to the CAM Exchange) and (b) the General Administrative Agent shall redetermine the CAM Percentages after giving effect to such LC Disbursement and the purchase of participations therein by the U.S. Lenders. Each such redetermination shall be binding on each of the Lenders and their successors and assigns and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

SECTION 13.19. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agents and the Lenders expressly agrees, for the benefit of the Company and the Subsidiaries, to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an express agreement for the benefit of the Company and the Subsidiaries containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or to any direct or indirect counter party to a Hedge Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Company and the Subsidiaries, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized ratings agency, or (i) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company and the Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information, including material nonpublic information within the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC (“Regulation FD”), received from the Company and the Subsidiaries relating to such entities or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such entities; provided that, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person customarily accords to its own confidential information; provided, however, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section, unless prohibited by law or applicable court order, each Lender and each Administrative Agent shall attempt to notify the Company and the Subsidiaries of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or other Person for disclosure of Confidential Information after receipt of such request, and if reasonable, practicable and permissible, before disclosure of such Confidential Information. It is understood and agreed that the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates may rely upon this Section 13.19 for any purpose, including without limitation to comply with Regulation FD. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative or other agent of such Party) may

disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. The preceding sentence is intended to cause the transactions contemplated hereby not to be treated as having been offered under conditions of confidentiality for purposes of Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) and 301.6111-2(a)(2)(ii) (or any successor provisions) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with such purpose.

SECTION 13.20. Effect of Restatement. This Agreement shall supersede the Existing Credit Agreement from and after the Restatement Date with respect to the transactions hereunder and with respect to the Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the Restatement Date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, however, that (a) this Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation or termination of the Credit Parties’ obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Restatement Date, (b) such obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (c) all references in the other Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement.

SECTION 13.21. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the General Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each of the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of each of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each of the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.
