SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(1) Each Loan will be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, in accordance with their respective Swingline Commitments). The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it will not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender will be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(2) Subject to Section 2.14, each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Borrowing) will be comprised entirely of ABR Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loan as the Borrowers may request in accordance herewith; provided that only U.S. Borrowers and Canadian Borrowers may request ABR Loans. Each Swingline Borrowing will be an ABR Borrowing. Each Lender at its option may make any ABR Loan, Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option will not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender will not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17 solely in respect of increased costs resulting from such exercise and existing at the time of such exercise.

107

(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower will be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03 Requests for Borrowings; Interest Elections.

(1) Each request for an ABR Borrowing shall be made no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Local Time Business Day of the proposed date of Borrowing by electronic request of Holdings through Administrative Agent’s Commercial Electronic Office Portal or through such other electronic portal provided by Administrative Agent (the “Portal”). The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that any request made through the Portal shall be deemed made by a Responsible Officer of Holdings. Each request for a Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing or request to continue a Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing shall be made pursuant to Holdings’ submission of a Eurocurrency/CDOR Rate Loan Notice to Administrative Agent, which must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans. Each Eurocurrency/CDOR Rate Loan Notice shall specify (a) the name of the applicable Borrower, (b) the requested date of the Borrowing or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (c) the principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans to be borrowed or continued (which shall be in a principal amount of at least the Borrowing Minimum or a Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof), (d) the duration of the Interest Period will respect thereto, (e) the currency of the Revolving Loan and (f) any outstanding ABR Loans that are requested to be converted to a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, as applicable. If Holdings fails to elect an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. If Holdings fails to give a timely notice with respect to any continuation of a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan, then (i) if such Loans are denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars and made to a U.S. Borrower or a Canadian Borrower, the applicable Loans shall be converted to ABR Loans and (ii) otherwise, shall be converted to Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month, effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans.

(2) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Holdings, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to ABR Loans described above.

(3) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, no Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(4) The Administrative Agent, without the request of any Borrower, may advance any interest, fee, service charge (including direct wire fees), expenses of the Loan Parties pursuant to Section 10.05 of this Agreement, or other payment to which any Agent or Lender is entitled from the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document and may charge the same to any Loan Account notwithstanding that an Overadvance may result thereby. The Agent shall advise Holdings of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof. Such action on the part of the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s rights and the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 2.11(1). Any amount which is charged to a Loan Account as provided in this Section 2.03(4) shall constitute U.S./Canadian Revolving Loans (if advanced to U.S. Borrowers, U.S. Guarantors, Canadian Borrowers or Canadian Guarantors), French Revolving Loans (if advanced to French

108

Borrowers) or European Revolving Loans (if advanced to German Borrowers, Spanish Borrowers or U.K. Borrowers) and shall, with respect to such amounts denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars advanced to a U.S. Borrower or a Canadian Borrower, bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable to ABR Loans.

SECTION 2.04 Swingline Loans.

(1) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the U.S. Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period; provided, that no such Swingline Loan will be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, (a) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans would exceed Swingline Commitment; (b) the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure and the Canadian Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the total U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments; (c) the Swingline Lender’s U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed its U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment; or (d) the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the U.S. Borrowing Base; provided; that the Swingline Lender will not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Borrowing.

(2) To request a Swingline Borrowing, the applicable U.S. Borrowers will notify the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request by email or facsimile), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Borrowing. Each such notice and Swingline Borrowing Request will be irrevocable and will specify the requested (a) date (which will be a Business Day) and (b) amount of the Swingline Borrowing. The Swingline Lender will consult with the Administrative Agent as to whether the making of the Swingline Loan is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the Swingline Lender funding such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender will make each Swingline Loan in accordance with Section 2.02(2) on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the applicable Borrowers (or, in the case of a Swingline Borrowing made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(5), by remittance to the applicable Issuing Bank); provided that the Swingline Lender will not be obligated to make any Swingline Loan at any time when any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swingline Lender (i) is satisfied in its reasonable discretion that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the applicable Revolving Facility Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (3) below or (ii) has otherwise entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to such Lender.

(3) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders with U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments to acquire participations by 2:00 p.m. on such Business Day (provided that if such notice is not provided to Lenders by 12:00 p.m. on such Business Day, such 2:00 p.m. deadline shall be extended by up to two hours to the extent necessary to provide the Revolving Lenders with U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments two hours from such notice to acquire such

109

participations) in all or a portion of the outstanding Swingline Loans made by it. Such notice will specify the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loans in which the applicable Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each such Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment will be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender with U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments will comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.

(4) The Administrative Agent will notify Holdings of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to paragraph (3), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan will be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrowers (or other party on behalf of the Borrowers) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein will be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted will be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to paragraph (3) will not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

(5) If the Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Facility Commitments occurs at a time when Extended Commitments are in effect, then (i) on such Maturity Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Maturity Date) or refinanced with a borrowing of an Extension pursuant to Section 2.22; provided that, if on the occurrence of the such Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.05), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to the Extended Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the Extended Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such Maturity Date.

(or the second Business Day, if such notice is received after 12:00 noon, Local Time), together with accrued interest thereon from the date of such European Disbursement at the rate applicable to ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such payment be financed with a Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowing of European Revolving Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the applicable German Borrower’s, the Spanish Borrowers or the U.K. Borrowers’ obligations to make such payment will be discharged and replaced by the resulting Eurocurrency Revolving Facility Borrowing.

(d) If the applicable Borrowers fail to reimburse any L/C Disbursement when due, then the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank and each other applicable Revolving Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrowers in respect thereof and, in the case of a Revolving Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender will pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Facility Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrowers in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph (5) to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of an Revolving Loan or a Swingline Borrowing as contemplated above) will not constitute a Loan and will not relieve the applicable Borrowers of their obligations to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

(e) Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to paragraph (5)(a), (b) or (c), the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to paragraph (5)(d) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(6) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the applicable Borrowers to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (5) of this Section 2.05 will be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and will be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

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

(b) 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;

(c) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank 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; or

(d) the Issuing Bank or any of its branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit;

(e) the Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a drawing document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such drawing document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit;

115

(f) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, the Issuing Bank or any other Person;

(g) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or

(h) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

(7) Limited Liability. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, any Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties, will 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 (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, or any of the circumstances referred to in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of Section 2.05(6); provided that the foregoing will not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any special, indirect and punitive 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 the Borrowers that are determined by a final and binding decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank will be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(8) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank will, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Holdings by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or e-mail) of any such demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice will not relieve the applicable Borrowers of their obligations to reimburse such Issuing Bank and/or the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement (following receipt of notice from the Issuing Bank).

(9) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrowers reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof will bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrowers reimburse such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if such L/C Disbursement is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrowers when due pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section 2.05, then Section 2.13(3) will apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph will be for the

116

account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse such Issuing Bank will be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(10) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement becomes effective, the applicable Borrowers will pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (a) the successor Issuing Bank will have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (b) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” will be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context will require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank will remain a party hereto and will continue to have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement but will not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(11) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, (a) in the case of an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(8) or (9), on the Business Day, or (b) in the case of any other Event of Default, on the third Business Day, in each case, following the date on which the Borrowers receive notice from the Administrative Agent demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (11), (A) the U.S. Borrowers will deposit in an account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the U.S./Canadian Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the amount of the U.S. Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (B) the Canadian Borrowers will deposit in a separate account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the U.S./Canadian Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the amount of the Canadian Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, (C) the applicable French Borrowers will deposit in a separate account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the French Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the amount of the French Revolving L/C Exposure of such French Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; (D) the applicable German Borrowers will deposit in a separate account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the European Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the amount of the German Revolving L/C Exposure of such German Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; (E) the Spanish Borrowers will deposit in a separate account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the European Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the amount of the Spanish Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (F) the U.K. Borrowers will deposit in a separate account with or at the direction of the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the European Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the amount of the U.K. Revolving L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that, in each case, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(8) or (9), the obligation to deposit such cash collateral will become effective immediately, and such deposit will become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind. Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph will be held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent will have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such accounts. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which

117

investments will be made at the option and sole discretion of (i) for so long as an Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent and (ii) at any other time, the Borrowers, in each case, in Cash Equivalents and at the risk and expense of the Borrowers, such deposits will not bear interest. Moneys in such account described in the foregoing clause (A) will be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for U.S./Canadian L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, will be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the U.S. Borrowers for the U.S. Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. Moneys in such account described in the foregoing clause (B) will be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for U.S./Canadian L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, will be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Canadian Borrowers for the Canadian Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Canadian Borrowers under this Agreement. Moneys in such account described in the foregoing clause (C) will be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for French L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, will be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable French Borrower for the French Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the applicable French Borrower under this Agreement. Moneys in such account described in the foregoing clause (D) will be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for European L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, will be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable German Borrower for the German Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the applicable German Borrower under this Agreement. Moneys in such account described in the foregoing clause (E) will be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for European Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, will be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Spanish Borrowers for the Spanish Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Spanish Borrowers under this Agreement. Moneys in such account described in the foregoing clause (F) will be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for European L/C Disbursements for which such Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, will be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the U.K. Borrowers for the U.K. Revolving L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the U.K. Borrowers under this Agreement.

(12) If the Borrowers (or any of them) are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) will be returned to such Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(13) Additional Issuing Banks. From time to time, the Borrowers may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, designate any Lender (in addition to the Administrative Agent) to act as an Issuing Bank; provided that such Lender agrees in its sole discretion to act as such and such Lender is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as an Issuing Bank. Each such additional Issuing Bank will execute a counterpart of this Agreement upon the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and will thereafter be an Issuing Bank hereunder for all

118

purposes. The Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, request a Letter of Credit issuance from any Issuing Bank.

(14) Reporting. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank will (x) provide to the Administrative Agent copies of any notice received from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.05(2) no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof and (y) report in writing to the Administrative Agent as follows:

(a) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), and the Issuing Bank will be permitted to issue, amend or extend such Letter of Credit if the Administrative Agent will not have advised the Issuing Bank that such issuance, amendment or extension would not be in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement;

(i) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any L/C Disbursement, the date of such L/C Disbursement and the amount of such L/C Disbursement; and

(ii) on any other Business Day, such other information with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent reasonably requests, including but not limited to prompt verification of such information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent.

The failure of any Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent or any affiliate thereof acting as an Issuing Bank) to comply with the provisions of sub-clauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (14) with respect to any letter of credit will result in such letter of credit not being deemed a “Letter of Credit” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(15) Reallocation. If the Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of a Class of Revolving Facility Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit issued under such Class of Revolving Facility Commitments, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Facility Commitments of the same Class in respect of which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the applicable Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(5)) under (and ratably participated in by the applicable Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Facility Commitments of the same Class in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Revolving Facility Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be reallocated); provided, in no event shall such reallocation cause a Lender’s share of the Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class, and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the applicable Borrowers shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(11). If, for any reason, such cash collateral is not provided or reallocation does not occur, the Revolving Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the applicable Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a Maturity Date with respect to a given tranche of Revolving Facility Commitments of the same Class shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage

119

participations of the Revolving Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued under such Class of Revolving Facility Commitments before such Maturity Date. Commencing with the Maturity Date of any tranche of Revolving Facility Commitments of the same Class, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.

(16) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Issuing Bank (and its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents) and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including Issuing Bank, a “Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and special, indirect, and punitive damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.17) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any issuer or drawing document referred to in or related to any Letter of Credit, or any action or proceeding arising out of any of the foregoing (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration); in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence; provided, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and all Letters of Credit.

(17) Existing Letters of Credit. The Borrowers and the Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with the same effect as if such Existing Letters of Credit were issued by the Issuing Bank at the request of the applicable Borrowers on the Closing Date.

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings.

(1) Each Lender will make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 10:00 a.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that same-day ABR Loans will be made by each Lender on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., Local Time; provided, further that Swingline Loans will be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrowers as specified in the applicable Eurocurrency/CDOR Rate Loan Notice; provided that ABR Revolving Loans and Swingline Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement and reimbursements as provided in Section 2.05(5) will be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(2) Unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (1) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrowers severally agree to pay to

120

the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at (a) in the case of such Lender, the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (b) in the case of Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans at such time. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent then such amount will constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

(3) The foregoing notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may from its own funds make the applicable Loan on behalf of any such Lender, (including by means of Swingline Loans to the applicable Borrowers). In such event, the Lender, on behalf of whom Administrative Agent made the Loan, will reimburse the Administrative Agent for all or any portion of such Loan made on its behalf upon written notice given to such Lender not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day such reimbursement is requested. On each such settlement date, the Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender the net amount owing to such Lender in connection with such settlement, including amounts relating to Loans, fees, interest and other amounts payable hereunder. The entire amount of interest attributable to such Loan for the period from and including the date on which such Loan is made on such Lender’s behalf, to but excluding the date the Administrative Agent is reimbursed in respect of such Loan by such Lender, will be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

SECTION 2.07 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(1) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Facility Commitments will terminate on the Maturity Date.

(2) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, any Class of the Revolving Facility Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments will be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1.0 million and not less than $5.0 million (or, if less, the remaining amount of the applicable Revolving Facility Commitments), (ii) the U.S. Borrowers and the Canadian Borrowers will not terminate or reduce the U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the U.S./Canadian Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, either the U.S. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the U.S. Line Cap or the Canadian Borrower Revolving Facility Credit Exposure would exceed the Canadian Line Cap, (iii) the French Borrowers will not terminate or reduce the French Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the French Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the French Revolving Facility Credit Exposure with respect to each French Borrower would exceed the French Borrower Line Cap with respect to such French Borrower, (iv) the German Borrowers, the Spanish Borrowers and the U.K. Borrowers will not terminate or reduce the European Revolving Facility Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the European Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, either the German Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of any German Borrower would exceed the German Line Cap with respect to such German Borrower, the Spanish Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of the Spanish Borrowers would exceed the Spanish Line Cap or the U.K. Revolving Facility Credit Exposure of the U.K. Borrowers would exceed the U.K. Line Cap.

(3) The Borrowers will notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce any Class of the Revolving Facility Commitments under paragraph (2) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and

121

the date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent will advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.08 will be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments delivered by Borrowers may state that such notice is revocable or conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked or extended by Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified Closing Date). Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Facility Commitments will be permanent. Each reduction of any Class of the Revolving Facility Commitments will be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.09 Promise to Pay; Evidence of Debt.

(1) On the Maturity Date, each U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender with a U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment the then unpaid principal amount of each U.S./Canadian Revolving Loan, U.S. Protective Advance or U.S. Overadvance, in each case made to any of the U.S. Borrowers and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to a U.S. Borrower. On the Maturity Date, each Canadian Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender with a U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment the then unpaid principal amount of each U.S./Canadian Revolving Loan, Canadian Protective Advance or Canadian Overadvance, in each case, made to any of the Canadian Borrowers. On the Maturity Date, each French Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each French Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each French Revolving Loan, French Protective Advance or French Overadvance, in each case, made to such French Borrower. On the Maturity Date, each German Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender with a European Revolving Facility Commitment the then unpaid principal amount of each European Revolving Loan, German Protective Advance or German Overadvance, in each case, made to such German Borrower. On the Maturity Date, each Spanish Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender with a European Revolving Facility Commitment the then unpaid principal amount of each European Revolving Loan, Spanish Protective Advance or Spanish Overadvance made to any Spanish Borrower. On the Maturity Date, each U.K. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender with a European Revolving Facility Commitment the then unpaid principal amount of each European Revolving Loan, U.K. Protective Advance or U.K. Overadvance, in each case, made to any U.K. Borrower. Each U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the fifth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Revolving Loan shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.

(2) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (a “Note”). In such event, the applicable Borrowers will prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to Borrowers. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) will be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if requested by such payee, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(3) The Administrative Agent will maintain accounts in which it will record (a) the amount of each Loan to the applicable Borrowers made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest

122

Period (if any) applicable thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (c) any amount received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this paragraph (3) will be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein will not in any manner affect the obligations of the applicable Borrowers to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.10 Optional Repayment of Loans.

(1) The Borrowers will have the right at any time and from time to time to repay any Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), in an aggregate principal amount, (a) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $2.5 million, and (b) in the case of ABR Loans, that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1.0 million, or, in each case, if less, the amount outstanding.

(2) Prior to any repayment of any Loans, the Borrowers will select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and will notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or e-mail) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, (a) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one Business Day before the anticipated date of such repayment and (b) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, three Business Days before the anticipated date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing will be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing such that each Lender receives its ratable share of such repayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, prior to any repayment of a Swingline Loan hereunder, the applicable Borrowers will select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid and will notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile transmission or e-mail) of such selection not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the scheduled date of such repayment.

(1) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) will bear interest at the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(2) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing will bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(3) The Loans comprising each CDOR Rate Borrowing will bear interest at the CDOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(4) Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Event of Default, the applicable Borrowers will pay interest on overdue amounts hereunder at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.13 or (b) in the case of overdue interest or any other overdue amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in clause (1) of this Section 2.13.

(5) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be compounded with the overdue amount only if, within the meaning of article 1343-2 of the French Code civil, such interest is due by a French Loan Party for a period of at least one year, but will remain immediately due and payable.

(6) Accrued interest on each Loan will be payable by the applicable Borrowers, in arrears (a) on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; (b) on the applicable Maturity Date; and (c) upon termination of the Commitments; provided that:

(i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (4) of this Section 2.13 will be payable on demand;

(ii) in the event of any repayment of any Loan (other than a repayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid will be payable on the date of such repayment; and

The applicable ABR, Adjusted LIBOR Rate, LIBOR Rate or CDOR Rate will be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(8) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or any other period, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest is payable (or compounded) ends and (z) divided by 360, or such other period of time that is less than the calendar year, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

(9) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige any Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by applicable law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of “interest” at a “criminal rate”.

(10) In the event the Spanish Borrower fails to timely pay any amount due and payable under the Agreement, it shall pay interest in respect of such amounts due and unpaid in accordance with Article 316 of Spanish Code of Commerce, as amended, which shall accrue at the applicable rate calculated in accordance with this clause (9). Such interest due and unpaid by the Spanish Borrower shall be capitalized on a monthly basis for the purposes of Article 316 et. seq. of Spanish Code of Commerce.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing:

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

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

then the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the applicable Lenders by telephone, facsimile transmission or e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the

130

Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) with respect to any Borrowing denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars with respect to a U.S. Borrower or a Canadian Borrower, (a) any Eurocurrency/CDOR Rate Loan Notice that requests the conversion of any applicable Borrowing to, or continuation of any such Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing will be ineffective and such Borrowing will be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto an ABR Borrowing, and (b) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing will be made as an ABR Borrowing and (ii) with respect to any other Borrowing, any Eurocurrency/CDOR Rate Loan Notice that requests the a Borrowing of or the continuation of any such Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing, will be ineffective and such Borrowing will be converted to or continued as on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto a Loan bearing interest at an alternative rate mutually acceptable to the Borrowers and the applicable Lenders, provided, however, that if the Borrowers and the applicable Lenders cannot agree within a reasonable time on an alternative rate for such Loans, the Borrowers may, at their discretion, either (i) prepay such Loans or (ii) maintain such Loans outstanding, in which case, the interest rate payable to the applicable Lender on such Loans will be the rate determined by the Administrative Agent as its cost of funds to fund a Borrowing of such Loans with maturities comparable to the Interest Period applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(1) If any Change in Law:

(a) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or Issuing Bank;

(b) imposes on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market or Canadian interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(c) subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (a) Indemnified Taxes, (b) Taxes described in clauses (2) through (5) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, (c) Connection Income Taxes and (d) any Taxes attributable to a U.K. Tax Deduction required to be made by a Loan Party) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(2) If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or

131

Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(3) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section 2.15 will be delivered to the Borrowers and will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(4) Promptly after any Lender or any Issuing Bank has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Lender or Issuing Bank will notify the Borrowers thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 will not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers will not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the applicable Borrowers will compensate each Lender for the actual out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) attributable to the following events:

(1) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default);

(2) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(3) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto; or

(4) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.19.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 will be delivered to the Borrowers and will be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrowers will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

132

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(1) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without any Tax Deduction, except as required by applicable law; provided that if any Tax Deductions are to be made under any applicable law from such payments (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Loan Party or the applicable withholding agent), then (a) such Loan Party (or other applicable withholding agent) will make such deductions; (b) such Loan Party (or other applicable withholding agent) will timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; and (c) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax (but subject to subsection (2) below), the sum payable by the Loan Party will be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such Tax Deductions been made.

(2) A payment shall not be increased under subsection (1) above by reason of a U.K. Tax Deduction if, on the date on which the payment falls due:

(a) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a U.K. Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a U.K. Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a U.K. Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or U.K. Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(b) the relevant Lender is a U.K. Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of “U.K. Qualifying Lender” and:

(i) an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the U.K. ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the Loan Party making the payment or from the Company a certified copy of that Direction; and

(ii) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any U.K. Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or

(c) the relevant Lender is a U.K. Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of “U.K. Qualifying Lender” and:

(i) the relevant Lender has not given a U.K. Tax Confirmation to the Company; and

(ii) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any U.K. Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a U.K. Tax Confirmation to the relevant Loan Party, on the basis that the U.K. Tax Confirmation would have enabled such Loan Party to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the U.K. ITA; or

(d) the relevant Lender is a U.K. Treaty Lender and the Loan Party making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the U.K. Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under subsection (6)(e) below.

133

(3) In addition, the Loan Parties will pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of such Other Taxes.

(4) The Loan Parties will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17 but only to the extent necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Administrative Agent or Lender (as applicable) would have received if such Indemnified Taxes imposed thereon had not been imposed) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Indemnified Taxes compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.17(1), or which would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 2.17(1) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 2.17(2) applied. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to such Loan Party by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, will be conclusive absent manifest error. The limitations set out in the Guaranty shall apply mutatis mutandis.

(5) Within 30 days after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(6) (a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document (other than with respect to a U.K. Tax Deduction to which the provisions of Section 2.17(6)(e)-(i) shall apply, as applicable) will deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, when requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent at least 30 days before any prepayment is due or made to that Lender under this Agreement, such properly completed and executed documentation requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, (other than with respect to a payment obliged to be made by a U.K. Borrower to which the provisions of section 2.17(6)(e)-(i) shall apply, as applicable), if requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, will deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. If the Loan Party is able to demonstrate that an increased Tax Deduction applies due to the failure of the Lender to comply with this paragraph (a), the payment by the Loan Party pursuant to paragraph (1) of Clause 2.17 (Tax Gross-Up) shall be limited in respect of the Tax Deduction that would have been made by such Loan Party had that Lender fulfilled its obligations in completing the procedural formalities necessary to benefit from an exemption or a reduction of Tax Deduction.

(b) Without limiting the effect of Section 2.17(6)(a) above, each Recipient that is a U.S. Person will deliver to the U.S. Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(c) Without limiting the effect of Section 2.17(6)(a) above, each Foreign Lender will, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Borrowers and the Administrative

134

Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto);

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit E to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code; or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto);

(iv) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, together with forms and certificates described in clauses (i) through (iii) above (and any additional Form W-8IMYs) and, if applicable Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, as may be required; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit E on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(d) Without limiting the effect of Section 2.17(6)(a) above, in respect of a Spanish Borrower, each Lender not resident for tax purposes in Spain shall, to the extent is legally entitled to do so, as soon as reasonably practical after the date on which it becomes a Lender, supply a tax residence certificate issued by the tax authorities of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is resident for tax purposes and, if such Lender is a Spanish Treaty Lender or otherwise entitled to the benefits of a double tax treaty entered into between such Lender’s jurisdiction of tax residence and Spain (other than an EU Lender), a tax residence certificate or the applicable tax treaty form accrediting that such Lender is resident for tax purposes in such jurisdiction within the meaning of such treaty.

(e) Without limiting the effect of Sections 2.17(6)(a)-(d) above:

(i) subject to subsection (ii) below, a U.K. Treaty Lender (or a Lender which would be a U.K. Treaty Lender upon the completion of any necessary procedural formalities) and each Loan Party which makes a payment to which that U.K. Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Loan Party to obtain authorization to make that payment without a U.K. Tax Deduction;

135

(ii) a U.K. Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm in writing its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to any U.K. Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, and having done so that U.K. Treaty Lender shall be under no further obligation pursuant to subsection (e)(i) above; and

(iii) if a U.K. Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with subsection (e)(ii) above and: (a) a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender has not made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or (b) a U.K. Borrower making a payment to that Lender has made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing but (1) that U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or (2) HM Revenue & Customs have not given the U.K. Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender without a U.K. Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing, and in each case, the U.K. Borrower has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the U.K. Borrower shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that U.K. Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a U.K. Tax Deduction.

(f) If a U.K. Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with subsection (e) above, no U.K. Borrower shall make a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender’s Loan(s) unless that Lender otherwise agrees.

(g) A U.K. Borrower shall, promptly on making a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant U.K. Treaty Lender.

(h) A U.K. Non-Bank Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement gives a U.K. Tax Confirmation to any U.K. Borrower by entering into this Agreement. A U.K. Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify any U.K. Borrower and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the U.K. Tax Confirmation.

(i) Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the Assignment and Acceptance which it executes on becoming a Lender (or in respect of an Initial Lender, in the Initial Lender Certificate), which of the following categories it falls in:

(i) in respect of a U.K. Borrower: (A) not a U.K. Qualifying Lender; (B) a U.K. Qualifying Lender (other than a U.K. Treaty Lender); or (C) a U.K. Treaty Lender (on the assumption that all procedural formalities have been completed);

(ii) in respect of a Spanish Borrower: (A) not a Spanish Qualifying Lender; (B) a Spanish Qualifying Lender that is a Spanish Lender; (C) a Spanish Qualifying Lender that is a Spanish Treaty Lender; or (D) a Spanish Qualifying Lender that is an EU Lender; and

(iii) in respect of any other Borrower: (A) not a Qualifying Lender; (B) a Qualifying Lender (other than a Treaty Lender); or (C) a Treaty Lender.

If a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with subsection (i)(i) or (ii) above (as applicable) then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each U.K. Loan Party, Spanish Loan Party or other Loan Party (as applicable)) as if it is not a U.K. Qualifying Lender, Spanish

136

Qualifying Lender or Qualifying Lender (as applicable) until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform each U.K. Borrower, Spanish Borrower or the Company (as applicable)). Such new Lender shall also specify, in the Assignment and Acceptance which it executes on becoming a Party, whether it is incorporated or acting through a Facility Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, an Assignment and Acceptance shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this subsection (i).

(7) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if a Lender assigns or transfers any of its rights or obligations with respect to a Loan or changes its Lending Office in respect of such Loan, and as a result of circumstances existing at the date the assignment, transfer or change occurs, a Loan Party would be obliged to make a payment to the successor or assign or Lender acting through its new Lending Office under Section 2.17(1) or 2.17(4) in respect of a U.K. Tax Deduction, then such successor or assign or Lender acting through its new Lending Office is only entitled to receive payment under those Sections to the same extent as the assigning or transferring Lender or Lender acting through its previous Lending Office would have been if the assignment, transfer or change had not occurred.

(8) If a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient will deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for each Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (8), “FATCA” will include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(9) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, the Lender shall, following written request by the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent at least 30 days before such an expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy occurs, update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(10) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes (by means of a credit against, relief or remission for, or repayment of any Taxes) as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it will pay over promptly an amount equal to such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.17(10) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Without prejudice to the generality of the preceding sentence, in the event that (i) a U.K. Tax Deduction is required to be made in connection with a payment

137

to a Lender which is a U.K. Treaty Lender and (ii) an increased payment is made in connection with such U.K. Tax Deduction pursuant to subsection (1) above, then such Lender shall reasonably cooperate with the relevant U.K. Loan Party in order to obtain a refund of the amount of such U.K. Tax Deduction from HM Revenue & Customs (and, in the event that the amount of such U.K. Tax Deduction is refunded to such Lender, such Lender shall without unreasonable delay reimburse such amount to the relevant U.K. Borrower so that the Lender is in the same after-Tax position that it would have been in if such increased payment had not been made). This Section 2.17(10) will not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems, in good faith, to be confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person or to interfere with its right to arrange its tax affairs in such a manner as it may see fit.

(11) Value added tax:

(a) All amounts expressed to be payable under any Loan Document by any Party to a Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any Party under a Loan Document and such Lender is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Party must pay to such Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Lender must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Party).

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender (the “Payee”) to any other Lender (the “Payor”) under a Loan Document, and any Party other than the Payor (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Payee (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Payor in respect of that consideration):

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

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

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

(d) In relation to any supply made by a Lender to any Party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender, that Party must promptly provide such Lender with details of that Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably

138

requested in connection with such Lender’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(e) Any reference in this section 11 (Value Added Tax) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the person who is treated as making the supply or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by the relevant member state of the European Union or any other similar provision in any jurisdiction which is not a member state of the European Union)) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with section 43 of the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994) so that a reference to a Party shall be construed as a reference to that Party or the relevant group or unity (or fiscal unity) of which that Party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(12) A payment by the German Borrower shall not be increased pursuant to Section 2.17(1) by reason of a withholding or deduction for, or on account of, Taxes imposed by Germany if on the date on which the payment falls due (i) the payment could have been made to the Lender without a withholding or deduction if the Lender had been a German Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a German Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or German Treaty, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority, or (ii) the relevant Lender is a German Treaty Lender and the Loan Party making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender, without the withholding or deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 2.17(6)(a) above.

(13) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 will survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(14) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA and the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(1) Unless otherwise specified, (a) the applicable Borrowers will make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursement of L/C Disbursements or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, at the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.05 will be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto; and (b) each such payment will be made, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without condition or deduction for any defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. The Administrative Agent will distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof and will make settlements with the Lenders with respect to other payments at the times and in the manner provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment

139

accruing interest, interest thereon will be payable for the period of such extension. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder will be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent, at or before such time, has taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Section 2.18(1), no payment under the Loan Documents shall be made by a French Loan Party on an account opened with a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

(2) The amount of each (i) Lender’s U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Percentage of outstanding U.S./Canadian Revolving Loans (including outstanding Swingline Loans), (ii) European Revolving Facility Percentage of outstanding European Revolving Loans and (iii) French Revolving Facility Percentage of outstanding French Revolving Loans will be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s discretion) and will be adjusted upward or downward based on all U.S./Canadian Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans), European Revolving Loans or French Revolving Loans, as applicable, and repayments of U.S./Canadian Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans), European Revolving Loans and French Revolving Loans, as applicable, received by the Administrative Agent as of 4:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding U.S./Canadian Revolving Loans, European Revolving Loans and French Revolving Loans for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, (a) the Administrative Agent will transfer to each Lender its applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of repayments and (b) each Lender will transfer to the Administrative Agent (as provided below) or the Administrative Agent will transfer to each Lender such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of each Class of Revolving Loans made by each Lender will be equal to such Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of all Revolving Loans outstanding in such Class as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and is received prior to 2:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such transfers will be made in immediately available funds no later than 5:00 p.m. that day and, if received after 2:00 p.m., then no later than 4:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent any Lender has not so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.

(4) Subject to express priorities set forth in Section 2.18(3) above, if any Lender, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtains payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans, as applicable, of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this paragraph (4) will not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (4) apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agree, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation

148

pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(6) If any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(3), 2.05(4) or (5), 2.06(1), or 2.18(4) then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(7) Collateral Allocation Mechanism (CAM).

(a) CAM Implementation.

(i) On the CAM Exchange Date, (i) each Lender with U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments shall immediately be deemed to have acquired (and shall promptly make payment therefor to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(3)) participations in the Swingline Loans in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s applicable Revolving Facility Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans outstanding on such date, (ii) simultaneously with the automatic conversions pursuant to clause (iii) below, the Lenders shall automatically and without further act (and without regard to the provisions of Section 10.04 (but which such provisions shall remain applicable following such exchange)) be deemed to have exchanged interests in the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and participations in Letters of Credit ((x) with respect to each Revolving Lender with a U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under U.S./Canadian Letters of Credit, (y) with respect to each French Revolving Lender, in an amount equal to such French Revolving Lender’s French Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under French Letters of Credit, and (z) with respect to each Revolving Lender with a European Revolving Facility Commitment, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s European Revolving Facility Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under European Letters of Credit), such that in lieu of the interest of each Lender in each Loan and Letter of Credit in which it shall participate as of such date (including such Lender’s interest in the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan and Letter of Credit), such Lender shall hold an interest in every one of the Loans (other than the Swingline Loans) and a participation in every one of the Letters of Credit (including the Obligations of each Loan Party in respect of each such Loan and each Reserve Account established pursuant to Section 2.18(7)(b)), whether or not such Lender shall previously have

149

participated therein, equal to such Lender’s CAM Percentage thereof, (iii) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (ii) above, the interests in the Loans to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, determined using the Spot Rate calculated as of such date, of such amount and on and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. The CAM Exchange, in itself, will not affect the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing by each of Loan Parties on the CAM Exchange Date. Each Lender and each Loan Party hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender 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 Loan or any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit. Each Loan Party agrees from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests of the Lenders after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes and other instruments and documents received by it in connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the failure of any Loan Party 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.

(ii) As a result of the CAM Exchange, upon and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations and each distribution made by an Agent pursuant to any Security Document in respect of the Obligations, shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages. Any direct payment received by a Lender on or after the CAM Exchange Date, including by way of set-off, in respect of an Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

(b) Letters of Credit.

(i) In the event that on the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and undrawn in whole or in part, or any L/C Disbursement shall not have been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower, (x) in the case of U.S./Canadian Letters of Credit, each Revolving Lender with a U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in Dollars equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such unreimbursed drawing, as applicable (y) in the case of French Letters of Credit, each French Revolving Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in Dollars equal to such French Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such unreimbursed drawing, as applicable and (z) in the case of European Letters of Credit, each Revolving Lender with a European Revolving Facility Commitment shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount in Dollars equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Facility Percentage of such undrawn face amount or (to the extent it has not already done so) such unreimbursed drawing, as applicable. The Administrative Agent shall establish a separate account (each, a “Reserve Account”) or accounts for each Lender for the amounts received with respect to each such Letter of Credit pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Administrative Agent shall deposit in each Lender’s Reserve Account such Lender’s CAM Percentage of the amounts received from the Revolving Lenders as provided above. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control over each Reserve Account, and the amounts deposited in each Reserve Account shall

150

be held in such Reserve Account until withdrawn as provided below. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine the amounts paid over to it and deposited in the Reserve Accounts in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amounts on deposit in respect of each Letter of Credit attributable to each Lender’s CAM Percentage. The amounts held in each Lender’s Reserve Account shall be held as a reserve against the Revolving L/C Exposure, shall be the property of such Lender, shall not constitute Loans to or give rise to any claim of or against any Loan Party and shall not give rise to any obligation on the part of any Loan Party to pay interest to such Lender or any other obligation of any Loan Party, it being agreed that the reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall arise only at such times as drawings are made thereunder, as provided in Section 2.05.

(ii) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any drawing shall be made in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the applicable Issuing Bank, to the extent such drawing constitutes an L/C Disbursement, withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender any amounts, up to the amount of such Lender’s CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment, deposited in respect of such Letter of Credit and remaining on deposit and deliver such amounts to such Issuing Bank in satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lenders under Section 2.05(4) (but not of the applicable Borrower under Section 2.05(5)). In the event that any Lender shall default on its obligation to pay over any amount to the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 2.18(7)(b), the applicable Issuing Bank shall have a claim against such Lender to the same extent as if such Lender had defaulted on its obligations under Section 2.05(4), but shall have no claim against any other Lender in respect of such defaulted amount, notwithstanding the exchange of interests in the applicable Borrower’s reimbursement obligations. Each other Lender shall have a claim against such defaulting Lender for any damages sustained by it as a result of such default, including, in the event that such Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, its CAM Percentage of the defaulted amount.

(iii) In the event that after the CAM Exchange Date any Letter of Credit shall expire undrawn, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Reserve Account of each Lender the amount remaining on deposit therein in respect of such Letter of Credit and distribute such amount to such Lender.

(iv) With the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may withdraw the amount held in its Reserve Account in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit. Any Lender making such a withdrawal shall be unconditionally obligated, in the event there shall subsequently be a drawing under such Letter of Credit, to pay over to the Administrative Agent, in the currency in which such drawing is denominated, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand, its CAM Percentage of such drawing or payment.

(v) Pending the withdrawal by any Lender of any amounts from its Reserve Account as contemplated by the above paragraphs, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of such Lender and subject to such rules as the Administrative Agent may prescribe for the avoidance of inconvenience, invest such amounts in Cash Equivalents. Each Lender that has not withdrawn its amounts in its Reserve Account as provided in paragraph (iv) above shall have the right, at intervals reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent, to withdraw the earnings on investments so made by the Administrative Agent with amounts in its Reserve Account and to retain such earnings for its own account.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(1) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Loan Party is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or any amount payable under a Loan Document by a French Loan Party becomes not deductible from that French Loan Party’s taxable income for French tax purposes by reason of that amount being paid or accrued to a Finance Party incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a Facility Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Finance Party in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, then such Lender will, in consultation with the relevant Loan Party, take all reasonable steps to mitigate any such consequences, including (but not limited to, designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future or avoid such non-tax deductibility for French income tax purposes and (b) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(2) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that assumes such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (a) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, to the extent the consent of such Person would be required under Section 10.04 for an assignment of Loans to such assignee, (b) such Lender has received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. Nothing in this Section 2.19 will be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

(3) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which, pursuant to the terms of Section 10.08, requires the consent of such Lender with respect to which the Required Lenders have granted their consent, then each Borrower will have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) at its sole expense, to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by deeming such Non-Consenting Lender to have assigned its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank to the extent the consent of such Person would be required under Section 10.04; provided that (a) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender (including accrued Fees and any amounts due under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17) being removed or replaced will be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment and (b) the replacement Lender will purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. No action by or consent of the Non-Consenting Lender will be necessary in connection with such removal or assignment, which will be immediately and automatically effective upon payment of such purchase price. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, such Non-

152

Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender will otherwise comply with Section 10.04; provided that if such Non-Consenting Lender does not comply with Section 10.04 within three Business Days after the Borrowers’ request therefor, compliance with Section 10.04 will not be required to effect such assignment.

SECTION 2.20 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any change in law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Closing Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or CDOR Rate Loans or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings or CDOR Rate Borrowings will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), (i) with respect to Borrowings denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars with respect to a U.S. Borrower or a Canadian Borrower, either convert all Eurocurrency Borrowings or CDOR Rate Borrowings (as applicable) of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings or CDOR Rate Borrowings (as applicable) to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans or (ii) with respect to any other Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans, such Borrowing will be converted to a Loan bearing interest at an alternative rate mutually acceptable to the Borrowers and the applicable Lenders, provided, however, that if the Borrowers and the applicable Lenders cannot agree within a reasonable time on an alternative rate for such Loans, the Borrowers may, at their discretion, either (x) prepay such Loans or (y) maintain such Loans outstanding, in which case, the interest rate payable to the applicable Lender on such Loans will be the rate determined by the Administrative Agent as its cost of funds to fund a Borrowing of such Loans with maturities comparable to the Interest Period applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

SECTION 2.21 Incremental Revolving Facility Increases.

(1) Notice. At any time and from time to time, on one or more occasions, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, (a) increase the U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, (b) increase the French Revolving Facility Commitments and/or (c) increase the European Revolving Facility Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Facility Increase” and such additional Revolving Facility Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”).

(2) Ranking. Any Incremental Commitments will (a) rank pari passu in right of payment with the applicable Revolving Facility Claims and (b) be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the applicable Revolving Facility Claims including, as may be necessary under applicable law, pursuant to lower ranking security, which will contractually rank pari passu with the other Security Documents pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.

(3) Size. The principal amount of all commitments in respect of Incremental Revolving Facility Increases received pursuant to this Section 2.21, in the aggregate for all Incremental Revolving Facility Increases, shall not exceed $100.0 million.

153

(4) Minimum Amounts. Each Incremental Revolving Facility Increase received pursuant to this Section 2.21 will be in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (or such lesser minimum amount approved by the Administrative Agent).

(5) Incremental Lenders. Incremental Revolving Facility Increases may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to provide any Incremental Revolving Facility Increase), or any Additional Lender (collectively, the “Incremental Lenders”); provided that the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to any Additional Lender’s provision of such Incremental Revolving Facility Increase if such consent by the Administrative Agent or such Swingline Lender would be required under Section 10.04 for an assignment of Commitments or Loans to such Additional Lender.

(6) Incremental Facility Amendments.

(a) Each Incremental Revolving Facility Increase will become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrowers, the applicable Incremental Lenders and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable, will be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Revolving Facility Increase evidenced thereby.

(b) Upon each Incremental Revolving Facility Increase of the U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments in accordance with this Section 2.21:

(i) each Incremental Lender in respect of such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of each Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding U.S./Canadian Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (A) participations hereunder in U.S./Canadian Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Lender (including each such Incremental Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment; and

(ii) the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrowers, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to such Lender’s Incremental Commitments, the percentage of the aggregate U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments held by each Lender (including each such Incremental Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment, which may be accomplished, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent following consultation with the Borrowers, by:

(A) requiring the outstanding U.S./Canadian Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Borrowing;

154

(B) causing non-increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding U.S./Canadian Revolving Loans to Incremental Lenders; or

(c) Upon each Incremental Revolving Facility Increase of the French Revolving Facility Commitments in accordance with this Section 2.21:

(i) each Incremental Lender in respect of such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of each Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding French Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in French Letters of Credit held by each Lender (including each such Incremental Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate French Revolving Facility Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s French Revolving Facility Commitment; and

(ii) the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrowers, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to such Lender’s Incremental Commitments, the percentage of the aggregate French Revolving Facility Commitments held by each Lender (including each such Incremental Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate French Revolving Facility Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s French Revolving Facility Commitment, which may be accomplished, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent following consultation with the Borrowers, by:

(A) requiring the outstanding French Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Borrowing;

(B) causing non-increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding French Revolving Loans to Incremental Lenders; or

(d) Upon each Incremental Revolving Facility Increase of the European Revolving Facility Commitments in accordance with this Section 2.21:

(i) each Incremental Lender in respect of such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed a portion of each Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding European Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in European Letters of Credit held by each Lender (including each such Incremental Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate European Revolving Facility Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s European Revolving Facility Commitment; and

(ii) the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrowers, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to such Lender’s Incremental Commitments, the percentage of the aggregate European Revolving Facility Commitments held by each Lender (including each such Incremental Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate European Revolving Facility Commitments of all Lenders represented by such Lender’s European Revolving Facility Commitment, which may be

155

accomplished, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent following consultation with the Borrowers, by:

(A) requiring the outstanding European Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Borrowing;

(B) causing non-increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding European Revolving Loans to Incremental Lenders; or

(7) Conditions. The initial availability of any Incremental Revolving Facility Increase will be subject solely to the following conditions:

(a) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Facility Increase on the date such Incremental Revolving Facility Increase is incurred (or commitments in respect thereof are provided); provided, that if the Incremental Revolving Facility Increase is being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, (i) the date of determination of such condition shall be the LCA Test Date and (ii) on the date such Incremental Revolving Facility Increase is incurred (or commitments in respect thereof are provided), no Specified Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto;

(b) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents will be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties that are already qualified by materiality, which representations and warranties will be accurate in all respects) immediately prior to, and immediately after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Facility Increase (or the date on which commitments in respect thereof are provided); provided, that if the Incremental Revolving Facility Increase is being incurred in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such condition shall be the LCA Test Date; and

(c) such other conditions (if any) as may be required by the Incremental Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility Increase, unless such other conditions are waived by such Incremental Lenders.

(8) Terms. Any Incremental Revolving Facility Increase will be on terms identical to (and shall form part of) the applicable Revolving Facility Commitments which are subject to such Incremental Revolving Facility Increase, except with respect to any arrangement, upfront, structuring or similar fees that may be agreed to by and among the Borrower and the Incremental Lenders.

SECTION 2.22 Extensions of Revolving Facility Commitments.

(1) Extension Offers. Pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrowers to all Lenders of Loans with a like Maturity Date, the Borrowers may extend the Maturity Date of each such Lender’s U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments or European Revolving Facility Commitments and, subject to Section 2.22(3)(b), otherwise modify the terms of such U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer, including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect to such U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility

156

Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments (each, an “Extension,” and each group of U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments so extended, as well as the original U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments not so extended, being a “tranche”). Each Extension Offer will specify the minimum amount of U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments with respect to which an Extension Offer may be accepted, which will be an integral multiple of $1.0 million and an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25.0 million (or (a) if less, the aggregate principal amount of such U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments or (b) such lesser minimum amount as is approved by the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and shall be offered on a pro rata basis to all Lenders having U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments with a like Maturity Date. If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans and U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments offered to be extended pursuant to an Extension Offer, then the Loans and U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments of such Lenders will be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitments, French Revolving Facility Commitments and European Revolving Facility Commitments of the Lenders that have accepted such Extension Offer. There is no requirement that any Extension Offer or Extension Amendment (defined as follows) be subject to any “most favored nation” pricing provisions. Each Lender accepting an Extension Offer is referred to herein as an “Extending Lender,” and the Loans and U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment, French Revolving Facility Commitment and European Revolving Facility Commitment held by such Lender (and so extended) accepting an Extension Offer are referred to herein as “Extended Loans” and “Extended Commitments”.

(2) Extension Amendments. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches in respect of Extended Commitments (and related Extended Loans) and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection with the establishment of such new tranches, in each case, on terms consistent with this Section 2.22. This Section 2.22 supersedes any provisions in Section 10.08 to the contrary. Except as otherwise set forth in an Extension Offer, there will be no conditions to the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment. Extensions will not constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. Nonetheless, as regards any documents executed in Spain, if legally required to do so, the Lenders shall grant a specific power of attorney in favor of the Agents, duly notarized and apostilled or legalized (as applicable), in order to authorize the Agents to execute any such additional documents or amendments that is necessary to reflect the Extension Amendment or shall otherwise appear before the notary together with the Agents to execute any such documents.

(3) Terms of Extension Offers and Extension Amendments. The terms of any Extended Commitments (and related Extended Loans) will be set forth in an Extension Offer and as agreed between the Borrowers and the Extending Lenders accepting such Extension Offer; provided that:

(a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders;

157

(b) except as to pricing terms (interest rate and fees) and maturity, the terms and conditions of such Revolving Facility Credit Exposure are substantially identical to (including as to ranking and priority), or, taken as a whole, no more favorable to the lenders or holders providing such Indebtedness than, those applicable to the Revolving Facility Commitments (and related Extended Loans) subject to such Extension Offer, as determined in good faith by a Responsible Officer of Holdings.

(4) Required Consents. No consent of any Lender or any other Person will be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Borrowers and each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Revolving Facility Commitments. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.22 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) will not require the consent of any other Lender or any other Person, and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 2.09 and 2.16) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.22 will not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.22.

SECTION 2.23 Defaulting Lenders.

(1) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement is restricted as set forth in Section 10.08.

(b) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise), will be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(ii) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder;

(iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit;

(iv) fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

(v) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to

158

satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Revolving Loans under this Agreement;

(vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(vii) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;

provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment will be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23(1)(b) will be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Certain Fees. Such Defaulting Lender (i) will not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.12(1) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers will be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) will not be entitled to receive any L/C Participation Fee pursuant to Section 2.12(2) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (although the Borrowers will be required to pay any such L/C Participation Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender to the non-Defaulting Lenders or Issuing Bank, in accordance with any reallocation of Fronting Exposure to non-Defaulting Lenders or as may be retained by the Issuing Bank, as the case may be).

(d) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05, the “U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Percentage”, “French Revolving Facility Percentage” and “European Revolving Facility Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender will be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that, each such reallocation will be given effect only to the extent such that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans will not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (i) (x) the U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (y) the aggregate outstanding amount of the U.S./Revolving Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender, (ii) (x) the French Revolving Facility Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (y) the aggregate outstanding amount of the French Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender or (iii) (x) the European Revolving

159

Facility Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (y) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender.

(e) So long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, in each case, in excess of (x) the applicable aggregate Revolving Facility Commitment minus (y) the applicable Revolving Facility Commitment of the Defaulting Lender.

(2) Elimination of Remaining Fronting Exposure. At any time that there exists a Defaulting Lender with a U.S./Canadian Revolving Facility Commitment, (i) immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, the U.S. Borrowers will deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure of the U.S. Revolving L/C Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(1)(d)) which will be held as security for the reimbursement obligations of the U.S. Borrowers with respect to the U.S. Revolving L/C Exposure, (ii) immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, the Canadian Borrowers will deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure of the Canadian Revolving L/C Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(1)(d)) which will be held as security for the reimbursement obligations of the Canadian Borrowers with respect to the Canadian Revolving L/C Exposure, (iii) immediately upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, the U.S. Borrowers will repay an amount of Swingline Loans that were made to the U.S. Borrowers sufficient to eliminate the Fronting Exposure of the Swingline Lender. At any time that there exists a Defaulting Lender with a French Revolving Facility Commitment, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, each French Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure of the French Revolving L/C Exposure with respect to such French Borrower (after giving effect to Section 2.23(1)(d)) which will be held as security for the reimbursement obligations of the French Borrowers with respect to the French Revolving L/C Exposure. At any time that there exists a Defaulting Lender with a European Revolving Facility Commitment, (i) immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, each German Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure of the German Revolving L/C Exposure of such German Borrower (after giving effect to Section 2.23(1)(d)) which will be held as security for the reimbursement obligations of such German Borrower with respect to the German Revolving L/C Exposure, (ii) immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, the Spanish Borrowers will deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure of the Spanish Revolving L/C Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(1)(d)) which will be held as security for the reimbursement obligations of the Spanish Borrowers with respect to the Spanish Revolving L/C Exposure and (ii) immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, the U.K. Borrowers will deliver to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure of the U.K. Revolving L/C Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(1)(d)) which will be held as security for the reimbursement obligations of the U.K. Borrowers with respect to the U.K. Revolving L/C Exposure.

(3) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata

160

basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Facility Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.23(1)(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.24 Effective Global Rate.

(1) For the purposes of article L.313-1 et seq. and article L.313-4 of the French Code monétaire et financier referring to articles L.314-1 to L.314-5 and R.314-1 et seq. of the French Code de la consommation, the French Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge that, by virtue of certain characteristics of the French Revolving Facility (and in particular the floating rate of interest, Holdings’ right to select the duration of each Interest Period and the uncertainty as to the amount to be effectively drawn from time to time under the French Revolving Facility), the taux effectif global cannot be calculated at the date of this Agreement.

(2) However, the French Borrowers acknowledge that they have received from the Administrative Agent a letter containing an indicative calculation of the taux effectif global, based on figured examples calculated on assumptions as to the taux de période and durée de période set out in a letter and on the assumption that the interest rate and all other fees, costs or expenses payable under this Agreement by any French Borrower will be maintained at their original level throughout the term of this Agreement (each a “TEG Letter”).

(3) The French Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge that the TEG Letters delivered in accordance with paragraph (2) above forms part of this Agreement.

187

(a) With respect to the U.S. Loan Parties and the Canadian Loan Parties:

(iii) Each such Blocked Account Agreement will require, during a Cash Dominion Period and upon receipt by Holdings of written notice thereof by the Administrative Agent, the ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day of all available cash balances and cash receipts, including the then contents or then entire ledger balance of each such Blocked Account net of such minimum balance (not to exceed $500,000 per account), if any, required by the bank at which such Blocked Account is maintained to an account established with, and subject to the control of, the Administrative Agent (each such account, a “Dominion Account”).

(iv) All collected amounts received in a Dominion Account during a Cash Dominion Period and upon receipt by Holdings of written notice thereof by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed and applied on a daily basis to the repayment of all Loans outstanding under this Agreement and to the payment of all other Obligations then due and owing pursuant to the waterfalls set forth in Section 2.18(3); provided that amounts applied pursuant to subclause (iv) of clause (a) thereof and subclause (iv) of clause (b) thereof will be applied:

(iii) Each such Blocked Account Agreement shall (i) provide the applicable Collateral Agent with control over such account and (ii) will require, during a Cash Dominion Period and upon receipt by Holdings of written notice thereof by the Administrative Agent, that the only way funds may be withdrawn from any such Blocked Account is by (or on the authorization or instruction of) the applicable Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent) in order to apply them in accordance pursuant to the waterfalls set forth in Section 2.18(3).

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged that it may be impractical for any such Loan Party to obtain a Blocked Account Agreement (or the equivalent) from the bank or depositary that maintains its Deposit Accounts or it may take longer than agreed to obtain a Blocked Account Agreement (or the equivalent) in which event the Administrative Agent will act reasonably in extending the time for obtaining such Blocked Account Agreement (or the equivalent) and granting any request to limit the scope of such Blocked Account Agreement or to not require a Blocked Account Agreement; provided that in each case, such Loan Party has exercised due diligence and reasonable efforts in providing such Deposit Account Control Agreement (or the equivalent). It is expressly acknowledged that (x) the Administrative Agent reserves the right to impose Reserves with respect to the failure to obtain any such Deposit Account Control Agreement over any Collection Accounts within such ninety (90) period referred to in Section 5.11(1)(d), at or after the end of such period (and if it does impose Reserves or agree to any other form of action acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the failure to obtain such Deposit Account Control Agreement shall not constitute an Event of Default) and (y) in connection with any failure to obtain any Blocked Account Agreement with respect to a Collection Account, the Administrative Agent may require the amendment of the relevant Security Documents on terms mutually agreeable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, acting reasonably, to the extent necessary to ensure the continuing effectiveness of the security created thereby notwithstanding that any Blocked Account Agreement has not been obtained, and (z) the form of the Blocked Account Agreement (or the equivalent) may vary from the forms obtained for Deposit Accounts located in the United States in order to conform to local requirements and customs.

(c) The foregoing clauses (a) and (b) will not apply to cash or Cash Equivalents constituting Term Priority Collateral required to be deposited in a blocked account in

189

favor of the lenders under the Term Loan Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement; provided, further, that the foregoing will not apply to cash or Cash Equivalents deposited, held or invested in any of the following:

(i) any Excluded Account; or

(ii) de minimis cash or cash equivalents from time to time inadvertently misapplied by Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5.11 will not apply to any Deposit Account that is opened or acquired by a Loan Party in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted under this Agreement, in each case, prior to the date that is 90 days (or such later date as may be consented to by the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) following the date of such account opening, Permitted Acquisition or other Investment, and the balances held in such Deposit Account at the date of such opening, Permitted Acquisition or other Investment shall not be counted toward the amount set forth in clause (1) of the definition of “Excluded Account” until the end of such 90 day period (or later period, if applicable);

(e) The Dominion Accounts will at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent.

(f) So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) no Cash Dominion Period is then in effect, the Loan Parties will have full and complete access to, and may direct the manner of disposition of, funds in the Blocked Accounts.

(g) Any amounts held or received in the Dominion Accounts (including all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, if any) at any time (i) after this Agreement has been terminated, the Commitments have been terminated and the Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of (x) Specified Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Obligations that, in each case, are not yet due and payable and (y) contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have expired, terminated or been cash collateralized or backstopped on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Bank or (ii) when all Events of Default have been cured and no Cash Dominion Period is then in effect will be remitted to the Loan Parties as the Borrowers may direct.

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions set out in section 5.10(1) above:

(a) each U.K. Loan Party shall, within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such longer period as may be consented to by the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed):

(i) enter into Blocked Account Agreements, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with the Collateral Agent and any bank with which any such U.K. Loan Party maintains any Blocked Account that is a Collection Account located in a Specified Foreign Jurisdiction (other than Canada) covering each such Blocked Account maintained with such bank; and

(ii) ensure that all proceeds of collections of Accounts received by or on behalf of such U.K. Loan Parties are deposited promptly upon receipt in accordance with

190

SECTION 5.13 Pensions.

(1) Ensure that any pension schemes operated by or maintained for the benefit of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries and/or any of their employees are fully funded to the extent required by applicable law where failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(3) Except with respect to the Specified UK Plans, ensure that, where required by applicable law, all pension schemes operated by or maintained for its benefit and/or any of the employees of any U.K. Loan Party are fully funded based on the statutory funding objective under sections 221 and 222 of the Xxxxxxxx Xxx 0000 or have a recovery plan in place with the intention of reaching fully funded status (and will make such contributions in full as they fall due under such recovery plan), and that no action or omission is taken by any U.K. Loan Party in relation to such a pension scheme which has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (including the termination or commencement of winding-up proceedings of any such pension scheme or a U.K. Loan Party ceasing to employ any member of such a pension scheme).

All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described on Schedule 5.16 within the time periods specified thereon, rather than as elsewhere provided in the Loan Documents).

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be incurred as Ratio Debt, any Borrower may, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Loan Documents, the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes Indenture will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception in clauses (1), (2) and (13), respectively, of the definition of “Permitted Debt” and shall not be permitted to be reclassified pursuant to this paragraph.

197

deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 6.01. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness will not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such Guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 6.01.

218

which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; (C) if the Loans have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (B) above, demand cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.05(11); and (D) exercise all rights and remedies granted to it under any Loan Document and all of its rights under any other applicable law or in equity, and (ii) in any event with respect to Holdings or the Borrowers described in clause (8) or (9) of this Section 8.01, the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other liabilities of the Borrowers accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, will automatically become due and payable and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have made a demand for cash collateral to the full extent permitted under Section 2.05(11), without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

SECTION 8.02 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, in the event that Holdings fails (or, but for the operation of this Section 8.02, would fail) to comply with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, until the expiration of the tenth Business Day subsequent to the date the Required Financial Statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(1) or (2) for the applicable fiscal quarter, Holdings shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of Holdings (collectively, the “Cure Right”) and, upon the receipt by Holdings of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by Holdings of such Cure Right, the Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to a pro forma adjustment by which Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter and any four-quarter period that contains such quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Performance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount (for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that there shall be no pro forma or other reduction in indebtedness (including by way of netting of cash)). The resulting increase to Consolidated EBITDA from the application of a Cure Amount shall not result in any adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA or any other financial definition for any purpose under this Agreement other than for purposes of calculating the Financial Performance Covenant. In each four fiscal quarter period there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised and the Cure Right may not be exercised more than five times during the term of this Agreement and, for purposes of this Section 8.02, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the Financial Performance Covenant. If, after giving effect to the adjustments in this Section 8.02, Holdings shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant, Holdings shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach of the Financial Performance Covenant and any related Default that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement. After Holdings has delivered a notice to the Administrative Agent to exercise the Cure Right, no extension of credit may be made under the Revolving Facility unless and until the Cure Amount is received by Holdings or the applicable Default of the Financial Performance Covenant is waived pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

SECTION 9.01 Authorization and Action.

(1) Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential counterparties to Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Obligations) hereby irrevocably

219

appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent (which shall not be incorporated, domiciled or acting from an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction) in the heading of this Agreement and its successors (which shall not be incorporated, domiciled or acting from an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction) to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents (except in respect of French Security Documents) and each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Lenders hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent any required powers of attorney to execute and enforce any Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent and/or and the Collateral Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(2) Without limiting the powers of the Collateral Agent, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted to the Attorney (as defined below) pursuant to the laws of the Province of Québec to secure the prompt payment and performance of any and all Obligations by any Loan Party, each of the Secured Parties party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Collateral Agent Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the present and future Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec (in such capacity, the “Attorney”), and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under this Agreement and any related deed of hypothec. The Attorney shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable law, and (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Collatearl Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Parties and Loan Parties. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Attorney as the person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity. The substitution of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 also constitute the substitution of the Attorney. The execution by the Attorney of any hypothecary or other agreements or instruments prior to the date of this Agreement is hereby ratified and confirmed.

(3) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or

220

reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or directions from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or directions have been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Holdings, the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(4) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duties other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or holder of any other Obligation, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties);

(b) where the Administrative Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant to a Loan Document expressed to be governed by the laws of Luxembourg, Canada, England and Wales, Germany, France, Spain, the Cayman Islands or Finland, the obligations and liabilities of the Administrative Agent to the Secured Parties in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law;

(c) to the extent that English law is applicable to the duties of the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, Section 1 of the Trustee Act 2000 shall not apply to the duties of the Collateral Agent in relation to the trusts constituted by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, where there are inconsistencies or conflict between the Trustee Xxx 0000 or the Trustee Xxx 0000 (UK) and the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement or such other Loan Document shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prevail and, in the case of any inconsistency with the Trustee Act 2000 (UK) , the provisions of this Agreement or such other Loan Document shall constitute a restriction or exclusion for the purposes of that Act; and

(d) nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(5) The Administrative Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their

221

respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

(6) None of the Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent, or any Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

(7) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12 (“Fees”), 2.13 (“Interest”), 2.15 (“Increased Costs”), 2.17 (“Taxes”) and 9.02 (“Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc.”)) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.02 (“Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc.”))

(8) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of Holdings, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

(9) Each French Revolving Lender and any Issuing Bank who has issued, or may from time to time issue, a French Letter of Credit to a French Borrower hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as agent in its name and on its behalf in connection with the execution and registration, as well as the management and the enforcement of the Liens created pursuant to the French Receivables Assignments, together with any other incidental rights, powers, authorities and discretions accessory to the mandate of the Collateral Agent. Each French Revolving Lender and any Issuing Bank

222

who has issued, or may from time to time issue, a French Letter of Credit to a French Borrower gives power to the Collateral Agent to execute in its name and on its behalf (i) each French Receivables Assignment, as the case may be, any additional security document executed pursuant to the provisions of the Finance Documents and (ii) any other document relating to the French Receivables Assignments, whether in respect of the constitution, registration, management, enforcement or release (and each French Revolving Lender and any Issuing Bank who has issued, or may from time to time issue, a French Letter of Credit to a French Borrower, agrees that the Collateral Agent may sign any document relating thereto on their behalf).

(10) All services rendered in Canada under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be performed by the Administrative Agent will be performed by a Canadian Qualified Lender.

SECTION 9.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc.

(1) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

(2) The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective applicable percentage of the Revolving Facility Commitments and/or Revolving Loans in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Facility Commitments shall have terminated and the Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such applicable percentage of the Revolving Facility Commitments and/or Revolving Loans immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Revolving Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

223

(3) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by Holdings, the Borrowers or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (vi) compliance by Affiliated Lenders with the terms hereof relating to Affiliated Lenders. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by Holdings, the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any Lender as a result of, any determination of any exchange rate or Dollar equivalent.

(4) Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Note as its holder until such Note has been assigned in accordance with Section 10.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 10.04, (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings and the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).

SECTION 9.03 [Reserved].

SECTION 9.04 Posting of Communications.

(1) Holdings and the Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Lenders materials or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to any Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).

(2) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the

224

Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization meth-od whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and each of Holdings and the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders and each of Holdings and the Borrowers hereby approves distribution of the communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(3) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER, ANY DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

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

(5) Each of the Lenders and each of Holdings and the Borrowers agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies

(6) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that:

(a) all the Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, means that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof;

(b) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” such Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat the

225

Borrower Materials as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to any Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws;

(c) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor;” and

(d) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled to treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked “PUBLIC” unless Holdings notifies the Administrative Agent that any such document contains MNPI: (1) the Loan Documents, (2) any notification of changes in the terms of the Loans, (3) any notification of the identity of Disqualified Institutions and (4) all information delivered pursuant to clauses (1), (2) and (3) of Section 5.04.

(7) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 9.05 The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitments and Loans, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Required Lenders. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, Holdings, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person were not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 9.06 Successor Administrative Agent.

(1) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and Holdings, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent (which shall not be incorporated, domiciled or acting from an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank selected from among the Lenders and which shall not be incorporated, domiciled or acting from an office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and 9.02 (“Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Indemnification, Etc.”), as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the resigned Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above.

SECTION 9.07 Acknowledgements of Lenders.

Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 9.08 Collateral Matters.

(1) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.06 (“Right of Set-off) or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

(2) In furtherance of the foregoing, and except in respect of the French Security Documents, and not in limitation thereof, no Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute Specified Hedge Obligations or Cash Management Obligation will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of any such Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Obligation shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

(3) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

SECTION 9.09 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent

228

shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

Each Lender and each other Secured Party (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any intercreditor agreement (if entered into) and (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any intercreditor agreement contemplated by this Agreement or Security Document (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the

229

incurrence by any Loan Party of any Indebtedness of such Loan Party that is permitted to be secured pursuant to Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of this Agreement, in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien on the Collateral (with such priority as may be designated by such Loan Party, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents)), and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.

(2) (a)Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (2)(b) of this Section 10.04, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution) (each such non-excluded Person, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Revolving Loans) at the time owing to it with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:

(i) Holdings; provided that no consent of Holdings shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate or branch of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that such consent shall be deemed to have been given if Holdings has not responded via written notice (including e-mail) within ten Business Days after delivery of a written request therefor by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that no consent of Holdings shall be required for any assignment by any Arranger (or any Affiliate thereof) pursuant to the initial syndication of the Loans;

(ii) the Administrative Agent; provided that, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 10.04, no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate or branch of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(iii) the Swingline Lender and/or Issuing Bank, for any assignment which increases the obligation of the Assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans, as applicable; and

(b) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5.0 million, unless each of Holdings and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that (1) no such consent of Holdings shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds (with simultaneous assignments to or by two or more Approved Funds being treated as one assignment for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirement), if any;

(ii) the assignee or assigning Lender for each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that such processing and recordation fee shall not be payable in the case of assignments by any Arranger or any Affiliate of the Arrangers;

(iii) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17;

237

(iv) the Assignee shall, in the Assignment and Acceptance documentation, and to the extent applicable, indicate, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and without liability to any Loan Party, which of the following categories it falls into with respect to a Spanish Loan Party (if applicable): (i) not a Spanish Qualifying Lender; (ii) a Spanish Qualifying Lender that is a Spanish Lender; (iii) a Spanish Qualifying Lender that is a Spanish Treaty Lender; or (iv) a Spanish Qualifying Lender that is an EU Lender, supplying, as the case may be, the tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(6);

(v) the Assignee will not be any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries;

(vi) the assignor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note issued to it with respect to the assigned Loan; and

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no assignment, transfer assignment, transfer or sub-participation in relation to a Loan by a Borrower may be effected to a Lender or sub-participant incorporated, domiciled or acting through a Facility Office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. In the same way, no Lender may change its Facility Office to a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction. A Lender must notify the Administrative Agent promptly following a change of Facility Office and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company as soon as is reasonably practicable of having received notice from any Lender of a change in that Lender’s Facility Office.

(3) For the purposes of this Section 10.04, “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 and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(a) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (3)(c) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender 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 of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (5) of this Section 10.04 to the extent such participation would be permitted by such Section 10.04(5).

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as the Administrative Agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest with respect thereto) of the Loans and Revolving L/C Exposure owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be

238

available for inspection by Holdings, the Issuing Bank and any Lender (solely with respect to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), all applicable tax forms, any Note outstanding with respect to the assigned Loan, the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (2)(b)(ii) of this Section 10.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (2) of this Section 10.04, the Administrative Agent promptly shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment, whether or not evidenced by a promissory note, shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (3)(c).

(4) 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: (a) 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 and that its Revolving Facility Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Revolving Loans, in each case, without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance; (b) except as set forth in clause (a) 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, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of Holdings, any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or the performance or observance by Holdings, any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (c) the Assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (d) the Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent Required Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.04, 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; (e) the Assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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; (f) the Assignee appoints and authorizes the 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 Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (g) the 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.

(5) (a) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or, subject to Section 10.04(9), the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or

239

waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (A) such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 10.04(1)(a) or clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 10.08(2) and (2) directly affects such Participant and (B) no other agreement with respect to amendment, modification or waiver may exist between such Lender and such Participant. Subject to clause (5)(b) of this Section 10.04, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section 10.04, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.19(2) as if it were an assignee pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section 10.04. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(2) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.18(4) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force by law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, or unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Holdings’ prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with Section 2.17(6) or Section 2.17(8) as though it were a Lender.

(6) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and in the case of any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 10.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

240

(7) Each Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (6) of this Section 10.04.

(8) If the Borrowers wish to replace the Loans or Commitments with ones having different terms (which would otherwise have been permitted in accordance with Section 10.08(4) if made as new Loans or Commitments), it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, where relevant, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank, and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders, instead of repaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 10.08 (with such replacement, if applicable, being deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 10.08(4)). Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 10.05(2). By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit A, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph (8) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

(9) (a)No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution to the extent the list thereof has been provided to all Lender as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless Holdings has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, (x) such Assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by Holdings of an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Assignee will not by itself result in such Assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (9)(a) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (9) shall apply.

(b) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without Holdings’ prior written consent in violation of clause (a) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, Holdings may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment, (B) [reserved] and/or (C) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or

241

participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan of reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such plan of reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such plan of reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrowers hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent, to provide the list of Disqualified Institutions to each Lender requesting the same (and each Borrower hereby agrees that any such requesting Lender may share the list of Disqualified Institutions with any potential assignee, transferee or participant); provided that the Lenders shall not be restricted from participating their obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of their Commitments and the Loans owing to them) to Disqualified Institutions if the Administrative Agent has not posted the list of Disqualified Institutions to the Platform.

(e) In case any transfer or transfer made under this Section in respect of the French Revolving Facility is made by way of novation, the transferring Lender maintains all its rights and privileges arising under any Security Documents and any Guarantee securing the obligations of any French Loan Party under this Agreement for the benefit of the transferee, in accordance with Articles 1334 of the French Civil Code.

(10) Specific provisions relating to Spain

(a) The Spanish Loan Parties and the other Secured Parties irrevocably agree that, in the event of any transfer and/or assignment pursuant to this agreement the Liens created by, together with all rights and remedies arising under, the Spanish Security Documents entered into by each Spanish Loan Party shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(b) For the purposes of article 1,528 of the Spanish Civil Code, the parties agree that, upon the Assignee becoming a Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement, any Spanish Security Documents shall be deemed to have been automatically assigned to the Assignee.

(c) At the request and cost of the Assignee and/or the Secured Party, the Assignee, the Secured Party and the Agents (if applicable) shall promptly notarize in Spain the duly completed assignment agreement in a Spanish Public Document and all the powers of attorney granted to the Agents shall be duly ratified. Any tax and cost (including, but not limited to, notarial and registry costs) triggered as result of such will be borne by the Assignee and/or the Secured Party (as agreed between them).

242

SECTION 10.05 Expenses; Indemnity.

(1) If the Transactions are consummated and the Closing Date occurs, each Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Syndication Agent in connection with the syndication of Revolving Facility, preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or by the Agents (and in the case of enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Lender, Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement of this Agreement (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence (including third party expenses) and initial and ongoing Collateral examination to the extent incurred with the reasonable prior approval of the Borrowers or provided for in this Agreement) or in connection with the administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, including the reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Syndication Agent, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the indemnified person affected by such conflict informs Holdings of such conflict, one additional firm of counsel for the Agents, the Documentation Agents and the Syndication Agent and, in the case of enforcement of this Agreement, each Lender, Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (in the aggregate). In relation to any Spanish Loan Party and any Loan Documents or Spanish Security Documents they incorporate or sign subject to the laws of Spain, the Borrowers and/or the corresponding Spanish Loan Party shall also pay the applicable pre-agreed notary public fees and registry fees whenever due. For the sake of clarity, notwithstanding the foregoing, as set out in Section 10.04(10), any taxes or costs (including, but not limited to, notarial or registry fees) arising from any transfer or assignment from the Lenders or Secured Parties shall be borne by the relevant Lender or Secured Party but not by the Loan Parties.

(2) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Documentation Agent, each Syndication Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, controlling Persons, equityholders, partners, members and other representatives and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable, documented and invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses (limited to reasonable and documented legal fees of a single counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs Holdings of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of an additional counsel for each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of:

(a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated hereby;

(b) the use of the proceeds of the Loans; or

(c) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the Transactions or any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by Holdings, any Borrower or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries or Affiliates or creditors or any other Person;

243

provided that no Indemnitee will be indemnified for any loss, claim, damage, liability, cost or expense to the extent it: (i) has been determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or (y) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or Related Parties under the Loan Documents or (ii) relates to any proceeding between or among Indemnitees other than (A) claims against Agents, Arrangers, Documentation Agents, Syndication Agent or their respective Affiliates, in each case, in their capacity or in fulfilling their role as the agent or agent, arranger, documentation agent, syndication agent, senior managing agent or any other similar role under the Revolving Facility (excluding their role as a Lender) to the extent such Persons are otherwise entitled to receive indemnification under this Section 10.05(2) or (B) claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of Holdings, the Borrowers or their Restricted Subsidiaries.

(3) Subject to and without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable, documented and invoiced fees, charges and disbursements of one U.S. and one Canadian firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one firm of counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, an additional counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole) and reasonable, documented and invoiced consultant fees, in each case, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of any claim related in any way to, Environmental Laws and Holdings, any Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, or any actual or alleged presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials at, under, on or from any property for which Holdings, any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to be liable under Environmental Laws, regardless of whether such matter is initiated by Holdings, any Borrower or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries or Affiliates or creditors or any other Person; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties.

(4) Any indemnification or payments required by the Loan Parties under this Section 10.05 shall not apply with respect to (a) Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim or (b) Taxes that are duplicative of any indemnification or payments required by the Loan Parties under Section 2.17 or which would be so duplicative but for any of the exemptions set out in Section 2.17.

(5) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnitee nor any Loan Party shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against the Loan Parties or any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Commitment, any Letter of Credit, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in clauses (1) through (3) of this Section 10.05. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(6) The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the

244

repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

SECTION 10.06 Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, any Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of Holdings, any Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document held by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank under this Section 10.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Revolving Lender or such Issuing Bank may have and may be exercised only at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

SECTION 10.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THOSE FOREIGN SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND PLEDGE AGREEMENTS LISTED ON SCHEDULE 1.01(3)) AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION).

SECTION 10.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(1) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (2) of this Section 10.08, 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 Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any case shall entitle such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(2) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except:

(a) as provided in Sections 2.21, 2.22 and 10.20;

(b) in the case of the Fee Letter, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto;

245

(c) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrowers and the Required Lenders, a copy of which shall be promptly provided to the Administrative Agent (provided that any failure to deliver such copy shall not invalidate such waiver, amendment or modification); and

(i) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party thereto and the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Required Lenders;

provided, however, that, except as provided in Sections 2.21, 2.22 and 10.20, no such agreement will:

(iii) increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender or decrease, forgive, waive or excuse the Commitment Fees or L/C Participation Fees or other fees of any Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default, mandatory prepayments or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender or a waiver or excuse of any fees);

(iv) extend any date on which payment of principal or interest (other than default interest) on any Loan or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees is due (it being acknowledged and agreed that any amendments to or waivers of conditions precedent, Defaults or Events of Default or mandatory prepayments shall not constitute an extension of a date on which a payment is due for purposes of this clause (iii)), without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(v) amend the provisions of Section 2.18 of this Agreement or any analogous provision of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in a manner that would by its terms alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or the relative priorities of such payments, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(vii) [reserved];

(viii) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 10.08 or the definitions of the terms “Supermajority Revolving Lenders” or “Required Lenders”, as the case may be, or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of any such required group of Lenders, as the case may be, required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee of the Obligations without the prior written consent of each Lender;

(xi) at any time when there is outstanding more than one tranche of Loans, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement which adversely impacts one or more tranches in a manner different than that which applies to one or more other tranches, without the consent of Lenders holding a majority of each tranche of such adversely affected Loans;

provided that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank acting as such at the effective date of such agreement, as applicable.

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

247

(4) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrowers may enter into Incremental Facility Amendments in accordance with Section 2.21, Extension Amendments in accordance with Section 2.22, and such Incremental Facility Amendments and Extension Amendments shall be effective to amend the terms of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents, in each case, without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

(5) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or waiver that by its terms affects the rights or duties of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the rights or duties of Lenders holdings Loans or Commitments of any other Class) will require only the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders.

(6) Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and conforming modifications to the Loan Documents may be made with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary to integrate any Incremental Commitments on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Loans.

Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrowers (without the need to obtain any consent of any Lender), any Loan Document may be amended to add terms that are favorable to the Lenders (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent).

(9) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no XXXX Event may be closed until the date that is (a) if there are no Mortgaged Properties in a Flood Zone, thirty (30) Business Days or (b) if there are any Mortgaged Properties in a Flood Zone, forty-five (45) days (in each case, the “Notice Period”), after the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders the following documents in respect of such real property: (i) a completed Flood Certificate from a third party vendor; (ii) if such real property is located in a “special flood hazard area”, (A) a notification to the applicable Loan Parties of that fact and (if applicable) notification to the applicable Loan Parties that flood insurance coverage is not available and (B) evidence of the receipt by the applicable Loan Parties of such notice; and (iii) if required by the Flood Program, evidence of required flood insurance; provided that any such XXXX Event may be closed prior to the Notice Period if the Administrative Agent shall have received confirmation from each applicable Lender that such Lender has completed any necessary flood insurance due diligence to its reasonable satisfaction.

SECTION 10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges that are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken,

248

received or reserved by such Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable to such Lender, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided that such excess amount shall be paid to such Lender on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation. In no event will the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received and any such excess amount received by any Lender will be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder to such Lender, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining will be paid to the Borrowers.

SECTION 10.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the agreements regarding certain Fees referred to herein constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among or representations from the parties or their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (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 THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

SECTION 10.12 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall 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 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided herein. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “TIFF”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

SECTION 10.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.15 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(1) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof (collectively, “New York Courts”), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (other than with respect to actions in respect of rights under any Security Document governed by laws other than the laws of the State of New York or with respect to any Collateral subject thereto), 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 shall be heard and determined in such New York State court 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, and the parties hereto agree that the Agents and Lenders retain the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law and to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights under any Security Documents or the enforcement of any judgment. Each of the Loan Parties agrees that (a) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be inconvenient and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the Lenders who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction), and (b) in any such action or proceeding brought against any Loan Party in any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other affirmative relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will preclude such Loan Party from asserting or seeking the same in the New York Courts.

(2) 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 hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of Holdings, the Borrowers and their Restricted Subsidiaries hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers the U.S. Borrowers (including any replacement process agent reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each a “Process Agent”) (and the U.S. Borrowers hereby accept and agree to serve as Process Agent), in the case of any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering a copy of such process to such person in care of any Process Agent at such Process Agent’s address, and each of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 10.16 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and each of the Agents agrees (and agrees to cause each of its respective Affiliates) to use all information provided to it by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrowers or their Restricted Subsidiaries under the Loan Documents or otherwise in connection with the Transactions solely for the purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not publish, disclose or otherwise divulge such information (other than information that (x) has become generally available to the public other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by such party; (y) has been independently developed by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent without violating this Section 10.16; or (z) was available to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent from a third party having, to such

250

Person’s knowledge, no obligations of confidentiality to Holdings, any Borrower or any other Loan Party) and shall not reveal the same other than to its directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors with a need to know or to any Person that approves or administers the Revolving Facility on behalf of such Lender or any numbering, administration or settlement service providers (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16), except:

(i) to the extent necessary to comply with law or any legal process or the requirements of any Governmental Authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or of any securities exchange on which securities of the disclosing party or any Affiliate of the disclosing party are listed or traded, in which case (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any bank accountant or any governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority) such Person agrees, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, to inform Holdings promptly thereof prior to disclosure;

(ii) as part of normal reporting or review procedures to, or examinations by, Governmental Authorities or any bank accountants or auditors or any governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, in which case (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by any such bank accountant or auditor or any governmental or regulatory authority exercising examination regulatory authority) such Person agrees, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, to inform Holdings promptly thereof prior to disclosure;

(iii) to its parent companies, Affiliates (and its Affiliates’ directors, trustees, officers, employees and advisors) or auditors (so long as each such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16);

(iv) in order to enforce its rights under any Loan Document in a legal proceeding;

(v) to any pledgee or assignee under Section 10.04(6) or any other prospective or actual Assignee of, or prospective or actual Participant in, any of its rights under this Agreement (so long as such Person shall have been instructed to keep the same confidential in accordance with this Section 10.16);

(vi) to ratings agencies or the CUSIP Service Bureau on a confidential basis;

(vii) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in Hedge Agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.16); and

(viii) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.

(ix) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such information shall be disclosed to a Disqualified Institution that constitutes a Disqualified Institution at the time of such disclosure without Holdings’ prior written consent.

SECTION 10.17 [Reserved].

251

SECTION 10.18 Release of Liens and Guarantees. In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the Equity Interests or assets of any Loan Party (other than Equity Interests of a Borrower) to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction not prohibited by the Loan Documents or any Loan Party becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, at the request of Holdings, any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests or assets shall, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, be automatically released and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings and at the Borrowers’ expense in connection with such release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Equity Interests or assets, and, in the case of a disposition of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Loan Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including through merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) and as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party would cease to be a Restricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Security Documents shall, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to) and at the Borrowers’ expense take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Holdings to terminate such Subsidiary Loan Party’s obligations under this Agreement and applicable Security Documents. In addition, the Administrative Agent agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by Holdings and at the Borrowers’ expense to terminate the Liens and security interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of (i) Specified Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Obligations in each case that are not then due and payable and (ii) contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations that are not yet due and payable and for which no claim has been asserted) are paid in full and all Commitments are terminated and all Letters of Credit expired, terminated, cash collateralized or backstopped on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Bank.

SECTION 10.19 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the 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, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 10.20 Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements.

(1) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the discharge in full of all Term Loan Claims (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the Loan Parties shall not be required to act or refrain from acting under any Security Document with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral in any manner that would result in a “Default” or “Event of Default” (as defined in any Term Loan Document) under the terms and provisions of the Term Loan Documents. Each Lender hereunder (i) consents to the subordination of Liens on Term Priority Collateral provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (iii) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement as ABL Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and on behalf of such Lender. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the lenders under the Term Loan Credit Agreement to extend credit and such lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

252

(2) The parties hereto authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any (x) Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement in the form attached hereto or in such other form as may be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (y) any other intercreditor agreement as may be contemplated herein or determined by the Administrative Agent to be consistent herewith, in such form as may be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may from time to time enter into a modification of the Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement, as the case may be, so long as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that such modification is consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.21 No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The Borrowers assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrowers shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrowers that the Borrowers prove were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

SECTION 10.22 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of Holdings and each Borrower acknowledges and agree that: (1) (a) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents, the Lenders, and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Holdings and the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and the Arrangers, on the other hand; (b) the Borrowers and Holdings have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate; and (c) the Borrowers and Holdings are capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (2) (a) each Agent, each lender party hereto, and each Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Borrower, Holdings, or any other Person and (b) neither any Agent, any lender, nor any Arranger has any obligation to any Borrower, Holdings or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (3) the Agents, the Arrangers, the lenders party hereto and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, and neither any Agent, any lender party hereto, nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates.

253

SECTION 10.23 Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Revolving Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

SECTION 10.24 Holdings as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Holdings as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Loan Party has been appointed in such role. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Holdings (a) to provide Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and any notice or instruction provided Holdings shall be deemed to be given by Borrowers hereunder and shall bind each Borrower), (b) to receive notices and instructions from the Administrative Agent and Lenders (and any notice or instruction provided by Administrative Agent or any Lender to Holdings in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been given to each Borrower), and (c) to take such action as Holdings deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Accounts and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group.

SECTION 10.25 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(1) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(2) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

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

(b) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

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

254

SECTION 10.26 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from them to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures 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 Administrative Agent from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

SECTION 10.27 No Hardship. Each French Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges that the provisions of article 1195 of the French Civil Code shall not apply to it with respect to its obligations under the French Revolving Facility and that it shall not be entitled to make any claim under article 1195 of the French Civil Code.

SECTION 10.28 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

(1) Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable Canadian anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Secured Parties may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party or any prospective assignee or participant of a Secured Party, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

(2) If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Secured Party, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Secured Party and the Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation;

(b) shall provide to each Secured Party copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness; and

(c) Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Secured Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan

255

Parties on behalf of any Secured Party, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

Schedule 1.01(2)

GUARANTY AND SECURITY PRINCIPLES

1. Guaranty and Security Principles

(a) The guarantees and security to be provided under the Loan Documents will be given in accordance with the security principles set out in this Schedule (the “Guaranty and Security Principles”). This Schedule identifies the Guaranty and Security Principles and addresses the manner in which the Guaranty and Security Principles will impact on and determine the extent and terms of the guarantees and security proposed to be provided in relation to the facilities made available under this Agreement.

(b) The Guaranty and Security Principles embody the recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal and practical difficulties in obtaining effective or commercially reasonable guarantees and/or security from Holdings and all relevant Subsidiaries in each jurisdiction in which it has been agreed that guarantees and security will be granted by Holdings and its Subsidiaries. In particular:

(i) general legal and statutory limitations, regulatory restrictions, financial assistance, corporate benefit, fraudulent preference, equitable subordination, tax instructions (including, but not limited to, “transfer pricing”, “thin capitalisation”, “earnings stripping”, “controlled foreign corporation” and other tax restrictions), “exchange control restrictions”, “capital maintenance” rules and “liquidity impairment” rules, retention of title claims, employee consultation or approval requirements and similar principles may limit the ability of Holdings or a Subsidiary to provide a guarantee or security or may require that the guarantee or security be limited as to amount or otherwise and, if so, the guarantee or security will be limited accordingly, provided that to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent before signing any applicable security or accession document, Holdings or the relevant Subsidiary (as applicable) shall use reasonable endeavours (but without incurring material cost and without adverse impact on commercial relationships with third parties) to overcome any such obstacle or otherwise such guarantee or security document shall be subject to such limit;

(ii) a key factor in determining whether or not a guarantee or security will be taken (and in respect of the security, the extent of its perfection and/or registration) is the applicable time and cost (including, but not limited to, adverse effects on taxes, interest deductibility, stamp duty, registration taxes, notarial costs and all applicable legal fees) which will not be disproportionate to the benefit accruing to the Secured Parties of obtaining such guarantee or security;

(iii) unless agreed otherwise, the Subsidiaries will not be required to give guarantees or enter into security documents if they are not wholly owned by Holdings and/or other Subsidiaries or if it is not within the legal capacity of the relevant Subsidiaries or if it would conflict with the fiduciary or statutory duties of their directors or contravene any applicable legal, regulatory or contractual prohibition or restriction or have the potential to result in a material risk of personal or criminal liability for any director or officer of or for Holdings or any Subsidiary, provided that, to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent before signing any applicable security document or accession document, the relevant Subsidiary shall use reasonable endeavours (but without incurring material cost and without adverse impact on commercial relationships with third parties) to overcome any such obstacle or otherwise such security document shall be subject to such limit;

(iv) having regard to the principle in (ii) above, Holdings and the Administrative Agent shall discuss in good faith (having regard to customary practice in applicable jurisdictions) with a view to determining whether certain security can be provided by the relevant Loan Party granting promissory security in favour of the Secured Parties coupled with an irrevocable power of attorney to the Collateral Agent as opposed to a definitive legal mortgage or pledge over the relevant asset;

(v) guarantees and security will be limited so that the aggregate of notarial costs and all registration and like taxes and duties relating to the provision of security will not exceed an amount as agreed between Holdings and the Collateral Agent;

(vi) where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the cost of granting security over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such security, security will be granted over the material assets only;

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

(viii) any asset subject to a legal requirement, contract, lease, licence, instrument, regulatory constraint (including any agreement with any government or regulatory body) or other third party arrangement, which may prevent or condition the asset from being charged, secured or being subject to the applicable security document (including requiring a consent of any third party, supervisory board or works council (or equivalent)) and any asset which, if subject to the applicable security document, would give a third party the right to terminate or otherwise amend any rights, benefits and/or obligations with respect to Holdings or any Subsidiary in respect of the asset or require the relevant chargor to take any action materially adverse to the interests of Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries, in each case

will be excluded from a guarantee or security document provided that reasonable endeavours (exercised for a specified period of time) to obtain any such consent, release or waiver in respect of such asset shall be used by Holdings and/or the relevant Subsidiaries (as applicable) if the Collateral Agent specifies that the asset is material and Holdings is satisfied that such endeavours will not involve placing commercial relationships with third parties in jeopardy;

(ix) the giving of a guarantee, the granting of security and the registration and/or the perfection of the security granted will not be required if it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of Holdings or the relevant Subsidiary to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents (including dealing with the secured assets and all contractual counterparties or amending, waiving or terminating (or allowing to lapse) any rights, benefits or obligations, in each case prior to a Declared Default which is continuing), and any requirement under the Guaranty and Security Principles to seek consent of any person or take or not take any other action shall be subject to this paragraph (ix);

(x) any security document will only be required to be notarised if required by law in order for the relevant security to become effective, enforceable or admissible in evidence;

(xi) no guarantee or security will be required to be given by any acquired person or asset (and no consent shall be required to be sought with respect thereto) which are required to support acquired indebtedness to the extent such acquired indebtedness is permitted by this Agreement to remain outstanding after an acquisition. No member of a target group or other entity acquired pursuant to an acquisition not prohibited under the terms of this Agreement shall be required to become a Guarantor or grant security with respect to the facilities made available under this Agreement if prevented by the terms of the documentation governing that acquired indebtedness or if becoming a Guarantor or the granting of any security would give rise to an obligation (including any payment obligation) under or in relation thereto; no security will be granted over any asset secured for the benefit of any Permitted Debt and/or to the extent constituting Permitted Liens unless specifically required by a Loan Document to the contrary;

(xii) to the extent possible and unless required by applicable law, there should be no action required to be taken in relation to the guarantees or security when any lender assigns or transfers any of its participation to a new lender (and in the case of Spain, the Parties agree that, pursuant to article 1528 of the Spanish Civil Code, the relevant assignee will automatically become a pledgee upon full or partial assignment to third parties of the pledgees’ contractual position in terms set out in the Loan Documents);

(xiii) no title investigations or other diligence on assets will be required and no title insurance will be required;

(xiv) security will not be required over any assets subject to security in favour of a third party (provided that such security constitutes a Permitted Lien) if prevented by the terms of such arrangement or any cash constituting regulatory capital (and such assets or cash shall be excluded from any relevant security document);

(xv) (i) to the extent legally effective, all security will be given in favour of the Collateral Agent and not the secured creditors individually (with the Collateral Agent to hold one set of security documents for all the Secured Parties); (ii) “parallel debt” provisions will be used where necessary (and included in this Agreement and/or the Intercreditor Agreement and not the individual security documents); (iii) Spanish Liens shall be given to the Secured Parties individually or through the Collateral Agent (but, in either case, neither Holdings nor or its Subsidiaries shall bear any costs relating to any powers of attorney or Spanish tax numbers which may be required for, or in connection with, the notarisation of the relevant Security Documents), and parallel debt provisions shall be disregarded in respect of Spanish Liens;

(xvi) guarantees and security will not be required from or over the assets of, any joint venture or similar arrangement, any minority interest or any Subsidiary that is not wholly-owned by Holdings and/or other Subsidiaries;

(xvii) no security may be provided on terms which are inconsistent with the turnover or sharing provisions in the Intercreditor Agreement;

(xviii) no guarantee or security shall guarantee or secure any “Excluded Swap Obligations” defined in accordance with the LSTA Market Advisory Update dated February 15, 2013 entitled “Swap Regulations’ Implications for Loan Documentation”, and any update thereto by the LSTA;

(xix) other than a general security agreement and related filing, no perfection, filing or other action will be required with respect to assets of a type not owned by Holdings or the Subsidiaries.

(c) Notwithstanding any term of any Loan Document: no loan or other obligation of a US Borrower under any Loan Document may be, directly or indirectly: (i) guaranteed by any controlled foreign corporation (as defined in Section 957(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended) (“CFC”) or by an entity (a “FSHCO”) that has no material assets other than equity interests (or equity interests and indebtedness) of one or more CFCs, or guaranteed by a subsidiary of a CFC or FSHCO; (ii) secured by any assets of a CFC, FSHCO or a subsidiary of a CFC or a FSHCO (including any CFC or FSHCO equity interests held directly or indirectly by a CFC or FSHCO); (iii) secured by a pledge or other

security interest in any voting stock of any CFC or FSHCO in excess of 65 per cent. of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such CFC or FSHCO (and 100% of the non-voting equity interests); or (iv) guaranteed by any subsidiary or secured by a pledge of or security interest in any subsidiary or other asset, if it would result in material adverse US tax consequences as reasonably determined by the Borrowers, Holdings and the Administrative Agent.

2. Guarantees

(a) Subject to the guarantee limitations set out in the Loan Documents and herein, each guarantee will be an upstream, cross-stream and downstream guarantee for all liabilities of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of these Guaranty and Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction (references to “security” to be read for this purpose as including guarantees). Security documents will secure the guarantee obligations of all of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of these Guaranty and Security Principles in each relevant jurisdiction.

(b) Luxembourg Guarantee Limitations

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the payment obligations of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg (hereafter, a “Luxembourg Guarantor”) for the obligations of any Borrower which is not a Subsidiary of that Luxembourg Guarantor shall be limited at any time, to an aggregate amount not exceeding ninety-five (95) per cent. of the greater of:

(A) the Luxembourg Guarantor’s (A) own funds (capitaux propres) as determined by Annex 1 of the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 19 December 2015 in relation to, inter alia, article 34 of the Luxembourg law of 19 December 2002 on the Register of Commerce and Companies, on accounting and on annual accounts of the companies, as amended (the “2002 Act”) (the “Net Assets”), and (B) the debt owed by such Luxembourg Guarantor to any of its direct or indirect shareholders and to Holdings or any Subsidiary (as determined by Annex 1 of the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 18 December 2015 in relation to, inter alia, article 34 of the 2002 Act, and (C) the subordinated debt (dettes subordonnées) (as determined in the general accounting plan (Account 191)) of the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor, and (D) any subordinated debt (dettes subordonnées) owed and incurred by such Luxembourg Guarantor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement (the debts referred to in (B), (C) and (D) above being (the “Luxembourg Subordinated Debt”)), each as reflected in Luxembourg Guarantor’s last annual accounts available as at the date of this Agreement; and

(B) the Luxembourg Guarantor’s Net Assets and the Luxembourg Subordinated Debt as reflected in its last annual accounts available as at the date the Guarantee is called.

(ii) For the purpose of this paragraph 2(b), the Net Assets shall be valued either (i) at the fair market value, or (ii) if no such market value has been determined, in accordance with GAAP or IFRS, as applicable, and the relevant provisions of the 2002 Act.

(iii) The limitation set forth above shall not apply to any amounts borrowed under this Agreement and made available, in any form whatsoever, to such Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.

(i) The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of France (hereafter, a “French Guarantor”) under the Loan Documents and in particular under the Guaranty referred to in this Agreement, shall not extend to include any obligations or liabilities which if incurred would constitute a breach of the financial assistance prohibitions within the meaning of article L. 225-216 of the French Code de commerce and/or would constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of article L. 241-3, L. 242-6 or L. 244-1 of the French Code de commerce or any other law or regulations having the same effect, as interpreted by French courts.

(ii) The obligations and liabilities of each French Guarantor under the Loan Documents, and in particular under the Guaranty referred to in this Agreement, for the payment obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document, or in respect of any Cash Management Obligations or in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement, as the case may be, of any other Loan Parties which are not direct or indirect Subsidiaries of such French Guarantor shall be limited at any time to an amount equal to the aggregate of the proceeds of the Loans to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent by any other Loan Party to that French Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries under intercompany loans (including pursuant to cash pooling arrangements) or similar arrangements and outstanding on the date a payment is requested to be made by such French Guarantor under the Guaranty or under any relevant Loan Document (the “Maximum Guaranteed Amount”), it being specified that notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, any payment made by such French Guarantor under the Guaranty or under any relevant Loan Document in respect of the payment obligations of any other Loan Party shall immediately reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the intra-group loans, or any sums, due by such French Guarantor under such intra-group loan (including pursuant to cash pooling arrangements) or similar arrangements referred to above.

(iii) The obligations and liabilities of each French Guarantor under the Loan Documents, and in particular under the Guaranty referred to in this Agreement, for the payment obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document, or in respect of any Cash Management Obligations or in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement, as the case may be, of each of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries which are or become Loan Party from time to time under the Loan Documents shall cover all amounts incurred by such Subsidiary (x) as Borrower only but not as Guarantor (if they are not Loan Parties incorporated under the laws of France (hereafter, a “French Loan Party”)) or (y) as Borrower and/or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (ii) above, Guarantors (if they are French Loan Parties); and

(iv) for the avoidance of doubt, any payment made by a French Guarantor under paragraph (ii) above shall reduce the Maximum Guaranteed Amount

(v) It is acknowledged that no French Guarantor is acting jointly and severally with the other Guarantors and no French Guarantor shall therefore be considered as “co-débiteur solidaire” as to its obligations pursuant to the Guarantee given pursuant therewith.

For the purpose of this paragraph (c), “Subsidiary” means, in relation to any company, another company which is controlled by it within the meaning of articles L.233-3 of the French Code de commerce.

(b) Spanish Guarantee Limitations

(i) Regarding the obligations and liabilities of any payment obligations of any Spanish Guarantor under the guarantees granted in connection with Loan Documents (the “Guarantees”), each Spanish Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the scope and provisions of its respective obligations under the Guarantees granted by each of them will not be affected by: (i) the approval or ratification of a composition agreement (“convenio”) as a result of the bankruptcy declaration (“concurso”) of any of the Borrowers, in accordance with article 135.2 of the Spanish Insolvency Act (“Ley 00/0000 xx 0 xx xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx); xx (xx) the approval or execution of a court-sanctioned out-of-court workout (an homologated refinancing agreement (“acuerdo de refinanciación homologado”)) and which may be entered into as a result of a pre-insolvency or insolvency of any of the Borrowers (in any case, prior to the declaration of bankruptcy, whether voluntary or mandatory) under paragraph 9 of the 4th Additional Provision of the Spanish Insolvency Act, to the extent that such Lender has not expressly accepted (by voting in favor or otherwise) the effect contemplated by such composition agreement or court-sanctioned out-of-court workout, as the case may be, of the relevant Borrowers on the scope and provisions of the Guarantees.

(ii) Unless the Lender expressly agrees (by voting in favor or otherwise) a write-off to the Guarantees, the Guarantees shall secure at any time 100% of the payment obligations under the Loan Documents.

3. Governing law and scope

(a) The guarantees and security to be provided in respect of the facilities made available under this Agreement in accordance with the Guaranty and Security Principles are only to be given by the Loan Parties and Material Subsidiaries and no security or guarantees shall be required to be given by any joint venture or similar arrangement, any minority interest or any Subsidiary that is not wholly owned by Holdings and/or other Subsidiaries.

(b) All security (other than share security) will be governed by the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the applicable grantor of the security and no action in relation to security (including any perfection step, further assurance step, filing or registration) will be required in jurisdictions where the grantor of the security is not incorporated. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, (i) share security over any subsidiary will be governed by the law of the place of incorporation of that subsidiary; (ii) any security over an inter-company loan between Holdings or the Borrowers and any of their respective Subsidiaries which on-lends equity contributions or proceeds of any of the facilities made available under this Agreement will be governed by the governing law of such intra-group loan document and, in each case, any perfection step, further assurance step, filing or registration in connection therewith shall be subject to such jurisdiction and (if applicable) the jurisdiction of incorporation of the relevant security provider; and (iii) a notice may be served in relation to any security over an intra-group receivables on the relevant Loan Party regardless of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

4. Terms of security documents

The following principles will be reflected in the terms of any security taken in connection with the facilities made available under this Agreement:

(a) security will not be enforceable until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing;

(b) the Secured Parties (or any agent or similar representative appointed by them at the relevant time) will only be able to exercise a power of attorney or set-off granted to them under the terms of the Loan Documents (i) following the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing or (ii) where Holdings or the relevant Subsidiary granting the security has failed to comply with a perfection or further assurance obligation and any applicable grace period thereto has expired;

(c) the security documents should only operate to create security rather than to impose new commercial obligations or repeat clauses in other Loan Documents;

accordingly (i) they should not contain additional representations, undertakings or indemnities (including, without limitation, in respect of insurance, information, maintenance or protection of assets or the payment of fees, costs and expenses) unless these are the same as or consistent with those contained in this Agreement or are required for the creation, perfection or extension of security in accordance with local law; and (ii) nothing in any security document shall (or be construed to) prohibit any transaction, matter or other step (or a grantor of security taking or entering into the same or dealing in any manner whatsoever in relation to any asset (including all rights, claims, benefits, proceeds and documentation, and contractual counterparties in relation thereto) the subject of (or expressed to be the subject of) the security agreement if not prohibited by the terms of the other Loan Documents (and accordingly to such extent, the Collateral Agent shall promptly effect releases, confirmations, consents to deal or similar steps always at the cost of the relevant grantor of the security);

(d) no security will be granted over parts, stock, moveable plant, equipment or receivables if it would require labelling, segregation or periodic listing or specification of such parts, stock, moveable plant, equipment or receivables;

(e) perfection will not be required in respect of (i) vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title or (ii) letter of credit rights and tort claims (or the local law equivalent);

(f) in no event shall control agreements (or perfection by control or similar arrangements) be required with respect to any assets (including deposit or securities accounts) (unless the Loan Documents expressly provide for any specific account (by reference to its purpose) to be subject to specific restrictions on use);

(g) security will, where possible and practical, automatically create security over future assets of the same type as those already secured; where local law requires supplemental pledges or notices to be delivered in respect of future acquired assets in order for effective and enforceable security to be created or perfected over that class of asset, such supplemental pledges or notices will be provided only upon request of the Collateral Agent and at intervals no more frequent than annually or at other intervals agreed between Holdings and the Collateral Agent; and

(h) each security document must contain a clause which records that if there is a conflict between the security document and the Intercreditor Agreement then (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement will take priority over the provisions of the security document.

5. Bank accounts

(a) If a Loan Party grants security over its bank accounts it will be free to deal, operate and transact business in relation to those accounts (including opening and closing accounts) until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing

(unless the Loan Documents expressly provide for any specific account (by reference to its purpose) to be subject to specific restrictions on use). For the avoidance of doubt, (unless the Loan Documents expressly provide for any specific account (by reference to its purpose) to be subject to specific restrictions on use) there will be no “fixed” security over bank accounts, cash or receivables or any obligation to have a specific balance, hold or pay cash or receivables in a particular account until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing.

(b) If required by local law to perfect the security and if possible without disrupting operation of the account, notice of the security will be served on the account bank in relation to applicable accounts within 10 Business Days of the date of the security document (or accession thereto) unless an earlier notice is required for perfection purposes under the relevant local law, and the applicable grantor of the security will use its reasonable endeavours to obtain an acknowledgement of that notice within 10 Business Days of service unless an earlier acknowledgement is required for perfection purposes under the relevant local law. Save in the case of a bank account pledge governed by the laws of Luxembourg, if the grantor of the security has used its reasonable endeavours but has not been able to obtain acknowledgement or acceptance its obligation to obtain acknowledgement will cease on the expiry of that 10 Business Day period (or earlier, only if perfection requires an earlier notice under the relevant local law). Irrespective of whether notice of the security is required for perfection, if the service of notice would prevent Holdings or any Subsidiary from using a bank account in the course of its business (and Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary demonstrates so to the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably)) no notice of security will be served until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing.

(c) Any security over bank accounts will be subject to any security interests in favour of the account bank which are created either by law or in the standard terms and conditions of the account bank. No grantor of security will be required to change its banking arrangements or standard terms and conditions in connection with the granting of bank account security.

(d) If required under applicable local law, security over bank accounts will be registered subject to the general principles set out in these Guaranty and Security Principles.

6. Fixed assets

If a Loan Party grants security over its material fixed assets it will be free to deal with those assets in the course of its business until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing. No notice, whether to third parties or by attaching a notice to the fixed assets, will be prepared or given until the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing.

7. Insurance policies

A Loan Party may grant security over its material insurance policies (excluding any third party liability or public liability insurance and any directors and officers insurance in respect of which claims thereunder may be mandatorily prepaid, provided that the relevant insurance policy allows security to be so granted). Notice of any security interest over insurance policies will only be served on an insurer of the assets of Holdings or its Subsidiaries upon written request of the Collateral Agent, which may only be given after the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing.

Prior to a Declared Default which is continuing, no loss payee or other endorsement will be made on the insurance policy and no Secured Party will be named as co-insured.

8. Intellectual property

(a) Subject to paragraph 1(viii) above, no security will be granted over any intellectual property which cannot be secured under the terms of the relevant licensing agreement.

(b) If security is granted over the relevant material intellectual property, the grantor shall be free to deal with, use, licence and otherwise commercialise those assets in the course of its business (including allowing its intellectual property to lapse if no longer material to its business) until a Declared Default which is continuing.

(c) Notice of any security interest over intellectual property will only be served on a third party from whom intellectual property is licensed upon written request of the Collateral Agent, which may only be given after the occurrence of a Declared Default which is continuing. No intellectual property security will be required to be registered under the law of that security document, the law where the grantor is regulated, at any relevant supra-national registry or at any other relevant register. Security over intellectual property rights will be taken on an “as is, where is” basis and neither Holdings nor its Subsidiaries will be required to procure any changes to, or corrections of filings on, external registers.

9. Real estate

(a) No fixed security shall be granted over real property (unless otherwise agreed or pursuant to Finnish law mortgage (subject to an agreed materiality threshold) or a general or all asset security document (such as a debenture (subject to the rest of these Guaranty and Security Principles) which charges all of the assets of a Loan Party but excluding (i) any unregistered real property which, if subject to any such security would be required to be registered under the relevant land registry laws (provided that such real property shall only be excluded for so long as it remains unregistered), and (ii) any leasehold real property that has 25 years or less to run on the lease or has a rack rent payable.

(b) There will be no obligation to investigate title, provide surveys or carry out any other insurance or environmental due diligence.

(c) There will be no obligation to obtain landlord waivers, collateral access agreements or bailee letters with respect to any location or asset.

10. Shares

(a) Security over shares will be limited to those over a Loan Party.

(b) Until a Declared Default has occurred and is continuing, the legal title of the shares will remain with the relevant grantor of the security (unless transfer of title on granting such security is customary in the applicable jurisdiction) and any grantor of share security will be permitted to retain and to exercise voting rights and powers in relation to any shares and other related rights charged by it and receive, own and retain all assets and proceeds in relation thereto without restriction or condition provided that any exercise of rights does not materially adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Security over the shares or cause an Event of Default to occur. With respect to security over shares in a German or French company only, the voting rights will remain with the pledgor even after a Declared Default has occurred, provided, however, that such voting rights may only be exercised in a manner which does not materially and adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Security over the shares.

(c) Where customary and/or applicable as a matter of law, following a request by the Collateral Agent, on, or as soon as reasonably practicable following execution of the security or accession document, the applicable share certificate (or other documents evidencing title to the relevant shares) and a stock transfer form executed in blank (or applicable law equivalent) will be provided to the Collateral Agent upon its request.

In this Schedule, “Declared Default” means the giving of notice by the Administrative Agent under Section 8.01(i)(A).
