Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent, in the case of a U.S. Revolving Loan or
a Tranche B Revolving Loan, or the European Administrative Agent, in the case of
a Tranche C Revolving Loan, shall advise each applicable Lender of the details

Section 2.04    Protective Advances. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth
below and in clause (vii) of Section 2.01, the Administrative Agent or the

Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of, or
maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (C) to
pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the applicable
Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of
reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in
Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents; provided, that
the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances shall not, at any time,

conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The (1)
U.S. Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens granted in favor of the
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties, securing all of
the Secured Obligations (including the U.S. Secured Obligations and the
International Secured Obligations)) and (2) Tranche B Protective Advances

84

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

and Tranche C Protective Advances shall each be secured by Liens granted in
favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the International Secured
Parties, securing all of the International Secured Obligations), and by Liens
granted in favor of the European Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the
International Secured Parties, securing all of the International Secured
Obligations). All (x) U.S. Protective Advances and Tranche B Protective Advances
denominated in Dollars shall be ABR Borrowings, (y) all Tranche B Protective
Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be Canadian Prime Rate
Borrowings, and (z) all Tranche C Protective Advances shall be Overnight LIBO
Borrowings. Each Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be
revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in
writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the applicable Agent’s
receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient U.S. Availability and the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the
Administrative Agent may request the U.S. Revolving Lenders to make a U.S.
Revolving Loan, in Dollars, to repay a U.S. Protective Advance. At any time that
there is sufficient Tranche B Availability and the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request
the Tranche B Revolving Lenders to make a Tranche B Revolving Loan, in the
currency in which the applicable Tranche B Protective Advance was denominated,
to repay a Tranche B Protective Advance. At any time that there is sufficient
Tranche C Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02
have been satisfied, the European Administrative Agent may request the Tranche C
Revolving Lenders to make a Tranche C Revolving Loan, in the currency in which

C Protective Advance. At any other time the applicable Agent may require (I) the
U.S. Revolving Lenders to fund with respect to U.S. Protective Advances, in
Dollars, (II) the Tranche B Revolving Lenders to fund with respect to Tranche B
Protective Advances, in the currency in which the applicable Protective Advance

Section 2.04(b).
(b)Upon the making of a U.S. Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent
(whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each U.S. Revolving
Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent, without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such U.S.
Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. Upon the making
of a Tranche B Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or
after the occurrence of a Default), each Tranche B Revolving Lender shall be

Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. Upon the making of a Tranche
C Protective Advance by the European Administrative Agent (whether before or
after the occurrence of a Default), each Tranche C Revolving Lender shall be
deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and
irrevocably purchased from the European Administrative Agent, without recourse
or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Tranche C

the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in
any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the applicable Agent shall promptly
distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments
of principal and interest and all

85

proceeds of Collateral received by the applicable Agent in respect of such
Protective Advance.
Section 2.05    Swingline Loans and Overadvances. (a) The Administrative Agent,
the U.S. Swingline Lender and the U.S. Revolving Lenders agree that in order to
facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
with respect to the U.S. Commitment, promptly after the Borrower Representative
requests an ABR Borrowing under the U.S. Facility, the U.S. Swingline Lender may
elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request
by advancing, on behalf of the U.S. Revolving Lenders and in the amount
requested, same day funds to the U.S. Borrower, on the applicable Borrowing date
to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the U.S. Swingline
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a
“U.S. Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the U.S. Swingline
Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(h). Each
U.S. Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable
to other ABR Loans funded by the U.S. Revolving Lenders, except that all
payments thereon shall be payable to the U.S. Swingline Lender solely for its
own account. In addition, in the event that there is a Controlled Disbursement
Account of the U.S. Borrower at such time, the U.S. Borrower hereby authorizes
the U.S. Swingline Lender to, and the U.S. Swingline Lender shall, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written
notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on each Business Day,
make available to the U.S. Borrower by means of a credit to the Funding
Account(s), the proceeds of a U.S. Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay
items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account that Business Day;
provided that, if on any Business Day there is insufficient borrowing capacity
to permit the U.S. Swingline Lender to make available to the U.S. Borrower a
U.S. Swingline Loan in the amount necessary to pay all items to be so drawn on
any such Controlled Disbursement Account of the U.S. Borrower on such Business
Day, then the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an ABR Borrowing
pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount of such deficiency to be made on such
Business Day. The aggregate amount of U.S. Swingline Loans outstanding at any
time shall not exceed $35,000,000. The U.S. Swingline Lender shall not make any
U.S. Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrowers would not be
in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. All U.S. Swingline Loans
shall be ABR Borrowings.
(b)The Administrative Agent, the Tranche B Swingline Lender and the Tranche B
Revolving Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Tranche B Commitment,
promptly after the Borrower Representative (or the applicable Borrower) requests
a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing under the Tranche B Facility, the Tranche B
Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(b) apply to
such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the Tranche B Revolving
Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the Canadian Borrower, on
the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made
solely by the Tranche B Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) is
referred to in this Agreement as a “Tranche B Swingline Loan”), with settlement
among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set
forth in Section 2.05(h). Each Tranche B Swingline Loan shall be subject to all
the terms and conditions applicable to other Canadian Prime Rate Loans funded by
the applicable Tranche B Revolving Lenders, except that all payments thereon
shall be payable to the Tranche B Swingline Lender solely for its own account.
In addition, in the event that there is a Controlled Disbursement Account

86

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

of the Canadian Borrower at such time, the Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes
the Tranche B Swingline Lender to, and the Tranche B Swingline Lender shall,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further
written notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on each Business
Day, make available to the Canadian Borrower by means of a credit to the Funding
Account(s), the proceeds of a Tranche B Swingline Loan to the extent necessary
to pay items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account of the Canadian
Borrower that Business Day; provided that, if on any Business Day there is
insufficient borrowing capacity to permit the Tranche B Swingline Lender to make
available to the Canadian Borrower a Tranche B Swingline Loan in the amount
necessary to pay all items to be so drawn on any such Controlled Disbursement
Account of the Canadian Borrower on such Business Day, then the Canadian
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing
pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount of such deficiency to be made on such
Business Day. The aggregate amount of Tranche B Swingline Loans outstanding at
any time shall not exceed $8,750,000. The Tranche B Swingline Lender shall not
make any Tranche B Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrowers
would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. All Tranche
B Swingline Loans shall be Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings.

(c)The European Administrative Agent, the Tranche C Swingline Lender and the
Tranche C Revolving Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Tranche C
Commitment, promptly after the Borrower Representative (or the applicable
Borrower) requests a LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing under the Tranche C
Facility, the Tranche C Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this
Section 2.05(c) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the
Tranche C Revolving Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the
applicable European Borrower, on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding
Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the Tranche C Swingline Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Tranche
C Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take
place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(h). Each Tranche C
Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to
other LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing, as applicable, funded by the
applicable Tranche C Revolving Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall
be payable to the Tranche C Swingline Lender solely for its own account. The
aggregate amount of Tranche C Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not
exceed $50,000,000. The Tranche C Swingline Lender shall not make any Tranche C
Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrowers would not be in
compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. All Tranche C Swingline
Loans shall be Overnight LIBO Borrowings.

(d)Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the
request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole
discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make U.S. Revolving Loans to the
U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the U.S. Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed
the U.S. Availability (any such excess U.S. Revolving Loans are herein referred
to collectively as “U.S. Overadvances”); provided that, no U.S. Overadvance
shall result in a Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section
2.01 for so long as such U.S. Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with
the terms of this clause, but solely

87

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

with respect to the amount of such U.S. Overadvance. In addition, U.S.
Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section
4.02(c) has not been satisfied (except to the extent such U.S. Overadvance would
cause any U.S. Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its U.S.
Commitment, or cause the Applicable Limit to be exceeded). All U.S. Overadvances
shall constitute ABR Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to
make U.S. Overadvances is limited to (x) together with all Tranche B
Overadvances constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche C Overadvances
constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of U.S. Overadvances
constituting Protective Advances not to exceed at any time 5.0% of the sum of
the total Revolving Commitments at such time and (y) together with all Tranche B
Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche C Overadvances
not constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of U.S. Overadvances
not constituting Protective Advances not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time. No
U.S. Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days, and no U.S.
Overadvance shall cause any U.S. Revolving Lender’s U.S. Revolving Exposure to
exceed its U.S. Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization
to make U.S. Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall
become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(e)Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the
request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole
discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Tranche B Revolving Loans
to the Canadian Borrower, on behalf of the Tranche B Revolving Lenders, in
amounts that exceed the Tranche B Availability (any such excess Tranche B
Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “Tranche B
Overadvances”); provided that, no Tranche B Overadvance shall result in a
Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as
such Tranche B Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of
this clause, but solely with respect to the amount of such Tranche B
Overadvance. In addition, Tranche B Overadvances may be made even if the
condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied (except
to the extent such Tranche B Overadvance would cause any Tranche B Revolving
Lender’s Tranche B Revolving Exposure to exceed its Tranche B Commitment, or
cause the Applicable Limit to be exceeded). All Tranche B Overadvances shall
constitute Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative
Agent to make Tranche B Overadvances is limited to (x) together with all U.S.
Overadvances constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche C Overadvances
constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of Tranche B Overadvances
constituting Protective Advances not to exceed at any time 5.0% of the sum of
the total Revolving Commitments at such time and (y) together with all U.S.
Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche C Overadvances
not constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of Tranche B
Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances not to exceed $10,000,000 at
any time. No Tranche B Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty
days and no Tranche B Overadvance shall cause any Tranche B Revolving Lender’s
Tranche B Revolving Exposure to exceed its Tranche B Commitment. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the
Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Tranche B Overadvances. Any such
revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the
Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

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

(f)Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the
request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole
discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Tranche C Revolving Loans
to any European Borrower, on behalf of the Tranche C Revolving Lenders, in
amounts that exceed the Tranche C Availability for such Borrower (any such
excess Tranche C Revolving Loans for any such Borrower are herein referred to
collectively as “Tranche C Overadvances”); provided that, no Tranche C
Overadvance shall result in a Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply
with Section 2.01 for so long as such Tranche C Overadvance remains outstanding
in accordance with the terms of this clause, but solely with respect to the
amount of such Tranche C Overadvance. In addition, Tranche C Overadvances may be
made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been
satisfied (except to the extent such Tranche C Overadvance would cause any
Tranche C Revolving Lender’s Tranche C Revolving Exposure to exceed its Tranche
C Commitment, or cause the Applicable Limit to be exceeded). All Tranche C
Overadvances shall constitute Overnight LIBO Borrowings. The authority of the
Administrative Agent to make Tranche C Overadvances is limited to (x) together
with all U.S. Overadvances constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche B
Overadvances constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of Tranche C
Overadvances constituting Protective Advances not to exceed at any time 5.0% of
the sum of the total Revolving Commitments at such time and (y) together with
all U.S. Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche B
Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of
Tranche C Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances not to exceed
$10,000,000 at any time. No Tranche C Overadvance may remain outstanding for
more than thirty days and no Tranche C Overadvance shall cause any Tranche C
Revolving Lender’s Tranche C Revolving Exposure to exceed its Tranche C
Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Required
Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make
Tranche C Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become
effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(g)Upon the making of a U.S. Swingline Loan, a Tranche B Swingline Loan, a
Tranche C Swingline Loan, a U.S. Overadvance, a Tranche B Overadvance, or a
Tranche C Overadvance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and
regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such
Swingline Loan or Overadvance), each U.S. Revolving Lender (with respect to U.S.
Swingline Loans and U.S. Overadvances), Tranche B Revolving Lender (with respect
to Tranche B Swingline Loans and Tranche B Overadvances), or Tranche C Revolving
Lender (with respect to Tranche C Swingline Loans and Tranche C Overadvances)
shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the applicable Swingline Lender
or the applicable Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan or Overadvance in
proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Commitment, Tranche B
Commitment, or Tranche C Commitment, as applicable. The applicable Swingline
Lender or the Administrative Agent may, at any time, require with respect to
U.S. Swingline Loans, the U.S. Revolving Lenders, with respect to Tranche B
Swingline Loans, the Tranche B Revolving Lenders, and with respect to Tranche C
Swingline Loans, the Tranche C Revolving Lenders, to fund, in

89

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

the currency in which the applicable Swingline Loan was denominated, their
participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender
is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance
purchased hereunder, the applicable Agent shall promptly distribute to such
Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and
interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by such Agent in respect of
such Loan.

(h)Each of the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the U.S. Swingline Lender, the Tranche B Swingline Lender, or the
Tranche C Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall request settlement (a
“Settlement”) with the U.S. Revolving Lenders, the Tranche B Revolving Lenders,
or the Tranche C Revolving Lenders, as applicable, on at least a weekly basis or
on any more frequent date that the applicable Agent elects, by notifying the
applicable Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or
e-mail no later than 12:00 noon, Local Time (i) on the date of such requested
Settlement (the “Settlement Date”), with regard to U.S. Swingline Loans, (ii)
two Business Days prior to the Settlement Date, with regard to Tranche B
Swingline Loans, and (iii) three Business Days prior to the Settlement Date,
with regard to Tranche C Swingline Loans (or, in each case, on the date of such
requested Settlement, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing). Each U.S. Revolving Lender, Tranche B Revolving Lender, or Tranche
C Revolving Lender, as the case may be (other than the Swingline Lenders, in the
case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer, in the currency in which the
applicable Loan was denominated, the amount of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with
respect to which Settlement is requested to the applicable Agent, to such
account of such Agent as such Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m.,
Local Time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence
of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the
Administrative Agent in respect of U.S. Swingline Loans shall be applied against
the amounts of the U.S. Swingline Lender’s U.S. Swingline Loans and, together
with the U.S. Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such U.S. Swingline
Loan, shall constitute U.S. Revolving Loans of such U.S. Revolving Lenders,
which shall be ABR Loans, and shall no longer constitute U.S. Swingline Loans.
Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent in respect of Tranche B
Swingline Loans shall be applied against the amounts of the Tranche B Swingline
Lender’s Tranche B Swingline Loans and, together with the Tranche B Swingline
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Tranche B Swingline Loan, shall
constitute Tranche B Revolving Loans of such Tranche B Revolving Lenders, which
shall be Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and shall no longer constitute Tranche B
Swingline Loans. Such amounts transferred to the European Administrative Agent
in respect of Tranche C Swingline Loans shall be applied against the amounts of
the Tranche C Swingline Lender’s Tranche C Swingline Loans and, together with
the Tranche C Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Tranche C
Swingline Loan, shall constitute Tranche C Revolving Loans of such Tranche C
Revolving Lenders, which shall be LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing in the
relevant currency with an Interest Period of one week, and shall no longer
constitute Tranche C Swingline Loans. If any such amount referred to in this
clause (h) is not transferred to the applicable Agent by any applicable Lender
on such Settlement Date, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender on demand such amount, together with interest thereon,
as specified in Section 2.07.

conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may request the issuance of Letters
of Credit for its own account (or the Borrower Representative may request the
issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of another Borrower), in a form
reasonably acceptable to each applicable Agent and the applicable U.S. Issuing
Bank (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit), the applicable Canadian Issuing

time to time during the Availability Period. U.S. Letters of Credit and Canadian
Letters of Credit may be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, and

into by one or more Borrowers with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of
Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall have no
obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit (i) the
proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (A) to fund any activity
or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory
that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (B) in any
manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this
Agreement, (ii) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority
or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank
from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law relating to the
Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank
shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of
letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall
impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any
restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not
otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall
impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was
not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith
deems material to it, or (iii) if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would
violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit
generally; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x)
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests,
rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection
therewith or in the implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules,
guidelines, requirements or directives promulgated by the Bank for International
Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or
similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in
each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed not to be in
effect on the Effective Date for purposes of clause (ii) above, regardless of
the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.
(b)Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Representative (or
the applicable Borrower) shall deliver by hand or facsimile (or transmit by
electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the
applicable Issuing Bank) to (i) the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank (in the case of
U.S. Letters of Credit), the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank (in the case of
Canadian Letters of Credit), or the applicable European Issuing Bank (in the
case of European Letters of Credit) and (ii) in the case of U.S. Letters of
Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent, or in the case
of European Letters of Credit, the European

Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or
extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension
(which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to
expire (which shall comply with clause (c) of this Section), the amount of such

in the case of European Letters of Credit), the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare,
amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit, which notice shall, in the case of
any European Letter of Credit, attach thereto the form of Letter of Credit to be
issued that has been agreed to by the European Administrative Agent. If
requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall
submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in
connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be
issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to
represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed (A)
initially, $300,000,000 and (B) thereafter, such greater or lesser amount as may

aggregate of the Issuing Bank Sublimits or (II) the aggregate Revolving
Commitments), (ii) the aggregate U.S. LC Exposure shall not exceed (A)

be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) no U.S. Issuing Bank
shall be obligated to issue or modify any U.S. Letter of Credit if, immediately
after giving effect thereto, the outstanding U.S. LC Exposure in respect of all
U.S. Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its Affiliates would exceed
such U.S. Issuing Bank’s U.S. Issuing Bank Sublimit, (y) no Canadian Issuing
Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify any Canadian Letter of Credit if,
immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding Canadian LC Exposure in
respect of all Canadian Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its
Affiliates would exceed such Canadian Issuing Bank’s Canadian Issuing Bank
Sublimit and (z) no European Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify
any European Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the
outstanding European LC Exposure in respect of all European Letters of Credit

92

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

(c)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to
termination or non-renewal by notice from the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary to
the extent permitted by such Letter of Credit) at or prior to the close of
business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance
of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof,
including, without limitation, any automatic renewal provision, one year after
such renewal or extension) (provided that any Issuing Bank may agree in its sole
discretion, to issue Letters of Credit for a period longer than one year (which
shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) below), upon
such additional terms and conditions (including increased or additional fees) as
may be agreed between it and the applicable Borrower) and (ii) the date that is
five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (it being understood that any
Letter of Credit that provides for time drafts to be submitted thereunder shall
have an expiry date which is in advance of such five Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date by the number of days contemplated for such time drafts); provided
that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the automatic
renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend
beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above).

(d)Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a
Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action
on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable U.S.
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each U.S. Revolving Lender (with respect to each
U.S. Letter of Credit), the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank hereby grants to

consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (i) with respect to each U.S.
Letter of Credit, each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agrees to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, (ii) with
respect to each Canadian Letter of Credit, each applicable Tranche B Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, in the same currency
in which such Canadian Letter of Credit is issued or in Dollars in an amount
equal to the Dollar Amount thereof, to the Administrative Agent, and (iii) with
respect to each European Letter of Credit, each applicable Tranche C Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, in the same currency
in which such European Letter of Credit is issued, to the European
Administrative Agent, in each case for the account of the applicable Issuing
Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such
Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as
provided in clause (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required
to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant
to this clause in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,

93

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

renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance
of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that
each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or
reduction whatsoever.

(e)Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect
of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower (with respect to any Letter of
Credit issued for its account) shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to
the Administrative Agent (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit or Canadian
Letters of Credit) or the European Administrative Agent (in the case of European
Letters of Credit), in the same currency as the applicable LC Disbursement (or,
in the case of a U.S. Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, in
Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount thereof), an amount equal to
such LC Disbursement (i) not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date that
such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative or the applicable
Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m.,
Local Time, on such date, or, (ii) if such notice has not been received by the
Borrower Representative or the applicable Borrower prior to such time on such
date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on (A) the Business Day that
the Borrower Representative or the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if
such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of receipt,
or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower
Representative or the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice
is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the
Borrower Representative (or the applicable Borrower) may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section
2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or
U.S. Swingline Loan (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit), a Canadian Prime
Rate Borrowing or Tranche B Swingline Loan (in the case of Canadian Letters of
Credit), or a Tranche C Swingline Loan (in the case of European Letters of
Credit), in an equivalent amount and like currency and, to the extent so
financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and
replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing
or Swingline Loan (or the applicable portion thereof). If the Borrowers fail to
make such payment when due, the applicable Agent shall notify each applicable
Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the
applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent (in the case of LC Disbursements in respect of
U.S. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit) or the European
Administrative Agent (in the case of LC Disbursements in respect of European
Letters of Credit) in the same currency as the applicable LC Disbursement or in
the Dollar Amount thereof (in the case of U.S. Letter of Credit made in Canadian
Dollars), its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable
Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans
made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the
payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the applicable Agent shall
promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from
the applicable Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the applicable Agent of
any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this clause, such Agent shall distribute
such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have
made payments pursuant to this clause to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank,
then such Agent shall distribute

94

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

such payment to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests
may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause to
reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the
funding of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans as contemplated above) shall not
constitute a Loan (but shall be U.S. Secured Obligations (in the case of U.S.
Letters of Credit), Canadian Secured Obligations (in the case of Canadian
Letters of Credit), or European Secured Obligations (in the case of European
Letters of Credit)) and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The U.S. Borrower, the Canadian
Borrower, or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall, upon demand from any
Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender, pay to such Issuing Bank or such Revolving
Lender, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by such
Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender; (ii) any reduction in any amount payable
to or in the effective return on the capital to such Issuing Bank or such
Revolving Lender; (iii) any currency exchange loss, in each case with respect to
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), that such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender
sustains as a result of the applicable Borrowers’ repayment in Dollars of any
Letter of Credit that was denominated in any other currency; or (iv) any
interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by such Issuing Bank
as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the Euro in
any member state participating in the Euro. A certificate of the applicable
Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such
additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Bank shall be
conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

(g)Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ respective obligations to reimburse LC
Disbursements as provided in clause (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 or herein; (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) any payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter
of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or (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 2.06, constitute a legal or equitable discharge
of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.
No Agent, Lenders or Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have
any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance
or transfer of any 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
Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the
applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any
direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages, claims in respect of which are

95

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

hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law)
suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the applicable Issuing Bank’s
failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents
presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties
hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank 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, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its
sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

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

(i)Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then,
unless the applicable 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 the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, (i)
in the case of LC Disbursements in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit or Canadian
Letters of Credit made in Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR
Revolving Loans, (ii) in the case of an LC Disbursement in respect of Canadian
Letters of Credit made in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Letters of Credit made in
Canadian Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate
Loans, and (iii) in the case of an LC Disbursement in respect of European
Letters of Credit, at the rate per annum then applicable to Overnight LIBO
Loans, and in each case such interest shall be payable when such reimbursement
is due; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC
Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.06, then Section
2.13(g) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this clause shall be for the
account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and
after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to clause (e) of this
Section 2.06 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such
Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j)Replacement of the Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time
by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative
Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement
of

96

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

an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the
applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the
replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective
date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the
rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term
“Issuing Bank”, “U.S. Issuing Bank”, “Canadian Issuing Bank”, and “European
Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous
Issuing Bank, U.S. Issuing Bank, Canadian Issuing Bank, or European Issuing
Bank, as applicable, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, U.S.
Issuing Banks, Canadian Issuing Banks, or European Issuing Banks, as applicable,
as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank
hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this
Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it
prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters
of Credit. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing
Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty
days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
Representative and the Lenders, in which case, such Issuing Bank shall be
replaced in accordance with this Section 2.06(j).

(k)Cash Collateralization. Subject to Section 2.18(b), if any Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower
Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent (in the case of
U.S. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit) or the European
Administrative Agent (in the case of European Letters of Credit), or from the
Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated,
Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the
aggregate LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this
clause or if any of the other provisions hereof require cash collateralization,
(i) the U.S. Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent,
in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Secured
Parties for the purpose of securing the Secured Obligations (the “LC Collateral
Account”), cash in the applicable currency and in an amount equal to 105% of the
amount of the U.S. LC Exposure as of such date, (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall
deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the International Secured Parties
for the purpose of securing the International Secured Obligations (the “Canadian
LC Collateral Account”), cash in the applicable currency (or currencies) in an
amount equal to 105% of the amount of the Canadian LC Exposure as of such date,
and (iii) the European Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the European
Administrative Agent, in the name of the European Administrative Agent and for
the benefit of the International Secured Parties for the purpose of securing the
International Secured Obligations (the “European LC Collateral Account”), cash
in the applicable currency (or currencies) in an amount equal to 105% of the
amount of the European LC Exposure as of such date; 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 Article VII. Such deposits, (A) if
made into the LC Collateral Account, shall be held by the Administrative Agent
as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, (B) if
made

97

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

into the Canadian LC Collateral Account, shall be held by the Administrative
Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the International Secured
Obligations, and (C) if made into the European LC Collateral Account, shall be
held by the European Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and
performance of the International Secured Obligations. The applicable Agent shall
have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of
withdrawal, over such accounts, and (x) the U.S. Borrower hereby grants the
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing the
Secured Obligations) a security interest in the LC Collateral Account and all
money or other assets on deposit therein or credited thereto, (y) the Canadian
Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the
International Secured Parties, securing the International Secured Obligations) a
security interest in the Canadian LC Collateral Account and all money or other
assets on deposit therein or credited thereto, and (z) the European Borrower
hereby grants the European Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the
International Secured Parties, securing the International Secured Obligations) a
security interest in the European LC Collateral Account and all money or other
assets on deposit therein or credited thereto; provided that nothing in this
sentence of this Section 2.06(k) shall be deemed to limit the rights of any
Agent pursuant to Section 5.14. Other than any interest earned on the investment
of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole
discretion of the applicable Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such
deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such
investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral Account, the Canadian LC
Collateral Account, or the European LC Collateral Account, as applicable. Moneys
in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to
reimburse the U.S. Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements in respect of U.S. Letters
of Credit 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 U.S. Borrower for the U.S. LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of
the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders
with U.S. LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the aggregate U.S. LC
Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. Moneys in the
Canadian LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to
reimburse the Canadian Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements in respect of Canadian
Letters of Credit 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 Canadian Borrower for the Canadian LC Exposure at such time or, if the
maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of
Revolving Lenders with Canadian LC Exposure representing at least a majority of
the aggregate Canadian LC Exposure), to be applied to satisfy other
International Secured Obligations. Moneys in the European LC Collateral Account
shall be applied by the European Administrative Agent to reimburse the European
Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements in respect of European Letters of Credit 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 European
Borrowers for the European LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the
Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with
European LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the aggregate European
LC Exposure), to be applied to satisfy other International Secured Obligations.
If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as
a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent
not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such

98

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

Borrower within three Business Days after all such Events of Default have been
cured or waived as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent.

(l)Issuing Bank Reports to Agents. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative
Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set
forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent
(i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be
requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals,
all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii)
reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or
extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended,
renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have
changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC
Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business
Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be
reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the
amount of such LC Disbursement, and (v) on any other Business Day, such other
information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. In addition, each Issuing Bank
shall, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on each Business Day, notify
the applicable Agent in reasonable detail as to the amount of the LC Exposure
with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(m)LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of
a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related
thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount
thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit
after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated
amount is in effect at the time of determination.

99

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

Section 2.07    Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to
be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer
of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the
Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, most
recently designated by such Agent for such purpose by notice to the applicable
Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided
that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The applicable
Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative (or, if
directed by the Borrower Representative, to the account of the applicable
Borrower) by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the
Funding Account; provided that Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an
LC Disbursement in respect of a U.S. Letter of Credit as provided in Section
2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable U.S.
Issuing Bank; (ii) an LC Disbursement in respect of a Canadian Letter of Credit
as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to
the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank; (iii) an LC Disbursement in respect of a
European Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by
the European Administrative Agent to the applicable European Issuing Bank; and
(iv) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the applicable
Agent. U.S. Loans and participations in U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. Letters of
Credit will be funded by each U.S. Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with
its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Commitment. Tranche B Loans and
participations in Tranche B Swingline Loans and Canadian Letters of Credit will
be funded by each Tranche B Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage of the Tranche B Commitment. Tranche C Loans and
participations in Tranche C Swingline Loans and European Letters of Credit will
be funded by each Tranche C Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage of the Tranche C Commitment.
(b)Unless the applicable Agent shall have received notice from an applicable
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (or, in the case of any ABR
Borrowing or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, prior to the time of such proposed
Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to such Agent such Lender’s
share of such Borrowing, such Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower
a corresponding amount. In such event, if an applicable Lender has not in fact
made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to such Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the applicable Borrowers severally agree to pay to such
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to such Agent, at (i)
in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and
a rate determined by such Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrowers, the
interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of Dollar denominated
amounts), Canadian Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Dollar denominated
amounts), or Overnight LIBO Loans (in the case of Euro or Sterling denominated
amounts). If such Lender pays such amount to the applicable Agent, then such
amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

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

Section 2.08    Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall
be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of
a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing, a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing,
shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request.
Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a
different Type, to convert CDOR Borrowing to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, to
convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) into CDOR
Borrowings, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Revolving
Borrowing, a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, may elect Interest
Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Borrower
Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of
the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated
ratably (in accordance with the principal amount of the applicable Loans) among
the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans
comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This
Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective
Advances, which may not be converted or continued. Tranche C Revolving Loans
denominated in Dollars may not be converted to ABR Loans.
(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Borrower
Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (in the case of U.S.
Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans) or the European Administrative
Agent with a copy to the Administrative Agent (in the case of European Revolving
Loans) of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would
be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving
Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective
date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be
irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile or
electronic communication to the Administrative Agent (in the case of U.S.
Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans) or by facsimile to the European
Administrative Agent with a copy to the Administrative Agent (in the case of
European Revolving Loans) of a written Interest Election Request in a form
approved by the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of European Revolving
Loans, by the European Administrative Agent) and signed by the Borrower
Representative.

(c)Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

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

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

101

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

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a LIBOR
Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a CDOR
Borrowing; and

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR
Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the
Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s (or
thirty days’) duration.
(d)Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the applicable
Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election
Request with respect to a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing, a EURIBOR Revolving
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 converted or continued to (i) an
ABR Borrowing, in the case of a U.S. Borrowing or a Tranche B Borrowing
denominated in Dollars, (ii) a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, in the case of a
CDOR Borrowing, or (iii) a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month,
in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Sterling, or (iv) a EURIBOR Borrowing
with an Interest Period of one month, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in
Euros, or (v) a Tranche C Borrowing denominated in Dollars. 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 Borrower Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is
continuing (x) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or
continued as a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing and (y)
unless repaid, (A) each LIBOR Borrowing that is a U.S. Borrowing or a Tranche B
Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the
end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) each CDOR Borrowing shall be
converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (C) each LIBOR Borrowing denominated in Sterling, and each
LIBOR Borrowing that is a Tranche C Borrowing denominated in Dollars, shall be
converted to a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month (or such
shorter period as may be determined by the European Administrative Agent in its
discretion) at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (D) each
EURIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to a EURIBOR Borrowing with an Interest
Period of one month (or such shorter period as may be determined by the European
Administrative Agent in its discretion) at the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto.

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

Section 2.09    Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments; Increase in
Revolving Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving
Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b)The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Revolving Commitments upon the
Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations.

(c)The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an
amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000;
(ii) each reduction to the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the U.S.
Commitment, the Tranche B Commitment, and the Tranche C Commitment ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of such commitments at such time; and (ii)
the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments, the Tranche B
Commitment, or the Tranche C Commitment if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10,
the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure
Limitations.

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

(e)The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitments by
obtaining additional Revolving Commitments (but in no event in excess of
$250,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases), either from one or more
of the Lenders or from other lending institutions provided that (i) any such
request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, (ii) the
Administrative Agent has approved the identity of any such new Lender, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iii) any such new Lender assumes all
of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, (iv) any such additional
Revolving Commitment shall be on the same terms as the other Revolving
Commitment and (v) the procedures described in Section 2.09(f) have been
satisfied. Nothing contained in this Section 2.09 shall constitute, or otherwise
be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its
Commitment hereunder at any time.

(f)Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the
written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender
being added or

103

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

increasing its Revolving Commitment, subject only to the approval of the
Required Lenders if any such increase would cause the Revolving Commitments to
exceed $950,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase, (i) the
Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate
of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an
authorized officer of such Loan Party certifying and attaching the resolutions
adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and, in the
case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such
increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and
the other Loan Documents are true and correct, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which
case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, (B) no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation
of such increase and (C) neither the funding of such increase nor the existence
of the Liens securing such increase will violate the terms of the Senior
Unsecured Note Documents or the Subordinated Convertible Note Documents, or the
documentation of any other Indebtedness of any Loan Party, in each case as in
effect on the date of such increase, (ii) all fees and expenses owing in respect
of such increase to any Agent or any Lender shall have been paid, and (iii) the
Borrowers shall have delivered all customary agreements, certificates, opinions
and other customary documents reasonably requested by any Agent (including, in
the discretion of the Administrative Agent, updated appraisals).

(g)Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase, the
Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the
Revolving Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase and shall distribute such
revised Revolving Commitment Schedule to the European Administrative Agent, each
of the Lenders, and the Borrower Representative, whereupon such revised
Revolving Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Revolving Commitment
Schedule and become part of this Agreement. On the Business Day following any
such increase, all outstanding ABR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be
reallocated among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance
with the Lenders’ respective revised Applicable Percentages and the Lenders
shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Loans then
outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other
amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the
opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation. LIBOR
Loans, EURIBOR Loans and CDOR Loans shall not be reallocated among the Lenders
until the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of
any such increase, at which time any such LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CDOR
Loans being continued shall be reallocated, and any such LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR
Loans or CDOR Loans being converted to ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans,
as applicable, shall be converted and allocated, among the Lenders (including
the newly added Lenders) at such time; provided that if an Event of Default
occurs after the date of any such increase but prior to the reallocation of the
Loans such Loans shall, subject to Section 2.16, be reallocated among the
Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Commitment.

(h)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no MIRE Event may be closed until the date
that is (x) if there are no Mortgaged Properties in a “Special Flood Hazard
Area” (or the equivalent thereof in Canada or any jurisdiction applicable to the
property of any

104

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

Additional European Borrower, as applicable), ten (10) Business Days or (y) if
there are any Mortgaged Properties in a “Special Flood Hazard Area” (or the
equivalent thereof in Canada or any jurisdiction applicable to the property of
any Additional European Borrower, as applicable), thirty (30) days, after the
Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders the following documents in
respect of such Mortgaged Property: (i) evidence of whether such real property
is located in any area that has been designated by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (or any comparable agency in Canada or any jurisdiction
applicable to the property of any Additional European Borrower, as applicable)
as a “Special Flood Hazard Area” (or the equivalent thereof in Canada or any
jurisdiction applicable to the property of any Additional European Borrower, as
applicable) (including, without limitation, with respect to real property
located in the United States, a life of loan flood zone determination, and with
respect to any real property, such other evidence as any Lender may reasonably
request); (ii) if such Mortgaged Property is located in a “Special Flood Hazard
Area” (or the equivalent thereof in Canada or any jurisdiction applicable to the
property of any Additional European Borrower, as applicable), (A) a notification
to the applicable Loan Parties of that fact and (if applicable) notification to
the applicable Loan Parties that flood insurance coverage is not available and
(B) evidence of the receipt by the applicable Loan Parties of such notice; and
(iii) if required by Flood Laws, evidence that the applicable Loan Party
maintains flood insurance on such Mortgaged Property in the amount required by,
and otherwise in compliance with, applicable Flood Insurance Laws; provided that
any such MIRE Event may be closed prior to expiration of such thirty day period
if the Administrative Agent shall have received confirmation from each Lender
that such Lender has completed any necessary flood insurance due diligence and
flood insurance compliance to its reasonable satisfaction; provided, further,
that in the case of both (x) and (y), if Bank of America or SunTrust Bank
provides written notice to the Administrative Agent before the expiration of the
applicable period that its flood insurance due diligence and/or flood insurance
compliance has not been completed, together with reasonable supporting detail
regarding such non-completion, such period shall be extended until such time
that the Administrative Agent shall have received written confirmation from such
bank (or banks) that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance
compliance have been completed by such bank (or banks) (such written
confirmation not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

receipt of such Net Proceeds to acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property,
equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) to be used in the
business of the Loan Parties, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is
continuing, then the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate shall not
(subject to Section 7.1 of the U.S. Security Agreement and the Canadian Security
Agreement, and any corresponding or comparable provision of any other Security
Agreement) be required to be immediately applied to the Obligations upon receipt
thereof, provided that if all or any portion of such Net Proceeds is not so
reinvested within such 270-day period, such unused portion shall be applied on
the last day of such period as a mandatory prepayment as set forth in Section
2.11(e) below; provided, further, that if the property subject to such
Prepayment Event constituted Collateral, then all property purchased with the
Net Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the
Lien of the applicable Collateral Documents in favor of the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties; provided, further, however,
that to the extent that, as a result of such Prepayment Event, the Borrowers
would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations (except with
respect to Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05) immediately after giving
effect to such Prepayment Event, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay the Loans

repay U.S. Secured Obligations.

follows: (i) the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds received in respect

them) shall be made solely in respect of the International Secured Obligations.

case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, each applicable Swingline Lender) by
telephone (confirmed by facsimile or, in the case of any notification to the

the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion

connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments
as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked
if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09.
Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing,
the applicable Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would
be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type
as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.
Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by

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

Section 2.14    Alternate Rate of Interest; Illegality. (a) If prior to the
commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing:
(i)any Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
(including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) the Adjusted
LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURIBOR Rate for such Interest Period for the
applicable currency; or

(ii)any Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate,
the LIBO Rate or the EURIBOR Rate for such Interest Period for the applicable
currency 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 Borrower
Representative and the applicable Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly
as practicable thereafter and, until the such Agent notifies the Borrower
Representative and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the
conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving
Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing of such currency shall be
ineffective, and any such request for a continuation of a LIBOR Revolving
Borrowing or a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be
deemed request to convert such LIBOR Revolving Borrowing or a EURIBOR Revolving
Borrowing to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) if any borrowing request requests a LIBOR
Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an
ABR Borrowing, and (iii) if any borrowing request requests (or any Interest Rate
Election requests a conversion to or continuation of) a LIBOR Revolving
Borrowing denominated in Sterling or a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing denominated
in Euros, such borrowing request shall be deemed a request for (and any Interest
Rate Election shall be deemed a request to convert such Borrowing to) an
Alternate Rate Borrowing, in each case unless such Borrowing Request is then
rescinded by written notice from the Borrower Representative (or the applicable
Borrower) to the applicable Agent (any such notice to provide the applicable
Agent and the applicable Lenders sufficient time to act thereon prior to funding
of the requested Borrowing).
(b)If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a CDOR Borrowing:

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

(ii)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the CDOR
Rate 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;

114

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower
Representative and the applicable Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly
as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower Representative and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that
requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any
Revolving Borrowing as, a CDOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a CDOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a
Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing unless such Borrowing Request is then rescinded by
written notice from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent (any
such notice to provide the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders
sufficient time to act thereon prior to funding of the requested Borrowing).
(c)If at any time:

(i)the European Administrative Agent determines, or any Tranche C Swingline
Lender advises the European Administrative Agent that it has determined (in each
case, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Overnight LIBO
Rate; or

(ii)the European Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that
the Overnight LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in any Overnight LIBO
Borrowing;

then the European Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower
Representative by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the European Administrative Agent (or such Tranche C Swingline
Borrower) notifies the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice no longer exist, any Tranche C Protective Advances, Tranche
C Overadvances, and Tranche C Swingline Loans that would otherwise be an
Overnight LIBO Borrowing, shall be an Alternate Rate Borrowing.
(d)If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or
if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender
or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any LIBOR
Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing, or any Governmental Authority
has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or
sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market or other
applicable market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower
Representative through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender
to make, maintain, fund or continue LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans, as
applicable, or to convert ABR Borrowings to LIBOR Borrowings, EURIBOR Borrowings
or CDOR Borrowings, as applicable, will be suspended until such Lender notifies
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice,
the Borrowers will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), either convert all LIBOR Borrowings or EURIBOR Borrowings
of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, or convert all CDOR Borrowing to Canadian
Prime Rate Borrowings, as applicable, either on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if such Lender may

115

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

lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Borrowings, EURIBOR Borrowings or CDOR
Borrowings, as applicable, to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or
conversion, the Borrowers will also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted.

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or
similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge

credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in
the Adjusted LIBO Rate, EURIBOR Rate or Overnight LIBO Rate) or Issuing Bank;

(ii)impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank 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 any participation therein;
or

(iii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other
liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes,
(B) Taxes described in clause (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C)
Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits or receipts (including
value-added or similar Taxes));

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to (A) increase the cost to such
Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or
main-taining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan),
(B) increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such other Recipient
of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or (C) reduce
the amount of any sum received or receiv-able by such Lender, Issuing Bank or
such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise),
then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or such other
Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may
be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding
capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of
such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement, the Commitments of, or the Loans made by, or participations in
Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time
to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such

116

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

Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company
for any such reduction suffered.

(c)A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as
the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be
delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt
thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant
to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than
270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be,
notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention
to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any LIBOR 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), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the
failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or
CDOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto
(regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is
revoked in accordance therewith, but not if such notice is rescinded pursuant to
Section 2.14), or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR
Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a
result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19 or
9.02(d), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for
the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR
Loan, EURIBOR Loan or a CDOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender
shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess,
if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal
amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate,
EURIBOR Rate or CDOR 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 which would accrue on such principal amount for the
period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest
Period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and
period to such LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan from other banks in the Eurocurrency
market, or for Canadian Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period to
such CDOR Loan from other banks in the Canadian bankers’ acceptance market, as
applicable. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2,16 shall be
delivered to the Borrower

117

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

Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10
days after receipt thereof.
Section 2.17    Taxes. (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any
Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any
Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any applicable law. If any
Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith,
that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so
withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are
Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased
as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding
applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17), the
applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such
withholding been made.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law, or, at the option of the applicable Agent, timely reimburse the Agent for
Other Taxes.

(c)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified
Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party or the
Borrower Representative shall deliver to the applicable 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 applicable Agent.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Canadian Loan Parties shall, jointly
and severally with respect to the Tranche B Facility, the European Loans Parties
shall, jointly and severally with respect to the Tranche C Facility, and the
U.S. Loan Parties shall, jointly and several with respect to the Facility,
indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by
such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or
payable under this Section 2.17(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority;
provided that if the Loan Party reasonably believes that such Taxes were not
correctly or legally asserted, the Recipient will use reasonable efforts to
cooperate (including where applicable, by promptly applying for a refund) with
the Loan Party to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which Taxes shall be repaid to
the Loan Party in accordance with Section 2.17(g)) so long as such efforts would
not cause the Recipient to suffer any economic, legal, regulatory or other
disadvantage that it, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines
to be material (and the Loan Party shall reimburse the Recipient for all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Recipient incurred in pursuing such
refund). The indemnity under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within 10 days
after the Recipient delivers to the Borrower Representative a certificate
stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient
and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall
be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such
Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the applicable Agent.

118

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

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
applicable Agent for (i) any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes,
only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the
applicable Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation
of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender, and (ii) any Taxes
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section
9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case,
that are paid or payable by the applicable 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. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(e) shall
be paid within 10 days after the applicable Agent delivers to the applicable
Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the
applicable Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or
payable absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the applicable
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 the applicable Agent to the
Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this
paragraph (e).

(f)Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or
reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under
any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
applicable Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
Representative or the applicable Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the
applicable Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a
reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the
Borrower Representative or the applicable Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower
Representative or the applicable Agent as will enable the Borrower
Representative or the applicable Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information
reporting requirements. 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 2.17(f)(ii)(A)
through (E) 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. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower
Representative or the applicable Agent, any Lender shall update any form or
certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f). If any form
or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f) expires
or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such
Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration,
obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower Representative and the
applicable Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and
update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S.
Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally
eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the applicable
Agent (in such number of copies

119

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

reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative and the applicable Agent) on
or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed
and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that
such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax;

(B)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty;

(C)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement
constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a
trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or
IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (2) a tax certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder”
of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and (c)
a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
Code;

(E)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments
made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender)
(1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed
in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this clause (f)(ii) that would be
required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such
beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender
is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a
tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 on behalf of such
partners; or

(F)any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a
reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary
documentation necessary to enable the Borrower Representative or the applicable
Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

120

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

(iii)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 Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law
and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent
to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or
has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary,
to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made
to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional
amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to
such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such
indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the
previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will the
indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the indemnifying party
pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) if the payment of which would place the
indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than
such 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 giving rise to
such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to
require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the
indemnifying party or any other Person.

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

(i)VAT.

(i.)Any payments by any Loan Party under any Loan Document which (in whole or in
part) constitute consideration for a supply or otherwise serve for VAT purposes
shall be deemed to be

121

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

exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable in connection therewith. If, in
connection with any payments by any Loan Party under any Loan Document, VAT is
chargeable (otherwise than by way of reverse charge) to any Agent, any Issuing
Bank, or any Lender, as the case may be, such Loan Party shall promptly pay to
each such Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender, as the case may be, an amount equal to
the amount of such VAT (and each such Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender shall,
promptly following a request therefor by the Borrower Representative, provide an
appropriate VAT invoice to the Borrower Representative).

(ii.)For the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, where any Loan Party is
required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or
any Lender, as the case may be, for any costs or expenses, that Loan Party shall
also at the same time pay and indemnify each such Agent, Issuing Bank, or
Lender, as the case may be, against all VAT and any stamp duty, registration or
other similar Tax payables, in each case incurred in connection with the entry
into, performance or enforcement of any Loan Document.

(iii.)In relation to any supply made by any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any
Lender to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such
Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender, that party must promptly provide such Agent,
Issuing Bank or Lender with details of that party's VAT registration and such
other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Agent's,
Issuing Bank's or Lender's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such
supply.

(j)FATCA Grandfathering. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed
under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrower Representative and
the applicable Agent shall treat (and the Loan Parties hereby authorize such
Agent to treat) the Obligations outstanding on July 1, 2014, as not qualifying
as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.1471.2(b)(2)(i).

122

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

Section 2.18    Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or
of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00
p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without
set-off or counterclaim. All payments (i) in respect of Loans (and interest
thereon) and LC Exposure shall, except as expressly set forth herein, be made in
the same currency in which such Loan was made or Letter of Credit issued, and
(ii) in respect of all other amounts payable hereunder or under other Loan
Documents shall be paid in Dollars. All such payments shall be made and
allocated, (x) in the case of the U.S. Loans, for the account of the U.S.
Revolving Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal
amounts of such U.S. Loans and the U.S. LC Exposure, (y) in the case of the
applicable Tranche B Loans, for the account of the Tranche B Revolving Lenders,
pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such
Tranche B Loans and Canadian LC Exposure, and (z) in the case of the applicable
Tranche C Loans, for the account of the Tranche C Revolving Lenders, pro rata in
accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Tranche C Loans
and European LC Exposure, in each case made to the applicable Borrower held by
them. Any amounts received after such time 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 payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn
Street, L2, Chicago, Illinois, except that (i) payments of Tranche B Loans and
LC Disbursements or fronting fees that are payable to any Canadian Issuing Bank,
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 200 Bay Street,
Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, Suite 1800, Toronto M5J 2J2 Canada; (ii) payments
of Tranche C Loans and LC Disbursements or fronting fees that are payable to any
European Issuing Bank shall be made to the European Administrative Agent at its
offices at 125 London Wall, London EC2Y 5AJ, United Kingdom; and (iii) payments
to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be paid as
expressly provided herein; provided that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15,
2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Each
applicable Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient, in like funds,
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.
(b)Any proceeds of Collateral received by any Agent (i) not constituting either
(A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under
the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) a
mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or
(C) amounts to be applied from a European Collection Deposit Account during any
Cash Management Period (which shall be applied in accordance with Section
2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
the applicable Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct and at all
times after the exercise of remedies against the Collateral by any Agent, shall
be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense
reimbursements then due to each Agent and each Issuing Bank from the Borrowers
(other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement
Obligations), second, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements
then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with
Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), third, to pay
interest due in respect of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fourth, to
pay the

123

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

principal of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest
then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective
Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the
Overadvances and Protective Advances), unreimbursed LC Disbursements, and
Qualified Secured Swap Agreement Obligations in an amount equal to the lesser of
such Qualified Secured Swap Agreement Obligations and the amount most recently
provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, ratably, seventh,
to deposit in the U.S. LC Collateral Account, the Canadian LC Collateral
Account, and the European LC Collateral Account cash (as provided in Section
2.06(k)) collateral equal to 105% of the sum of the U.S. LC Exposure, the sum of
the Canadian LC Exposure, and the sum of the European LC Exposure, respectively,
to be held as cash collateral for the Secured Obligations (in the case of
amounts on deposit in the U.S. LC Collateral Account) and the International
Secured Obligations (in the case of amounts on deposit in the Canadian LC
Collateral Account or the European LC Collateral Account), as the case may be,
eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services
Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations constituting Secured Obligations
(other than Qualified Secured Swap Agreement Obligations) up to and including
the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.22, and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to
any Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts
received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap
Obligation of such Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative,
or unless a Default is in existence, no Agent nor any Lender shall apply any
payment which it receives to any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan of a
Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable
thereto or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no
outstanding ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, or Overnight LIBO Loans and,
in any such event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in
accordance with Section 2.16. Each applicable Agent and the Lenders shall have
the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all
such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any such application of proceeds from
Collateral of a U.S. Loan Party shall be made solely to U.S. Secured
Obligations, until all U.S. Secured Obligations of all types are paid in full,
prior to application to any International Secured Obligations and (ii) any such
application of proceeds from Collateral securing solely the International
Secured Obligations shall be made solely in respect of International Secured
Obligations.

(c)At the election of the applicable Agent, all payments of principal, interest,
LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without
limitation, all reimbursement for fees, costs and expenses pursuant to Section
9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the
proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the
Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided
in this Section 2.18 or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower
maintained with any Agent. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize (i) each
applicable Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of
principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due
under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall
constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a
Borrowing may only constitute a Protective

124

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

Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section
9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested
pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) each applicable
Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with such Agent
for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or
any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

(d)If, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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 resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any
other similarly situated Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary
so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements;
provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any
portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this clause shall not be
construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this clause shall apply). Each Borrower consents
to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

125

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

(f)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
hereunder, then each applicable Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding
any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by
such Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold
any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application
to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of
amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in such order as may be
determined by the applicable Agent in its discretion.

(g)It is expected that the Administrative Agent will provide the Borrowers with
account statements or invoices with respect to any of the Secured Obligations
(the “Statements”) on a quarterly basis. The failure of the Administrative Agent
to provide Statements shall not be a default by the Administrative Agent, and if
such Statements are provided, they will be solely for the Borrowers’
convenience. Statements may contain estimates of the amounts owed during the
relevant billing period, whether of principal, interest, fees or other Secured
Obligations. If the Borrowers pay the full amount indicated on a Statement on or
before the due date indicated on such Statement, the Borrowers shall not be in
default of payment with respect to the billing period indicated on such
Statement; provided, that acceptance by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of
the Lenders, of any payment that is less than the total amount actually due at
that time (including but not limited to any past due amounts) shall not
constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to
receive payment in full at another time.
Section 2.19    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if
the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, Issuing
Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank
pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in
the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender or Issuing Bank, and provided, that if in respect of Tranche C Revolving
Loans or European Letters of Credit extended to or on behalf of any French
Borrower, such lending office shall be a French Qualifying Lender or French
Qualifying Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

(b)If (1) any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15,
(2) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender,
Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, (3) any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, or (4) any Tranche C Revolving Lender at any time ceases to be a French
Qualifying Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort,
upon notice to such Lender or

126

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

Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or Issuing Bank
to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the
restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than
its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) 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 Borrowers shall have received the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
unrea-sonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case
of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section
2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment
will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments in the future. No
Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any such assignment and
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or Issuing
Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply.
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 Revolving
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b)such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which
voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section
9.02(b)) and the Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting
Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the
Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder;

(c)if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting
Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with
their respective Applicable Percentages but only (x) to the extent that the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such
reallocation (and, unless the Borrower Representative shall have otherwise
notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to
have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time)
and (y) to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting
Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its
Revolving Commitment;

127

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

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following
notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s
Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the
applicable Issuing Bank, 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 2.06(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)if the Borrowers cash collateralize 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 2.12(b) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(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 Sections
2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(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 the Issuing Bank or any Lender
hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect
to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (to the extent not reallocated or cash
collateralized) shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is
reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be
required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to
issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the
related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the
non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers
in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such
newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be
allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section
2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or Bail-In Action with respect to the Parent of any
Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall
continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank 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 Issuing Bank shall not be
required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing
Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender,
satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk in respect of such Lender
hereunder.

128

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

In the event that the applicable Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the
Swingline Lenders agree 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 Revolving Commitment and on the date of such
readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other
Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the applicable Agent shall determine may
be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage.
Section 2.21    Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is
applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, any Agent, any
Issuing Bank, or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such
payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of
proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void
or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust
funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to
be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in
full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Agent,
such Issuing Bank, or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be
and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been
taken by any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender in reliance upon such
payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.22    Banking Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate
thereof (other than JPMCB) (i) providing Banking Services for any Loan Party
shall deliver to the applicable Agent prompt written notice (executed by such
Lender or Affiliate and the Borrower Representative) setting forth the aggregate
amount of all Banking Services Obligations of such Loan Party to such Lender or
Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent) and (ii) having
Swap Agreements with any Loan Party shall deliver to the applicable Agent
written notice (executed by such Lender or Affiliate and the Borrower
Representative) setting forth the aggregate amount of all Swap Agreement
Obligations of such Loan Party to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or
unmatured, absolute or contingent), which notices shall otherwise be consistent
with, and delivered within the time period required by, the definition of
Canadian Secured Obligation, European Secured Obligations, or U.S. Secured
Obligations, as applicable. In furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender
or Affiliate thereof shall furnish the applicable Agent, from time to time after
a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, but in any event not
less than monthly, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of
such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations. The most
recent information provided to the applicable Agent shall be used in determining
the amounts to be applied in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and/or
Swap Agreement Obligations pursuant to Section 2.18(b) and which tier of the
waterfall, contained in Section 2.18(b), such Banking Services Obligations
and/or Swap Agreement Obligations will be placed. No Agent accepts any
responsibility and shall have no liability for (i) at any time determining which
Lenders or Affiliates hold, or which Swap Agreement Obligations constitute,
Secured Obligations or Qualified Secured Swap Agreement Obligations or (ii) the
calculation of the exposure owing by the Loan Parties under any such Qualified
Secured Swap Agreements or other Swap Agreement Obligations, and shall be
entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable counterparty and the applicable
Loan Party party to such agreement for the calculation thereof.

129

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

Section 2.23    Excess Resulting From Exchange Rate Change. (a) With respect to
the Tranche B Commitment and the Tranche C Commitment, if at any time following
one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar, the Euro,
or Sterling against the Dollar, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with
the Revolving Exposure Limitations, or any other limitations hereunder based in
Dollars, (i) if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or
equal to $1,000,000, within two Business Days of notice thereof from the
applicable Agent, (ii) if such excess is an aggregate amount that is less than
$1,000,000 and such excess continues to exist in an aggregate amount less than
$1,000,000 for at least five Business Days, within two Business Days of notice
thereof from the applicable Agent, or (iii) if any Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Borrowers shall immediately (A) make the necessary
payments or repayments to reduce the applicable Canadian Obligations or European
Obligations, as the case may be, to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess
or (B) in the case of the Canadian Borrower, maintain or cause to be maintained
with the Administrative Agent, and in the case of a European Borrower, maintain
or cause to be maintained with the European Administrative Agent (in each case
for the benefit of the International Secured Parties), deposits as continuing
collateral security for the International Secured Obligations in an amount equal
to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in
such form and upon such terms as are acceptable to the applicable Agent, as the
case may be. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the
applicable Agent shall, weekly or more frequently in the sole discretion of such
Agent, make the necessary exchange rate calculations to determine whether any
such excess exists on such date and advise the Borrowers if such excess exists.
(b)If the U.S. Borrower provides cash collateral to secure obligations related
to U.S. Letters of Credit that are denominated in Canadian Dollars and, as a
result of fluctuations in the applicable exchange rate between Dollars and the
Canadian Dollar, the Dollar Amount of cash collateral held by the Administrative
Agent is less than the specified amount of cash collateral so required to be
maintained by the U.S. Borrower the U.S. Borrower shall, promptly following a
request therefor by the Administrative Agent, deposit in the LC Collateral
Account an additional Dollar Amount of cash collateral equal to such shortfall
to be held as cash collateral in accordance with Section 2.06(k).

Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and
authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the
failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in,
and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is
required (to the extent that such concepts are applicable in the relevant
jurisdiction).
Section 3.02    Authorization; Enforceability and Immunity. (a) The Transactions

binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, examinership,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law.
(b)No Foreign Loan Party, nor any of its property or assets has any immunity
from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through
service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution,
execution or otherwise) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Foreign
Loan Party is organized in respect of its obligations under the Loan Documents
or to which it or its property or assets is subject.

(c)The Loan Documents to which each Foreign Loan Party is a party are in proper
legal form under the laws of the jurisdiction in which each such Foreign Loan

the official language of the relevant jurisdiction which may be done at the time
of enforcement or admission, as applicable). Subject to the French Perfection
Requirements and the Spanish Perfection Requirements, it is not necessary to
ensure the legality, validity, enforceability, priority or admissibility in
evidence of the Loan Documents to which any Foreign Loan Party is a party that
any such Loan Documents be filed, registered or recorded with, or executed or
notarized before, any court or other authority in the jurisdiction in which any
such Foreign Loan Party is organized or that any registration charge or stamp or

not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any
other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained
or made and are in full force and effect and except for filings necessary to
perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any
material Requirement of Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or the organizational or governing documents of the Loan Parties
and their Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any
material indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or
any of its Subsidiaries or the assets of any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be
made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and (d) will not result in
the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of
its Subsidiaries, except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents and
Permitted Liens.
Section 3.04    Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) Holdings
has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheet and
consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows (i) as of and for
each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016, reported on by
Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for
each fiscal quarter ended after December 31, 2016 through the date of this
Agreement, certi-fied by a Financial Officer of Holdings. Each Borrower has

consolidating statements of operations, equity and cash flows (i) as of and for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and (ii) as of and for the most recent
fiscal quarter, certi-fied by a Financial Officer of Holdings. In each case,
such financial state-ments present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Holdings and its
consolidated Subsidiaries, or of such Borrowers, as applicable, as of such dates
and for such periods in accordance with GAAP or IFRS, as applicable, subject to
normal year-end audit adjustments (all of which, when taken as a whole, would
not be materially adverse) and the absence of footnotes in the case of quarterly
financial statements referred to above, and subject also to certain accounting
matters that have been disclosed prior to October 23, 2013 in Holdings’ public
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including with regard to
potential theft of certain inventory in Brazil.
(b)No event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably
be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since December 31, 2016.
Section 3.05    Properties. (a) As of the date of this Agreement, Schedule 3.05
sets forth the address or description of each parcel of real property that is
owned or leased by each Loan Party which, in the case of real property owned by
a Loan Party, has a fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower)
in excess of $1,000,000, and in the case of real property leased by a Loan Party
contains tangible Collateral with an aggregate fair market value (as reasonably
determined by the Borrower) in excess of $1,000,000. Each of such leases and
subleases is valid and enforceable against the Loan Parties party thereto and,
to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, each other party thereto, in each case in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, examinership, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’

the Loan Parties, other party thereto, to any

132

such lease or sublease exists. Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries has
good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its real
and personal property, free of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.
(b)Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all
material trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents, industrial designs and
other intellectual property necessary to its business as currently conducted,
and the use thereof by each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries does not infringe in
any material respect upon the rights of any other Person, and, except as set
forth on Schedule 3.05, each Loan Party’s rights thereto are not subject to any
licensing agreement or similar arrangement. A correct and complete list of all
material trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual
property, as of the date of this Agreement, is set forth on Schedule 3.05.
Section 3.06    Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions,
suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority
pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or
affecting any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a
reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely
determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii)
that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.
(b)Except for the Disclosed Matters (i) no Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental
Liability or knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability that in either
case could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result
in a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) and except with respect to any other
matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected
to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party nor any of its
Subsidiaries (1) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain,
maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any
Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability.

(c)Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of
the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in,
or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.07    Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Loan Party and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it or
its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon
it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.
Section 3.08    Investment Company Status. No Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and no European Loan Party has
registered as or conducts its business or has taken any action which might cause
it to be registered for the purposes of the European Communities (Markets in
Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007.

133

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

Section 3.09    Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or
caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and
has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except
(a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on
its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that
the failure to do so could not be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No Tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with
respect to any such Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has withheld all
employee withholdings and has made all employer contributions required to be
withheld and made by it pursuant to applicable law on account of the Canada and
Quebec pension plans, employment insurance and employee income taxes.
Section 3.10    Pension Plans.
(a)ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that,
when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is
reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit
obligations under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes
of Accounting Standards Codification No. 715) did not, as of the date of the
most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than
$100,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan, and the
present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension
Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent
financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $200,000,000
the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans. As of
the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the
actuarial report is available, the potential liability of each Loan Party and
its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal
from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when
aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all
Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e)
of ERISA could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Each Loan Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates
have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each
Multiemployer Plan and are not in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of
ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan, except for
non-compliance which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

(b)Canadian Pension Plans and Canadian Benefit Plans. Schedule 3.10 lists all
Canadian Benefit Plans and Canadian Pension Plans as of the Effective Date
maintained or contributed to by the Loan Parties and their Canadian Subsidiaries
or in respect of which they have any liability. The Canadian Pension Plans are
duly registered under the ITA and all other Applicable Pension Laws which
require registration. Each Canadian Loan Party and each of its Canadian
Subsidiaries has complied with and performed all of its obligations under and in
respect of the Canadian Pension Plans and Canadian Benefit Plans under the terms
thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable laws (including any
fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations), except where any
non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to

134

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

result in a Material Adverse Effect. All employer and employee payments,
contributions or premiums to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Canadian
Pension Plan or Canadian Benefit Plan have been paid in a timely fashion in
accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreement and all applicable
laws. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, there have been no improper
withdrawals or applications of assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the
Canadian Benefit Plans. No promises of benefit improvements under the Canadian
Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans have been made except where such
improvement could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
The pension fund under each Canadian Pension Plan is exempt from the payment of
any income tax and there are no taxes, penalties or interest owing in respect of
any such pension fund. All material reports and disclosures relating to the
Canadian Pension Plans required by such plans and any Requirement of Law to be
filed or distributed have been filed or distributed, except where any
non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. No facts or circumstances have occurred or exist that could result, or
be reasonably anticipated to result, in the termination in full of any Canadian
Pension Plan by any Governmental Authority under Applicable Pension Laws. Except
as set forth on Schedule 3.10, there are no outstanding disputes concerning the
assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans, except
claims for benefits in the normal course. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10,
the most recent actuarial valuations filed under Applicable Pension Laws
indicated that each of the Canadian Pension Plans is fully funded on both a
going concern and on a solvency basis. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, no
material changes have occurred since the date of such actuarial valuation
reports which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the
conclusions of the actuary concerning the funding of any Canadian Pension Plan.

(c)Foreign Pension Plans. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result,
individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect: (i) all employer
and employee contributions (including insurance premiums) required from any Loan
Party or any of its Affiliates by applicable law or by the terms of any Foreign
Pension Plan (including any policy held thereunder) have been made, or, if
applicable, accrued in accordance with normal accounting practices; (ii) the
present value of the aggregate accumulated benefit obligations of all Foreign
Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund such Foreign Pension
Plans) with respect to all current and former participants did not, as of the
last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of
the assets of all such Foreign Benefits Plans; (iii) each Foreign Pension Plan
that is required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in
good standing with applicable regulatory authorities; and (iv) each such Foreign
Pension Plan is in compliance (A) with all material provisions of applicable law
and all material applicable regulations and regulatory requirements (whether
discretionary or otherwise) and published interpretations thereunder with
respect to such Foreign Pension Plan and (B) with the terms of such Foreign
Pension Plan.

135

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

Section 3.11    Disclosure. Each Borrower and Holdings have disclosed to the
Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which
it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it,
that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements,
certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document (as modified or supplemented by other

regarding such non-completion, such period shall be extended until such time
that the Administrative Agent shall have received written confirmation from such
bank (or banks) that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance
compliance have been completed by such bank (or banks) (such written
confirmation not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

(k)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (except eligibility
criteria) or any other Loan Document (including this Section 5.14), each Agent
may waive or forego any Collateral requirement hereunder if the costs that would
be incurred in fulfilling such requirement (including taking into account Tax
consequences and applicable Requirements of Law) are excessive in relation to
the benefits afforded thereby, as determined by such Agent in its sole
discretion.

Administrative Agent shall have the right to give notice to such Account Debtors
if the applicable European Security Agreement so provides and (B) in any event,

Section 5.16    European Loan Party Cash Management. Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including pursuant to
Section 2.10(b)), each European Loan Party will ensure that all cash collections
of such Persons are swept or otherwise deposited (whether directly or
indirectly) into Collection Deposit Accounts (which shall, from and after the
Deposit Account Transition Date, as the same may be extended pursuant to Section
5.13, only contain such cash collections of such Persons), in a manner that is
satisfactory to the Agents. From and after the Deposit Account Transition Date,
each European Loan Party will provide to the European Administrative Agent
promptly upon the European Administrative Agent’s request, a Deposit Account
Control Agreement in favor of the European Administrative satisfactory to the
Agents duly executed on behalf of each financial institution holding a deposit

until the Deposit Account Transition Date, the aggregate balance in such deposit
accounts that are not European Excluded Accounts and that are not subject to a
Deposit Account Control Agreement shall be limited to $5,000,000 (and any
amounts in excess thereof shall be transferred on a daily basis to deposit
accounts subject to Deposit Account Control Agreements). If a Cash Management
Period is in effect, all amounts deposited in the European Collection Accounts
shall be deemed received by the European Administrative Agent in accordance with
Section 2.18 and shall, after having been credited to such European Collection
Account, be applied (and allocated) by the European Administrative Agent in

Deposit Account, each European Loan Party shall, unless otherwise agreed by the
European Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, cause each bank or
financial institution in which it seeks to open a Collection Deposit Account or

the European Administrative Agent.
Section 5.17    Financial Assistance. Each European Loan Party and its
Subsidiaries shall comply in all respects with applicable legislation governing
financial assistance and/or capital maintenance, including articles 143.2 and
150 of Spanish Capital Companies Act (Royal Decree Law 1/2010, of 2 July)

and/or, in respect of any Spanish Guarantor which is a Sociedad Limitada, the
shares of any company which is a member of the Group (as defined in Article 42
of the Spanish Commercial Code), or any other amounts to the extent that
guaranteeing amounts would constitute financial assistance), Article L.225-216
of the French Commercial Code, and ss 30 of Germany’s Limited Liability Company
Act (GmbHG) or s 57 of Germany’s Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), in each
case as amended, or any equivalent and applicable provisions under the laws of
the jurisdiction of organization of each European Loan Party, including in
relation to the execution of the Collateral Documents of each European Loan
Party and payments of amounts due under this Agreement.

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

Section 5.18    Spanish “Pagarés” (Promissory Notes). The Spanish Borrower
undertakes to comply at all times with the following obligations in relation to
any “pagaré” that any of their Account Debtors may deliver them as payment
instruments: (i) to keep all “pagarés” at a separate location in their premises
until the date in which such “pagarés” need to be presented for collection, in a
specific locked box marked with the reference “JPM Credit Agreement” at their
principal office, the exact location of which will be notified at all times to
the European Administrative Agent; (ii) to permit at all times during a Cash
Management Period the European Administrative Agent immediate access to such
“pagarés” and the location in which they are kept, ready for inspection upon
request by it; (iii) to prevent the access by any third parties to such locked
box other than the European Administrative Agent, and other than those employees
of the Spanish Borrower insofar as necessary to ensure that the “pagarés” are
duly presented for collection at the date of payment set forth in such “pagaré”;
(iv) to only proceed to collect such “pagarés” through the European
Administrative Agent and the bank accounts opened by the Spanish Borrower with
such entity, ensuring that each such “pagaré” has been and will be exclusively
cashed into one of those bank accounts opened by each of the Spanish Borrower
with the European Administrative Agent, or such other bank account(s) of the
Spanish Borrower opened with other financial entities as the European
Administrative Agent may agree at its sole discretion upon request of the
Spanish Borrower; (v) to instruct all of its Account Debtors that issue such
“pagarés” from now on to do so with the specific mention “not to the order” (“no
a la orden”), so that they cannot be endorsed to any third party; and (vi) upon
occurrence of a Cash Management Period, to immediately send the relevant locked
box in which “pagarés” are kept and any other “pagaré” received during such
period to the European Administrative Agent for its custody and collection, for
as long as the Cash Management Period is continuing. In addition to the above,
the Spanish Borrower hereby authorizes the European Administrative Agent and its
designees, and grants them full powers of attorney, upon occurrence of a Cash
Management Period, to take in such Spanish Borrower's name and on their behalf
any and all steps necessary or desirable, in the judgment of the European
Administrative Agent or its designees, to collect all amounts due under any and
all of their “pagarés”, including, without limitation, endorsing (if possible)
such “pagarés” to the European Administrative Agent, and enforcing such
“pagarés” and the related contracts thereto.

violation of any applicable Sanctions by any party to this Agreement.

place designed to prevent

183

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

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS
Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints each of
the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent as its agent and
authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of
the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such
Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the U.S., each Lender and each Issuing
Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative
Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Collateral Document
governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
behalf. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and the Lenders
(including each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank), and the Loan Parties
shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It
is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in
any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to the
Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of
market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.
For the purposes of holding any security granted by the Borrowers or any other
Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, each Secured Party
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as
the hypothecary representative (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the
“Hypothecary Representative”) of the Secured Parties as contemplated under
Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to take and to hold
on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers
and duties that are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under any
hypothec. The Hypothecary Representative shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive
right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically
restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to it pursuant to
any hypothec, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be
subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent
mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with
respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured
Parties, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or
duties under any hypothec or pledge on such terms and conditions as it may
determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by
its execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to
and confirmed the Administrative Agent as the hypothecary representative as
aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions
taken by the Hypothecary Representative in such capacity. The substitution of
the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall
also constitute the substitution of the Hypothecary Representative. To the
extent necessary or useful, the parties hereby waive the application of Section
32 of the Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Québec), and of
Articles 1310 and 2147 of the Civil Code of Québec.  The foregoing is without
prejudice for any appointment by a Secured Party of a fondé de pouvoir of the
Secured Parties contained in the Existing Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding
Section 9.09 hereof, this second paragraph of Article VIII shall be governed by,
and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Québec.

184

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

Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though
it were not an Agent, and each such bank and its Affili-ates may accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan
Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it
were not an Agent hereunder.
No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no
Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any
duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers,
except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan
Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except
as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to
disclose, and nor shall any Agent be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by any bank serving as an Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge
of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by
the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in
connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan
Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any
Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation,
perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the
Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or
elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to such Agent.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument,
document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made
to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants or experts.
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and
any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights
and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions
of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and

185

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

shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as each Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in
this paragraph, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to
appoint a successor (which shall, in the case of the European Administrative
Agent, be an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent that is a French Qualifying
Lender acting through an office in the United Kingdom). 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
resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the
Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an
Affiliate of any such commercial bank (which shall, in the case of the European
Administrative Agent, be an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent that is a
French Qualifying Lender acting through an office in the United Kingdom). Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the
Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.
After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article, Section
2.17(d) and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting
as Agent. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent
irrevocably appoints the European Administrative Agent to act as security
trustee under and in connection with each Collateral Document entered into by
any Loan Party (other than any such Collateral Document governed by the law of
the United States or Canada). Each of the Issuing Banks and Lenders authorizes
the European Administrative Agent to exercise the rights specifically given to
the European Administrative Agent under or in respect of the Collateral
Documents, together with any rights incidental thereto.
Each Tranche C Revolving Lender and each European Issuing Bank (and, as
applicable, each Tranche B Revolving Lender and each Canadian Issuing Bank)
hereby irrevocably (a) appoints and empowers the European Administrative Agent
to constitute, register, manage and enforce on its behalf any security interest
created by or pursuant to the Spanish Security Agreement or any other Collateral
Document that is governed by the laws of Spain, and to exercise in its name and
on its behalf any and all rights in favor of such International Secured Parties
(which shall include, without limitation, the right to send any notice and make
any declaration thereunder, the right to enforce security interests and to make
any calculation in respect thereof and the right to release security interests
in the circumstances set forth therein and in this Agreement); (b) appoints the
European Administrative Agent to act as its agent in connection with the French
Security Agreement in accordance with Article 2328-1 of the French Civil Code,
as amended, and be the beneficiary of the French Security Agreement on behalf
and in the name of such International Secured Parties; (c) grants to the
European Administrative Agent a power of attorney (Vollmacht) in respect of any
Collateral Document governed by the laws of Germany (i) to execute for and on
behalf of each of them any such Collateral Document and related notices, and to
do and perform all acts it deems necessary or desirable to create valid rights
(including rights in rem (dingliche Rechte)) under any such Collateral Document
or any other document that determines how security held pursuant thereto is to
be held and

186

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

administered; and (ii) to appoint for and on behalf of each of them any other
Person as its representative in relation to any such Collateral Document,
empowered to exercise all rights set forth in such Collateral Document
(including, without limitation, the right to give notices, to make declarations,
to enforce rights in respect of security, to make calculations and to release
security as provided therein); (d) releases the European Administrative Agent
from the restrictions of section 181 of Germany’s Civil Code (BGB), as amended,
and from the corresponding provisions set forth in other applicable law,
including but not limited to, restrictions with respect to the exercise of the
power of attorney (Vollmacht) granted pursuant to clause (c) above; (e) agrees
that the European Administrative Agent also acts for others and for itself in
relation to each Collateral Document governed by the laws of Germany and to any
action (including, without limitation, actions taken with respect to legal
proceedings in Germany) that the European Administrative Agent may take from
time to time with connection with any Collateral Document governed by the laws
of Germany; (f) authorizes the European Administrative Agent to appoint other
Persons with substitute powers to act for and on its behalf with respect to each
Collateral Document governed by the laws of Germany (and to exempt such persons
from the restrictions of section 181 of Germany’s Civil Code (BGB), as amended,
and from the corresponding provisions set forth in other applicable law), in
each case to the extent legally possible; and (g) appoints the European
Administrative Agent as trustee (Treuhänder) and administrator for the purpose
of accepting and administering the Collateral Documents governed by the law of
Germany for and on behalf of the other International Secured Parties (and the
European Administrative Agent hereby accepts such appointment on the terms and
subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement). Each of the Tranche C
Revolving Lenders and the European Issuing Banks (and, as applicable, each of
the Tranche B Revolving Lenders and the Canadian Issuing Banks) which is barred
by its constitutional documents or by-laws from granting such exemption shall
notify the European Administrative Agent accordingly. Each Tranche C Revolving
Lender and each European Issuing Bank (and, as applicable, each Tranche B
Revolving Lender and each Canadian Issuing Bank) ratifies and approves all acts
and declarations previously done by the European Administrative Agent on such
its behalf (including, for the avoidance of doubt the declarations made by the
European Administrative Agent as representative without power of attorney
(Vertreter ohne Vertretungsmacht) in relation to the creation of any pledge
(Pfandrecht) on behalf and for the benefit of any secured party as future
pledgee or otherwise).
Notwithstanding with the obligations assumed by each Tranche C Revolving Lender
and European Issuing Bank (and, as applicable, each Tranche B Revolving Lender
and each Canadian Issuing Bank) pursuant to paragraph above, each such Person
undertakes to grant as many powers of attorney as Spanish laws and regulations
may require for the purposes of appointing the European Administrative Agent as
its representative for granting, registration, amendment and enforcement
purposes in relation to any Spanish Security Agreement or any Collateral
Document governed by the laws of Spain. Additionally, if required by law or
needed for enforcement or registration purposes, each such Person undertakes to
comply with the obligation to obtain a Spanish Tax Identification number
(N.I.F.) in Spain before the relevant Spanish Tax Authorities.
The European Administrative Agent shall: (a) in the case of non-accessory (nicht
akzessorische) security rights created under the Collateral Documents governed
by the law of Germany, hold and administer and, as the case may be, enforce such
Collateral in its own name, but for the account of the International Secured
Parties; and (b) in the case of accessory (akzessorische) security rights
created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments under

187

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

the Collateral Documents governed by the law of Germany, administer and, as the
case may be, enforce such Collateral in the name and for and on behalf of the
International Secured Parties or in its own name, but in each case for the
account of the International Secured Parties and to accept as their
representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory
security right granted in favor of such European Revolving Lender or European
Issuing Bank in connection with the Loan Documents under German law and to agree
to and execute on its behalf as their representative (Stellvertreter) any
amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any German Security Agreement
which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische
Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such security.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent 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 any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents
and informa-tion as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to
make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report
prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) (i) no Agent makes any
representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or
accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any
inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) no Agent
shall be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are
not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any
field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan
Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as
well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Agents
undertake no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it
will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share
the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted
pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other
indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect,
and indemnify, defend, and hold each Agent and any such other Person preparing a
Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages,
costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred
by such Agent or such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third
parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying
Lender.
The Joint Lead Arrangers shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability,
responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all
Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have
or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender
hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in
their respective capacities as Joint Lead Arrangers, as applicable, as it makes
with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.
The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for
the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of
the Agents) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Agents shall have the
exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal
of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become
due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

188

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

In its capacity, each of the Administrative Agent and the European
Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the
meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform
Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the
European Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to
which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each
Lender agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent and the
European Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to
realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being
understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by
the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent, as applicable,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Collateral
Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person
as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, each of the Administrative
Agent and the European Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby
granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured
Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien
on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent or the European
Administrative Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Secured Parties.
JPMCB has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements
placed on federally regulated lenders under the National Flood Insurance Reform
Act of 1994 and related legislation (the “Flood Laws”). JPMCB, as administrative
agent or collateral agent on a syndicated facility, will post on the applicable
electronic platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender in the syndicate)
documents that it receives in connection with the Flood Laws. However, JPMCB
reminds each Lender and Participant in the facility that, pursuant to the Flood
Laws, each federally regulated Lender (whether acting as a Lender or Participant
in the facility) is responsible for assuring its own compliance with the flood
insurance requirements.
Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that (x) it has received and reviewed
the U.S. Reaffirmation Agreement, (y) it consents to the terms thereof,
including any amendments to the U.S. Security Agreement contained therein, and
agrees to be bound thereby and directs the Administrative Agent to execute the
U.S. Reaffirmation Agreement.
Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that (x) it has received and reviewed
the Canadian Reaffirmation Agreement, (y) it consents to the terms thereof,
including any amendments to the Canadian Security Agreement contained therein,
and agrees to be bound thereby and directs the Administrative Agent to execute
the Canadian Reaffirmation Agreement.

(v)if to any other Lender or any Issuing Bank, to it at its address or facsimile
number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or in any other writing
delivered by such Person to the Administrative Agent.

All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier
service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been
given when received or (ii) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given
when sent, provided that if not given during normal business hours for the
recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the
next Business Day for the recipient.
(b)Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or
furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and internet or
intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent;
provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II or
to compliance and no Default certificates delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c)
unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent or the European
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the applicable Lender; provided
further that notices to the European Administrative Agent must be delivered by
facsimile. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative (on behalf of
the Loan Parties) 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. All such notices and other
communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by
the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), provided that if not given during the normal business
hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have
been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the

as described in the foregoing clause (b)(i) of notification that such notice or

192

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

(c)Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and
other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(d)Electronic Systems.

(i)Each Loan Party agrees that the Agents may, but shall not be obligated to,
make Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Bank and the
other Lenders by posting the Communications on a Platform.

(ii)Any Electronic System used by the Agents is provided “as is” and “as
available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of
such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions
in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory,
including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code
defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any
Electronic System. In no event shall the Agents or any of their Related Parties
(collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers or the
other Loan Parties, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity
for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or
consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or
otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or any Agent’s

means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or
other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by any
Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications
pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.
Section 9.02    Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under
any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and
under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights
or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any
Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) of this
Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effec-tive 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, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default at the time.

193

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

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof
or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this
Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan
Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the
applicable Agent or Agents that are parties thereto, and the Loan Party or Loan
Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Revolving Commitment of
any Lender without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender
that is a Defaulting Lender), (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any
Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or
forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of
each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly
affected thereby, (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any
interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
(including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected
thereby, (D) change Section 2.10(c), Section 2.18(b) or (d), or the third
sentence of Section 2.18(a), in a manner that would alter the manner in which
payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender (including any
such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (E) increase the advance rates set
forth in the definition of “U.S. Borrowing Base”, “Canadian Borrowing Base”,
“French Borrowing Base”, “German Borrowing Base”, “Spanish Borrowing Base”, or
“Additional European Borrower Borrowing Base” without the written consent of
each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (F) modify
eligibility criteria, as such eligibility criteria are in effect on the
Effective Date (including adding new categories of eligible assets or
eliminating any category of the reserves), in any manner that has the effect of
increasing the amounts available to be borrowed hereunder without the written
consent of the Supermajority Lenders; (G) (1) change any of the provisions of
this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders”
or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage
of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any
rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a
Defaulting Lender) or (2) change any provision of any Loan Document requiring
the Joint Lead Arrangers to make a determination or grant any consent thereunder
or change the definition of “Joint Lead Arrangers” without the written consent
of each Joint Lead Arranger, (H) change Section 2.20, without the consent of
each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (I) release any Loan Guarantor
from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted
herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each
Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), or (J) except as provided in clause
(c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially
all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other than
any Defaulting Lender); provided further that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, any Issuing Bank
or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such
Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being
understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of each
Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender); provided, further, that no

194

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

such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.06 or any
letter of credit application and any bilateral agreement between the Borrower
Representative and the Issuing Bank regarding the Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank
Sublimit or the respective rights and obligations between the Borrower and the
Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank,
respectively. The Administrative Agent may also amend the Revolving Commitment
Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c)The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each Agent, at its option and in its
sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to such Agent by the Loan Parties
on any Collateral (i) upon the Payment in Full of all of Secured Obligations,
and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner
satisfactory to each affected Lender , (ii) constituting property being sold or
disposed of (including Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary that ceases to
be First Tier Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to a Permitted Reorganization) if the
Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to such Agent that the sale or
disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and each
Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry),
and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100%
of the Equity Interest of a Subsidiary, each Agent is authorized to release any
Loan Guaranty provided by such Subsidiary, (iii) constituting property leased to
a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction
permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other
disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of
the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, no Agent will release any Liens on Collateral without the
prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (or each Lender, to the
extent required by clause (J) of Section 9.02(b)); provided that, the Agents may
in their discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not
in excess of 5.0% of the sum of the total Revolving Commitments at such time
during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required
Lenders (or each Lender, to the extent required by clause (J) of Section
9.02(b)). Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair
the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon
(or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the
Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to
constitute part of the Collateral.

(d)If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring
the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of
the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is
not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being
referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect
to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided
that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which
is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall
agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due
to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to
become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all
obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to
comply with the requirements of clause (b) of

195

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

Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in
same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other
amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers
hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation
payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2)
an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender
on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such
Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the
replacement Lender.

(e)Without the consent of any other person, the applicable Loan Party or Parties
and the Administrative Agent and/or European Administrative Agent may (in its or
their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan
Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into
any new agreement or instrument (including amendments or waivers with respect to
provisions hereof or thereof, or new agreements or instruments, regarding cash
management and the administration thereof), to (i) effect the granting,
perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any
Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, (ii) as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any
security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so
that the security interests therein comply with applicable law, rules, or
regulations, or any requirement of any Governmental Authority, (iii) to cure any
ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency with this Agreement (other
than, solely in the case of clause (iii), amendments or waivers to provisions in
such Collateral Documents that are required to create or perfect the security
interests created thereby or cause such Collateral Document or security interest
to be enforceable), (iv) in connection with, or to effectuate, the Permitted
Reorganization, or (v) to effect the joinder of any Additional European Loan
Party to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document (including, without
limitation, the addition of such provisions that the applicable Agent may find
necessary or desirable pursuant to local law (including provisions for parallel
debt and limitations on the Loan Guaranty granted by such Additional European
Loan Parties), to effect (in addition to existing eligibility criteria)
eligibility criteria appropriate for the Borrowing Base (in the sole discretion
of the Administrative Agent) with respect to Accounts of an Additional European
Borrower (including documentation with respect to the transfer of Accounts among
Loan Parties), or otherwise necessary or appropriate, in the sole discretion of
the Administrative Agent, with respect to such joinder).
Section 9.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay
(i) (x) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their
Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel
for the Agents, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including,
without limitation, via the internet or through an Electronic System) of the
credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the
Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of
the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated) and (y) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Joint Lead Arrangers and their Affiliates, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Joint Lead
Arrangers, in connection with the syndication and closing of the credit
facilities provided for herein (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred

196

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

Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the

Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with
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. Expenses being
reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section 9.03 include, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:
(i)appraisals and insurance reviews;

(ii)field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged
by a third party retained by any Agent or the internally allocated fees for each
Person employed by any Agent with respect to each field examination;

of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as
Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section
2.18(c).
(b)The U.S. Borrower (and, to the extent relating to any Canadian Loan Parties,
any Tranche B Loans, Canadian Letters of Credit, or other Canadian Secured
Obligations, any Canadian Security Agreement, or any other Canadian matters, the
Canadian Borrower; and, to the extent relating to any European Loan Parties, any
Tranche C Loans, European Letters of Credit, or other European Secured
Obligations, any European Security Agreement, or any other European matters,
each European Borrower) shall indemnify each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each
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, penalties, incremental Taxes, liabilities
and related expenses,

197

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

including the 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 the Loan Documents or
any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties
hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the
Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or
Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by
an Issuing Bank 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 any

Borrowers to deliver to the applicable Agent the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by the Borrowers
for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17, or (v) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any
Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section
9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that
represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid
by it to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender under clause (a) or
(b) of this Section 9.03, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent,
such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage,
penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or

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

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
an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Loan Party
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 any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and
(ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section 9.04. To the extent a transfer

under the French Security Agreement shall be preserved and maintained for the
benefit of the European Administrative Agent, the new Lender and the remaining
International Secured Parties pursuant to Articles 1334 et seq. of the French
Civil Code. The new Lender may, in case of an assignment of rights by an
existing Lender hereunder, if it considers it necessary to make such transfer
effective as against any French Loan Party, arrange for the assignment to be
notified to such French Loan Party in accordance with Article 1324 of the French
Civil Code. 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 an Issuing
Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in
clause (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.
(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender

a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Revolving Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit 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 Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the Borrower
Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of
a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, any other assignee; provided, further, that the Borrower
Representative shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment if it has not
objected in writing within ten Business Days of receiving notice of such
assignment; and

(B)the Administrative Agent.

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

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an

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

199

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

assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower
Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing;

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment (I) if in respect of
the U.S. Facility, of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations with respect to the U.S. Facility, (II) if in respect of the
Tranche B Facility, of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations with respect to the Tranche B Facility and (III) if in respect
of the European Facility, of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations with respect to the European Facility;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an (x) Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent
applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference
pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to
the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and
recordation fee of $3,500;

(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
other Loan Parties 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; and

(E)any assignee (other than an Approved Fund) shall be a French Qualifying
Lender in the case of an assignment of Tranche C Commitments, or a French
Qualifying Issuing Bank in the case of an assignment of European LC Exposure.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and
“Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged
in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions
of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or
managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an
Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender; provided that, if
such Person is not a French Qualifying Lender, such Person shall not be required
to extend any Tranche C Loan to French Borrower and any transfer of the
International Revolving Commitment thereto shall be deemed not to have occurred
in France.

200

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

“Ineligible Institution” means a (a) natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or
its Parent, (c) holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and
operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof;
provided that, such holding company, investment vehicle or trust shall not
constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the
primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a
professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof,
having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial
loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its
activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business, (d) a Loan Party or
a Subsidiary or other Affiliate of a Loan Party or (e) a Person whose primary
business is the manufacture and/or distribution of wire and cable products.
(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of
this Section 9.04, 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 Sections
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04
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 clause (c) of
this Section 9.04.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrowers, 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 Revolving 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 absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any
Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

(v)Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed
by an assigning Lender and an assignee, or (y) to the extent applicable, an
agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a
Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment
and Assumption

201

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

are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless
the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written
consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 9.04, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the
assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required
to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or
9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register
unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all
accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this
Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause
(v).

(c)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, any Agent, any Issuing
Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities (a “Participant”) (provided that no such participation shall be
permitted to a Participant whose primary business is the manufacture and/or
distribution of wire and cable products) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Revolving 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 Banks 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 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
9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to
the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under
Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant (A)
agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were
an assignee under clause (b) of this Section 9.04; and (B) shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to
receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the
applicable participation.

To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender
that sells a participation shall, acting

202

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

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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion
of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any
Revolving Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to
establish that such Revolving 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.
(d)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 or other central bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not
apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no
such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such
Lender as a party hereto.

(e)In the case of Spain, if the European Administrative Agent, any of the Agents
or the assignee so requests, the document evidencing the Assignment shall be
notarized in Spain before a Spanish notary public and filled for registration
purposes before any relevant Spanish Public Registry.
Section 9.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the
certificates or other instru-ments delivered in connection with or pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been
relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
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 outstand-ing and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and
so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The
provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 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 Revolving Commitments or the
termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

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

Section 9.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
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,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to (i)
fees payable to the Agents and (ii) increases or reductions of the Issuing Bank
Sublimit of the Issuing Bank 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 telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other
electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words
of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in
electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or
the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent
and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic
Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the
Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format
without its prior written consent.
Section 9.07    Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document 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 thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
Section 9.08    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 the Borrowers
or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by
such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any
demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured.
The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the
Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided that any failure
to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any
such set-off or application under this Section 9.08. The rights of each Lender
under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a)
The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law
provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal

Federal or New York State court in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to such Loan Documents), or for recognition or enforcement of any

tried in the courts of the Province of Ontario. 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 or any other Loan
Document shall affect any right that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document against any non-French Loan Party or its properties
in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which

such action or proceeding in any such court.

the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to

(e)This Agreement and any amendment hereto or, if applicable, any Spanish
Joinder Agreement by virtue of which any new Spanish Borrower or Spanish
Guarantor becomes a Spanish Loan Party under this Agreement shall, if so
requested by the European Administrative Agent in its discretion, be formalized

which will record the amounts owed in concept of principal, ordinary interest,
default interest, fees, expenses, additional costs and any other amounts that

Administrative Agent will close and settle such Credit Administration System and
determine the final balance and issue a certificate for enforcement purposes
(the “Spanish Certification”); (ii) the European Administrative Agent may cause

contrary notwithstanding, neither any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be
obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of

Section 9.16    Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender, Issuing Bank and Agent
hereby appoints each other Lender, Issuing Bank and Agent as its agent for the
purpose of perfecting Liens in favor of any Agent to secure any of the Secured
Obligations (in each case for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, Agents and
Issuing Banks) in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any
other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender
(other than the applicable Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such
Lender shall notify the applicable Agent thereof and, promptly upon the
applicable Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the
applicable Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the
applicable Agent’s instructions.
Section 9.17    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with
all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan
under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with
applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan 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 but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section 9.17 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together
with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of
repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 9.18    Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in
any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in
which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second
Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance
with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase the
Original Currency with the Second Currency at the Spot Rate on the date two
Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Loan Party agrees
that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder
shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be
discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the
Administrative Agent receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder
in the Second Currency, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with normal
banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the
Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the
amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is
less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Loan Party
agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment
to indemnify the Administrative Agent against such loss. The term “rate of
exchange” in this Section 9.18 means the spot rate at which the Administrative
Agent, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to
purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any
premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

Issuing Bank or any Agent, in order to comply with any applicable AML
Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.
(b)If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Borrower or

such regard between such Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender and the
Administrative within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(ii)shall provide to each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender copies of all
information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to
its accuracy or completeness.

writing, each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that no Agent has
any obligation to ascertain the identity of the Borrowers or any authorized

to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any
Borrower or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

CAM Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in the Dollar Amount thereof.

required under applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes or other amounts
from payments made by it hereunder or as a result hereof, such Person shall be
entitled to withhold or deduct such amounts and pay over

212

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

such Taxes or other amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority imposing
such Tax without any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any
Lender with respect to such amounts and without any other obligation of gross up
or offset with respect thereto and there shall be no recourse whatsoever by the

purpose of this Section 9.20, having been paid to the Administrative Agent or
such Lender with respect to which such withholding or deduction was made.
Section 9.21    Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Loan Party has, or
hereafter may be entitled to claim or may acquire, for itself, any Collateral or
other assets of the Loan Parties, any immunity (whether sovereign or otherwise)
from suit, jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through
service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution
or otherwise) with respect to itself, any Collateral or any other assets of the
Loan Parties, such Loan Party hereby waives such immunity in respect of its
obligations hereunder and under any promissory notes evidencing the Loans
hereunder and any other Loan Document to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees
that the waivers set forth in this Section 9.21 shall be effective to the

to the extent necessary undertakes in advance) to pay to the European
Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount due by such German
Loan Party to any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender under this Agreement
and any other Loan Document to which it is a party (each payment undertaking
under this Section 9.22 and the obligations and liabilities resulting therefrom
being a “Parallel Debt”).

(b)Each German Loan Party and the European Administrative Agent agree and
acknowledge that the obligations of each German Loan Party under this Section
9.22 are several, separate and independent (selbständiges Schuldanerkenntnis)
from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of
each German Loan Party to any Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party (the “Corresponding
Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each German Loan Party is liable under
this Section 9.22 be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt
provided that:

(i)the Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Corresponding
Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged (other than, in each case,
contingent obligations);

213

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

(ii)the Corresponding Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Parallel
Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged;

(iii)the amount of each Parallel Debt shall at all times be equal to the amount
of the relevant Corresponding Debt; and

(iv)for the avoidance of doubt, each Parallel Debt will become due and payable
at the same time when the relevant Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable.

(c)Each Parallel Debt represents the own debt of each German Loan Party, and no
Parallel Debt constitutes any several and joint liability (gesamtschuldnerische
Haftung) of any German Loan Party, nor is any Parallel Debt subject to any debt
owed by a collective ownership (Gesamthand) of any German Loan Party.

(d)The security granted, in each case, under the German Security Agreement with
respect to the relevant Parallel Debt is granted to the European Administrative
Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of each Parallel Debt.

(e)Without limiting or affecting the European Administrative Agent’s rights
against any German Loan Party (whether under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document), each German Loan Party acknowledges that:

(i)nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall impose any obligation on
the European Administrative Agent to advance any sum to any German Loan Party;
and

(ii)for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the European
Administrative Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or
commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Lender.

(f)The parties hereto acknowledge and confirm that the provisions contained in
this Section 9.22 shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total
amount of the Obligations.

(g)Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Agreement, this
Section 9.22 shall be binding on the successors and assigns of each German Loan
Party.

(h)All monies received or recovered by the European Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts received or recovered by the European
Administrative Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to
secure any Parallel Debt shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

counterparty to each Loan Party with respect to the Loan Documents and the
transaction contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary

investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the
Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to any Loan Party with
respect thereto. Each Loan Party further acknowledges and agrees, and
acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together
with its affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in
securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment
banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any
Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to,
and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of

(including bank loans and other obligations) of, any Loan Party and other
companies with which any Loan Party may have commercial or other relationships.
With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any
Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities
and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the
holder of the rights, in its sole discretion. In addition, each Loan Party
acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that
each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity
capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other
companies in respect of which a Loan Party may have conflicting interests
regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will
use confidential information obtained from any Loan Party by virtue of the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with
such Loan Party in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of
services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such
information to other companies. Each Loan Party also acknowledges that no Credit
Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to any Loan Party, confidential information
obtained from other companies.

Guarantor, other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives
acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement
that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party,
or any other Person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under
any state or provincial law, as applicable, and shall not raise any such law as
a defense to its obligations hereunder. Each applicable Agent may, at its
election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral
securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any
Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against
any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of
such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed
Obligations have been Paid in Full, provided, that the proceeds of Collateral of
a Foreign Loan Party shall not be applied to Guaranteed Obligations of any U.S.
Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan
Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that
election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any
right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan
Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.
Section 10.05    Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right,
claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation,
contribution or indemnification, that it has against any Obligated Party, or any
collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed
all their obligations to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.
Section 10.06    Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment
of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any
Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan
Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though
the payment had not been made and whether or not the Agents, the Issuing Banks
and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the
time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts
otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to
the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the applicable Loan
Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

220

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

Section 10.07    Information. Each applicable Loan Guarantor assumes all
responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial
condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and
extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan
Guaranty, and agrees that neither any Agent, nor any Issuing Bank or Lender
shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it
regarding those circumstances or risks.
Section 10.08    Termination. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks may
continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan
Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from
any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan
Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for the applicable
Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day
after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions,
modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any
part of such Guaranteed Obligations. Nothing in this Section 10.08 shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of, or eliminate, limit, reduce or otherwise
impair any rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have in
respect of, any Default or Event of Default that shall exist under clause (p) of
Article VII hereof as a result of any such notice of termination.
Section 10.09    Taxes. Each payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made
by each Loan Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such
withholding is required by law. If any Loan Guarantor determines, in its sole
discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes,
then such Loan Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of
withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by
such Loan Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such
withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable
under this Section 10.09), the Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may
be) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been
made.
Section 10.10    Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Loan Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Loan Guarantor hereunder shall be
limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall
not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under
any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, Uniform Voidable Transaction Act or similar statute or common
law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Loan
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification
or contribution which such Loan Guarantor may have under this Loan Guaranty, any
other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.
Section 10.11    Contribution.
(a)To the extent that any Loan Guarantor shall make a payment under this Loan
Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor
Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Guarantor,
exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to
such Loan Guarantor if each Loan Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed
Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such
Loan Guarantor’s

221

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

“Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such
Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Loan
Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor
Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor
Payment and the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement, such Loan Guarantor shall be entitled to receive
contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other
Loan Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their
respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor
Payment.

(b)As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Guarantor
shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such
Loan Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Loan Guarantor (including the
maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent
liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Loan Guarantor
that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share
thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Loan Guarantors as of such
date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.

(c)This Section 10.11 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan
Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 10.11 is intended to or shall
impair the obligations of the Loan Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any
amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Loan Guaranty.

(d)The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and
indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Guarantor or Loan
Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e)The rights of the indemnifying Loan Guarantors against other Loan Guarantors
under this Section 10.11 shall be exercisable upon the Payment in Full of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.12    Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a
Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative
with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan
Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other
Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or
agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to
the contrary.

222

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

Section 10.13    French Guarantee Limitations. (a) The obligations and
liabilities of any French Guarantor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a
French Borrower) under the Loan Documents and in particular under this Article X
shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would
constitute the provision of financial assistance within the meaning of Article
L. 225-216 of the French Commercial Code and/or would constitute a misuse of
corporate assets within the meaning of Article L. 241-3, L. 242-6 or L. 244-1 of
the French Commercial Code or any other law or regulation having the same
effect, as interpreted by French courts.
(b)The obligations and liabilities of any French Borrower under this Article X
shall be limited at all times to the European Guaranteed Obligations, up to a
maximum principal amount equal to the aggregate of (i) the outstanding aggregate
amount of the Tranche C Commitment up to the amount made available to such
French Borrower and (ii) the principal amount outstanding of any intercompany
loan made available (directly or indirectly) to such French Borrower (or any of
its Subsidiaries) from the proceeds of any Loan under this Agreement.

(c)The obligations and liabilities of any French Guarantor (other than the
French Borrower) under this Article X:

(i)for the obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents of any other
Foreign Loan Party which is not a Subsidiary of such French Guarantor shall be
limited, at any time, to an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts
directly or indirectly borrowed under this Agreement by such other Foreign Loan
Party to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent to such French Guarantor
under intercompany loan agreements and outstanding at the date a payment is to
be made by such French Guarantor under this Article X; it being specified that
any payment made by such French Guarantor under this Article X in respect of the
obligations of such Foreign Loan Party shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding
amount of the intercompany loans due by such French Guarantor under the
intercompany loan agreements referred to above and that any repayment of the
intercompany loans by such French Guarantor shall reduce pro tanto the amount
payable under this Article X; and

(ii)for the obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents of any other
Foreign Loan Party which is its Subsidiary shall not be limited and shall
therefore cover all amounts due by such Foreign Loan Party as Borrower and/or as
Guarantor; it being specified that where such Subsidiary is itself a Guarantor
which guarantees the obligations of a member of the Group which is not a
Subsidiary of the relevant French Guarantor, the amounts payable by such French
Guarantor under this clause (ii) in respect of the obligations of this
Subsidiary as Guarantor, shall be limited as set out in clause (i) above.
Section 10.14    German Guarantee Limitations.

223

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

(a)The right of the Secured Parties to enforce the Guaranteed Obligations of a
German Guarantor existing in the form of a German limited liability company
(Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, GmbH) or a limited liability partnership
with a limited liability company as partner (GmbH & Co. KG) under this Article X
shall be limited if and to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations secure any
obligation of an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning
of section 15 German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (in each case other
than any of such German Guarantor's direct or indirect subsidiaries) and the
enforcement of such Guaranteed Obligations would cause:

(i)such German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general
partner's) net assets (Reinvermögen) determined in accordance with the
provisions of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) consistently
applied by such German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general
partner) in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss)
according to section 42 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz
betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung), sections 242, 264
German Commercial Code and in accordance with sections 30, 31 German Limited
Liability Companies Act (as applicable at the time of enforcement)) (the "Net
Assets") to be less than its registered share capital (Stammkapital) (Begründung
einer Unterbilanz); or

(ii)(if such German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general
partner's) Net Assets are already less than its registered share capital) the
German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's)
Net Assets to be further reduced (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz)

(in each case a "Capital Impairment").
(b)For the purposes of the calculation of the German Guarantor's (or in the case
of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) Net Assets:

(i)the amount of any increase of the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a
GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) registered share capital that has been
effected without the prior written consent of any Agent or is otherwise
permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deducted
from the registered share capital;

(ii)any obligations of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG,
of its general partner) towards any of the Borrowers or any of their affiliates
which are subordinated in accordance with section 39 para. 1 no. 5 German
Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung), shall be disregarded; and

(iii)loans and other liabilities incurred by the German Guarantor (or in the
case of a GmbH & Co. KG, by its general partner)

224

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

in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall be disregarded.

(c)The German Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent, within ten (10) Business
Days after receipt from the Agent of a notice stating that the Agent intends to
enforce the Guaranteed Obligations an up-to-date balance sheet of the German
Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner) together
with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Agent) of the amount of the
German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's)
Net Assets taking into account the adjustments set forth in paragraph (b) above
(the "Management Determination"). Any Agent shall be entitled to enforce the
Guaranteed Obligations in an amount which would, in accordance with the
Management Determination, not cause a Capital Impairment of the German Guarantor
(or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner).

(d)Following the relevant Agent's receipt of the Management Determination, upon
request by the relevant Agent, the German Guarantor (or in the case of a
GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) shall deliver to the respective Agent within
thirty (30) Business Days of request an up-to-date balance sheet of the German
Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner's) drawn up
by the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general
partner's) auditor together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the
respective Agent) of the amount of the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a
GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) Net Assets taking into account the
adjustments set forth in paragraph (b) above (the "Auditor's Determination").
Such balance sheet and Auditor's Determination shall be prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied.
Each Agent shall be entitled to enforce the Guaranteed Obligations in an amount
which would, in accordance with the Auditor's Determination, not cause a Capital
Impairment of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its
general partner's).

(e)If as a result of the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations its Net
Assets would be reduced below the amount of its registered share capital, the
German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) shall
without undue delay (unverzüglich) bearing in mind the legitimate interests of
the Secured Parties after its receipt of a written request by the respective
Agent realise, to the extent legally permitted, any and all of its assets shown
in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is materially lower than
the market value of such asset(s) and that are not required for the business of
the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general
partner's) (nicht betriebsnotwendig).
After the realisation of such asset(s) the German Guarantor (or in the case of a
GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) shall, within five (5) Business Days, notify
the respective Agent of the amount of the proceeds from the sale and submit a
statement with a new calculation of the amount of the Net Assets taking into
account such proceeds. Such calculation shall, upon the relevant Agent's
request, be confirmed by the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a
GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) auditor within a period of twenty (20)
Business Days following the request.

225

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

(f)The restriction under paragraph (a) above shall not apply:

(i)if the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general
partner) has not complied with its obligations pursuant to paragraphs (c)
through (e) above;

(ii)when, at the time of enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations, the
restrictions under paragraph (a) above are, due to a change of the applicable
laws, the interpretation thereof or otherwise, not required to protect the
managing directors of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG,
its general partner) or of any of its direct or indirect shareholders from the
risk of personal liability;

(iii)if the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general
partner) has a fully recoverable recourse claim (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs-
oder Rückgewähranspruch);

(iv)if and so long it is party to a domination and/or profit and loss pooling
agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) or a chain of
domination and/or profit and loss pooling agreements as a dominated or profit
distributing entity with its shareholder or with any of its shareholder's
affiliated companies within the meaning of section 15 German Stock Corporation
Act whose obligations are secured (other than the German Guarantor's (or in the
case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) subsidiaries) as dominating or
profit receiving entity, on the date of the enforcement, provided that the
Administrative Agent provides evidence that the mere existence of such
domination and/or profit and loss pooling agreement on such date is sufficient
to suspend the restrictions imposed by sections 30, 31 German Limited Liability
Companies Act; including, in particular, that it is not required for such
suspension that the relevant German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co.
KG, its general partner) has a fully recoverable recourse claim (vollwertiger
Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) against any such dominating or profit
receiving entity; or

(v)to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations secure any Loans that are
on-lent by the relevant Borrower to the German Guarantor (or in the case of a
GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner)(or any of its subsidiaries) and have not yet
been repaid by the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its
general partner) (or its subsidiaries) prior to the time of the intended
enforcement.

(g)No limitation of enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with
the above limitations will prejudice the rights of any Agent to continue
enforcing the Guaranteed Obligations (subject always to the operation of the
limitation set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full
satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.

226

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

(h)The maximum amount payable by a German Guarantor existing in the form of a
German limited liability company (GmbH) or a limited liability partnership with
a limited liability company as partner (GmbH & Co. KG) under this Article X
shall be limited to the extent such German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH &
Co. KG, its general partner), as a consequence of the payment, would become
unable to pay its other debts as they due (zahlungsunfähig) within the meaning
of section 64 sentence 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (the "Liquidity
Impairment") and this payment were to result in personal liability of the German
Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) managing
directors (Geschäftsführer) pursuant to section 64 sentence 3 German Limited
Liability Companies Act, it being understood that as of the date of this
Agreement the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general
partner's) managing directors do not foresee any enforcement under this Article
X. In respect of such Liquidity Impairment, the following shall apply:

(i)for the purpose of establishing whether a Liquidity Impairment would occur,
the following payments and claims shall be disregarded, unless otherwise agreed
with the Administrative Agent: (x) payments made by the relevant German
Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) after the
Administrative Agent has notified such German Guarantor of its intention to
enforce this Article X (the "Demand") that are not due at the time of the
payment; and (y) any claims (and payment in this respect) towards any of the
Borrowers or any of their affiliates which are subordinated in accordance with
section 39 para. 1 no. 5 German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung);

(ii)the limitations set forth in this paragraph (h) shall only apply if the
respective German Guarantor, within 10 (ten) Business Days following the Demand,
confirms in writing to the Administrative Agent to what extent the enforcement
of this Article X were to result in a Liquidity Impairment (the "Management
Liquidity Impairment Determination") and provides the Administrative Agent with
each of the following: (x) a liquidity schedule providing for the preceding 12
months and for the 12 subsequent months showing the liquidity requirements of
such German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner)
and to what extent the enforcement of the relevant Guaranteed Obligations would
affect its ability to make payments (Liquiditätsplan); (y) a payment schedule
which sets out when and in which amounts instalment payments can be made in
respect of the relevant Guaranteed Obligations, and (z) evidence to the
satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that all acceptable (zumutbare)
measures have been taken or will promptly (unverzüglich) be taken in order to
increase the respective German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG,
its general partner's) liquidity;

(iii)if the Administrative Agent disagrees with such Management Liquidity
Impairment Determination, the relevant German Guarantor shall, within 15
(fifteen) Business Days following a

227

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

respective request by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative
Agent a written auditors' confirmation determining the amount that would have
been necessary on the date of the Demand to prevent the occurrence of a
Liquidity Impairment (the “Auditor’s Liquidity Impairment Determination”). Each
relevant German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general
partner) shall render any and all reasonable assistance requested by the
auditors for the purposes of facilitating the Auditors’ Liquidity Impairment
Determination and shall allow full access to and inspection of its books and any
other necessary documents; the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce
this Article X without further court ruling up to the amount determined by the
Management Liquidity Impairment Determination or, if disputed, up to the amount
determined by the Auditor's Liquidity Impairment Determination; and

(iv)the aforementioned restriction does not apply, if the Administrative Agent
has not been provided with (i) a Management Liquidity Impairment Determination
within ten (10) Business Days from Demand, or (ii), if disputed, with an
Auditor's Liquidity Impairment Determination within fifteen (15) Business Days
of the respective request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent and each Credit Party shall be entitled to further pursue in court their
claims under this Article X against the relevant German Guarantor in excess of
the amounts determined by way of a Management Liquidity Impairment Determination
or an Auditor's Liquidity Impairment Determination, in particular, but not
limited to, by claiming in court that demanding payment under this Article X
against the German Guarantor does not result in personal liability of the German
Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) managing
directors (Geschäftsführer) pursuant to section 64 sentence 3 German Limited
Liability Companies Act.

(i)The limitations set forth in this Section 10.14 shall apply on the Parallel
Debt accordingly, if and to the extent relating to a German Loan Party in the
form of a German limited liability company (GmbH) or a limited liability
partnership with a limited liability company as partner (GmbH & Co. KG).

(j)No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Article X or under the
Parallel Debt in accordance with the above limitations will prejudice the rights
of any Credit Party to continue to enforce its claims under Article X or under
the Parallel Debt (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth
above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction of the respective
secured claims.
Section 10.15    Spanish Guarantee Limitations.
(a)The obligations and liabilities of any Spanish Guarantor (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, the Spanish Borrower) under the Loan Documents shall never
result in a breach of the Financial Assistance obligations contained and
described in detail under Section 5.17 of this Agreement.

228

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

(b)For the purposes of Article 135 of the Spanish Insolveny Law, each Spanish
Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the scope and provisions of its
respective obligations under the Loan Documents and in particular under this
Article X will not be affected by the fact that any of the International Secured
Parties may vote in favor of: (i) the approval or ratification of a composition
agreement ("convenio") as a result of the bankruptcy declaration ("concurso") of
a Spanish Borrower or a Spanish Guarantor, in accordance with article 135.2 of
the Spanish Insolvency Law; or (ii) the approval or execution of a
court-sanctioned out-of-court workout (an homologated refinancing agreement
(“acuerdo de refinanciación homologado”)) and which may be entered into as a
result of a pre-insolvency or insolvency of a Spanish Borrower or a Spanish
Guarantor (in any case, prior to the declaration of insolvency, whether
voluntary or mandatory), under paragraph 9 of the 4th Additional Provision
(“Disposición Adicional Cuarta”) of the Spanish Insolvency Law Accordingly, each
and any of the obligations of a Spanish Guarantor under the Loan Documents
(particularly under this Article X) shall remain exactly within the terms stated
herein irrespective of whether or not any International Secured Party votes in
favor of the approval or ratification of a composition agreement ("convenio"),
or a court-sanctioned out-of-court workout (an homologated refinancing agreement
(“acuerdo de refinanciación homologado”)).
Section 10.16    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
Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of a
Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only
be liable under this Section 10.16 for the maximum amount of such liability that
can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section
10.16 or otherwise under this Loan Guaranty voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any
greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each
Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.16 shall remain in full force and
effect until the termination of all Swap Obligations. Each Qualified ECP
Guarantor intends that this Section 10.16 constitute, and this Section 10.13
shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the
benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of
the Commodity Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no European Guarantor
or Canadian Guarantor shall guarantee or otherwise be liable for Swap
Obligations of a U.S. Loan Party.

liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to
