paying to the Applicable Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later

or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on
such date, then not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day
immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice and (ii)
with respect to an Alternative Currency LC Disbursement, on the Business Day

subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request, in accordance
with Section 2.03 or Section 2.04, that such payment be financed with a US ABR

financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged
and replaced by the resulting US ABR Borrowing or US Swingline Loan, (B) in the
case of an Alternative Currency LC Disbursement in any Alternative Currency
other than Canadian Dollars, if such LC Disbursement is not less than 250,000
units of the applicable currency, the applicable Alternative Currency Borrower
may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request, in
accordance with Section 2.03 or Section 2.04, that such payment be financed with
a EURIBOR Borrowing or a Euro Swingline Loan, in the case of an LC Disbursement
in Euros, or a Eurocurrency Borrowing, in the case of an LC Disbursement in any

and replaced by the resulting Borrowing or Euro Swingline Loan and (C) in the
case of an LC Disbursement in Canadian Dollars, if such LC Disbursement is not
less than C$50,000, the applicable Borrower may, subject to the conditions to
Borrowing set forth herein, request, in accordance with Section 2.03, that such
payment be financed with a Canadian Prime Loan in an equivalent amount and, to

37

obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the
resulting Canadian Prime Loan. If such Borrower fails to make such payment when
due, the Applicable Agent shall notify each appropriate Lender of the applicable
LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such
notice, each such Lender shall pay to the Applicable Agent its Applicable
Percentage of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as
provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section
2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of such Lender),
and the Applicable Agent shall promptly pay to the Applicable Issuing Lender the
amounts so received by it from such Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Applicable Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the
Applicable Agent shall distribute such payment to the Applicable Issuing Lender
or, to the extent that the Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph
to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the
Applicable Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a
Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC
Disbursement (other than the funding of a US ABR Loan, a Swingline Loan, a
Eurocurrency Loan, a EURIBOR Loan or a Canadian Prime Loan, as contemplated
above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)    Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and
irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) 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, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for
the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or
provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ Obligations hereunder. Neither
the Agents, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lenders, nor any of their Related
Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in
connection with the issuance or transfer of any 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 the
Applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to
excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any
direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the
extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by
the Applicable Issuing Lender’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 an Issuing Lender (as
finally determined by a court

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of competent jurisdiction), each Issuing Lender shall 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, each Issuing Lender 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.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Lender shall, promptly following
its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for
payment under a Letter of Credit. The Applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly
notify the Applicable Agent and the relevant Borrower by telephone (confirmed by
facsimile or electronic communication) in the case of the US Issuing Lender or
by facsimile or electronic communication in the case of the London Issuing
Lender or the Canadian Issuing Lender, in each case, of such demand for payment
and whether the Applicable Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC
Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving
such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the
Applicable Issuing Lender and the relevant Lenders with respect to any such LC
Disbursement.
(h)    Interim Interest. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full
on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear
interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made
to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement,
(i) in the case of a US LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable
to ABR Loans, (ii) in the case of an LC Disbursement in Euros, at the rate per
annum then applicable to Euro Swingline Loans, (iii) in the case of an LC
Disbursement in Canadian Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to
Canadian Prime Loans and (iv) in the case of an LC Disbursement in any other
Alternative Currency, at the rate reasonably determined by the London Issuing
Lender to be the cost to it of funding such LC Disbursement; provided that, if
the relevant Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant
to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(g) shall apply. Interest
accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Applicable
Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by
any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Applicable
Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such
payment.
(i)    Replacement of an Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at
any time by written agreement among the Parent, the Administrative Agent, the
replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender (unless such replaced
Issuing Lender is then a Defaulting Lender in which case the replaced Issuing
Lender’s consent is not necessary). The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the Parent shall pay all unpaid fees accrued
for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From
and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing
Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under
this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer
to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and
all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the
replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall
remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue
additional Letters of Credit.
(j)    Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that the Parent receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required US and Alternative Currency Lenders (or, if
the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure demanding the deposit of
cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph), (i) the US Borrowers shall deposit
in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative
Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to
the total US LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon minus the amount on deposit in such account that has not been applied
against the Obligations and (ii) the Alternative Currency Borrowers shall
deposit in an account with the London Agent (in the case of LC Disbursements in
any Alternative Currency other than Canadian Dollars) and the Canadian Agent (in
the case of LC Disbursements in Canadian Dollars), in the name of such Agent and
for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in the relevant currencies
equal to the total Alternative Currency LC Exposure as of such date plus any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon minus the amount on deposit in such account
that has not been applied against the Obligations; provided that the obligation
to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such
deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice
of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any
Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. Each such deposit shall
be held by the Applicable Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of
the Obligations. The Applicable Agent shall 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 investments shall be
made at the option and discretion of the Applicable Agent (but, if so made,
shall be limited to overnight bank loans or other investments denominated in the
applicable currency generally comparable to those described in clauses (a)
through (f) of Permitted Investments) and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense,
such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be
applied by the Applicable Agent to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Lender for
LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so
applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of
the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, subject to the consent of
Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure,
be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.
If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder,
such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured
or waived.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2.06    Funding of Borrowings.
(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the
same currency as such Loan, to the account of the Applicable Agent most recently
designated by it for such purpose by notice to each such Lender not later than
(i) 1:00 p.m., Local Time, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars,
(ii) 12:00 noon, Local Time, in the case of Loans denominated in any Alternative
Currency other than Canadian Dollars and (iii) 2:00 p.m., Local Time, in the
case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars; provided that all Swingline Loans
shall be made as provided in Section 2.04(a). The Applicable Agent will make
such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the
amounts so received, in like funds, to such account or accounts of the
applicable Borrower designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that (i) US ABR Borrowings or US Swingline Loans made to
finance the reimbursement of a US LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e)
shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the US Issuing Lender,
(ii) EURIBOR Borrowings or Euro Swingline Loans made to finance the
reimbursement of an LC Disbursement in Euros as provided in Section 2.05(e)
shall be remitted by the London Agent to the London Issuing Lender,
(iii) Canadian Prime Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement in Canadian Dollars as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be
remitted by the Canadian Agent to the Canadian Issuing Lender and
(iv) Eurocurrency Borrowings in any other Alternative Currency made to finance
the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement in such other Alternative Currency as
provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the London Agent to the London
Issuing Lender.
(b)    Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Applicable Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on
such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Agent, then such Lender and the
applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent at (i) in the case of a US
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, (ii) in the case of a US Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
ABR Loans, (iii) in the case of an Alternative Currency Lender, a rate
determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, (iv) in the case of an Alternative Currency Borrower in
respect of amounts in any Alternative Currency other than Canadian Dollars, the
interest rate applicable to EURIBOR Loans, in the case of amounts in Euros, or
the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Loans, in the case of amounts in
any such other Alternative Currency and (v) in the case of an Alternative
Currency Borrower in respect of amounts in Canadian Dollars, the interest rate
applicable to Canadian Prime Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Applicable Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included
in such Borrowing.

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2.07    Interest Elections.
(a)    Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, EURIBOR
Borrowing and a CDOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, (i) with respect to Borrowings
denominated in Dollars, the relevant Borrower may elect to convert such
Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of
a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, (ii) with respect
to a Borrowing denominated in any Alternative Currency other than Canadian

therefor, in each case, as provided in this Section. Each Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of its affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such
portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply
to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.
(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower
shall notify the Applicable Agent of such election in the manner and by the time
that a Borrowing Request would be required to be delivered under Section 2.03 if
such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such
election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and, if delivered by telephone, shall be
confirmed promptly by facsimile transmission or electronic communication to the
Applicable Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the applicable
Borrower.
(c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof,

the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall
be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest
Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Borrowing or a
CDOR Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, EURIBOR
Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto

the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, a
EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period,
then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period
of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Applicable Agent shall advise each affected Lender of the details thereof and of
such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR
Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then,
unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest
Period such Borrowing shall be continued (i) as a Eurocurrency Borrowing in the
same currency with an Interest Period of one month’s duration in the case of a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, (ii) as a EURIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of
one month’s duration in the case of a EURIBOR Borrowing and (iii) as a CDOR
Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration in the case of a CDOR
Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of
the Required Lenders, so notifies the Parent, then, so long as an Event of
Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing in Dollars may be converted
to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each
Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the
end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) no outstanding Borrowing in
Canadian Dollars may be converted or continued as a CDOR Borrowing and
(iv) unless repaid, each CDOR Borrowing shall be converted as a Canadian Prime
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(a)    Unless previously terminated, (i) the US Commitments and the Alternative
Currency Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date and (ii) the Term
Loan Commitments shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Initial Term Loan
Borrowing Date or, if such date does not occur, at 5:00 p.m. New York time on
the Initial Term Loan Termination Date.
(b)    The Parent may at any time reduce or terminate the Commitments of any
Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the US Commitments and the Term Loan
Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
not less than $5,000,000 and the Parent shall not terminate or reduce the US

terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this
Section at least three Business

43

such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any
notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Applicable Agent if the
Administrative Agent shall not be the Applicable Agent and the Lenders with the
Commitment to be reduced or terminated of the contents thereof. Each notice
delivered by the Parent pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. Any
termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent,
except in the case of the Term Loan Commitments, to the extent such Commitments
are increased pursuant to Section 2.19. Each reduction of the Commitments shall
be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
Commitments.

Commitment terminates and the date on which it ceases to have any Alternative
Currency LC Exposure in Canadian Dollars, (iii) to the London Issuing Lender for
its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per
annum on the average daily amount of the Alternative Currency LC Exposure
attributable to Letters of Credit issued in Alternative Currencies (other than
Canadian Dollars) (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed
Alternative Currency LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the
Alternative Currency Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any
Alternative Currency LC Exposure denominated in Alternative Currencies (other
than Canadian Dollars), but in no event less than $500 during such period as
well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by it or
processing of drawings thereunder and (iv) to the Canadian Issuing Lender for
its own account a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per
annum on the average daily amount of the Alternative Currency LC Exposure
attributable to Letters of Credit issued in Canadian Dollars (excluding any
portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Alternative Currency LC
Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date of termination of the Alternative Currency
Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any Alternative Currency LC
Exposure denominated in Canadian Dollars, but in no event less than $500 during
such period as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by it
or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees
accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such
last day of such months, commencing on the first such date to occur after the
Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on
which the Alternative Currency Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing
after the date on which the Alternative Currency Euro Commitments terminate
shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Lenders
pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All
participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days and shall

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day).
(e)    The Parent shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Term Loan Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Commitment Fee
Rate, on the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, during the period
from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Initial Term Loan
Borrowing Date or, if such date does not occur, the Initial Term Loan
Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the
last day of March, June, September and December, 2015, commencing on March 31,
2015, and on the Initial Term Loan Borrowing Date or, if such date does not
occur, on the Initial Term Loan Termination Date (or if the Parent elects to
terminate the Term Loan Commitments, on the effective date of such termination).
All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day).
(f)    The Parent shall pay to the each Agent, as applicable, for its own
account, fees payable by it in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee
Letter, or otherwise separately agreed upon, between the Parent and the Agents.
(g)    All fees payable hereunder to the Agents or the Issuing Lenders shall be
paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, in Dollars, in each case,
to the Administrative Agent (or to the Applicable Issuing Lender, in the case of
fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and
participation fees, to the applicable Lenders. Fees payable under this Section
2.11 shall not be past due if paid within five (5) Business Days after receipt
of a statement by the Parent from the Applicable Agent or the Applicable Issuing
Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on the behalf of any
other Agent or any Issuing Lender, setting forth the amount of such fees. Fees
paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error.
Section 2.12    Interest.
(a)    The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each US Swingline
Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)    The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing (excluding any Euro
Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest
Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.
(c)    The Loans comprising each EURIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the
EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the
Applicable Margin.
(d)    The Loans comprising each Canadian Prime Borrowing shall bear interest at
the Canadian Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(e)    The Loans comprising each CDOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the
Canadian Dealer Offered Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such
Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

49

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f)    Each Euro Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Euro Swingline Rate.
(g)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any
Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid
when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(h)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Loans of any Class
(other than Swingline Loans), upon termination of the Commitments of such Class;
provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section
shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of
any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan or Canadian Prime Loan prior to
the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount
repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment
and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan in Dollars or
CDOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued
interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(i)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days, except that (i) interest on Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars and
in Pounds Sterling) and (ii) interest computed by reference to the Alternate
Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall
be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, except in the case of
Borrowings denominated in Pounds Sterling, 366 days in a leap year), and in each
case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted
LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate, Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian Offered Rate
shall be determined by the Applicable Agent and such determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 2.13    Market Disruption; Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a)    Market Disruption. If, at the time that the Applicable Agent shall seek
to determine the relevant Screen Rate on the Quotation Day for any Interest
Period, the applicable Screen Rate shall not be available for such Interest
Period and/or for the applicable currency for any reason and the Applicable
Agent shall determine that it is not possible to determine the Interpolated Rate
(which conclusion shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error), then
the LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Canadian Dealer Offered Rate, as the case may be,
for such Interest Period for the relevant Borrowing shall be the applicable
Reference Bank Rate; provided, that if any Reference Bank Rate shall be less
than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement;
provided, further, however, that if less than two Reference Banks shall supply a
rate to the Applicable Agent for purposes of determining such rate for such
Borrowing, (i) if such Borrowing shall be requested in Dollars, then such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, (ii) if such Borrowing shall be
requested in Canadian Dollars, then such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian
Prime Borrowing and (iii) if such Borrowing shall be requested in any other
currency, the request for such Borrowing shall be ineffective.
(b)    Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest
Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing:

50

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i)    the Applicable Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBO Rate, the EURIBO Rate or the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate,
as applicable, for such Interest Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
pursuant to Section 2.13(a)); or
(ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the
LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Canadian Dealer Offered 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 Applicable Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent and the
applicable Lenders by telephone, facsimile or electronic communication as
promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Applicable Agent notifies the
Parent and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no
longer exist, (A) no outstanding Borrowing of Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall
be converted or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing, as
applicable, and any Interest Election Request requesting such conversion or
continuation shall be ineffective, (B) no outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing in
any Alternative Currency or EURIBOR Borrowing shall be continued and any
Interest Election Request requesting such continuation shall be ineffective,
(C) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars, such
Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, (D) if any Borrowing Request
requests a CDOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Canadian Prime
Borrowing and (E) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing in
any Alternative Currency or a EURIBOR Borrowing, such request shall be
ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice
affect less than all Types of Borrowings, then the other Types of Borrowings
shall be permitted.
Section 2.14    Increased Costs.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(iii)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charges 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 LIBO Rate) or any Issuing
Lender;
(iv)    impose on any such Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank
market or the European Union banking market any other condition, cost or expense
(other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any
Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
(v)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,
(B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded
Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other
liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to
make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit

51

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of
Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise), then the Parent will pay to any such Lender, Issuing
Lender or other Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender or Issuing Lender 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 Lender’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters
of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such
Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such
Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company
with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the
Parent will pay to any such Lender or Issuing Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or
Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or
Issuing Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section (subject to paragraph (e) of this Section) shall be
delivered to the Parent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Parent shall pay any such Lender or Issuing Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that
the Parent shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender notifies the
Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof;
provided, further, that no Lender shall seek compensation from the Parent unless
such Lender is actively seeking compensation from other similarly situated
borrowers as well.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this Section, neither paragraph (a) nor (b) of this Section shall apply to the
extent the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing
Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section, is (i) attributable to the gross negligence of a Lender or
its Affiliate that results in its failing to comply with any Law or
(ii) attributable to any

52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

deduction or withholding for or on account of Tax from a payment under any Loan
Document required by law to be made by any Obligor.
Section 2.15    Break Funding Payments. In the event of the payment of any
principal of any Eurocurrency Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an
Event of Default), the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan denominated in
Dollars or any CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto or the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any
Eurocurrency Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan on the date specified in any notice
delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrowers
shall compensate each affected Lender for the loss, cost and expense (other than
any lost profit or margin) attributable to such event. In the case of a
Eurocurrency Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any
Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender
to be the excess, if any, of (i) its costs of obtaining funds for the Loan being
paid, prepaid or converted or not borrowed based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the
EURIBO Rate or the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate that would have been applicable
to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would realize by
such Lender in reemploying during such period the funds so paid, prepaid,
converted or not borrowed. 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 shall be delivered to the Parent and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Parent shall pay any such Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after
receipt thereof. The Parent shall not be obligated to compensate a Lender
pursuant to this Section for any amount relating to any such event occurring
more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender notifies the Parent of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.
Section 2.16    Taxes.
(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor
under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as
determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent)
requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a
Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to
make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the
applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after making such
deduction or withholding (including deductions and withholdings applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Withholding Agent (as
applicable) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions or withholdings been made.
(b)    In addition, the Obligors shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)    (d)    The Obligors shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Agents,
each Lender and each Issuing Lender, within 10 days after written demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Agents, such
Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any
payment by or on account of any obligation of the Obligors under the Loan
Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) and any penalties,
interest and 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 that no Alternative
Currency Borrower shall have any liability under this Section 2.16(c) with
respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any Loan made to or
other Obligation of any US Borrower, including, without limitation, the
Obligations of the Parent incurred in its capacity as an Alternative Currency
Borrower. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to the Parent by such Lender or such Issuing Lender, or by an Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(i)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agents, within 10 days after
demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but
only to the extent that any Obligor has not already indemnified such Agent for
such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do
so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
provisions of Section 10.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case,
that are payable or paid by any Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and
any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to any Lender by the applicable Agent shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes each Agent to set off and
apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan
Document or otherwise payable by such Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (ii).
(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to
the relevant Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
relevant Agent.
(e)    (e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Parent and the Administrative Agent, at the time such Person
becomes a party to this Agreement and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Parent or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Parent
or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without
withholdings or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
reasonably requested by the Parent or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver
such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by
the Parent or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

54

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the
completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 2.16(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below)
shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender.
(i)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)    any Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to the Parent and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Parent or the Administrative Agent), executed
originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
Federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Parent and the Administrative 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 Parent or the Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E
establishing an exemption from, or reduction or, U.S. federal withholding Tax
pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to
any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS
Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of
such tax treaty;
(ii)    executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that it is entitled to
receive all payments under the Loan Documents without deduction or withholding
in respect of U.S. federal withholding Tax;
(iii)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to
the effect that (A) such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) the interest
payments in question are not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business
conducted by such Foreign Lender (a “U.S.

55

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(iv)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example,
where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a
typical participation), executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a
Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that
if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one
or more beneficial owners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio
interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate on behalf of each such beneficial owner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Parent and the Administrative 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 party to this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent or the Administrative
Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Parent or the Administrative Agent to
determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender 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 Lender
shall deliver to the Parent and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent
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 Parent or the
Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Parent and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of
this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
Effective Date not otherwise included in the definition thereof.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or

56

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

certification or promptly notify the Parent and the Administrative Agent in
writing of its legal inability to do so.
For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and
after the Effective Date, the Parent and the Administrative Agent shall treat
(and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) this
Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
(f)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes or other amounts as to which it has been indemnified
pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under
this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or Lender and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such indemnifying party,
upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay the amount paid over
pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) after receipt of written notice
that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any
amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of
which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to
indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld
or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with
respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section shall not be construed to
require any Agent or Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower
or any other Person.
(g)    For purposes of this Section 2.16, references to a Lender shall include
each Agent and each Issuing Lender and the term “applicable Law” shall include
FATCA.
Section 2.17    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs;
Sharing of Collateral Proceeds and Payments After Default.
(a)    Each US Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of US LC
Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section
2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, in Dollars, without set-off or counterclaim. Each
Alternative Currency Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of Alternative
Currency LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, Section
2.15 or Section 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date
when due, in immediately available funds, in the relevant Alternative Currency
(except with respect to fees payable pursuant to Section 2.12 which shall be
paid in Dollars), without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after
such times on any date may, in the discretion of the Applicable Agent be deemed
to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such

57

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

payments shall be made to the Applicable Agent at such account as the Applicable
Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the applicable
Borrowers, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender or a
Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant
to Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 10.03 shall be made
directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Each Agent shall distribute any such
payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing
interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
The London Agent and the Canadian Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent of
payments received by them from time to time.
(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Applicable Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably
among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest
and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal
or unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(d), if any Lender shall, by
exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in
LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment
of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to
the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
(i) the US Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal
of and accrued interest on their respective US Loans and participations in US LC
Disbursements and US Swingline Loans, (ii) the Alternative Currency Lenders
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Alternative Currency Loans and participations in
Alternative Currency LC Disbursements and Euro Swingline Loans and (iii) the
Term Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal
of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans; provided that (x) if any
such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving
rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
(y) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any
payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms
of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Parent,
any Subsidiary of the Parent or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the
provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the
foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable
Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights

58

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
(d)    Following acceleration of the Loans pursuant to this Agreement, if at any
time any payment on any of the Loans or any receipt of proceeds from any
Collateral results in the US Lenders, the Alternative Currency Lenders or the
Term Lenders receiving payments or proceeds in excess of their Class Percentage
(defined below) of all such payments or proceeds received, such Lenders will
deliver any excess to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent
shall redistribute such excess to the extent required such that the US Lenders,
the Alternative Currency Lenders and the Term Lenders shall receive their Class
Percentage of such payment or proceeds. All payments to the Administrative Agent
shall be made in Dollars. As used herein, the term “Class Percentage” for each
Class of the Lenders shall mean the percentage, expressed as a decimal and
determined by dividing the total Obligations outstanding for each Class of the
Lenders by the aggregate total Obligations outstanding after giving effect to
such payment or receipt of proceeds, all as calculated by the Administrative
Agent whose calculation shall be conclusive absent manifest error. For purposes
of calculating the Class Percentage, all payments, proceeds and Loan amounts in
Alternative Currencies shall be valued at the Dollar Equivalent thereof. For
purposes of determining the amount of any payment to be made to the
Administrative Agent in Dollars under this paragraph from any Alternative
Currency Lender, the amount in Dollars payable shall be equal to the Dollar
Equivalent thereof.
(e)    Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from relevant
Borrower or Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Applicable Agent for the account of the applicable Class of Lenders or
applicable Issuing Lenders hereunder that such Borrower or Borrowers will not
make such payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Borrower has, or
such Borrowers have, made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Lenders or
Issuing Lender, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower
has, or such Borrowers have, not in fact made such payment, then each of the
Lenders and the Issuing lender that has received such amounts, as applicable,
severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount
so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent at the (i) the Federal
Funds Effective Rate with respect to amounts paid on Loans denominated in
Dollars, (ii) the EURIBO Rate with respect to amounts paid on Loans denominated
in Euros and (iii) the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate with respect to amounts paid
on the Canadian Loans, or in the case of each of the foregoing clauses, if
greater, a rate determined by the Applicable Agents in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation and (iv) a rate determined by the
Applicable Agents in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation with respect to amounts paid on Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency other than Euros or Canadian Dollars.
(f)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Section 2.05(d) or (e), Section 2.06(b), Section
2.17(e) or Section 10.03(c), then the Applicable Agent may, in its discretion
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply

59

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any amounts thereafter received by it for the account of such Lender to satisfy
such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.18    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16,
then such Lender shall cooperate in completing any procedural formalities
required for each of the Borrowers to be able to make payments under the Loan
Documents without any deduction or withholding in respect of Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes and shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in
the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.16, as
applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. The Parent shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender or Issuing Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any
Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16,
(ii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or (iii) any Lender refuses to consent
to an amendment, modification, waiver or consent of this Agreement that requires
consent of 100% of the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.02(b) and the consent of
the Required Lenders shall have been obtained, then the Parent may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with
and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that (i) the Parent shall have received the prior written
consent of each Agent which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii)
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline
Loans, as applicable, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder, as applicable, from the assignee (to the extent
of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Parent (in
the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required
to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will or is expected to
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be
required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a
result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Parent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 2.19    Increase in the Commitments; Incremental Term Loans.
(a)    Increase in the Commitments. The Parent may from time to time elect to
increase the Commitments of any one or more Classes (each, an “Incremental
Commitment Increase”), in each case with a minimum aggregate principal amount of
(i) $20,000,000 (and increments of

60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$5,000,000 in excess thereof) with respect to an increase in the US Commitments,
(ii) $2,000,000 (and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) with respect to
an increase in the Alternative Currency Commitments and (iii) $10,000,000 (and
increments of $5,000,000 in excess thereof) with respect to an increase in the
Term Commitments, so long as, after giving effect thereto, (x) the minimum
aggregate principal amount of any one Incremental Commitment Increase across all
increased Classes is $20,000,000 (and increments of $5,000,000 in excess
thereof) and (y) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Commitment Increases
during the term hereof does not exceed $100,000,000. The Parent may arrange for
any such Incremental Commitment Increase to be provided by one or more Lenders
(each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing
Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities
(each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, a “New Lender”)
which agree to increase their existing Commitments, or provide new Commitments,
as the case may be; provided that (i) the Agents, Issuing Lenders and Swingline
Lenders shall have consent rights (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
with respect to a New Lender if a consent would be required for an assignment to
such New Lender pursuant to Section 10.04(b), (ii) in the case of an Increasing
Lender, the Parent and such Increasing Lender execute an Increasing Lender
Agreement, and (iii) in the case of a New Lender, the Parent and such New Lender
execute a New Lender Agreement. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders
participating in the Incremental Commitment Increase) shall be required for any
increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19. Each Incremental
Commitment Increase shall become effective on the date agreed by the Parent, the
Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders and/or New Lenders, and
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Upon the
effectiveness of any Incremental Commitment Increase, Schedule 2.01 shall be
deemed to have been amended to add thereto any New Lenders with respect thereto
and reflect the increased or new Commitments of each Lender. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Incremental Commitment Increase shall become effective unless,
(i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such Incremental Commitment
Increase, (A) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (d) of
Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such paragraphs to a
Borrowing being deemed to be a reference to such increase and the Administrative
Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and
executed by a Financial Officer and (B) with respect to an Incremental
Commitment Increase in respect of the Term Loan Commitments, the Parent shall be
in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in
Section 6.14 and 6.15 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received
documents and opinions consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as
to the corporate power and authority of the relevant Borrowers to borrow
hereunder after giving effect to such increase. Following any Incremental
Commitment Increase in respect of the US Commitments or the Alternative Currency
Commitments pursuant to this Section, any Loans outstanding prior to the
effectiveness of such Incremental Commitment Increase shall continue to be
outstanding until the ends of the respective Interest Periods applicable
thereto, and shall then be repaid and, if the relevant Borrowers shall so elect,
refinanced with new Loans made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or (b), as
applicable, ratably in accordance with such Commitments in effect following such
Incremental Commitment Increase.
(b)    Incremental Term Loans. On the effective date of any Incremental
Commitment Increase in respect of the Term Loan Commitments that occurs after
the Initial Term Loan Borrowing Date or the Initial Term Loan Termination Date,
as the case may be, each Lender with

61

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

an increased Term Loan Commitment shall make a Loan (each such loan, an
“Incremental Term Loan”) to the Parent in a principal amount equal to the amount
of such Lender’s new or increased Term Loan Commitment as set forth in such
Lender’s Increasing Lender Agreement or New Lender Agreement, as applicable.
Incremental Term Loans shall be “Term Loans” for all purposes hereunder.
Section 2.20    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the
following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting
Lender:
(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and/or (c), as applicable;
(b)    the right of such Defaulting Lender to approve or disapprove any
amendment, waiver or consent with respect this Agreement shall be limited as set
forth in Section 10.02(b);
(c)    if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)    (f) all or any part of the US Swingline Exposure and US LC Exposure of
such Defaulting Lender, if any, shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting US
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to
the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting US Lenders’ US Credit Exposures plus
such Defaulting Lender’s US Swingline Exposure and US LC Exposure does not
exceed the total of all non-Defaulting US Lenders’ US Commitments; and (i) all
or any part of the Euro Swingline Exposure and Alternative Currency LC Exposure
of such Defaulting Lender, if any, shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting
Alternative Currency Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Alternative
Currency Lenders’ Alternative Currency Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting
Lender’s Euro Swingline Exposure and Alternative Currency LC Exposure does not
exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Alternative Currency Lenders’ Alternative
Currency Commitments; provided that each such reallocation shall be given effect
only if, at the date the applicable Lender became a Defaulting Lender, no
Default or Event of Default exists;
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Parent shall within one Business Day following
notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and
(y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of each Issuing Lender only the
Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
(after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above)
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as
such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii)    if the Parent cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be
required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b)
and/or (d), as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iv)    if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant
to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section
2.11(a) through (d), as applicable, shall be adjusted in accordance with such
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages;
(v)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither
reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then,
without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any other
Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to
such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit
fees payable under Section 2.11(b) and/or (d), as applicable, with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the relevant Issuing
Lenders until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash
collateralized; and
(d)    so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (A) the US Swingline
Lender shall not be required to fund any US Swingline Loan and the US Issuing
Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any US Letter of
Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting
Lender’s then outstanding US LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the US
Commitments of the non-Defaulting US Lenders and/or cash collateral will be
provided by the Parent in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating
interests in any newly made US Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased
US Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting US Lenders in a
manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not
participate therein); (B) the Euro Swingline Lender shall not be required to
fund any Euro Swingline Loan and neither the London Issuing Lender nor Canadian
Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and
the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Alternative Currency LC Exposure will
be 100% covered by the Alternative Currency Commitments of the non-Defaulting
Alternative Currency Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the
Parent in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any
newly made Euro Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Alternative
Currency Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such
Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and
(e)    any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by any
Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory,
at maturity, pursuant to ARTICLE VII or otherwise) or received by any Agent from
a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by such Agent as follows: first, to the payment of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agents hereunder; second, to
the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders hereunder; third, to be held as cash
collateral for such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure other than any portion of
such LC Exposure that has been reallocated to other Lenders or cash
collateralized in accordance with the terms hereof; fourth, as the Parent may
request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of
any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Applicable
Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Parent, to be
held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations
with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (ii) cash collateralize the
future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any
Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing
to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing
Lender or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Parent as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Parent against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of
competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Loans
were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment
shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all
non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment
of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such
time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Disbursements and
Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.20(c)(i). Any payments,
prepayments 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 2.20(e) shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents
hereto.
If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following
the Effective Date and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any
Swingline Lender or Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has
defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in
which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Swingline Lender shall not be
required to fund any Swingline Loan and such Issuing Lender shall not be
required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Swingline
Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into
arrangements with the Parent or such Lender, satisfactory to such Swingline
Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in
respect of such Lender hereunder.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Parent, the Swingline Lenders
and the Issuing Lenders each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the
Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect
the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall
purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline
Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for
such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
Section 2.21    Illegality. If, in any applicable jurisdiction, any Agent,
Issuing Lender or Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that
any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Agent,
Issuing Lender or Lender to (a) perform any of its

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (b) to fund or maintain
its participation in any Loan or (c) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge
interest with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit to any Borrower that is
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, a State
thereof or the District of Columbia, such Person shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Parent,
and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person
to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loan
or Letter of Credit shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable
Law, cancelled. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent shall cause the
applicable Borrower to, (i) repay that Person’s participation in the Loans or
other applicable Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each
Loan or other Obligation occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified
the Parent or, if earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice
delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any
applicable grace period permitted by applicable Law) and (ii) take all
reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such
illegality.
Section 2.22    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 each
Obligor in respect of any such sum due from it to any Agent or Lender 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 such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Agent or Lender, as the
case may be, 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 such Agent or
Lender from any Obligor in the Agreement Currency, such Obligor agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such
Agent or Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the
Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to such
Agent or Lender in such currency, such Agent or Lender, as the case may be,
agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Obligor (or to any other
Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).
ARTICLE III    
Representations and Warranties
The Borrowers for themselves and their respective Subsidiaries represent and
warrant to the Agents and the Lenders that:
Section 3.01    Organization. Each Obligor and its respective Subsidiaries (with
respect to any such Person that is not a US Person, only to the extent
applicable) (a) is duly organized, validly existing and, with respect to each
Obligor other than any Foreign Subsidiary, in good standing under

65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the requisite power
and authority to conduct its business as it is presently being conducted, and
(c) is duly qualified or licensed to conduct business and is in good standing in
each jurisdiction where such qualification or good standing is required, except
where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.02    Authority Relative to this Agreement. Each Obligor has the power
and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
to which it is a party and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
The Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other
entity action, as applicable, on the part of each Obligor that is a party hereto
or thereto. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly and
validly executed and delivered by each Obligor party hereto or thereto and
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Obligor, enforceable
against such Obligor in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the
effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other Laws affecting creditors' rights and remedies generally and to the effect
of general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered
in a proceeding at Law or in equity).
Section 3.03    No Violation. The Transactions will not:
(d)    result in a breach of the articles or certificate of incorporation,
bylaws, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or other
organization documents, as applicable, of any Obligor or any of its respective
Subsidiaries;
(e)    result in the imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Obligor or any
of its respective Subsidiaries (including the Equity Interests of any of the
Subsidiaries of the Borrowers), other than the Liens created under the Loan
Documents;
(f)    result in, or constitute an event that, with the passage of time or
giving of notice or both, would be, a breach, violation or default (or give rise
to any right of termination, cancellation, prepayment or acceleration) under (i)
any agreement to which any Obligor or any of its respective Subsidiaries is a
party, under which any Obligor or any of its respective Subsidiaries has or may
acquire rights or obligations or by which its respective properties or assets
may be bound or (ii) any Governmental Approval held by, or required for the
conduct of the business of, any Obligor or any of its respective Subsidiaries,
in each case of (i) and (ii) above, where such breach, violation or default
would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(g)    require any Obligor or any of its respective Subsidiaries to obtain any
consent, waiver, approval, exemption, authorization or other action of, or make
any filing with or give any notice to, any Person except (i) such as have been
obtained or made and are in full force and effect or waived, (ii) filings
necessary to perfect or assign Liens created under the Loan Documents or (iii)
filing of this Agreement and one or more other Loan Documents with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on the appropriate form; or

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(h)    violate any Law or Order applicable to any Obligor or any of its
respective Subsidiaries or by which any of their respective properties or assets
may be bound, where such violation would reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.04    Financial Statements. The Parent has previously furnished to the
Administrative Agent the following financial statements (collectively, the
“Financial Statements”): (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the
Parent as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended,
the notes accompanying such Financial Statements, and the report of Ernst &
Young LLP, independent certified public accountants, and (ii) the unaudited
consolidated balance sheet of the Parent as of September 30, 2014, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the
period then ended. The Financial Statements fairly present in all material
respects the consolidated financial position of the Parent as of their
respective dates and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of
the Parent for the periods ended on such dates in accordance with GAAP, subject,
in the case of interim financial statements, to absence of footnotes and
year-end audit adjustments (the effect of which will not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Since December 31, 2013, there has
been no material adverse change in the Parent’s consolidated financial position
that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.05    No Undisclosed Liabilities. None of the Obligors or any of their
respective Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature
(whether known or unknown, and whether absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise) except for (a) liabilities or obligations reflected or reserved
against in the financial statements most recently delivered by the Parent
pursuant to Section 4.01(g) or Section 5.01, as applicable, (b) current
liabilities or obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business since the
date of such financial statements, (c) liabilities or obligations that are not
required to be included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
GAAP, (d) liabilities or obligations arising under Governmental Approvals or

The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for

facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agents.
In addition, each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby indemnifies the Agents
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to its
respective pro rata share of the total of the Commitments, or if no Commitments
are outstanding, the respective pro rata share of the total of the Commitments

of them, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted

this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agents under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents (including any action taken or omitted under ARTICLE

be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses

95

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to reimburse each of the Agents promptly
upon demand for its respective pro rata share of the total of the Commitments of
any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the
Agents (or any of them) in connection with the preparation, execution,
administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the extent

provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Obligations.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in

Issuing Lenders and the Parent. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, with the approval of the Parent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall not be required during
the existence of an Event of Default, to appoint a successor. If no successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its

the Agents or any other Lender 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 Agents or any other Lender 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder.

(dd)    any other act or omission or delay of any kind by any of the Borrowers,
any other Guarantor, the Agents, any Lender or any other Person or any other
circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph,
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder.
Furthermore, notwithstanding that the Borrowers may not be obligated to the
Agents and/or the Lenders for interest and/or attorneys’ fees and expenses on,
or in connection with, any Obligations from and after the Petition Date (as
hereinafter defined) as a result of the provisions of the federal bankruptcy law
or otherwise, Obligations for which the Guarantors shall be obligated shall
include interest accruing on the Obligations at the Default Rate from and after
the date on which such Borrower files for protection under the federal
bankruptcy laws or from and after the date on which an involuntary proceeding is
filed against such Borrower under the federal bankruptcy laws (herein
collectively referred to as the “Petition Date”) and all reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses incurred by the Agents and the Lenders from and after the
Petition Date in connection with the Obligations.
Section 9.03    Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement In Certain
Circumstances. The obligations of each of the Guarantors under this ARTICLE IX
shall remain in full force and effect until the Commitments shall have
terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts
payable by the Obligors under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full.
If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any
other amount payable by the Obligors under the Loan Documents is rescinded or
must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Obligor or otherwise, the obligations of each of the
Guarantors under this ARTICLE IX with respect to such payment shall be
reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such
time. The US Guarantors under Section 9.01(a)(i) jointly and severally agree to
indemnify each Alternative Currency Lender, the US Guarantors under Section
9.01(a)(ii) jointly and severally agree to indemnify each US Lender and each
Alternative Currency and the Foreign Guarantors jointly and severally agree to
indemnify each Alternative Currency Lender on demand for all reasonable costs
and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Lender in
connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and
expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment
constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or expenses
resulting from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Lender.
Section 9.04    Waiver by Each Guarantor. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives
acceptance hereof, diligence, presentment, demand, protest notice of
acceleration or the intent to accelerate and any other notice not provided for
in this ARTICLE IX, as well as any requirement that at any

99

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrowers or any other
Guarantor or any other Person.
Section 9.05    Subrogation. Each US Guarantor under Section 9.01(a)(ii) shall
be subrogated to all rights of the US Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the
holders of the US Loans against the US Borrowers; provided that such Guarantor
shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of or
based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of and interest on the
Loans and all other sums at any time payable by the Borrowers under the Loan
Documents shall have been paid in full. Each US Guarantor under Section
9.01(a)(i) and each Foreign Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the
Alternative Currency Lenders, the London Agent, the Canadian Agent and the
holders of the Alternative Currency Loans against the Alternative Currency
Borrowers; provided that such Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to
receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation
until the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other sums at any time
payable by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full.
If any amount is paid to any Guarantor on account of subrogation rights under
these Guarantees at any time when all the Obligations have not been indefeasibly
paid in full, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the US
Lenders or the Alternative Currency Lenders, as applicable, and shall be
promptly paid to the Agents to be credited and applied to the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured or absolute or contingent, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.
Section 9.06    Stay of Acceleration.
(i)    If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any
Obligor under the Loan Documents is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any US Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to
acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by
each US Guarantor under Section 9.01(a)(ii) for its respective Obligations as
described in this ARTICLE IX promptly following demand by the Administrative
Agent made at the request of the requisite proportion of the Lenders specified
in ARTICLE X of this Agreement.
(j)    If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any
Obligor under the Loan Documents is stayed upon insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Alternative Currency Borrower, all such amounts otherwise
subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be
payable by each US Guarantor under Section 9.01(a)(i) and each Foreign Guarantor
hereunder for its respective Obligations as described in this ARTICLE IX
promptly following demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the
requisite proportion of the Lenders specified in ARTICLE X of this Agreement.
Section 9.07    Limit of Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
ARTICLE IX, the obligations of each of the Guarantors under this ARTICLE IX
shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would
not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable
state law.

100

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 9.08    Release upon Sale. Upon any sale of any Guarantor permitted by
this Agreement, and, if required hereunder, payment to the Agents, as
applicable, for the pro rata benefit of the applicable Lenders, of the proceeds
of such sale, such Guarantor shall (a) be released from its obligations as a
Guarantor hereunder, (b) all Liens, if any, securing such Guarantee shall
automatically be terminated and released and (c) the Administrative Agent will,
at the expense of said Guarantor, execute and deliver such documents as are
reasonably necessary to evidence said releases and terminations, following
written request from the applicable Borrower and receipt by the Administrative
Agent of a certificate from the applicable Borrower certifying no Default or
Event of Default exists.
Section 9.09    Benefit to Guarantor. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Loans
made to the Borrowers may be, in part, re-loaned to, or used for the benefit of,
such Guarantor and its Affiliates, that each Guarantor, because of the
utilization of the proceeds of the Loans, will receive a direct benefit from the
Loans and that, without the Loans, such Guarantor would not be able to continue
its operations and carry on its business as presently conducted.
Section 9.10    Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and
severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide
such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other
Obligor to honor all of its obligations hereunder in respect of Swap Obligations
(provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under
this Section 9.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby
incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.10, or otherwise
hereunder, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each
Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect
until discharge of the Guarantee as described in Section 9.03 or release of such
Guarantor as described in Section 9.08. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends
that this Section 9.10 constitute, and this Section 9.10 shall be deemed to
constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each
other Obligor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity
Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary or Domestic
Subsidiary the assets of which are all or substantially all comprised of stock
or securities in one or more Foreign Subsidiaries shall be required to provide
such funds or other support under this Section 9.10 with respect to obligations
of the US Borrowers or any Domestic Subsidiary to the extent materially adverse
tax consequences would result.
Section 9.11    Jurisdiction Specific Provisions. The provisions of this ARTICLE
IX are subject to the limitations contained in the jurisdiction specific
provisions contained in Schedule 9.11 attached hereto.

(xi)    if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set
forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.
(ff)    Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be
delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent. Each of the Agents or the Borrowers may,
in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it
hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices
or communications.
(gg)    Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All
notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date
of receipt.
Section 10.02    Waivers; Amendments.
(e)    No failure or delay by any Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender in exercising
any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder 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 consent to any
departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of
a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of
any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender may have
had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(f)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (including any agreement
to amend or modify the definition of Leverage Ratio that would have the effect
of reducing such rate of interest), or reduce any fees payable hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,
(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan
or LC

105

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce
the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date
of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or Section 2.17(c) in a
manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of
this Section 10.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other
provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to
waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant
any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release
all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security
Documents, without the written consent of each Lender, provided, that nothing
herein shall prohibit the Administrative Agent from releasing any Collateral, or
require the consent of the other Lenders for such release, in respect of items
sold, leased, conveyed or otherwise disposed to the extent such sale, lease,
conveyance or other disposition is permitted hereunder, (vii) release all or
substantially all of the Guarantees (other than in connection with any
transaction permitted hereunder), without the written consent of each Lender,
(viii) result in any Foreign Subsidiary becoming a Borrower hereunder, without
the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby or (ix) change any
of the provisions of Section 2.20 or the definition of “Defaulting Lender”
without the consent of the Required Lenders, each Agent, each Swingline Lender
and each Issuing Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, Issuing Lender or
Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent,
Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver
or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other
than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting
Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and
(y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent (1) of all
Lenders or (2) of each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting
Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of
such Defaulting Lender.
Section 10.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(n)    The Parent shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Agents and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel and consultants for the Agents, in connection with the
syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, due diligence
undertaken by the Agents with respect to the financing contemplated by this
Agreement, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lenders in connection
with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by any Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of one primary law firm as counsel, local counsel as
needed and consultants for any Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender, in connection
with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this
Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with

106

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(o)    The Parent shall indemnify each Agent, Issuing Lender and Lender, and
each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or
the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated
hereby, (ii) any Loan made or Letter of Credit issued by any Lender or Issuing
Lender, as applicable, or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any
refusal by any Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of
Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or
operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental
Liability related in any way to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or
(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding is brought by the Parent or any other Loan Party or
their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person
and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; and whether or not caused by the
ordinary, sole or contributory negligence of any Indemnitee, provided further
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee or (B) result from claims solely between or among Indemnitees
not involving an act or omission by the Parent or any of its Affiliates (other
than a claim against an Agent, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, in each case,
in its capacity as such). It is agreed by the parties hereto that the indemnity
obligations of the Parent under that certain commitment letter, dated as of
January 19, 2015, among the Parent, the Administrative Agent and the other
parties thereto are superseded to the extent described in this Agreement.
(p)    To the extent that the Parent fails to pay any amount required to be paid
by it under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (i) in the case of amounts
owed to the Administrative Agent, the US Issuing Lender or the US Swingline
Lender, each US Lender and each Term Loan Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, the US Issuing Lender or the US Swingline Lender, as the
case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share of such unpaid amount, and (ii) in the
case of the case of amounts owed to the London Agent, the Canadian Agent, the
London Issuing Lender, the Canadian Issuing Lender or the Euro Swingline Lender,
each Alternative Currency Lender severally agrees to pay to such Person such
Lender’s pro rata share of such unpaid amount, in each case, as such unpaid
amount is determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or
indemnity payment is sought; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable,
was incurred by or asserted against

107

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

such Agent, Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender in its capacity as such;
provided, further, that no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts under
clause (a) or (b) that are directly attributable to any Swap Agreement described
in the definition of Loan Documents to which such Lender or its Affiliate is not
the counterparty.
(q)    To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Obligor shall not assert,
and hereby waives, any claim against 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 or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions,
any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(r)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable no later than ten
(10) Business Days from demand therefor.
Section 10.04    Successors and Assigns.
(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any
Letter of Credit), except that (l) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void), except pursuant to a merger in accordance
with Section 6.03; and (m) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights
or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Lender that issues any
Letter of Credit), Indemnitees, Participants (to the extent provided in
paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.
(b)    (n) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) of this
Section, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(A)    the Parent, provided that no such consent shall be required for an
assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or if any Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing; provided further that the Parent shall be deemed
to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by
written notice to the Administrative Agent within seven Business Days after
having received written notice thereof;
(B)    the Administrative Agent, provided that no such consent shall be required
for an assignment of any Commitment or Loan to an assignee that is a Lender with
a Commitment or Loan of the same Class immediately prior to giving effect to
such assignment; and
(C)    each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender.

108

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or the equivalent amount
as determined by the Administrative Agent and after giving effect to such
assignment, the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans shall not be less than
$5,000,000 or the equivalent amount as determined by the Administrative Agent
unless each of the Parent and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (and
for purposes of calculating the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans subject
to any such assignment and such Lender’s Commitment or Loans remaining after
giving effect to such assignment, such amounts shall be deemed to include the
Commitments and Loans assigned by such Lender’s Affiliate that is an Alternative
Currency Lender and such Affiliate’s Commitments and Loans remaining after
giving effect to such assignment, in each case, by reason of the provisions of
clause (B) below); provided that no such consent of the Parent shall be required
if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has
occurred and is continuing; provided further that the Parent shall be deemed to
have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written
notice to the Administrative Agent within seven Business Days after having
received written notice thereof;
(B)    each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and be
pro rata among the Classes of Commitments and Loans of each Lender (for purposes
of this clause (B), any Affiliate of a US Lender that is itself an Alternative
Currency Lender shall be treated as if it were such Lender with the effect that
any assignment under the US Commitments by a Lender results in a proportionate
assignment by such Lender’s Affiliate under the Alternative Currency
Commitments);
(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable by or due or owing
from any Obligor);
(D)    the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee
designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the
Guarantors and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be
made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the
assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and
state securities laws;
(E)    no assignment shall be made that results in increased liability of any
Obligor under Section 2.14 or Section 2.16; and
(F)    no assignment shall be made to (1) any Borrower or any Affiliate thereof,
(2) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon
becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause (2), or (3) to a natural person.

109

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph
(b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, 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 Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section
2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 10.03). 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 (c) of this Section.
(iv)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of
each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of,
and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and each Borrower, Agent, Issuing Lender and
Lender may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by each Borrower, Agent, Issuing Lender and Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed
by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and
any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information contained therein in the Register and, with respect
to the assignment of any Euro Commitment or Loan, shall notify the London Agent
thereof, and with respect to any assignment of any Canadian Commitment or Loan,
shall notify the Canadian Agent thereof. No assignment shall be effective for
purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph.
(a)    (o) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, any Agent, any
Issuing Lender or either Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Lenders and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such

110

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver
described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the limitations of Section
2.14, Section 2.15, and Section 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such
Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.
(i)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such
Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Parent’s prior written consent (which consent expressly acknowledges
any additional obligations of the Borrowers in respect of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes). A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section
2.16 unless the Parent is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Parent, to comply with
Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.
(ii)    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)    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 without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge
or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.
Section 10.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by any of the Borrowers and Guarantors herein and in the
certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties
hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any
investigation made

111

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent,
Issuing Lender or other Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default
or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended
hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable
under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is
outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The
provisions of Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 10.03 and
ARTICLE VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the
Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 10.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any
separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agents constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile or electronic photocopy (i.e. “PDF”) shall be effective as delivery of
a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 10.07    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
Section 10.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates 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 obligations at any time owing
by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower
or any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower and
each Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand
under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender or Affiliate thereof shall set off or
apply any deposits of a Foreign Subsidiary or any other obligations at any time
owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit of such Foreign
Subsidiary, on account of any or all of the obligations of the Parent, the US
Borrowers or any Domestic Subsidiary, including, without limitation, any or all
of the obligations of the Parent incurred in its capacity as an Alternative
Currency Borrower. The rights of each such Lender this

112

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) which such Lender may have.
Section 10.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)    This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
law of the State of New York.
(b)    EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK
COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT
OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT
A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE
ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE
AGENTS, THE ISSUING LENDER OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST THE ANY OF THE BORROWERS OR
GUARANTORS OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
(c)    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 in any court referred to
in paragraph (b) of this Section. 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.
(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement
will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.
Section 10.10    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 ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR

113

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
Section 10.11    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 shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 10.12    Confidentiality.
(a)    Each of the Agents, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,
employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep
such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by
any subpoena or similar legal process (provided that in the case of Information
required to be disclosed by a Person pursuant to a subpoena or similar legal
process, such Person shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Parent with
prior notice of such required disclosure and the opportunity to obtain a
protective order in respect thereof if no conflict exists with such Peron’s
governmental, regulatory or legal requirements), (d) to any other party to this
Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any
suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of
rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
any Borrower and its obligations under the Loan Documents, (g) with the consent
of the Parent or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Agents, the Issuing Lenders or any Lender on a nonconfidential
basis from a source other than any Borrower or any of its respective
Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to
any Borrower, any such Subsidiary or its respective business, other than any
such information that is available to the Agents, the Issuing Lenders or any
Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Borrower or such
Subsidiary, as applicable. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality
of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied
with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of
care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information.
(b)    EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 10.12(a)
FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE US BORROWER AND ITS

114

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS
DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC
INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE
SECURITIES LAWS.
(c)    ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED
BY ANY BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF
ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY
CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWERS AND GUARANTORS AND
THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER
REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE AGENTS THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS
ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT
MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
(d)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.12(a), or any other
provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, each of the Agents, the
Issuing Lenders, the Lenders and the Obligors may disclose to any and all
Persons general information that is relevant in order to understand the tax
treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any Loan Document. For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence does
not allow for the disclosure of any specific information that is not otherwise
discloseable by reason of Section 10.12(a) and that is not relevant to
understanding the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, such as (i) the specific identity of the
Borrowers or any of its current or future Affiliates or (ii) any specific
pricing terms or any other specific nonpublic business or financial information.
For purposes of this Section 10.12(d), the terms “tax treatment” and “tax
structure” shall have the meaning provided by Treasury Regulation Section
1.6011-4.
Section 10.13    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or
reimbursement obligation, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that
are treated as interest on such Loan or reimbursement obligation under
applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful
rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received
or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or reimbursement obligation in
accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such
Loan or reimbursement obligation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in
respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful,
the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or
reimbursement obligation but were not payable as a result of the operation of
this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such
Lender in respect of other Loans, reimbursement obligations or periods shall be
increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount
shall have been received by such Lender.

115

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 10.14    USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107‑56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), hereby notifies the Borrowers that
pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the
names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.
Section 10.15    Amendment and Restatement. Upon the Effective Date, the Prior
Agreement shall be amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this
Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement, any
promissory notes delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(d) and the other Loan
Documents executed and delivered herewith do not constitute a novation or
termination of the “Obligations” as defined in the Prior Agreement as in effect
prior to the Effective Date and (b) such “Obligations” are in all respects
continuing with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this
Agreement.
Section 10.16    Exiting Lender. Each of Bank of the West and Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, Canadian Branch, as “Lenders” under the Prior Agreement
(collectively, the “Exiting Lenders”), hereby sells, assigns, transfers and
conveys to the Lenders hereto, and each of the Lenders hereto hereby purchases
and accepts, so much of the aggregate commitments under, and loans outstanding
under, the Prior Agreement such that, after giving effect to this Agreement (a)
each of the Exiting Lenders shall (i) be paid in full for all amounts owing
under the Prior Agreement as agreed and calculated by such Exiting Lenders and
the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Prior Agreement, (ii) cease to
be a “Lender” under the Prior Agreement and the “Loan Documents” as defined
therein and (iii) relinquish its rights (provided that it shall still be
entitled to any rights of indemnification in respect of any circumstance or
event or condition arising prior to the Effective Date) and be released from its
obligations under the Prior Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” as defined
therein, and (b) the Commitments of each Lender shall be as set forth on
Schedule 2.01 hereto. The foregoing assignments, transfers and conveyances are
without recourse to the Exiting Lenders and without any warranties whatsoever by
the Agents, the Issuing Lenders or any Exiting Lender as to title,
enforceability, collectability, documentation or freedom from liens or
encumbrances, in whole or in part, other than the warranty of each Exiting
Lender that it has not previously sold, transferred, conveyed or encumbered such
interests. The assignee Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall make all
appropriate adjustments in payments under the Prior Agreement, the “Notes” and
the other “Loan Documents” thereunder for periods prior to the adjustment date
among themselves. Each of the Exiting Lender is executing this Agreement for the
sole purpose of evidencing its agreement to this Section 10.16 only and for no
other purpose.
