(h)Representations.  The representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in Section 5 and in the other Loan Documents shall be true in all material respects on and as of the date of such increase with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (except representations and warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date or time, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of the specific dates or times referred to therein); provided, that, in the case of any increased Commitments or related Loans that are to be used to

The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.

	
 
	
2.3
	
Commitment Fees.

Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the average daily difference between the amount of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the amount of the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage (provided however, that solely in connection with determining the share of each Lender in the Commitment Fee, the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage with respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated to PNC shall include the full amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, and with respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated by the Administrative Agent to all of the Lenders other than PNC, such portion of the Commitment Fee shall be calculated (according to each such Lender's Ratable Share) as if the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage excludes the outstanding Swing Loans); provided, further, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

assume that such Lender has made such share available in the applicable currency on such date in accordance with Section 2.5.1 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available in the applicable currency to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender (or if such Lender fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand, from the Borrowers) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrowers and ending on the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for payments in Euros or another Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option with respect to Revolving Credit Loans or the interest rate applicable to Term Loans.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan.  Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

	
 
	
2.5.4
	
Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans.

The Borrowers, jointly and severally, subject to Section 10.18 (if applicable), shall repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, together with all accrued interest thereon and all fees and other amounts owing under any of the Loan Documents relating thereto and any other Obligations then outstanding on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments in connection with the terms hereof.

Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.

The Swing Loan Lender may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if the Swing Loan Lender so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make any Revolving Credit Loan if after giving effect thereto, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent amount of its Revolving Credit Loans plus such Lender's Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds its Revolving Credit Commitment.  Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.4.1 without regard to any of the requirements of that provision.  The Swing Loan Lender shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.5.5 and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 6.2 are then satisfied) by the time the Swing Loan Lender so requests, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m. Pittsburgh time on the next Business Day after the date the Lenders receive such notice from the Swing Loan Lender.

2.7.1
	
Periodic Computations of Dollar Equivalent Amounts of Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations.

For purposes of determining utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of (i) the outstanding and proposed Revolving Credit Loans that are Optional Currency Loans and Letters of Credit to be denominated in an Optional Currency as of the requested Borrowing Date or date of issuance, as the case may be, (ii) the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations denominated in an Optional Currency as of the last Business Day of each month, and (iii) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency as of the end of each Interest Period (each such date under clauses (i) through (iii) and any other date on which the Administrative Agent determines 

47

it is necessary or advisable to make such computation, in its sole discretion, is referred to as a "Computation Date").  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Company, each Revolving Credit Loan and Reimbursement Obligation shall be repaid or prepaid in the same currency in which the Revolving Credit Loan or Reimbursement Obligation was made. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Company, each Term Loan shall be repaid or prepaid in the same currency in which the Term Loan was made.

	
 
	
2.7.2
	
Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund New Revolving Credit Loans.

The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrowers which are denominated in an Optional Currency if any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh time) four (4) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans that such Lender cannot provide its Ratable Share of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency.  In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers no later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh time) three (3) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans that the Optional Currency is not then available for such Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same and the Lenders shall not make such Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrowers under their Loan Request. 

	
 
	
2.7.3
	
Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund Renewals of the Euro-Rate Option.

If the Borrowers deliver a Loan Request requesting that the Lenders renew the Euro-Rate Option with respect to an outstanding Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to renew such Euro-Rate Option if any Lender delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh time) four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such renewal that such Lender cannot continue to provide Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency.  In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers no later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh time) three (3) Business Days prior to the renewal date that the renewal of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same.  If the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrowers that any such continuation of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, any notice of renewal with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn, and such Revolving Credit Loans shall be redenominated into Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars at the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option, at the Company's option on behalf of the Borrowers (subject, in the case of the Euro-Rate Option, to compliance with Section 2.4), with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Revolving Credit Loans.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of any such redenomination, and in such notice, the Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Revolving Credit Loans in an 

48

Optional Currency as of the applicable Computation Date with respect thereto and such Lender's Ratable Share thereof.

European Monetary Union.

2.7.4.1Payments In Euros Under Certain Circumstances.

If (i) any Optional Currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the Euro or (ii) any Optional Currency and the Euro are at the same time recognized by any governmental authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request in a notice delivered to the Borrowers, then any amount payable hereunder by any party hereto in such Optional Currency shall instead be payable in the Euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such Optional Currency to the Euro at the exchange rate established by that nation for the purpose of implementing the replacement of the relevant Optional Currency by the Euro (and the provisions governing payments in Optional Currencies in this Agreement shall apply to such payment in the Euro as if such payment in the Euro were a payment in an Optional Currency).  Prior to the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, each amount payable hereunder in any Optional Currency will, except as otherwise provided herein, continue to be payable only in that currency.

2.7.4.2Additional Compensation Under Certain Circumstances.

The Borrowers agree, at the request of any Lender, to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or reduction in return that such Lender shall reasonably determine shall be incurred or sustained by such Lender as a result of the replacement of any Optional Currency by the Euro and that would not have been incurred or sustained but for the transactions provided for herein.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth such Lender's determination of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error so long as such determination is made on a reasonable basis.  The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

	
 
	
2.7.5
	
Requests for Additional Optional Currencies.

The Borrowers may deliver to the Administrative Agent a written request that Revolving Credit Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in addition to the currencies specified in the definition of "Optional Currency" herein provided that such currency must be freely traded in the interbank foreign exchange markets, freely transferable, freely convertible into Dollars and available to the Lenders in the Relevant Interbank Market.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such request after the Administrative Agent receives such request.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender may grant or accept such request in their sole discretion.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the acceptance or rejection by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of the Borrowers' request.  The requested 

49

currency shall be approved as an Optional Currency hereunder only if the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders approve of the Borrowers' request.

	
 
	
2.8
	
Use of Proceeds.

The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loan shall be used for (i) refinancing amounts outstanding under the Prior Senior Credit Facility and the 2012 Senior Notes, and (ii) general corporate purposes, including financing working capital and Permitted Acquisitions.

Letter of Credit Subfacility. 

	
 
	
2.9.1
	
Issuance of Letters of Credit.

2.9.1.1The Borrowers may request the issuance of a letter of credit (each such letter of credit and each Existing Letter of Credit, a "Letter of Credit"), or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, on behalf of itself, another Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries (provided that a Loan Party shall be the obligor with respect thereto) by delivering or transmitting electronically, or having such other Loan Party deliver or transmit electronically to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed application and agreement for letters of credit, or request for such extension or amendment, in such form as the Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, at least four (4) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance.  The related Borrower or any Loan Party shall authorize and direct the Issuing Lender to name the related Borrower or any Loan Party or any Subsidiary as the "Applicant" or "Account Party" of each Letter of Credit.  Each Letter of Credit shall be a Standby Letter of Credit or Commercial Letter of Credit and may be denominated in either Dollars or an Optional Currency.  

Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 6 is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9, the Issuing Lender or any of the Issuing Lender's Affiliates will issue a Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension, provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance (subject to customary evergreen provisions), and (B) in no event expire later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date and providing that in no event shall (i) the Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, $30,000,000.00, or (ii) the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments.  Each request by a Borrower or any other Loan Party for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that it shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Section 6 after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit.  Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.  

50

The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued hereunder.

2.9.1.2Notwithstanding Section 2.9.1.1, the Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Official Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Official Body with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and, in each such case, which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

	
 
	
2.9.2
	
Letter of Credit Fees.

The Borrowers shall pay in Dollars, or at the Administrative Agent's option, the Optional Currency in which each Letter of Credit is issued (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Revolving Credit Loans subject to the Euro-Rate Option, per annum, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender for its own account, a fronting fee to be agreed upon by the Issuing Lender and the Company, on behalf of all Borrowers (each computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily average Dollar Equivalent amount of Letter of Credit Obligations during the preceding fiscal quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or ending with the Expiration Date) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Expiration Date.  The Borrowers shall also pay in Dollars to the Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender's sole account the Issuing Lender's then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

	
 
	
2.9.3
	
Disbursements, Reimbursement.

2.9.3.1Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit (and with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit, on the Closing Date), each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively, in each case, in the currency in which each Letter of Credit is issued.

2.9.3.2In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers.  Provided that they shall have received such notice, the 

51

Borrowers shall reimburse the Issuing Lender (such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") prior to 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender in the same currency as paid, unless otherwise required by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender.  In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars (and if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount of the amount paid by the Issuing Lender in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof) be made by the Lenders under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 other than any notice requirements.  Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.2 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

2.9.3.3Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.2 make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount of the amount paid by the Issuing Lender in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof) (whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 shall have been satisfied), whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.3.4) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in that amount.  If any Lender so notified fails to make available in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender's Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date.  The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3.3.

2.9.3.4With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.9.3.2, because of the Borrowers' failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 other than any notice requirements or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in Dollars in the amount of such drawing (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount of the amount 

52

paid by the Issuing Lender in such other currency) on the Drawing Date thereof.  Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option.  Each Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.3.3 shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a "Participation Advance" from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.9.3.

	
 
	
2.9.4
	
Repayment of Participation Advances.

2.9.4.1Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender's Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing Lender.

2.9.4.2If the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, examiner, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.4.1 in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent, for its account or the account of such Issuing Lender (as applicable), the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender (as applicable) plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for any payment in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) in effect from time to time.

	
 
	
2.9.5
	
Documentation.

Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing Lender's application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender's written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party's own.  In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.  It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party's instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

53

	
 
	
2.9.6
	
Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests.

In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

	
 
	
2.9.7

(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any Lender against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates, any Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, or any Lender or any other Person or, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

Liability for Acts and Omissions.

As between any Loan Party and the Issuing Lender, or the Issuing Lender's Affiliates, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom:  (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Lender's or its Affiliates, rights or powers hereunder.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for the Issuing Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence.  In no event shall the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.  

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuing Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such 

56

dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the Laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant's request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an "Order") and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, under any resulting liability to the Borrowers or any Lender.

	
 
	
Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements.
	

  The Issuing Lender shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent and Borrowers a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Administrative Agent may request.

	
 
	
2.10
	
Currency Repayments.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the entire amount of principal of and interest on any Revolving Credit Loan made in an Optional Currency shall be repaid in the same Optional Currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan was made, provided, however, that if it is impossible or illegal for the Borrowers to effect payment of a Revolving Credit Loan in the Optional Currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan was made, or if the Borrowers default in their obligations to do so, the Required Lenders may at their option permit such payment to be made (i) at and to a different location, subsidiary, affiliate or correspondent of Administrative Agent, (ii) in the Equivalent Amount of Dollars or (iii) in an Equivalent Amount of such other currency (freely convertible into Dollars) as the Required Lenders may solely at their option designate.  Upon any events described in (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Borrowers shall make such payment, and the Borrowers agree to indemnify and hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss incurred by any Lender arising from the cost to such Lender of any premium, any costs of exchange, the cost of hedging and covering the 

57

Optional Currency in which such Revolving Credit Loan was originally made, and from any change in the value of Dollars, or such other currency, in relation to the Optional Currency that was due and owing.  Such loss shall be calculated for the period commencing with the first day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loan and continuing through the date of payment thereof.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the Borrowers' obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

	
 
	
2.11
	
Optional Currency Amounts.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, with respect to notices by the Borrowers for Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency or voluntary prepayments of less than the full amount of an Optional Currency Borrowing Tranche, engage in reasonable rounding of the Optional Currency amounts requested to be loaned or repaid; and, in such event, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such rounded amounts and the Borrowers' request or notice shall thereby be deemed to reflect such rounded amounts.

	
 
	
2.12
	
Reduction of Commitment.  

The Company, on behalf of all Borrowers, shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to permanently reduce, in whole multiples of $5,000,000.00 of principal, or terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments without penalty or premium, except as hereinafter set forth, provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by (a) the payment in full of any Commitment Fee then accrued on the amount of such reduction or termination and (b) prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans, together with the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 4.8 hereof), to the extent that the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage then outstanding exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced or terminated; provided, that any such termination or reduction may be conditioned on the occurrence of any subsequent event (including a change of control or refinancing transaction).  From the effective date of any such reduction or termination the obligations of the Borrowers to pay the Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.3 shall correspondingly be reduced or cease.

	
 
	
2.13
	
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:

(i)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3;

(ii)the Commitment and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting 

58

Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby; 

(iii)if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(a)all or any part of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent that (x) the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving Credit Commitments, and (y) no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

(b)if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swing Loans, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender the Borrowers' obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in a deposit account held at the Administrative Agent for so long as such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding; 

(c)if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (b) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender's Letter of Credit Obligations are cash collateralized; 

(d)if the Letter of Credit Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9.2 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders' Ratable Share; and

(e)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's Letter of Credit Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.9.2 with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iv)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender's then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.13(iii)(b), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated 

59

among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.13(iii)(a) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, or (ii) PNC or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, PNC and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and the Ratable Share of the Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share; provided, however, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to non-defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

	
 
	
2.14
	
Term Loan Commitment.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender holding any Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan (the "Term Loans") in Euros to the Borrowers at any time on or after the Closing Date to and including the Term Loan Draw Termination Date (such date, the "Term Loan Draw Date") in such principal amount as the Borrowers shall request up to but not exceeding such Lender's Term Loan Commitment; provided however, (i) only one advance of the Term Loans may be made, (ii) the proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used to redeem and repay in full all outstanding Indebtedness under the 2012 Senior Notes and such 2012 Senior Notes shall be cancelled and (iii) after giving effect to such Term Loan advance, the aggregate amount of Term Loans shall not exceed the Term Loan Commitment. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Term Loans hereunder after the Term Loan Draw Termination Date.  The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrowers shall not have the right to borrow, repay and reborrow new funds under this Section 2.14.

The Borrower Agent, on behalf of all Borrowers, shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent to permanently reduce, in whole multiples of €5,000,000.00 of principal, or terminate the Term Loan Commitments without penalty or premium.  The Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (x) 11:59 pm (Pittsburgh time) on the Term Loan Draw Termination Date and (y) the funding of the Term Loans on the Term Loan Draw 

60

Date.  From the effective date of any such reduction or termination the obligations of the Borrowers to pay the Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.16 shall correspondingly be reduced or cease.

	
 
	
2.15
	
Nature of Lender's Obligations with Respect to Term Loans; Term Loan Repayment Terms.

The obligations of each Lender to make Term Loans to the Borrowers shall be in the proportion that such Lender's Term Loan Commitment bears to the Term Loan Commitments of all the Lenders, but each Lender's aggregate advance with respect to the Term Loans to the Borrowers shall never exceed its Term Loan Commitment.  The failure of any Lender to make such advance with respect to the Term Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make an advance with respect to the Term Loan nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other Lender hereunder.  The principal amount of the Term Loans shall be payable from and after the Term Loan Draw Termination Date in consecutive quarterly installments of principal, with each such quarterly installment to be in an amount equal to 1.25% of the Term Loans funded on the Term Loan Draw Date (as such quarterly installment amounts may be reduced or eliminated pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 4.5), commencing on July 1, 2019 and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter, through and including the Expiration Date, upon which date all remaining principal on the Term Loans, to the extent not previously paid, is due and payable.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the entire amount of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be repaid in Euros.

	
 
	
2.16
	
Term Loan Commitment Fees.

Accruing from the date hereof until the earlier of the Term Loan Draw Date or the Term Loan Draw Termination Date (or, if applicable, the date of the termination in whole of the Term Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14), the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the "Term Loan Commitment Fee") equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the aggregate amount of the outstanding Term Loan Commitments; provided, further, that any Term Loan Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Term Loan Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Term Loan Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by Borrowers prior to such time; and provided further that no Term Loan Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Term Loan Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.  Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, the Term Loan Commitment Fee shall be payable on the earlier of the Term Loan Draw Date or the Term Loan Draw Termination Date or upon acceleration of the Loans and in Euros.

	
 
	
Term Loan Note.
	

  Subject to Section 10.18, the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, to the extent requested pursuant to Section 4.11, a Term Loan Note dated the 

61

Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender.

3.INTEREST RATES

	
 
	
3.1
	
Interest Rate Options.

The Borrowers shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Revolving Credit Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche.  Interest on the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan made in an Optional Currency shall be paid by the Borrowers in such Optional Currency.  Swing Loans shall bear interest at a rate to be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Company, on behalf of all Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans at the Euro Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to the Term Loans as set forth in Section 3.1.2 below, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may select different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Term Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may renew one or more Interest Periods with respect to all or any portion of the Term Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche.  At no time shall there be outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans.  If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender's highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender's Loan shall be limited to such Lender's highest lawful rate.

	
 
	
3.1.1
	
Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options.

The Borrowers shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to the provisions above regarding Swing Loans), except that no Revolving Credit Loan to which a Base Rate shall apply may be made in an Optional Currency:

(i)Revolving Credit Base Rate Option.  A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or

(ii)Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option.  A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, provided that, for Revolving Credit Loans made in an Optional Currency as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice), equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

	
 
	
3.1.2
	
Term Loan Interest Rate.

62

The Term Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed, provided that, if the market practice differs from the foregoing at any time for loans made in Euros, in accordance with such market practice) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

	
 
	
3.1.3
	
Rate Quotations.

The Borrowers may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the interest rates and the applicable currency exchange rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest or the calculation of Equivalent Amounts which thereafter are actually in effect when the election is made.

	
 
	
3.2
	
Interest Periods.

At any time when the Borrowers shall (i) select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option with respect to Revolving Credit Loans or (ii) renew an Interest Period with respect to the Term Loans, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof by delivering a Loan Request at least four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Interest Rate Option with respect to Revolving Credit Loans, with respect to an Optional Currency Loan and/or a Term Loan, and three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Interest Rate Option, with respect to a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in Dollars.  The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and specify an Interest Period with respect to the Term Loans, as applicable.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to (i) any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Euro-Rate Option with respect to Revolving Credit Loans or (ii) the renewal of an Interest Period with respect to the Term Loans:

	
 
	
3.2.1
	
Amount of Borrowing Tranche.

The Dollar Equivalent amount of each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Revolving Credit Loans shall be in integral multiples of $100,000.00 and not less than $2,000,000.00 and the amount of each Borrowing Tranche of Term Loans shall be in integral multiples of €100,000.00 and not less than €2,000,000.00.

	
 
	
3.2.2
	
Renewals.

In the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and/or any Term Loan Borrowing Tranche at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.

	
 
	
3.2.3
	
No Conversion of Optional Currency Loans.

No Optional Currency Loan may be converted into a Revolving Credit Loan with a different Interest Rate Option, or a Revolving Credit Loan denominated in a different Optional Currency.

63

	
 
	
3.3
	
Interest After Default.

To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or upon written demand by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent:

	
 
	
3.3.1
	
Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.

The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9.2 or Section 3.1, respectively, shall at the request of the Administrative Agent be increased, by 2.0% per annum; and

	
 
	
3.3.2
	
Other Obligations.

Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full.

	
 
	
3.3.3
	
Acknowledgment.

The Borrowers acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 3.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by the Borrowers upon demand by the Administrative Agent.

	
 
	
3.4
	
Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

	
 
	
3.4.1
	
Unascertainable.

If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or

(ii)a contingency has occurred affecting the Relevant Interbank Market relating to the Euro-Rate and reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Interest Period, 

the Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall have the rights specified in Sections 3.4.4 and 4.4.2 (as applicable).

64

	
 
	
3.4.2
	
Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

If at any time any Lender shall have determined that:

(i)the making, maintenance or funding of any Revolving Credit Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, the making of the Term Loan or performing any of its obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

(ii)such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Revolving Credit Loan or the Euro-Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of the Term Loans,

(iii)after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars or in the Optional Currency (as applicable) for the relevant Interest Period for a Revolving Credit Loan, or to banks generally, to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market, or

(iv)after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Euros for the relevant Interest Period for a Term Loan, or to banks generally, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Term Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market, 

then the Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall have the rights specified in Sections 3.4.4 and 4.4.2 (as applicable).

	
 
	
3.4.3
	
Optional Currency Not Available.

If at any time the Administrative Agent shall have determined that a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to any Optional Currency (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls), then (i) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any such determination, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.4.

	
 
	
3.4.4
	
Administrative Agent's and Lender's Rights.

In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrowers thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 3.4.2 or 3.4.3 above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrowers.  Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the 

65

Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrowers to (i) select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option with respect to Revolving Credit Loans, (ii) select an Optional Currency (as applicable) with respect to Revolving Credit Loans or (iii) select or renew an Interest Period with respect to a Borrowing Tranche of the Term Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrowers, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.  If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 3.4.1 and the Borrowers have previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Revolving Credit Loans.  If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 3.4.1 and the Borrowers have previously notified the Administrative Agent of its renewal of an Interest Period with respect to a Term Loan and such Interest Period has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for conversion to the Foreign Base Rate.  If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2, the obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Revolving Credit Loan shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law, cancelled, and the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrowers' indemnification Obligations under Section 4.8, as to any Revolving Credit Loan of the Lender to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either, at the Borrowers' option (i) as applicable, convert such Revolving Credit Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Revolving Credit Loan or select a different Optional Currency or Dollars, or (ii) prepay such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with Section 4.4.  Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such Revolving Credit Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Revolving Credit Loan upon such specified date.  If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2, the obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Term Loan shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law, cancelled, and the Borrowers shall, subject to the Borrowers' indemnification Obligations under Section 4.8 on the date specified in such notice either, at the Borrowers' option, (i) as applicable, convert such Term Loan to Foreign Base Rate Loans, or (ii) prepay such Term Loan in accordance with Section 4.4.  Absent due notice from the Borrowers of conversion or prepayment, such Term Loan shall automatically be converted to a Foreign Base Rate Loan upon such specified date.  If the Administrative Agent makes a determination under 3.4.3 then, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (i) the availability of Revolving Credit Loans in the affected Optional Currency shall be suspended, and (ii) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in such affected Optional Currency shall be converted into Dollar Loans (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such outstanding Optional Currency Loans) (x) on the last day of the then current Interest Period if the Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency to such day, or (y) immediately if the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency, and interest thereon shall thereafter accrue at the Base Rate Option.

(i)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (a) (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.4.1 have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.4.1 have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of a Euro-Rate or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which the Euro-Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in Dollars, Euros or any Optional Currency (either such date, a "Euro-Rate Termination Date"), or (b) a rate other than the Euro-Rate has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars, Euros or an applicable Optional Currency in the U.S. market, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may choose a replacement index for the Euro-Rate in respect of Loans in Dollars, Euros or the applicable Optional Currency, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may enter into one or more amendments as described in clause (ii) below for the purpose of making adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in Euro-Rate-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.  

(ii)The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Section 10.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment. 

(iii)Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (a) will be determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from a Euro-Rate-based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (b) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from the Euro-Rate to the replacement index and (y) yield- or risk-based differences between the Euro-Rate and the replacement index.

(iv)Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 3.5 is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a Revolving Credit Loan under the Euro-Rate Option and/or a Term Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to the Euro-Rate; provided however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a Euro-Rate Termination Date has occurred, then following the Euro-Rate Termination Date, all Revolving Credit Loans as to which the Euro-Rate Option would otherwise apply and all Term Loans shall 

67

automatically be converted to (x) if such Revolving Credit Loan is in Dollars, the Base Rate Option, (y) if such Revolving Credit Loan is in an Optional Currency to which such Euro-Rate Termination Date applies, a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars under the Base Rate Option, and (z) with respect to the Term Loans, Foreign Base Rate Loans, in each case, until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.

(v)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

	
 
	
3.6
	
Selection of Interest Rate Options.

If the Borrowers fail to select a new Interest Period or Optional Currency to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans under the Euro-Rate Option or fail to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Trance of Term Loans at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have converted or continued, as applicable, such Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans under the Euro-Rate Option and/or such Borrowing Tranche of Term Loans for an Interest Period of one (1) month and, if required by the Administrative Agent with respect to Revolving Credit Loans, converted such Borrowing Tranche to a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars, as applicable, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

	
 
	
3.7
	
Canadian Interest Act Disclosure.

For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada): (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated on the basis of a period of time other than a calendar year, such rate used in such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) such rate, multiplied by (y) the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is calculated ends, and divided by (z) the number of days in such period of time, (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields and the parties acknowledge that they are capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates.

	
 
	
3.8
	
Canadian Usury Provision.

If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Law or would result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate" (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Lender of "interest" at a "criminal rate", such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

68

(i)first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

(ii)thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

The Administrative Agent's and each Lender's statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement (including the Equivalent Amounts of the applicable currencies where such computations are required) and shall be deemed an "account stated."  All payments of principal and interest made in respect of the Loans must be repaid in the same currency (whether Dollars, Euros or the applicable Optional Currency) in which such Loan was made and all Unpaid Drawings with respect to each Letter of Credit shall be made in the same currency (whether Dollars, Euros or the applicable Optional Currency) in which such Letter of Credit was issued.

Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.

Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option with respect to each Revolving Credit Loan, and each renewal of an Interest Period with respect to the Term Loans, and each payment or prepayment by the Borrowers with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Term Loan Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for the Administrative Agent's Fee and the Issuing 

69

Lender's fronting fee for Letters of Credit referred to in Section 2.9.2) or amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided in Section 3.4.4 in the case of an event specified in Sections 3.4, 4.4.2 or 4.8) be made in proportion to the applicable Loans outstanding from each Lender and, if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share, as applicable of each Lender.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrowers of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrowers with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC. 

	
 
	
4.3

Interest on Revolving Credit Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Notes.  Interest on Revolving Credit Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies and Term Loans shall be due and payable in the currency in which such Loan was made on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period.  Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 4.5 shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made and shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due.  Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable in the currency in which such Loan was made on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the Expiration Date, stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

4.4.1
	
Right to Prepay.

The Borrowers shall have the right, at their option, from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.4.2, Section 4.6.1 or Section 4.8) in the currency in which such Loan was made:

(i)at any time with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies,

(ii)at any time with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan in any Optional Currency, subject to Section 4.8,

(iii)at any time with respect to Revolving Credit Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, subject to Section 4.8,

(iv)at any time with respect to Term Loans, subject to Section 4.8

(v)on the date specified in a notice by any Lender pursuant to Section 3.4 with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies and/or any Term Loan.

70

Whenever the Borrowers desire to prepay any part of the Loans, the Company, on behalf of all Borrowers, shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. Pittsburgh time: (i) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans made in Dollars and (ii) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of any Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency or the Term Loans, and (iii) on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, in each case setting forth the following information:

(w)the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made; 

(x)a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Swing Loans;

(y)the Borrowing Tranche designated for prepayment, if applicable; and

(z)the total principal amount and currency of such prepayment, (1) with respect to Revolving Credit Loans, the Dollar Equivalent amount of which shall not be less than $100.000.00 for any Swing Loan or $1,000,000.00 or such lesser amount as may be outstanding or (2) with respect to the Term Loan shall not be less than €1,000,000.00 or such lesser amount as may be outstanding.

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable; provided, that such prepayment obligation may be conditioned on the occurrence of any subsequent event (including a change of control, refinancing transaction or Permitted Acquisition or other investment).  The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to Revolving Credit Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made in the currency in which such  Loans was made.  All Term Loan prepayments permitted pursuant to this Section 4.4.1 shall be applied as the Borrowers shall direct (or in the absence of any such direction, to the unpaid installments of principal of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity).  Except as provided in Section 3.4.4, if the Borrowers prepay a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrowers are prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (i) first to Revolving Credit Loans and then to Term Loans; and (ii) after giving effect to the allocations in clause (i) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Revolving Credit Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Revolving Credit Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies, then to Term Loans, then to Optional Currency Loans and then to Swing Loans.  Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrowers' Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 4.8.  Revolving Credit Loan prepayments shall not result in an reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments unless the Borrowers have elected to reduce such Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.12.  Prepayments shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent.

4.4.2
	
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of a Lender.

In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 3.4.1, (ii) requests compensation under Section 4.6.1, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.7, (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 10.1 (any occurrence under the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) being referred to in this Section 4.4.1 as a "Defaulting Lender Event"), then the Borrowers may, in their discretion and at their sole expense, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the applicable Defaulting Lender Event (and if there are multiple Defaulting Lender Events, within ninety (90) days of the first such Defaulting Lender Event to occur), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.11), all of its interests, rights (other than existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 4.6 or 4.7) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents 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 paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.11;

(ii)such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.9.8) 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);

(iii)in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.6 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.7, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(iv)such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a replacement of the Administrative Agent may only be effectuated pursuant to Section 9.10.

In connection with the Borrowers' exercise of their rights under this Section 4.4.2, the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment (as applicable) of the applicable Defaulting Lender may be provided by one or more of the remaining Lenders (who are not then Defaulting Lenders) or an acceptable new bank(s) or financial institution(s) which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion without unreasonable delay.  Each new lender committing to a Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment (as applicable) in connection therewith shall join this Agreement as a Lender by entering into a bank 

72

joinder and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment (as applicable) of such new lender, pursuant to which such new lender will become a Lender as of the effective date thereof.

	
 
	
4.4.3
	
Change of Lending Office.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.4.2, or the Borrowers are or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Agreement, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrowers) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

	
 
	
4.5
	
Mandatory Prepayments.

	
 
	
4.5.1
	
Currency Fluctuations.

If on any Computation Date the sum of the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage is greater than the Revolving Credit Commitments as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars by an amount greater than 105%, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the same.  The Borrowers shall pay or prepay the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to Borrowers' indemnity obligations contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 4.6 or 4.8) or Swing Loans within three (3) Business Days after receiving such notice such that the sum of the Dollar Equivalent Revolving Facility Usage no longer exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.  All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 4.5.1 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars and subject to a Euro-Rate Option and then to Revolving Credit Loans of Optional Currencies subject to the Euro-Rate Option, and the Borrowers will be subject to the indemnity obligation set forth in Section 4.8.

	
 
	
Sale of Assets.  
	

 

Subject to Section 4.5.6 below, within five (5) Business Days of any sale or other disposition of assets authorized by Section 7.2.7(v) and/or 7.2.7(vi), in each case resulting in net cash proceeds exceeding $50,000,000.00, the Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of Term Loans equal to such excess net cash proceeds, together with accrued interest on such principal amount; provided that (x) if the Borrower Agent shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the Administrative Agent promptly after receipt thereof setting forth the Borrowers' intent to reinvest such proceeds in assets useful in the business of the Borrower or any Subsidiary within twelve (12) months of the receipt of such proceeds, such proceeds shall not be required to be applied to prepay the Term Loans except to the extent such proceeds are not so reinvested within such twelve (12) month period and (y) no such prepayment 

73

shall be required to the extent that the aggregate amount of such proceeds that are not reinvested in accordance with clause (x) hereof does not exceed $50,000,000.00; and provided further, however, that any net cash proceeds not so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 4.5.2.

	
 
	
Issuance of Indebtedness.  
	

 

Within five (5) Business Days of any issuance of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 7.2.1), the Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of Term Loans equal to such net cash proceeds, together with accrued interest on such principal amount.

	
 
	
Recovery Event.  
	

 

Subject to Section 4.5.6 below, to the extent of net cash proceeds received in connection with a Recovery Event which are in excess of $50,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year and which are not applied to repair, replace or relocate damaged property or to purchase or acquire fixed or capital assets in replacement of the assets lost or destroyed within twelve (12) months of the receipt of such net cash proceeds, the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such net cash proceeds by the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt of such net cash proceeds (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in Section 4.5.5 below); provided that if such net cash proceeds have not been reinvested within the time periods set forth above, the Borrowers shall be required to prepay the Term Loans with such net cash proceeds.

	
 
	
Application of Prepayments.
	

  

Except as set forth in Section 4.5.1 above, all prepayments pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be applied to the payment of the principal amount of the Term Loans by application to the unpaid scheduled quarterly installments of principal ratably (and, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding from any such ratable payment application the Term Loan payment to be made on the Expiration Date).  In accordance with Section 4.8, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

	
 
	
Repatriation.
	

  Notwithstanding any other provisions of Sections 4.5.2 and 4.5.4, (i) to the extent that any of or all the net cash proceeds of any applicable sale or other disposition of assets with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries giving rise to a mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.5 are prohibited, delayed or restricted by applicable local Law, an amount equal to the portion of such net cash proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 4.5 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Borrower or Subsidiary (the Borrower Agent hereby agreeing to cause any applicable Subsidiary to promptly take commercially reasonable actions available under applicable local Law to permit such repatriation or a part thereof if full repatriation is not 

74

permitted) and (ii) to the extent that repatriation of any of or all of the net cash proceeds of any applicable disposition with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries to the jurisdiction of organization or incorporation of the applicable Borrower would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such net cash proceeds, the net cash proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay the Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 4.5 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Borrower or Subsidiary.

	
 
	
4.6
	
Increased Costs.

	
 
	
4.6.1
	
Increased Costs Generally.

If any Change in Law shall

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement, which is addressed separately in this Section 4.6) or the Issuing Lender;

(ii)subject any Recipient to any taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, and (B) taxes excluded from Taxes pursuant to Section 4.7.1 or from indemnification pursuant to Section 4.7.5) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)impose on any Lender or, the Issuing Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase by an amount such Lender deems to be material the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.6.1, no Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient shall be permitted to make a claim to any Borrower under this Section 4.6.1 unless such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient is making similar claims against other borrowers of such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient to the extent such borrowers are similarly situated to the Borrowers.

	
 
	
4.6.2
	
Capital Requirements.

75

If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing by an amount such Lender deems to be material the rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.6.2, no Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient shall be permitted to make a claim to any Borrower under this Section 4.6.2 unless such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient is making similar claims against other borrowers of such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient to the extent such borrowers are similarly situated to the Borrowers.

	
 
	
4.6.3
	
Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans.

A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 4.6.1 or 4.6.2 and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

	
 
	
4.6.4
	
Delay in Requests.

Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required, subject to applicable Laws, to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

	
 
	
4.6.5
	
Additional Reserve Requirements.

76

The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan under the Euro-Rate Option and each Term Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement under Regulation D or under any similar, successor or analogous requirement of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) or any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Revolving Credit Loans under the Euro-Rate Option and/or Term Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided that in each case the Borrowers shall have received at least ten days' prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice ten days prior to the relevant Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable ten days from receipt of such notice.

	
 
	
4.7
	
Taxes.

	
 
	
4.7.1
	
No Deductions.

(a)All payments made to the Lenders and/or Administrative Agent by the Borrowers hereunder and under each Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholdings), assessments, fees or other charges, in each case, imposed by any Official Body, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto, excluding (i) taxes imposed on, or measured by, the net income (however denominated) of any Lender, (ii) all income, franchise and branch profits taxes that would not have been imposed but for such Lender having a past or present connection with a jurisdiction imposing such taxes other than entering into this Agreement and performing its obligations and enforcing its rights thereunder and (iii) taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholdings), assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Official Body, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes") unless such deduction is required by Law (and then subject to the following sentence).  If the Borrowers shall be required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the sum payable hereunder or under such Note shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.7.1) each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law.  

77

(b)A payment shall not be increased under Section 4.7.1(a) above by reason of a deduction or withholding of any taxes imposed by Ireland from any such payment, where such Tax is an Indemnified Tax and on the date on which the payment falls due the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender or Participant, as the case may be, without any such deduction or withholding if the Lender or Participant, as the case may be, had been an Irish Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender or Participant, as the case may be, is not or has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender or Participant, as the case may be, under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority.  

(c)A payment shall not be increased under Section 4.7.1(a) above by reason of a deduction or withholding of any taxes imposed by the United Kingdom from any such payment, where such Tax is an Indemnified Tax and on the date on which the payment falls due (i) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without any such deduction or withholding if the Lender had been an English Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be an English Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority, or (ii) the relevant Lender is an English Treaty Lender and the English Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the UK Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 4.7.7(iv) below.

	
 
	
4.7.2
	
Stamp Taxes.

In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording or filing taxes or any other excise or property taxes or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note, except any such taxes that are imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax (other than connections arising from such Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan, or sold or assigned any interest in any Loan or Loan Document) imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 4.7.6) (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

	
 
	
4.7.3
	
Indemnification for Taxes.

Taxes Paid by a Lender.

  (i) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.7.3.1) paid by any Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses, other than any penalties and interest resulting from the willful misconduct or fraud of such Lender) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted or imposed.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date a Lender 

78

makes written demand therefor, but in no event shall such indemnification be required to be made more than ten (10) Business Days before the date such Taxes or Other Taxes are due to the relevant taxing authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii)An indemnity payment shall not be payable under Section 4.7.3.1(i) above with respect to any Indemnified Tax imposed by Ireland and assessed on a Lender or Participant, as the case may be, to the extent that Tax:

(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 4.7.1(a); or

(B) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 4.7.1(a) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 4.7.1(b) applied.  

(iii)An indemnity payment shall not be payable under Section 4.7.3.1(i) above with respect to any Indemnified Tax imposed by the United Kingdom and assessed on a Lender or Participant, as the case may be, to the extent that Tax:

(A) is compensated for by an increased payment under Section 4.7.1(a); or

(B) would have been compensated for by an increased payment under Section 4.7.1(a) but was not so compensated solely because one of the exclusions in Section 4.7.1(c) applied. 

Taxes Paid by Borrower or Administrative Agent.

  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and Borrower, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 4.7.7, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative 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 Official Body.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.7.3.2.

	
 
	
4.7.4
	
Certificate.

Within 30 days after the date of any payment of any Taxes by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.7, the Borrowers shall notify the Lenders thereof, and thereafter, if so requested by any Lender, furnish to each Lender, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, if available, or, if not available, another reasonable form of confirmation of such payment if it is requested by any Lender.

79

	
 
	
4.7.5
	
Exclusions, etc.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the forms provided pursuant to Section 4.7.7 by a Lender, assignee or participant at the time such Person first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Person provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that the term Taxes shall include United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to an assignee or participant of a Lender only to the extent that, at the effective date of the agreement or other transaction pursuant to which such assignee or participant becomes a party to this Agreement, such Lender was entitled to payments under Section 4.7.1 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date.  For any period with respect to which a Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender (or a financial institution through which such Lender, assignee or participant has directed any payment to be made) has failed to comply with Section 4.7.7, such Lender, assignee or participant shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

	
 
	
4.7.6
	
Change of Lending Office, etc.

Any Person claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.7 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with any legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any document or certificate reasonably requested by a Borrower or change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office with respect to this Agreement, if the filing of such document or certificate, or the making of such a change, would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.7 that may thereafter accrue.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the filing of any document or certificate or change in Lending Office shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable 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.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any filing or change in Lending Office.

	
 
	
4.7.7
	
Status of Lenders.

(i)Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time it first becomes a Lender or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments hereunder to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to minimize any indemnification obligation under this Agreement or to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such 

80

documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.7.7(ii)(a), 4.7.7(ii)(b), and 4.7.7(ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable 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.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(a)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

(1)executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(2)in the case of a Foreign Lender eligible for the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.7.7(A) to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(3)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.7.7(B) or Exhibit 4.7.7(C), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or 

81

indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.7.7(D) on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(c)any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

(iii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is an Irish Borrower,

(a)each Lender or Participant, as the case may be, on or prior to the date it becomes a party hereto, shall inform the Administrative Agent whether it is an Irish Qualifying Lender by completing and providing to the Administrative Agent a Qualifying Lender Confirmation.  Each Lender or Participant, as the case may be, shall upon reasonable written request from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide an updated Qualifying Lender Confirmation.

(b)if a Lender or Participant, as the case may be, fails to provide a Qualifying Lender Confirmation in accordance with Section 4.7.7(iii)(a) above then that Lender or Participant, as the case may be, shall be treated for the purposes of the Agreement (including by the Borrower) as if it is not an Irish Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Borrower which category applies.

(c)each Lender or Participant, as the case may be, upon reasonable written request from the Borrower from time to time shall, if applicable, provide such 

82

information as may be required to enable the Borrower to comply with the provisions of Sections 891A, 891E, 891F and 891G TCA (and any regulations made thereunder).

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(iv)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is an English Borrower,

(a)subject to paragraph (b) below, an English Treaty Lender and each English Borrower which makes a payment to which that English Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that English Borrower to obtain authorisation to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.

(b)(1) an English Treaty Lender which becomes a Party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered into that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in Schedule 1.1(B); and (2) an English Treaty Lender that becomes a Party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement that holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the document which it executes to become a party to this Agreement, and, having done so, that English Treaty Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

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

(d)if an English Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph ‎(iv)(b) above, no English Borrower shall make an English Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender's participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees.

83

(e)an English Borrower shall, promptly on making an English Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that English Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant English Treaty Lender.

(f)each Lender on or prior to the date it becomes a party hereto, shall inform the Administrative Agent whether it is an English Qualifying Lender by completing and providing to the Administrative Agent a Qualifying Lender Confirmation.  Each Lender shall upon reasonable written request from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide an updated Qualifying Lender Confirmation.

(g)if a Lender fails to provide a Qualifying Lender Confirmation in accordance with Section 4.7.7(iv)(f) above then that Lender shall be treated for the purposes of the Agreement (including by the Borrower) as if it is not an English Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Borrower which category applies.

(h)each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

	
 
	
4.7.8
	
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 (including any tax credit in lieu of a refund) as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.7), 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 4.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.7.8 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.7.8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.7.8 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

	
 
	
4.7.9
	
Survival.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in Section 4.7 shall 

84

survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under any instrument delivered hereunder and shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender.

	
 
	
4.7.10
	
Issuing Lender.

For purposes of this Section 4.7, the term "Lender" includes the Issuing Lender and any assignee or participant of a Lender and the term "applicable Law" includes FATCA.

	
 
	
4.8
	
Indemnity.

In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 4.6 or Section 4.7, the Borrowers shall jointly and severally, subject to Section 10.18 (if applicable), indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

(i)payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Revolving Credit Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option and/or any Term Loan applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due), or any voluntary prepayment without the required notice,

(ii)attempt by the Borrowers to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.4, Section 2.14 or Section 3.2 or notice relating to prepayments under Section 4.4, or

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrowers of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense.  Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.  Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrowers to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

	
 
	
4.9
	
Interbank Market Presumption.

For all purposes of this Agreement and each Note with respect to any aspects of the Euro-Rate, any Loan under the Euro-Rate Option, each Term Loan or any Optional Currency, each Lender and Administrative Agent shall be presumed to have obtained rates, funding, currencies, deposits, and the like in the Relevant Interbank Market regardless of whether it did so or not; and, each Lender's and Administrative Agent's determination of amounts payable under, and actions required or authorized by, Section 4.8 shall be calculated, at each Lender's and Administrative Agent's option, as though each Lender and Administrative Agent funded each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option and/or Term Loans through the purchase of deposits of the types and maturities corresponding to the deposits used as a reference 

85

in accordance with the terms hereof in determining the Euro-Rate applicable to such Loans, whether in fact that is the case.

	
 
	
4.10
	
Judgment Currency.

	
 
	
4.10.1
	
Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments.

If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under a Note in any currency (the "Original Currency") into another currency (the "Other Currency"), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal lending procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

	
 
	
4.10.2
	
Indemnity in Certain Events.

The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due from the Borrowers to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender may in accordance with normal lending procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency.  If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Lender against such loss.  If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

	
 
	
4.11
	
Requests for Notes.

Upon the request of any Lender, the Loans made by such Lender may be evidenced by a Note (or Notes) as set forth in Section 2.6 and/or Section 2.17.  

	
 
	
4.12
	
Settlement Date Procedures.

In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and PNC may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2 hereof during the period between Settlement Dates.  The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a "Required Share").  On such Settlement Date, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.  The Administrative Agent shall also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and on any mandatory prepayment date as provided for herein 

86

and may at its option effect settlement on any other Business Day.  These settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 4.12 shall relieve the Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1.2.  The Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.

	
 
	
4.13
	
Borrowers' Agent.

Each Borrower hereby designates the Company as its representative and agent (in such capacity, the "Borrower Agent") under the Loan Documents, including for requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of financial reports, and requests for waivers.  The Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower.  Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

If an Event of Default specified under Sections 8.1.1 through 8.1.14 shall occur and be continuing, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be under no further obligation to make Loans hereunder and the Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue Letters of Credit, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall (i) by written notice to the Borrowers, declare the unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other Indebtedness and Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to be forthwith due and payable, and the same shall (subject to Section 10.18 for the avoidance of doubt, if applicable) thereupon become and be immediately due and payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and (ii) require any Borrowers to, and such Borrowers shall thereupon, deposit in a non-interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for Borrowers' Obligations under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the maximum amount currently or at any time thereafter available to be drawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit, and each Borrower will pledge to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and will grant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a security interest in, all such cash as security for such Obligations.  Upon the curing of all existing Events of Default to the satisfaction of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall return such cash collateral to the Borrowers (or applicable Borrowers, as the case may be); and

	
 
	
8.2.2
	
Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Proceedings.

If an Event of Default specified under Sections 8.1.15 or 8.1.16 shall occur, the Lenders shall be under no further obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder and the unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other Indebtedness and Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder shall be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; and

	
 
	
8.2.3
	
Set-off.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any Lender to whom any Obligation is owed by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any participant of such Lender which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 9.9 and any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender or participant anywhere in the 

123

world shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, without notice to such Loan Party except as provided herein, to set-off (subject to Section 10.18 for the avoidance of doubt, if applicable) against and apply to the then unpaid balance of all the Loans and all other Obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document any debt owing to, and any other funds held in any manner for the account of, a Borrower or such other Loan Party by such Lender or participant or by such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate, including all funds in all deposit accounts (whether time or demand, general or special, provisionally credited or finally credited, or otherwise) now or hereafter maintained by a Borrower or such other Loan Party for its own account (but not including funds held in custodian or trust accounts) with such Lender or participant or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate, and each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees to promptly notify the Borrowers after such set-off, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  Such right shall exist whether or not any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether or not such debt owing to or funds held for the account of a Borrower or such other Loan Party is or are matured or unmatured and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, Guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to any Lender or the Administrative Agent; and

	
 
	
8.2.4
	
Suits, Actions, Proceedings.

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and whether or not the Administrative Agent shall have accelerated the maturity of Obligations pursuant to any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, if any Lender is owed any amount with respect to the Obligations, may proceed to protect and enforce the Lenders' rights by suit in equity, action at law and/or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including as permitted by applicable Law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver or other similar official, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders; and

	
 
	
8.2.5
	
Application of Proceeds.

From and after the date on which the Administrative Agent has taken any action pursuant to this Section 8.2 and until all Obligations of the Loan Parties have been paid in full, any and all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent from the exercise of any remedy by the Administrative Agent, shall be applied as follows: 

(i)First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such and the Swing Loan Lender in its capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause First payable to them;

124

(ii)Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

(v)Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, to cash collateralize any undrawn amounts under outstanding Letters of Credit; and

(vi)Last, the balance, if any, to the Loan Parties or as required by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2.5, no Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty Agreement (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty Agreement) or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party's collateral if such Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities; provided, however, that to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of collateral from other Loan Parties that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.2.5.

	
 
	
8.2.6
	
Enforcement of Remedies.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 8.2 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 8.2.3 (subject to the terms of Section 9.9), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Relief 

125

Proceeding; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 9.9, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

9.THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

	
 
	
9.1
	
Appointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

	
 
	
9.2
	
Rights as a Lender.  

The Person serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

	
 
	
9.3
	
Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

	
 
	
9.4
	
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  

Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit 

126

analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

	
 
	
9.5
	
No Other Duties, etc.  

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the joint lead arranger, joint bookrunner, syndication agent and documentation agent titles listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder.

	
 
	
9.6
	
Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

(c)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.1 and 8.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or the Issuing Lender.

127

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

	
 
	
9.7
	
Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Administrative 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.

	
 
	
9.8
	
Calculations.

In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the amount payable to any Lender whether in respect of the Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement.  In the event an error in computing any amount payable to any Lender is made, the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each affected Lender shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated at the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Overnight Rate if such computation relates to a Revolving Credit Loan made in an Optional Currency.

	
 
	
9.9
	
Sharing of Payments.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker's lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender's receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount 

128

of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, 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, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

(ii)the provisions of this Section 9.9 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents as in effect from time to time or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 9.9 shall apply).

Each Loan Party 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 each Loan Party rights of payment (including setoff, but subject to Section 8.2.3) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

	
 
	
9.10
	
Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrowers.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrowers (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent with, if no Event of Default is occurring, the approval of the Company in its reasonable discretion without unreasonable delay; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment (or been approved for such appointment pursuant to the terms hereof), then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and 

129

determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.10.  Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 9 and Section 9.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

If PNC resigns as Administrative Agent under this Section 9.10, PNC shall also resign as an Issuing Lender.  Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall, to the extent it will be the replacement Issuing Lender, (i) succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC as the retiring Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent and PNC shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by PNC, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to PNC to effectively assume the obligations of PNC with respect to such Letters of Credit.

	
 
	
9.11
	
Administrative Agent's Fee.

The Borrowers, on a joint and several basis, subject to Section 10.18, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the "Administrative Agent's Fee") under the terms of a letter (the "Administrative Agent's Letter") among the Borrowers and Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

	
 
	
9.12
	
No Reliance on Administrative Agent's Customer Identification Program.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender's, Affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the "CIP Regulations"), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws. 

130

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have.  Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Lender of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrowers shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the same results from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if the Borrowers were not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at their expense (except that the Borrowers shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrowers), or if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrowers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In addition, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, (subject to Section 10.18 for the avoidance of doubt, if applicable) agree to reimburse and pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent's regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of the Loan Parties' books, records and business properties, provided that such reimbursement obligation shall be limited to one (1) audit in each fiscal year so long as no Event of Default exists and is continuing.  This Section 10.3.2 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

	
 
	
10.3.3
	
Reimbursement and Indemnification of Lenders by the Borrowers.

The Borrowers, on a joint and several basis (subject to Section 10.18), agree unconditionally upon demand to pay or reimburse to each Lender (other than the Administrative Agent, as to which the Borrowers' Obligations are set forth in Section 10.3.2) and to save such Lender harmless against (i) liability for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for each Lender except with respect to (a) and (b) below), incurred by such Lender (a) in connection with the administration and interpretation of this Agreement, and other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (b) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (c) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and (d) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings, or (ii) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than taxes) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Lender, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Lender hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrowers shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (A) if the same results from such Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) if the Borrowers were not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at their expense (except that the 

134

Borrowers shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrowers), or (C) if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrowers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Lenders will attempt to minimize the fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Lenders which are subject to reimbursement by the Borrowers hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm to represent the Lenders and the Administrative Agent if appropriate under the circumstances.  This Section 10.3.3 shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

	
 
	
10.3.4
	
Reimbursement by Lenders.  

To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 10.3.1 or 10.3.2 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Ratable Share (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, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity. 

	
 
	
10.3.5
	
Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No indemnitee referred to in Section 10.3.2 or Section 10.3.3 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

	
 
	
10.3.6
	
Payments.  

All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor. 

	
 
	
10.4
	
Holidays.

Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next Business Day (except as provided in Section 3.2 with respect to Interest Periods under the Euro-Rate Option with respect to Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans) and such extension of time shall be included in 

135

computing interest and fees, except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day.  Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

	
 
	
10.5
	
Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

	
 
	
10.5.1
	
Notional Funding.

Each Lender shall have the right from time to time, without notice to the Borrowers, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of this Section 10.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with any corporation or association which directly or indirectly controls such Lender) of such Lender to have made, maintained or funded any Revolving Credit Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option and/or any Term Loan applies at any time, provided that immediately following (on the assumption that a payment were then due from the Borrowers to such other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrowers would not be under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 4.6 than it would have been in the absence of such change.  Notional funding offices may be selected by each Lender without regard to such Lender's actual methods of making, maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of funding actually used by or available to such Lender.

	
 
	
10.5.2
	
Actual Funding.

Each Lender shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain any Loan or Letter of Credit Borrowing by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.5.2.  If any Lender causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowing hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowing to the same extent as if such Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowing were made or maintained by such Lender, but in no event shall any Lender's use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans or Letter of Credit Borrowing hereunder cause such Lender or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrowers hereunder or require the Borrowers to pay any other compensation to any Lender (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 4.6) which would otherwise not be incurred.

	
 
	
10.6
	
Notices; Lending Offices.

Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication (for purposes of this Section 10.6 only, a "Notice") to be given to or made upon any party hereto under any provision of this Agreement shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which includes means of electronic transmission (i.e., "e-mail") or facsimile transmission or by setting forth such Notice on a site on the World Wide Web (a "Website Posting") if Notice of such Website 

136

Posting (including the information necessary to access such site) has previously been delivered to the applicable parties hereto by another means set forth in this Section 10.6) in accordance with this Section 10.6.  Any such Notice must be delivered to the applicable parties hereto at the addresses and numbers set forth under their respective names on Schedule 1.1(B) hereof or in accordance with any subsequent unrevoked Notice from any such party that is given in accordance with this Section 10.6.  Any Notice shall be effective:

Any Lender giving a Notice to a Loan Party shall concurrently send a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders of its receipt of such Notice.  Schedule 1.1(B) lists the Lending Offices of each Lender.  Each Lender may change its respective Lending Office by written Notice to the Administrative Agent and other Lenders. 

	
 
	
10.7
	
Severability.

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

	
 
	
10.8
	
Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York.  Each standby Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement shall be subject 

137

either to the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the "ICC") at the time of issuance ("UCP") or the rules of the International Standby Practices (ICC Publication Number 590) ("ISP98"), as determined by the Issuing Lender, and each trade Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement shall be subject to the UCP, and in each case to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the Laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

	
 
	
10.9
	
Prior Understanding.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto and thereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein, including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments.

	
 
	
10.10
	
Duration; Survival.

All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the making of Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the making of Loans, issuance of Letters of Credit, or payment in full of the Loans.  All covenants and agreements of the Loan Parties contained herein shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof so long as the Borrowers may borrow or request Letters of Credit hereunder and until termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Obligations (other than non-assessed contingent reimbursement obligations) and expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit.  Sections 4 and 10.3 shall survive payment in full of the Obligations, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of the Commitments.  In addition, all covenants and agreements of the Borrowers and the Lenders contained herein shall, if any related payment is later declared to be a fraudulent conveyance or a preference in any respect, set aside or required to be paid to a debtor in possession, any secured party, receiver or similar Person, or otherwise voided or nullified (a "Voided Payment"), be reinstated and deemed to have survived payment in full of the Obligations, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of the Commitments, to the extent such reinstatement and survival is necessary for the Administrative Agent to recover such Voided Payment.

	
 
	
10.11
	
Successors and Assigns.

	
 
	
10.11.1
	
Successors and Assigns Generally.  

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Company nor any other Loan Party (except with respect to any Loan Party, other than the Company, in a transaction not prohibited by this Agreement) may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11.2, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of 

138

Section 10.11.4, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.11.5 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  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, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.11.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

	
 
	
10.11.2
	
Assignments by Lenders.  

Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts.

(a)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(b)in any case not described in clause (i)(a) of this Section 10.11.2, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000.00, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender, or €5,000,000.00 in the case of the Term Loan Commitment or Term Loan of such assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and:

(a)the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to 

139

any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(b)the consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv)Assignment and Assumption Agreement.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent.

(v)No Assignment to Borrowers.  No such assignment shall be made to the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi)No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.11.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 3.4, 4.6 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.11.2 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 Section 10.11.4.

	
 
	
10.11.3
	
Register.  

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time.  Such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  Such register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

140

	
 
	
10.11.4
	
Participations.  

Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers' Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Lender 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 (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Section 10.1.1, 10.1.2 or 10.1.3) that directly affects such Participant.  Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, if applicable, be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.4, 4.6, 10.3 and 4.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.7) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.11.2; provided that (A) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.4.2 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.11.2; and (B) such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.4, 4.6 or 4.7, 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.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers' request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.4.2 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall, if applicable, be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.2.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.9 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person (other than the Borrowers) except to the extent that such disclosure is either necessary for such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation to be, or necessary to establish that such obligation is, in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.7, however, unless all information and documents required by Section 4.7 with respect to such Participant have been provided to the Borrower.  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 

141

Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 10.11.4 shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of the principal amounts of each such Participant's participant interest with respect to such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and shall obtain a Qualifying Lender Confirmation completed and signed by or on behalf of the Participant and shall procure an undertaking from the Participant that it will comply with the provisions of sub clauses (a) to (c) of Section 4.7.7(iii) as if it were a Lender.  Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any Participant that is a Farm Credit Lender that (i) has purchased a participation in a Dollar Equivalent minimum amount of $5,000,000.00 (ii) has been designated as a voting Participant (a "Voting Participant") in a notice (a "Voting Participant Notice") sent by the relevant Lender (including any existing Voting Participant) to the Administrative Agent and (iii) receives, prior to becoming a Voting Participant, the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (such consent to be required only to the extent and under the circumstances it would be required if such Voting Participant were to become a Lender pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 10.11.2 and such consent is not required for an assignment to an existing Voting Participant), shall be entitled to vote as if such Voting Participant were a Lender on all matters subject to a vote by Lenders, and the voting rights of the selling Lender (including any existing Voting Participant) shall be correspondingly reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  Each Voting Participant Notice shall include, with respect to each Voting Participant, the information that would be included by a prospective Lender in an Assignment and Assumption.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Lender designated as a Voting Participant in Schedule 10.11.4 shall be a Voting Participant without delivery of a Voting Participation Notification and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in Voting Participant Notices and all other notices delivered pursuant hereto.  The voting rights of each Voting Participant are solely for the benefit of such Voting Participant.

	
 
	
10.11.5
	
Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally.  

Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  

	
 
	
10.12
	
Confidentiality.

	
 
	
10.12.1
	
General.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority 

142

purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrowers or (viii) to the extent such Information (Y) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (Z) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.   With the prior written consent of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may publish customary advertising material relating to the transactions contemplated hereby using the name, product photographs, logo or trademark of such Loan Party. In addition, with the prior written consent of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments.

	
 
	
10.12.2
	
Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders.

Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Borrowers or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 10.12.1 as if it were a Lender hereunder.  Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans and other Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the issuer of Letters of Credit, solely on its own behalf, acknowledges that the information provided by the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and that, to the extent such Person has not opted out by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company from receiving any such material non-public information, such Person will take commercially reasonable measures to use such material non-public information in compliance with applicable Law according to its usual procedures for the handling of such information as in effect from time to time.

Whenever the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's consent is required to be obtained under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as a condition to any action, inaction, condition or event, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be authorized to give or withhold such consent in its sole and absolute discretion (unless otherwise specified herein) and to condition its consent upon the payment of money or any other matter.

USA Patriot Act.

Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United states or foreign county, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (2) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties (and any other Person that proposes or is required to join this Agreement as a Borrower or a Guarantor), which information includes the name and address of Loan Parties (or such Borrower or Guarantor) and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties (or such Borrower or Guarantor) in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.  Any Person that proposes or is required to join this Agreement as a Borrower or Guarantor shall provide any such required information to such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, at least 10 Business Days prior to the date of joinder.  

Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Laws, the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties and their directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties and the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Borrowers shall promptly provide, or cause to be provided, all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders, or any prospective assignee or participant of the Lenders in order to comply with any applicable Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism Laws, whether now or hereafter in existence; provided in each case, that in relation to any German Loan Party, compliance with 

145

any of the foregoing does not result in a violation of, or conflict with, Section 7 of the German Foreign Trade Ordinance (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung), Council Regulation (EC) No. 2271/96 or any similar anti-boycott statute.

	
 
	
10.18
	
Nature of Foreign Borrower Obligations.

(a)Notwithstanding the joint and several liability of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and notwithstanding any other provision herein and/or in any other Loan Document, and whether or not explicitly limited by reference to this Section, all obligations and liabilities of each Foreign Borrower under this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents on account of principal and interest under the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Borrowings and/or any Swap Obligations and/or any set off shall be limited to the principal amount advanced to such Foreign Borrower or its Subsidiaries and reimbursement of draws under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign Borrower or its Subsidiaries and, in each case, interest thereon or the Swap Obligations entered into by the respective Foreign Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries.  In addition, each such Foreign Borrower shall be liable only for its pro rata share of all fees, expenses, compensation and other sums due hereunder (other than principal on the Loans and reimbursement of draws under Letters of Credit and interest thereon) based upon the ratio of the sum of Loans outstanding to and Letters of Credit issued for such Foreign Borrower to the total amount of Loans outstanding and Letters of Credit issued hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any reimbursement or indemnification obligation arising from a breach of any representation, covenant, reporting requirement or other similar obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each such Foreign Borrower shall be liable only to the extent that such breach is in relation to such Foreign Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.  

(b)Any Foreign Borrower may from time to time deliver a termination notice to the Administrative Agent requesting that it no longer be a party hereto.  Such termination shall be effective two Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent so long as all obligations of such Foreign Borrower hereunder have been paid in full (including principal, interest and other amounts) and no Letter of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such Foreign Borrower is outstanding; provided that, to the extent this Agreement provides for the survival of certain provisions upon termination hereof, such surviving provisions shall survive a termination under this subsection with respect to any such Foreign Borrower.  Following receipt of such notice, no further Loans may be borrowed by such Foreign Borrower hereunder, unless such Foreign Borrower shall thereafter rejoin this Agreement as a Borrower pursuant to the joinder provisions of Section 7.1.10.

	
 
	
10.19
	
Pledge of Foreign Loan Party Loans.

(a)To secure all of the Obligations, each of the Loan Parties (other than the Foreign Loan Parties) hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in and to the following property of such Loan Party, whether now or hereafter existing, and wherever located (collectively, the "Pledged Collateral"):  (i) all loans and advances made by domestic Loan Parties to Foreign Loan Parties pursuant to Section 7.2.4(v)(d) (collectively, the "Pledged Loans"); (ii) all instruments, promissory notes, chattel paper, documents, certificates, securities and investment property 

146

evidencing such Pledged Loans; (iii) all Liens and other contracts securing or otherwise relating to such Pledged Loans; (iv) all books and records relating to such Pledged Loans and items of collateral described in the preceding clauses (ii) and (iii); and (v) all proceeds of such Pledged Loans and items of collateral described in the preceding clauses (ii) and (iii).

(b)In furtherance of the foregoing: (i) the Company, on behalf of the Loan Parties, shall promptly as practicable after the existence thereof, cause all of the Pledged Loans to be evidenced by a duly executed intercompany promissory note and deliver same to the Administrative Agent together with all other original items of Pledged Collateral of a type requiring possession by the Administrative Agent for perfection of the Administrative Agent's and Lenders' Lien under applicable Law, duly endorsed and dated in blank, if such endorsement is necessary or customary; and (ii) the Loan Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, to file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements naming each Loan Party holding Pledged Collateral as a debtor and describing the Pledged Collateral therein.  Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured creditor with respect to the Pledged Collateral under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, including without limitation the right to demand that payment of the Pledged Collateral be made directly to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, for application to the Obligations consistent with Section 8.2.5.

(c)If, after the pledge of Pledged Loans as contemplated in this Section 10.19, the Loan Parties have no outstanding loans and advances to Foreign Loan Parties and Foreign Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.2.4(v)(d), the Borrower Agent may provide to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying to such fact (including reasonable confirming calculations) and request that the Administrative Agent release such Pledged Loans.  The Administrative Agent shall thereafter effectuate such release by return of the original Pledged Collateral relating to such Pledged Loans to the Borrower Agent and amendment to any of its applicable Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.  Any such release shall be limited to the specific Pledged Loans released and shall not constitute a general release of the requirements of Section 7.2.4(v)(d) and this Section 10.19, which the Loan Parties shall be required to comply with at any time thereafter that the Loan Parties have any outstanding loans or advances to Foreign Loan Parties or Foreign Non-Loan Party Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.2.4(v)(d). 

	
 
	
10.20
	
Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable, (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; (ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares 

147

or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

	
 
	
10.21
	
Certain ERISA Matters.

(i)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(A)such Lender is not using "plan assets" (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

(B)the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,

(C)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a "Qualified Professional Asset Manager" (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of subsections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

(D)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(ii)In addition, unless either subclause (i)(A) in this Section 10.21 is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in subclause (i)(D) in this Section 10.21, such Lender further (x) represents 

148

and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

	
 
	
10.22
	
No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders (in such capacity) are arm's-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders (in such capacity), on the other hand, (B) each Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders (in such capacity) is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender (in such capacity) has any obligation to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders (in such capacity) and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and no Lender (in such capacity) has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers or their Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders (in such capacity) with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

*At any time of determination, pricing will be determined by reference to the higher (Level I being the highest) of the Leverage Ratio level and the Debt Ratings level.

*In the event the Company's Debt Rating is split-rated, pricing will be determined by the higher of the two ratings, except that if the ratings differ by more than one level, pricing will be determined by one level above the lower rating.  In the event that either Moody's or Standard & Poor's shall cease to provide a Debt Rating, pricing will be determined by reference to the Leverage Ratio.  

*Increases or decreases in pricing and fees pursuant to the grid above shall be (x) recomputed as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date based on the Leverage Ratio as of such quarter end and shall be effective on the date on which the Compliance Certificate evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under Section 7.3.3 and (y) recomputed and effective as of the date on which any Debt Rating of the Company shall change (if such change results in a change in the pricing Level).  If a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section 7.3.3, then the rates in Level V shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered.  

 

 

If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Company or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Company as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.9 or Section 4.3 or Section 9.  The Borrowers' obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

SCHEDULE 5.1.6
LITIGATION

The Company has been involved in significant litigation since 2008 pertaining to the Company's liability for environmental remediation and other costs at the Lower Fox River and Bay of Green Bay superfund site.

 

On January 3, 2019, the Company reported it had entered into a consent decree (the "Consent Decree") with the United States Government, the State of Wisconsin and Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products.  By entering into the Consent Decree, the Company expects to fully resolve its liability for matters at the site.  The Consent Decree is subject to approval by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

Under terms of the Consent Decree, the Company agreed to pay the governments $20.5 million to resolve all claims for past government cleanup, enforcement, oversight costs and natural resource damages.  The Company will also be responsible for payment of future oversight costs and will be primarily responsible to perform the long-term monitoring and maintenance work in certain portions of the site.

 

The Consent Decree was published in the Federal Register on January 31, 2019 and the comment period expires on March 4, 2019.  The Company believes the Consent Decree is likely to be approved but cannot predict the outcome with certainty.  To the extent the Consent Decree is not approved, this matter could, at any particular time or for any particular year or years, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, liquidity and/or results of operations or could result in a default under its debt covenants.

FORM OF
SECOND Amended and Restated CONTINUING AGREEMENT OF GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP

This Second Amended and Restated Continuing Agreement of Guaranty and Suretyship (the "Guaranty"), dated as of February 8, 2019, is jointly and severally given by each of the undersigned and each of the other Persons which become Guarantors hereunder from time to time (each a "Guarantor" and collectively the "Guarantors") in favor of PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (the "Administrative Agent") in connection with that Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among P. H. Glatfelter Company, a Pennsylvania corporation, the other Borrowers now or hereafter party thereto (collectively, the "Borrowers"), the Guarantors now or hereafter party thereto, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders now or hereafter party thereto (the "Lenders") (as amended, restated, modified, or supplemented from time to time hereafter, the "Credit Agreement").  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them by the Credit Agreement and the rules of construction set forth in Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Guaranty.

	
1.
	
Guaranteed Obligations.  To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make loans and grant other financial accommodations to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally (subject to Section 20, if applicable) unconditionally, and irrevocably, guaranties to the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any provider of a Lender Provided Hedge or Other Lender‐Provided Financial Service Products; and becomes surety, as though it was a primary obligor for, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether on demand, at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise and including any amounts which would become due but for the operation of an automatic stay under the federal bankruptcy code of the United States or any similar Laws of any country or jurisdiction) of all Obligations, and all extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals thereof, whether such Obligations are direct or indirect, secured or unsecured, joint or several, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, whether for payment or performance, now existing or hereafter arising (and including Obligations arising or accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor or which would have arisen or accrued but for the commencement of such proceeding, even if the claim for such Obligation is not enforceable or allowable in such proceeding, and including all Obligations arising from any extensions of credit under or in connection with the Loan Documents from time to time, regardless whether any such Obligations are in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents or are made in circumstances in which any condition to extension of credit is not satisfied) (all such Obligations are referred to, collectively, as the "Guaranteed Obligations" and each, as a "Guaranteed Obligation").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Guaranteed Obligations shall specifically exclude any and all Excluded Hedge Liabilities.  Without limitation of the foregoing, any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be and remain Guaranteed Obligations entitled to the benefit of this Guaranty if the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders (or any one or more assignees or transferees thereof) from time to time assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations under the Loan 

 

 

		
Documents, or any other Guaranteed Obligations, to any other Person, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Guarantor jointly and severally (subject to Section 20, if applicable) agrees as follows.

	
2.
	
Guaranty.  Each Guarantor hereby promises to pay and perform all such Guaranteed Obligations immediately upon demand of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any one or more of them at maturity or upon an Event of Default.  All payments made hereunder shall be made by each Guarantor in immediately available funds in United States Dollars and shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, withholding, or other deduction of any nature, except as may otherwise be required by Law.

	
3.
	
Obligations Absolute.  The Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise diminished by the failure, default, omission, or delay, willful or otherwise, by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any Borrower or any other obligor on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which would vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.  Each of the Guarantors agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent it can do so in accordance with applicable Law, each Guarantor hereby consents to, at any time and from time to time, and the joint and several (subject to Section 20, if applicable) Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be diminished, terminated, or otherwise similarly affected by any of the following:

	
(a)
	
Any lack of genuineness, legality, validity, enforceability or allowability (in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or otherwise), or any avoidance or subordination, in whole or in part, of any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations and to the fullest extent of the law regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any other Person with respect thereto;

	
(b)
	
Any increase, decrease, or change in the amount, nature, type or purpose of any of, or any release, surrender, exchange, compromise or settlement of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not contemplated by the Loan Documents as presently constituted); any change in the time, manner, method, or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any execution or delivery of any additional Loan Documents; or any amendment, modification or supplement to, or renewals, extensions, refinancing or refunding of, any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

	
(c)
	
Any failure to assert any breach of or default under any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any extensions of credit in excess of the amount committed under or contemplated by the Loan Documents, or in circumstances in which any condition to such extensions of credit has not been satisfied; any other exercise or non‐exercise, or any other failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action in connection with any exercise or non‐exercise, of any right or remedy against any Borrower or any other Person under or in 

2

 

		
connection with any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any refusal of payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not with any reservation of rights against any Guarantor; or any application of collections (including but not limited to collections resulting from realization upon any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations) to other obligations, if any, not entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty, in preference to Guaranteed Obligations entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty, or if any collections are applied to Guaranteed Obligations, any application to particular Guaranteed Obligations;

	
(d)
	
Any taking, exchange, amendment, modification, waiver, supplement, termination, subordination, compromise, release, surrender, loss, or impairment of, or any failure to protect, perfect, or preserve the value of, or any enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights, or remedies under or in connection with, or any failure, omission, breach, default, delay, or wrongful action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other Person in connection with the enforcement of, realization upon, or exercise of rights or remedies under or in connection with, or, any other action or inaction by any of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other Person in respect of, any direct or indirect security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.  As used in this Guaranty, "direct or indirect security" for the Guaranteed Obligations, and similar phrases, includes any collateral security, guaranty, suretyship, letter of credit, capital maintenance agreement, put option, subordination agreement, or other right or arrangement of any nature providing direct or indirect assurance of payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, made by or on behalf of any Person;

	
(e)
	
Any merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding‐up, charter revocation, or forfeiture, or other change in, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of, any Borrower or any other Person; any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Person; or any action taken or election made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited to any election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code), any Borrower, or any other Person in connection with any such proceeding;

	
(f)
	
Any defense, setoff, or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person with respect to any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or any discharge by operation of law or release of any Borrower or any other Person from the performance or observance of any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

	
(g)
	
Any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, and whether known or unknown, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or limit the liability of, any Guarantor, a guarantor or a surety, excepting in each such case full, strict, and indefeasible payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations in full.

Each Guarantor acknowledges, consents, and agrees that new Guarantors may join in this Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.1.10 of the Credit Agreement and each Guarantor affirms that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall continue undiminished.

3

 

	
4.
	
Waivers, etc.  Subject to Section 20, if applicable, to the fullest extent it can do so in accordance with applicable Law, each of the Guarantors hereby waives any defense to or limitation on its Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty arising out of or based on any event or circumstance referred to in Section 3 hereof.  Without limitation and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives each of the following:

	
(a)
	
All notices, disclosures and demand of any nature which otherwise might be required from time to time to preserve intact any rights against any Guarantor, including the following:  any notice of any event or circumstance described in Section 3 hereof; any notice required by any Law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction; any notice of nonpayment, nonperformance, dishonor, or protest under any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any notice of the incurrence of any Guaranteed Obligation; any notice of any default or any failure on the part of any Borrower or any other Person to comply with any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; and any notice of any information pertaining to the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Borrower or any other Person;

	
(b)
	
Any right to any marshalling of assets, to the filing of any claim against any Borrower or any other Person in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, or to the exercise against any Borrower or any other Person of any other right or remedy under or in connection with any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any requirement of promptness or diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, or any other Person; any requirement to exhaust any remedies under or in connection with, or to mitigate the damages resulting from default under, any Loan Document or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any direct or indirect security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; any benefit of any statute of limitations; and any requirement of acceptance of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, and any requirement that any Guarantor receive notice of any such acceptance;

	
(c)
	
Any defense or other right arising by reason of any Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction pertaining to election of remedies (including, but not limited to, anti‐deficiency laws, "one action" laws or the like), or by reason of any election of remedies or other action or inaction by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them (including but not limited to commencement or completion of any judicial proceeding or nonjudicial sale or other action in respect of collateral security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations), which results in denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, to seek a deficiency against any Borrower or any other Person or which otherwise discharges or impairs any of the Guaranteed Obligations; and

	
(d)
	
Any and all defenses it may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like.

5.Reinstatement.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Guarantors and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that no Guaranteed Obligations may be outstanding from time to time and notwithstanding any other event or circumstance.  Upon termination of all Commitments, the expiration of all Letters of Credit and indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than non‐assessed contingent reimbursement 

4

 

obligations), this Guaranty shall terminate; provided, however, that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded, recouped, avoided, or must otherwise be returned or released by any Lender or Administrative Agent upon or during the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of, or any similar proceeding affecting, any Borrower or for any other reason whatsoever, all as though such payment had not been made and was due and owing.

	
6.
	
Subrogation.  Each Guarantor waives and agrees it will not exercise any rights against any Borrower or any other Guarantor arising in connection with, or any collateral securing, the Guaranteed Obligations (including rights of subrogation, contribution, and the like) until the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, and all Commitments have been terminated and all Letters of Credit have expired.  If, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Guarantor by virtue of any right of subrogation, contribution, or the like, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and shall be held in trust for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

	
7.
	
No Stay.  If any declaration of default or acceleration or other exercise or condition to exercise of rights or remedies under or with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation shall at any time be stayed, enjoined, or prevented for any reason (including, but not limited to, stay or injunction resulting from the pendency against any Borrower or any other Person of a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding), the Guarantors agree that, for the purposes of this Guaranty and their Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to have been declared in default or accelerated, and such other exercise or conditions to exercise shall be deemed to have been taken or met.

	
8.
	
Taxes.  Each Guarantor agrees to comply with Section 4.7 of the Credit Agreement as applied to such Guarantor and the Guaranteed Obligations.

	
9.
	
Notices.  Each Guarantor agrees that all notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications under this Guaranty shall be given to such Guarantor at the address set forth on a Schedule to, or in a Guarantor Joinder and Assumption Agreement given under, the Credit Agreement and in the manner provided in Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may rely on any notice (whether or not made in a manner contemplated by this Guaranty) purportedly made by or on behalf of a Guarantor, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the identity or authority of the Person giving such notice.

	
10.
	
Counterparts; Telecopy Signatures.  This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy transmission to Administrative Agent or any Lender of signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Guarantor shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor agrees to be bound by Section 8.2.3 of the Credit Agreement as applied to such Guarantor.

13.
	
Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, and their successors and permitted assigns provided, however, that no Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein and any such purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void.

Each Guarantor further agrees that it shall, for so long as any Commitment, Letter of Credit or any Obligation of any Loan Party to the Lenders remains outstanding, continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this Section 14.  The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of Process Agent by the Guarantors and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Guarantors.  The Process Agent has an address of, on the date hereof, that of P. H. Glatfelter Company as reflected in the Credit Agreement.

	
15.
	
Severability; Modification to Conform to Law.

	
(a)
	
It is the intention of the parties that this Guaranty be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law, but that the unenforceability (or modification to conform to such Law) of any provision or provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder hereof.  If any provision in this Guaranty shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, this Guaranty shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed amended to modify or delete, as necessary, the offending provision or provisions and to alter the bounds thereof in order to render it or them valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or provisions in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

7

 

	
(b)
	
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.  For purposes hereof, "Bankruptcy Law" means any proceeding of the type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Proceeding in the Credit Agreement or Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

	
16.
	
Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

	
17.
	
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere in this Guaranty, this Guaranty shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to its full extent in accordance with its terms, as if this Section (and references elsewhere in this Guaranty to enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by Law) were not a part of this Guaranty, and in any related litigation the burden of proof shall be on the party asserting the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof or asserting any limitation on any Guarantor's Guaranteed Obligations hereunder as to each element of such assertion.

	
18.
	
Additional Guarantors.  At any time after the initial execution and delivery of this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, additional Persons may become parties to this Guaranty and thereby acquire the duties and rights of being Guarantors hereunder by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Guarantor Joinder and Assumption Agreement pursuant to the Credit Agreement.  No notice of the addition of any Guarantor shall be required to be given to any pre‐existing Guarantor and each Guarantor hereby consents thereto.

	
19.
	
Joint and Several Obligations.  Subject to Section 20 hereof, if applicable, the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty are joint and several obligations of the Guarantors, and each Guarantor hereby waives to the full extent permitted by Law any defense it may otherwise have to the payment and performance of the Obligations that its liability hereunder is limited and not joint and several.  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers and those set forth below serve as a material inducement to the agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make the Loans, and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on each specific waiver and all such waivers in entering into this Guaranty.  The undertakings of each Guarantor hereunder secure the Guaranteed Obligations of itself and the other Guarantors.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, may, in their sole discretion, elect to enforce this Guaranty against any 

8

 

		
Guarantor without any duty or responsibility to pursue any other Guarantor and such an election by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall not be a defense to any action the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, may elect to take against any Guarantor.  Each of the Lenders and Administrative Agent hereby reserve all right against each Guarantor.

	
20.
	
Obligations of Foreign Guarantors.

	
(a)
	
Notwithstanding the joint and several liability of the Guarantors organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (each, a "Foreign Guarantor") under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document and whether or not explicitly limited by reference to this Section, all Guaranteed Obligations of each Foreign Guarantor under this Guaranty and any other Loan Documents on account of principal and interest under the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and Letters of Credit Borrowings and/or any Swap Obligations shall be limited to the principal amount advanced to such Foreign Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and reimbursement of draws under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and, in each case, interest thereon or the Swap Obligations entered into by the respective Foreign Guarantors or any of the Subsidiaries.  Each Foreign Guarantor shall be liable only for its pro rata share of all fees and expenses and other sums due hereunder (other than principal and interest on the Loans) based upon the ratio of the sum of Loans outstanding to and Letters of Credit issued for such Foreign Guarantor to the total amount of Loans outstanding and Letters of Credit issued hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any reimbursement or indemnification obligation arising from a breach of any representation, covenant, reporting requirement or other similar obligation under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, each Foreign Guarantor shall be liable only to the extent that such breach is in relation to such Foreign Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

	
(b)
	
Any Foreign Guarantor may from time to time deliver a termination notice to the Administrative Agent requesting that it no longer be a party to this Guaranty.  Such termination shall be effective two Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent so long as all Guaranteed Obligations for which such Foreign Guarantor is liable pursuant to Section 20(a) above have been paid in full (including principal, interest and other amounts) and no Letter of Credit issued for the account or benefit of such Foreign Guarantor is outstanding; provided that, to the extent this Guaranty provides for the survival of certain provisions upon termination hereof, such surviving provisions shall survive a termination under this subsection with respect to any such Foreign Guarantor.

	
21.
	
Receipt of Credit Agreement, Other Loan Documents, Benefits.

	
(a)
	
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Guarantor certifies that the representations and warranties made therein with respect to such Guarantor are true and correct.  Further, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees to perform, comply with, and be bound by all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9

 

	
(b)
	
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges, represents, and warrants that it receives synergistic benefits by virtue of its affiliation with Borrowers and the other Guarantors and that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that such benefits, together with the rights of contribution and subrogation that may arise in connection herewith are a reasonably equivalent exchange of value in return for providing this Guaranty.

	
22.
	
Miscellaneous.

	
(a)
	
Generality of Certain Terms.  As used in this Guaranty, the terms "hereof," "herein," and terms of similar import refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular term or provision; the term "including," as used herein, is not a term of limitation and means "including without limitation".

	
(b)
	
Amendments, Waivers.  No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless in a writing manually signed by each Guarantor and by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  No delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, in exercising any right or remedy under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available hereunder, under any other agreement or instrument, by law, or otherwise.

	
(c)
	
Telecommunications.  Each Lender and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any individual making any telecopy, electronic or telephonic notice, request, or signature without the necessity of receipt of any verification thereof.

	
(d)
	
Expenses.  Subject to Section 20, if applicable, each Guarantor unconditionally agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor and each Guarantor shall pay and indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses in accordance with and subject to the provisions of, mutatis mutandis, Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement.

	
(e)
	
Prior Understandings.  This Guaranty and the Credit Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all other prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements.

	
(f)
	
Survival.  All representations and warranties of the Guarantors made in connection with this Guaranty shall survive, and shall not be waived by, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, any investigation by or knowledge of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, any extension of credit, or any other event or circumstance whatsoever.

10

 

	
(g)
	
Amendment and Restatement; No Novation.  Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Continuing Agreement of Guaranty and Suretyship, dated as of March 12, 2015, made by the guarantors party thereto in favor of the Administrative Agent, as heretofore amended (as so amended, the "Existing Guaranty Agreement").  The Existing Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as provided herein, and this Guaranty is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, an interruption, suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge of prior duties, novation, or termination of the indebtedness, loans, liabilities, expenses, or guaranteed obligations under the Existing Guaranty Agreement.  Each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that the Existing Guaranty Agreement has continued to guaranty the indebtedness, loans, liabilities, expenses, and obligations thereunder since the date of execution of the Existing Guaranty Agreement; and that this Guaranty is entitled to all rights and benefits originally pertaining to the Existing Guaranty Agreement.
