In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows: 
1.The third sentence of the second paragraph of Section 4.6, Severance Agreement and Release, shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:
“If Executive delivers the original, signed Release to the Company prior to the expiration of the Consideration Period and does not thereafter revoke such Release within the seven-day period immediately following the Consideration Period as provided therefor under applicable law (such seven-day period, the “Revocation Period”), Executive shall, subject to Section 4.7 below, be entitled to the Severance Installments, Severance Bonus and Benefits Payments as described in Section 4.2 (including by reason of Section 4.3, if applicable) or the Severance Amount described in Section 4.4(c), as applicable.   
2.    Section 6.14, Compliance with Section 409A, is hereby amended by the addition of the following at the end thereof:
“The following provisions of this Section 6.14 shall apply to (a) any Severance Installment otherwise payable within 60 days following the date of termination of Executive’s employment (such 60-day period, the “Initial Payment Period”), (b) the Severance Bonus, and (c) the Severance Amount, but only to the extent that such Severance Installment, Severance Bonus or Severance Amount constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to the provisions of Section 409A (collectively, the “Initial Payments”).

Rule”).  Subject to Section 4.8, (i) any Severance Installment that would be payable prior to the expiration of the Revocation Period but for the requirements of Section 4.6 and thereafter becomes payable upon satisfaction of the requirements of such section shall be paid to Executive on the first date during the Initial Payment Period following expiration of the Revocation Period on which a Severance Installment otherwise becomes payable (but not later than the last day of the Initial Payment Period and subject to clause (ii) of this sentence), and (ii) any Severance Installment that would be payable during the First Taxable Year but for the Straddle Rule shall paid on the first date during the Initial Payment Period on which a Severance Installment otherwise becomes payable during the Second Taxable Year (or, if no such date occurs, on the first business day of the Second Taxable Year).

3.    Except as amended by the preceding provisions of this Amendment, the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect according to its terms.
4.    This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of California, without reference to principles of conflict of laws.

Each such Term Loan Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the Minimum Currency Threshold.
(c)    The Agent shall give to each applicable Lender prompt notice of the Agent’s receipt of a Borrowing Request and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans are properly requested in such Borrowing Request, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.11(a).

(d)    
(e)    Unless the Agent and, in the case of any proposed Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date or, in the case of the Additional U.S. Term C Loans, on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, or, in the case of the U.S. Term D Loans, on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Agent and, with respect to any proposed Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date or, in the case of the Additional U.S. Term C Loans, on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, or, in the case of the U.S. Term D Loans, on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.02 and the Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger, as the case may be, may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger, as the case may be, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent or such Joint Lead Arranger, at (i) in the case of a Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Interbank Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.  If such Lender shall repay to the Agent or the applicable Joint Lead Arranger such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.  If the applicable Borrower shall repay to the Agent or the applicable Joint Lead Arranger such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to such Borrower.
(f)    The failure of any Lender to make on the date specified any Loan or any payment required by it (such Lender, during the period of such failure, being a “Non-Funding Lender”), including any payment in respect of its participation in Swingline Loans and Revolving Letters of Credit, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03    Swingline Loans.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the U.S. Swingline Lender agrees to make U.S. Swingline loans in Dollars (individually, a “U.S. Swingline Loan” and collectively, the “U.S. Swingline Loans”) to the U.S. Borrower from time to time following the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date for the U.S. Revolving Facility in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all U.S. Swingline Loans shall not exceed $150.0 million (the “U.S. Swingline Sublimit”) at any one time outstanding, (ii) the principal amount of any borrowing of U.S. Swingline Loans may not exceed the aggregate amount of the U.S. Available Revolving Credit of all U.S. Revolving Lenders immediately prior to such borrowing or result in the Revolving Credit Outstandings under all Revolving Facilities then outstanding exceeding the Revolving Commitments then in effect under all Revolving Facilities, (iii) in no event may U.S. Swingline Loans be borrowed hereunder if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iv) the U.S. Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make U.S. Swingline Loans if any U.S. Revolving Lender is then a Defaulting Lender, unless the U.S. Swingline Lender is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the U.S. Revolving Commitments of non-Defaulting Lenders and participating interests in any such newly made U.S. Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.04(n) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).  Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.03 may be repaid and, up to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date for the latest maturing U.S. Revolving Commitments under the U.S. Revolving Facility, reborrowed.  All U.S. Swingline Loans shall at all times be Base Rate Loans.  The U.S. Borrower shall give the U.S. Swingline Lender and the Agent notice of any U.S. Swingline Loan requested hereunder (which notice must be received by the U.S. Swingline Lender and the Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date and (C) the account or accounts in to which the proceeds of such U.S. Swingline Loans are to be deposited.  Not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in such notice, the U.S. Swingline Lender shall make such U.S. Swingline Loan available to the Agent for the account of the U.S. Borrower at the Agent’s Office in funds immediately available to the Agent.

Each Borrowing of U.S. Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Canadian Swingline Lender agrees to make swingline loans in Canadian Dollars (individually, a “Canadian Swingline Loan” and collectively, the “Canadian Swingline Loans”) to the Canadian Borrower from time to time following the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date for the Canadian Revolving Facility in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Canadian Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $10.0 million (the “Canadian Swingline Sublimit”) at any one time outstanding, (ii) the principal amount of any borrowing of Canadian Swingline Loans may not exceed the aggregate amount of the Canadian Revolving Available Credit of all Canadian Revolving Lenders immediately prior to such borrowing or result in the Revolving Credit Outstandings under all Revolving Facilities then outstanding exceeding the Revolving Commitments then in effect under all Revolving Facilities, (iii) in no event may Canadian Swingline Loans be borrowed hereunder if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (iv) the Canadian Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make Canadian Swingline Loans if any Canadian Revolving Lender is then a Defaulting Lender, unless the Canadian Swingline Lender shall be satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Canadian Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lender and participating interests in any such newly made Canadian Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.04(n) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).  Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.03 may be repaid and, up to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date for the Canadian Revolving Facility, reborrowed.  All Canadian Swingline Loans shall at all times be Canadian Base Rate Loans.  The Canadian Borrower shall give the Canadian Swingline Lender and the Agent notice of any Canadian Swingline Loan requested hereunder (which notice must be received by the Canadian Swingline Lender and the Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date and (C) the account or accounts in to which the proceeds of such Swingline Loans are to be deposited.

New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in such notice, the Canadian Swingline Lender shall make such Canadian Swingline Loan available to the Agent for the account of the Canadian Borrower at the Agent’s Office in funds immediately available to the Agent.  Amounts so received by the Agent will promptly be made available to the Canadian Borrower by the Agent crediting the account of the Canadian Borrower on the books of such office with the amount made available to the Agent by the Canadian Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Canadian Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of a Revolving LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) and in like funds as received by the Agent.  Each Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be in a minimum principal amount of C$500,000 or an integral multiple of C$100,000 in excess thereof.
(b)    Notwithstanding the occurrence of any Default or noncompliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the minimum borrowing amounts specified in Section 2.02, if any U.S. Swingline Loan shall remain outstanding at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the tenth Business Day following the Borrowing Date thereof and if by such time on such tenth Business Day the Agent shall have received neither (i) a Borrowing Request delivered by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 requesting that Revolving Loans in Dollars be made pursuant to Section 2.01 on the immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of such U.S. Swingline Loan, nor (ii) any other notice satisfactory to the Agent indicating the U.S. Borrower’s intent to repay such U.S. Swingline Loan on the immediately succeeding Business Day with funds obtained from other sources, the Agent shall be deemed to have received a notice from the U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 requesting that Base Rate U.S. Revolving Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) on such immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount equal to the amount of such U.S. Swingline Loan, and the procedures set forth in Section 2.02 shall be followed in making such Base Rate U.S. Revolving Loans; provided that for the purposes of determining each U.S. Revolving Lender’s Commitment with respect to such Borrowing, the U.S. Swingline Loan to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be deemed to not be outstanding.  The proceeds of such Base Rate U.S. Revolving Loans shall be applied to repay such U.S. Swingline Loan.  Notwithstanding the occurrence of any Default or noncompliance with the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the minimum borrowing amounts specified in Section 2.02, if any Canadian Swingline Loan shall remain outstanding at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the tenth Business Day following the Borrowing Date thereof and if by such time on such tenth Business Day the Agent shall have received neither (i) a Borrowing Request delivered by the Canadian Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 requesting that Revolving Loans in Canadian Dollars be made pursuant to Section 2.01 on the immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Canadian Swingline Loan, nor (ii) any other notice satisfactory to the Agent indicating the Canadian Borrower’s intent to repay such Canadian Swingline Loan on the immediately succeeding Business Day with funds obtained from other sources, the Agent shall be deemed to have received a notice from the Canadian Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 requesting that Canadian Base Rate Canadian Revolving Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) on such immediately succeeding Business Day in an amount equal to the amount of such Canadian Swingline Loan, and the procedures set forth in Section 2.02 shall be followed in making such Canadian Revolving Loans; provided that for the purposes of determining each Canadian Revolving Lender’s Commitment with respect to such Borrowing, the Canadian Swingline Loan to be repaid with the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be deemed to not be outstanding.  The proceeds of such Canadian Revolving Loans shall be applied to repay such Canadian Swingline Loan.
(c)    If, for any reason, Base Rate U.S. Revolving Loans may not be, or are not, made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) to repay any U.S. Swingline Loan as required by such paragraph, effective on the date such Base Rate U.S. Revolving Loans would otherwise have been made, each U.S. Revolving Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall, without regard to the occurrence of any Default, purchase a participating interest in such U.S. Swingline Loan (an “Unrefunded U.S. Swingline Loan”) in an amount equal to such U.S. Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate amount of the Base Rate U.S. Revolving Loan which would otherwise have been made pursuant to Section 2.03(b).  Each U.S. Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such participations shall be distributed by the Agent to the U.S. Swingline Lender.  All payments by the U.S. Revolving Lenders in respect of Unrefunded U.S. Swingline Loans and participations therein shall be made in accordance with Section 2.13.  If, for any reason, Canadian Revolving Loans may not be, or are not, made pursuant to Section 2.03(b) to repay any Canadian Swingline Loan as required by such paragraph, effective on the date such Canadian Revolving Loans would otherwise have been made, each Canadian Revolving Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably 

agrees that it shall, without regard to the occurrence of any Default, purchase a participating interest in such Canadian Swingline Loan (an “Unrefunded Canadian Swingline Loan”) in an amount equal to such Canadian Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate amount of the Canadian Revolving Loan which would otherwise have been made pursuant to Section 2.03(b).  Each Canadian Revolving Lender will immediately transfer to the Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such participations shall be distributed by the Agent to the Canadian Swingline Lender.  All payments by the Canadian Revolving Lenders in respect of Unrefunded Canadian Swingline Loans and participations therein shall be made in accordance with Section 2.13.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, a U.S. Revolving Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a U.S. Swingline Loan pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such U.S. Swingline Loan was made and such Lender shall have notified the U.S. Swingline Lender in writing, prior to the time such U.S. Swingline Loan was made, that such Default has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in U.S. Swingline Loans made while such Default is continuing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Canadian Revolving Lender shall not have any obligation to acquire a participation in a Canadian Swingline Loan pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs if a Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Canadian Swingline Loan was made and such Lender shall have notified the Canadian Swingline Lender in writing, prior to the time such Canadian Swingline Loan was made, that such Default has occurred and that such Lender will not acquire participations in Canadian Swingline Loans made while such Default is continuing.
SECTION 2.04    Letters of Credit.
(a)    General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) the U.S. Borrower may request, including on behalf of any Restricted Subsidiary, the issuance of (and the LC Facility Issuing Bank shall issue) LC Facility Letters of Credit, at any time and from time to time during the LC Facility Availability Period, (ii) any Borrower may request (and the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue) the issuance of standby Revolving Letters of Credit under any Revolving Facility with respect to which it is a Borrower at any time and from time to time from and after the Closing Date to but excluding the applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date for the latest maturing Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility and (iii) the U.S. Borrower may request (and the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue) the issuance of commercial Revolving Letters of Credit under the U.S. Revolving Facility at any time and from time to time from and after the Closing Date to but excluding the applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date for the latest maturing Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility, in each case for the account of such Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent (in the case of standby Revolving Letters of Credit and LC Facility Letters of Credit) and the relevant Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as the case may be.  Any Revolving Letter of Credit issued under any Revolving Facility may be denominated in any currency selected by the applicable Borrower in which Revolving Loans may be made under such Revolving Facility.  For purposes hereof, a standby Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the U.S. Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that is denominated in Dollars shall at all times and from time to time be deemed to be an LC Facility Letter of Credit unless after giving effect to the issuance of such LC Facility Letter of Credit, (i) the LC Facility LC Exposure would exceed the Total LC Facility Deposit or (ii) the aggregate amount of Later Expiring LC Facility Deposits would be less than the sum, without duplication, of (A) the aggregate face amount of the Later Expiring LC Facility Letters of Credit and (B) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed LC Facility LC Disbursements in respect of the Later Expiring LC Facility Letters of Credit.  In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by such Borrower to, or entered into by such Borrower with, an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.  The Existing Letters of Credit that are denominated in Dollars shall be deemed to be “LC Facility Letters of Credit” for all purposes hereof.  All Letters of Credit outstanding under the Original Canadian Revolving Commitments immediately prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date shall be deemed to be “Revolving Letters of Credit” issued under the Canadian Revolving Facility on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date for all purposes hereof.  
(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter 

of Credit), the requesting Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable) to the applicable Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, and, in the case of standby Revolving Letters of Credit and LC Facility Letters of Credit, the Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying (A) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.04(c), (C) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (D) the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which shall comply with Section 2.04(a)), (E) if such Letter of Credit is a Revolving Letter of Credit, the Revolving Facility under which such Letter of Credit is to be issued and whether such Revolving Letter of Credit is a commercial or standby Revolving Letter of Credit, (F) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and (G) such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, the requesting Borrower shall also submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s or the LC Facility Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall not be issued, amended, renewed or extended if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the requesting Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (x) with respect to Revolving Letters of Credit, (I) the Revolving Credit Outstandings (it being understood that with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letters of Credit under the U.S. Revolving Facility, commercial Revolving Letters of Credit having a Revolving LC Exposure of $15.0 million shall at all times be deemed to be outstanding) under all Revolving Facilities would exceed the Revolving Commitments under all Revolving Facilities, (II) the Revolving Available Credit under the applicable Revolving Facility would be less than zero, (III) with respect to any commercial Revolving Letters of Credit, the aggregate Revolving LC Exposure in respect of commercial Revolving Letters of Credit would exceed $15.0 million or (IV) the Revolving LC Exposure under all Revolving Facilities would exceed $250.0 million and (y) with respect to LC Facility Letters of Credit either (I) the LC Facility LC Exposure would exceed the Total LC Facility Deposit or (II) if any Later Expiring LC Facility Letter of Credit is then outstanding, the Later Expiring LC Facility Deposits would be less than the sum, without duplication, of (A) the aggregate face amount of the Later Expiring LC Facility Letters of Credit and (B) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed LC Facility LC Disbursements in respect of the Later Expiring LC Facility Letters of Credit.  Upon the issuance of any standby Letter of Credit or increase in the amount of a standby Letter of Credit, the U.S. Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent thereof.  Additionally, no Revolving Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, extend or renew any Revolving Letter of Credit issued pursuant to (x) any Revolving Facility if any Revolving Lender under such Revolving Facility is then a Defaulting Lender, unless such Revolving Issuing Bank shall be satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral shall be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.04(n) and participating interests in any such newly issued Revolving Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.04(n) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein) or (y) the U.S. Revolving Facility if the expiration date of such Revolving Letter of Credit is after the Scheduled Termination Date for any U.S. Revolving Commitment which may then be outstanding unless the U.S. Borrower has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks to eliminate the potential for an Issuing Bank to have uncovered exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit following the date of termination of any such U.S. Revolving Commitment.  Each Issuing Bank and the LC Facility Issuing Bank will also furnish to the Agent an activity report (which shall consist of, with respect to commercial Letters of Credit, the net aggregate daily amount available to be drawn plus bankers’ acceptances or deferred undertakings (in each case, not constituting reimbursement obligations under clause (e) of this Section 2.04) that were created upon presentation under such Letters of Credit (the “Net Daily Amount”) at the end of each day) with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by it no later than five Business Days following the end of each calendar quarter and on any other date reasonably requested by the Agent.   Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Citibank, N.A. be required to issue, renew, amend or extend any Letter of Credit (including any Existing Letter of Credit) under this Agreement.
(c)    Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension; provided that, if the 

requesting Borrower and the Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, so agree, any Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal of such Letter of Credit for successive one year terms (subject to clause (ii)) and (ii) (x) with respect to any Revolving Letter of Credit, the date that is five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date for the latest maturing Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility under which such Revolving Letter of Credit is issued and (y) with respect to any LC Facility Letter of Credit, the date that is the last day of the LC Facility Availability Period; provided (i) that no Later Expiring LC Facility Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, extended or renewed unless, after giving effect thereto,  the aggregate amount of the Later Expiring LC Facility Deposits would be not less than the sum, without duplication, of (A) the aggregate face amount of the Later Expiring LC Facility Letters of Credit and (B) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed LC Facility LC Disbursements in respect of the Later Expiring LC Facility Letters of Credit.
(d)    Participations.
(i)    By the issuance of a Revolving Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Revolving Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) pursuant to any Revolving Facility and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank issuing such Revolving Letter of Credit or the Revolving Lenders under such Revolving Facility, each Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender under such Revolving Facility, and each such Revolving Lender hereby acquires from each Issuing Bank, a participation in each such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of each Revolving LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank with respect to any Revolving Letter of Credit issued pursuant to any Revolving Facility under which such Lender holds a Revolving Commitment and not reimbursed by a Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.04(e) or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower.  Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.04(d) in respect of Revolving Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Revolving Facility under which such Lender holds Revolving Commitments is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Revolving Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(ii)    By the issuance of an LC Facility Letter of Credit (or an amendment to an LC Facility Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), without any further action on the part of the LC Facility Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Lenders, the LC Facility Issuing Bank hereby grants to each LC Facility Lender, and each LC Facility Lender hereby acquires from the LC Facility Issuing Bank, a participation in each LC Facility Letter of Credit equal to such LC Facility Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such LC Facility Letter of Credit.  The aggregate purchase price for the participations of each LC Facility Lender in LC Facility Letters of Credit shall equal the amount of the LC Facility Deposit of such LC Facility Lender.  Each LC Facility Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees that if the LC Facility Issuing Bank makes an LC Facility LC Disbursement which is not reimbursed by the U.S. Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.04(e), or is required to refund any reimbursement payment in respect of an LC Facility LC Disbursement to the U.S. Borrower for any reason, the LC Facility Agent shall reimburse the LC Facility Issuing Bank for the amount of such LC Facility LC Disbursement from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in accordance with Section 2.04(e)(iii).  Each LC Facility Lender acknowledges and agrees that its authorization granted hereby and obligations hereunder are unconditional and irrevocable and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any LC Facility Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or the return of the LC Facility Deposits.  Without limiting the foregoing, the LC Facility Lenders irrevocably authorize the LC Facility Agent to apply the LC Facility Deposits as provided in this Section 2.04(d)(ii).  As provided in the definition of “Ratable Portion”, it is agreed that the respective Ratable Portions of each LC Facility Lender shall be subject to adjustment on each date on which LC Facility Deposits are returned to any LC Facility Lender hereunder and under other circumstances described therein in connection with the issuance or existence of Later Expiring LC Facility Letters of Credit.

(e)    Reimbursement.
(i)    If an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by it, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent (in respect of LC Disbursements under any standby Revolving Letter of Credit or any LC Facility Letter of Credit) or the Issuing Bank (in respect of commercial Revolving Letters of Credit) an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in the currency in which such LC Disbursement is denominated not later than the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives notice that an LC Disbursement has been made; provided that, so long as no Default is continuing of which the Agent has been notified and subject to the availability of unused Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility, the U.S. Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, each Issuing Bank, the Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that in the event an Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement under a Revolving Letter of Credit issued pursuant to the U.S. Revolving Facility or the Canadian Revolving Facility and the applicable Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount when due pursuant to this Section 2.04(e)(i) (of which circumstance, in respect of LC Disbursements under commercial Revolving Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank for such commercial Revolving Letter of Credit shall have given notice to the Agent), such unreimbursed LC Disbursement and all obligations of such Borrower relating thereto shall be satisfied when due and payable by the borrowing of one or more Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, that are Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, in an amount equal to such unreimbursed LC Disbursement which the U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Borrower hereby acknowledge are requested and the U.S. Revolving Lenders and the Canadian Revolving Lenders hereby agree to fund; provided, further, that prior to any such Revolving Loans being made, the Agent may, but shall not be required to, confirm with the U.S. Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are met, and if the U.S. Borrower does not confirm that such condition shall be met then the Agent shall be under no obligation to cause such U.S. Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans to be made.
(ii)    If a Borrower fails to make any payment due under Section 2.04(e)(i) with respect to a Revolving Letter of Credit when due, the Agent shall notify (in respect of LC Disbursements under commercial Revolving Letters of Credit, to the extent the Issuing Bank notifies the Agent of such failure) each Revolving Lender the applicable Revolving Facility of the applicable Revolving LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Ratable Portion thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Agent its Ratable Portion of the payment then due from such Borrower in the currency in which such payment is due, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that has made the Revolving LC Disbursement the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any Revolving LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Revolving Loans or Canadian Base Rate Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(iii)    If the U.S. Borrower fails to make any payment due under Section 2.04(d)(i) with respect to an LC Facility Letter of Credit (or if the LC Facility Issuing Bank would be required to make an LC Facility LC Disbursement and so requests), the Agent shall notify each LC Facility Lender of the applicable LC Facility LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the U.S. Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Ratable Portion thereof, and the LC Facility Agent shall promptly pay to the LC Facility Issuing Bank each LC Facility Lender’s Ratable Portion of such LC Facility LC Disbursement from the LC Facility Deposits.  Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment by or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower in respect of any LC Facility LC Disbursement, the Agent shall distribute such payment to the LC Facility Issuing Bank or, to the extent payments have been made from the LC Facility Deposits, to the LC Facility Agent to be added to the LC Facility Deposits of the LC Facility Lenders in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in accordance with their respective Ratable Portions.  The U.S. Borrower acknowledges that each payment made pursuant to this Section 2.04(e)(iii) in respect of any LC Facility LC 

Disbursement is required to be made for the benefit of the distributees indicated in the immediately preceding sentence.  Any payment made from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, or from funds of the LC Facility Agent, pursuant to this paragraph or Section 2.18(c) to pay the LC Facility Issuing Bank for any LC Facility LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the U.S. Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)    Obligations Absolute.  The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.04(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (except as otherwise provided below), or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.04, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s or such LC Facility Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).  Neither the Agent, the LC Facility Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks nor the LC Facility Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s or such LC Facility Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures.  An Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, subject to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  An Issuing Bank (other than in respect of commercial Letters of Credit) or the LC Facility Issuing Bank as applicable, shall promptly notify the Agent and the Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower by telephone of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank or such LC Facility Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders or LC Facility Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h)    Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear 

interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date Borrower (or any other account party) reimburses such LC Disbursement, at (1) in the case of a Revolving LC Disbursement in Dollars, the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans, (2) in the case of a Revolving LC Disbursement in Canadian Dollars, the rate per annum then applicable to Canadian Base Rate Revolving Loans, (3) in the case of Revolving LC Disbursements in any currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars, the rate per annum that would be applicable to a Eurocurrency Rate Term Loan denominated in such currency with a one month Interest Period commencing on the date of such LC Disbursement, and (4)(A) in the case of the portion of any LC Facility LC Disbursement representing any LC Facility Participation pursuant to the LC-1 Facility Deposits, the rate per annum that would be applicable to Eurocurrency Rate U.S. Term Loans, (B) in the case of the portion of any LC Facility LC Disbursement representing any LC Facility Participation pursuant to any LC-2 Facility Deposits, the rate per annum that would be applicable to Eurocurrency Rate U.S. Term B Loans and  (C) in the case of the portion of any LC Facility LC Disbursement representing any LC Facility Participation pursuant to any LC-3 Facility Deposits, the rate per annum that would be applicable to Eurocurrency Rate U.S. Term C Loans, in each case with a one month Interest Period commencing on the date of such LC Disbursement; provided that, if a Borrower fails to reimburse (or cause another account party to reimburse) such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.04(e), then Section 2.11(c) shall apply from such due date until such reimbursement is made.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank making such LC Disbursement or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(e)(ii) to reimburse an Issuing Bank or from the LC Facility Deposit of any LC Facility Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(e)(iii) to reimburse the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i)    Replacement of Issuing Banks and the LC Facility Issuing Bank;  Limitation on obligations of LC Facility Agent, Issuing Banks and LC Facility Issuing Bank to Act in Such Capacities.
(i)    An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the U.S. Borrower, the Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank.  The Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, each Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10.  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (1) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (2) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to amend or extend any previously issued Letters of Credit.  
(ii)    The LC Facility Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the U.S. Borrower, the Agent, the replaced LC Facility Issuing Bank and the successor LC Facility Issuing Bank.  The Agent shall notify the LC Facility Lenders of any such replacement of the LC Facility Issuing Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, each Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced LC Facility Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(c).  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (1) the successor LC Facility Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the LC Facility Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (2) references herein to the term “LC Facility Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous LC Facility Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous LC Facility Issuing Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of the LC Facility Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced LC Facility Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the LC Facility Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to LC Facility Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional LC Facility Letters of Credit or to amend or extend any previously issued Letters of Credit.
(iii)    NothwithstandingNotwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the LC Facility Agent, and the LC Facility Issuing Bank, by notice to the Borrower, shall have the right 

to decline to act in such capacity for any LC Facility Deposits established after the Restatement Effective Date with a LC Facility Maturity Date that is after the LC-2 Facility Maturity Date and (ii) each Issuing Bank shall each have the right, by notice to the Borrower to decline to act as an Issuing Bank for any New Revolving Facility established following the Restatement Effective Date with a Scheduled Termination Date after the Scheduled Termination Date for the Revolving Facilities in effect on the Restatement Effective Date.  In the event any LC Facility Agent, LC Issuing Bank or Issuing Bank declines to act in such capacity, the Borrower may, with the consent of the replacement LC Facility Agent, LC Issuing Bank or Issuing Bank, as applicable, appoint a financial institution reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to act in such capacity for such New LC Facility Deposits or Revolving Facility, as applicable.
(j)    Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the U.S. Borrower receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, LC Facility Lenders with LC Facility LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Facility LC Exposure and/or Revolving Lenders with Revolving LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Revolving LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or if a Borrower is required to cash collateralize Revolving Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.09(e), each Borrower shall deposit in one or more accounts which shall by established at such time by the Agent, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the LC Facility Issuing Bank, an amount in cash in the currency in which the applicable LC Facility LC Exposure and/or Revolving LC Exposure, as applicable, is denominated equal to the LC Facility LC Exposure and/or the Revolving LC Exposure, as applicable, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Borrower for which such Letter of Credit was issued.  Each such deposit shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect to such LC Facility LC Exposure and/or Revolving LC Exposure and shall be invested in short term cash equivalents selected by the Agent in its sole discretion (it being understood that the Agent shall in no event be liable for the selection of such cash equivalents or for investment losses with respect thereto, including losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of such cash equivalents prior to stated maturity).  The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable, for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrowers for the LC Facility LC Exposure and/or Revolving LC Exposure, as applicable, at such time.  If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower promptly and in any event within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.05(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, such Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.05(c) and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(k)    Assignment.  The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the entity acting as Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank, in its capacity as such, may, without the consent of any party hereto, assign to an Affiliate all right, title and interest of  (the “Affiliate Assigned Rights”) in, to and under any and all obligations of the Borrowers under Section 2.04(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Revolving LC Disbursements or the LC Facility Issuing Bank for LC Facility LC Disbursements (the “Reimbursement Obligations”), (b) in respect of all such Reimbursement Obligations constituting Affiliate Assigned Rights, for all purposes of this Agreement such Affiliate shall be deemed the “Issuing Bank” or the “LC Facility Issuing Bank,” as applicable, (c) the obligations of the Revolving Lenders and Borrowers to the Issuing Bank and the obligations of the LC Facility Lenders and U.S. Borrower to the LC Facility Issuing Bank shall, in the case of the Affiliate Assigned Rights, inure to the benefit of the Affiliate acquiring or having acquired such Affiliate Assigned Rights and be enforceable by such Affiliate and/or by the Issuing Bank and LC Facility Issuing Bank on behalf of such Affiliate and (d) all payments made by Borrowers and/or any Revolving Lender or LC Facility Lender to such Affiliate acquiring or having acquired such Affiliate 

Assigned Rights shall discharge all such obligations otherwise owing to the Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank that has assigned such Affiliated Assigned Rights, to the extent so paid.  The foregoing shall not otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the entities acting as Issuing Banks and LC Facility Issuing Bank hereunder.
(l)    Applicability of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank or the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower in the applicable letter of credit application, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(m)    Conversion.  On and after any acceleration of the Obligations under Section 7.02, all amounts (i) that the Borrowers are at such time or thereafter become required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Agent in respect of Revolving LC Disbursements made under any Revolving Letter of Credit, (ii) that the Revolving Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Agent and the Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.04 in respect of unreimbursed Revolving LC Disbursements made under any Revolving Letter of Credit and (iii) that constitute each Revolving Lender’s participation in any Revolving Letter of Credit under which a Revolving LC disbursement has been made, in each case, shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, calculated as of such date (or in the case of any Revolving LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such Revolving LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts.  On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to an Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of the Obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.
(n)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(i)    if any Swingline Loans are outstanding or any Revolving Letters of Credit or Revolving LC Disbursements are outstanding under a Revolving Facility under which such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, then all or any part of the participation of such Lender in Swingline Loans, Revolving Letters of Credit and Revolving LC Disbursements shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders under such Revolving Facility in accordance with their respective Ratable Portions but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Outstandings under such Revolving Facility plus such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Swingline Loans, Revolving Letters of Credit and Revolving LC Disbursements does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(b) would be satisfied at such time (determined as if such reallocation constituted the issuance of a new Letter of Credit at such time); or 
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the applicable Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay all Swingline Loans under such Revolving Facility and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Letters of Credit and Revolving LC Disbursements under such Revolving Facility (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such Revolving Letters of Credit or Revolving LC Disbursements are outstanding.
SECTION 2.05    Termination and Reduction of Commitments and LC Facility Deposits.
(a)    The U.S. Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the U.S. Revolving Commitments, U.K. Revolving Commitments, Canadian Revolving Commitments, German Revolving Commitments or Irish 

Revolving Commitments or, prior to the Closing Date, the Term Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the Minimum Currency Threshold and (ii) any such reduction shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment of each of the Lenders except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in connection with the establishment on any date of any Replacement Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.19, the Revolving Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such Replacement Revolving Commitments on such date may be reduced in whole or in part on such date on a non-pro rata basis with the other Lenders under the applicable Revolving Facility and (y) U.S. Revolving Commitments that are not U.S. Extended Revolving Commitments may be terminated prior to U.S. Extended Revolving Commitments; provided that after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Revolving Loans actually made on such date, the Revolving Credit Outstandings of any Revolving Lender under such Revolving Facility does not exceed the Revolving Commitment thereof).  To the extent not previously utilized, all Term Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, (i) the U.S. Borrower shall repay all outstanding Existing U.S. Revolving Loans and Existing U.S. Swingline Loans together with all accrued interest thereon and all Revolving Commitment Fees and Revolving LC Fees, in each case, through the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, (ii) any outstanding Revolving Letters of Credit under the Existing U.S. Revolving Facility shall cease to be outstanding under the Existing U.S. Revolving Facility and shall be deemed to have been issued on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date pursuant to the U.S. Revolving Facility and (iii) all Existing U.S. Revolving Commitments shall terminate.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date,  the Canadian Borrower and the U.S. Borrower shall repay $10,000,000 of the outstanding Canadian Revolving Loans (as defined in this Agreement prior to the Amendment  No. 3 Effective Date) and Canadian Swingline Loans (as defined in this Agreement prior to the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date) together with all accrued interest and thereon and roll over $40,000,000 of the outstanding  Canadian Revolving Loans (as defined in this Agreement prior to the Amendment  No. 3 Effective Date) into Canadian Revolving Loans (as defined in this Agreement as of the Amendment  No. 3 Effective Date) and all Original Canadian Revolving Commitments shall terminate and the Canadian Borrower and U.S. Borrower shall pay all accrued fees with respect thereto through the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date.
(b)    The U.S. Borrower may at any time or from time to time, upon three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent and the LC Facility Agent, direct the LC Facility Agent to reduce the Total LC Facility Deposit; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the LC Facility Deposits shall be in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and (ii) the LC Facility Deposits shall not be reduced to the extent that, after giving effect to such reduction, (x) the aggregate LC Facility LC Exposure would exceed the Total LC Facility Deposit or (y) the aggregate amount of Later Expiring LC Facility Deposits would be less than the sum, without duplication, of (A) the aggregate face amount of the Later Expiring LC Facility Letters of Credit and (B) the aggregate amount of unreimbursed LC Facility LC Disbursements in respect of the Later Expiring LC Facility Letters of Credit.  In the event the Total LC Facility Deposit shall be reduced as provided in the preceding sentence, the LC Facility Agent will return the amount in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account in excess of the reduced Total LC Facility Deposit to the Agent which shall make such amount available to the LC Facility Lenders, ratably in accordance with the Ratable Portions of the Total LC Facility Deposit (as determined immediately prior to such reduction); provided, that at the option of the Borrower (specified in such notice to the LC Facility Agent) such amounts may first be applied (i) ratably to reduce all LC Facility Deposits with an earlier LC Facility Maturity Date prior to being applied to reduce any LC Facility Deposits with a later LC Facility Maturity Date and (ii) in connection with any establishment of New LC Facility Deposits pursuant to Section 2.19 on any date, to reduce the LC Facility Deposit of any Lender providing a New LC Facility Deposit on such date.
(c)    If on any LC Facility Maturity Date (including, if applicable, pursuant to the definition of LC-2 Facility Maturity Date), the LC Facility LC Exposure, after giving effect to the expiration of the maturing Letters of Credit, for any reason exceeds the amount of Later ExpriringExpiring LC Facility Deposits, the U.S. Borrower will deposit with the Agent, in accordance with Section 2.04(j), an amount in cash equal to the excess of the LC Facility LC Exposure on such date over the remaining amount of LC Facility Deposits with an LC Facility Maturity Date following such date in order to secure the U.S. Borrower’s reimbursement obligations with respect to any drawings that may occur.  Subject only to the U.S. Borrower’s compliance with its obligations under the preceding sentence, any amount of the LC 

Facility Deposits in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account maturing on any LC Facility Maturity Date will be returned by the LC Facility Agent to the Agent and distributed by the Agent ratably to the LC Facility Lenders with LC Facility Deposits maturing on such LC Facility Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.06    Repayment of Loans.
(a)    Each Borrower promises to repay on the Scheduled Termination Date for any Revolving Commitment the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans (and in the case of the U.S. Borrower and the Canadian Borrower on the latest Scheduled Termination Date of any Revolving Commitment under a Revolving Facility, Swingline Loans thereunder) made to such Borrower under the applicablesuch Revolving FacilityCommitment in the currency in which such Loans are denominated.
(b)    (i)     [Reserved].
(i)    The U.S. Borrower promises to repay in Dollars the U.S. Term B Loans on each date set forth below in an amount equal to the product of (x) the Remaining Term Percentage of the U.S. Term B Loans as of such date multiplied by (y) the amount set forth below opposite such date (subject to Section 2.08(b) and 2.09(c)):

SECTION 2.07    Evidence of Debt.

(a)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b)    The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each LC Facility Participation and Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (if any) applicable to each Loan hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal, interest and fees due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note.  In such event, the applicable Borrower shall reasonably promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note or Term Loan Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in substantially the form of Exhibit F-1 or Exhibit F-2 hereto, as applicable, with appropriate insertions and deletions.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.
SECTION 2.08    Optional Prepayment of Loans.
(a)    Revolving Loans.  Each Borrower may upon prior notice to the Agent not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of Loans denominated in Euro, Sterling or Yen or (y) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) in the case of Loans denominated in any other currency, in each case (i) at least three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, (ii) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans or (iii) on the date of prepayment, in the case of Swingline Loans, prepay without premium or penalty the outstanding principal amount of any or all of its Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, as applicable, in whole or in part at any time in the currencies in which such Loans are denominated; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan is made by a Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, such Borrower shall also pay all interest and fees accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid and any amount owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e); provided, further, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than the applicable Minimum Currency Threshold.  Upon the giving of any notice of prepayment, the principal amount of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans specified therein to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified therein for such prepayment (except that any notice of prepayment in connection with the refinancing of all of the Facilities may be contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing).
(b)    Term Loans.  Any Borrower may, upon prior notice to the Agent not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of Loans denominated in Euro, Sterling or Yen or (y) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) in the case of Loans denominated in any other currency, in each case (i) at least three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) at least one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of any prepayment of Base Rate Loans, prepay without premium or penalty its Term Loans under any Term Loan Facility in the currency in which such Term Loans are denominated, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is made by a Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, such Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e); provided, further, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount not less than the Minimum Currency Threshold and that any such partial prepayment shall be applied to reduce the remaining installments of the 

outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans under the applicable Term Loan Facility as directed by the U.S. Borrower.  Upon the giving of any notice of prepayment, the principal amount of the Term Loans specified therein to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified therein for such prepayment (except that any notice of prepayment in connection with the refinancing of all of the Facilities may be contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any voluntary prepayment of the U.S. Term B Loans prior to March 26, 2011 with the proceeds of any term loans having lower interest margins than the Applicable Margins for the U.S. Term B Loans, such prepayment shall be accompanied by a premium equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the U.S. Term B Loans so prepaid.
(c)    Prepayment Premiums.  In the event that, within six months of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, (x) the U.S. Borrower makes any prepayment of U.S. Term D Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction, or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the U.S. Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of each U.S. Term D Lender, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1% of the amount of such U.S. Term D Lender’s U.S. Term D Loans being prepaid and (II) in the case of clause (y), a payment equal to 1% of the aggregate amount such U.S. Term D Lender’s U.S. Term D Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.
SECTION 2.09    Mandatory Prepayment of Loans.
(a)    Subject to clause (d) below, no later than three Business Days after the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the U.S. Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2008, and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal year are delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) (the “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”), the U.S. Borrower shall prepay (or cause the other Borrowers to prepay) outstanding Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended; provided that the amount of such prepayment shall be reduced to 25% of such Excess Cash Flow if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the U.S. Borrower at the end of such fiscal year shall be equal to or less than 5.25 to 1.00, but greater than 4.50 to 1.00, and (ii) such prepayment shall not be required if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the U.S. Borrower at the end of such fiscal year shall be equal to or less than 4.50 to 1.00; provided, further, that the amount of such prepayment shall be further reduced (without duplication of any amount that has reduced the amount of Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to this clause (a) in any other year) by an amount equal to the amount of Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.08 during the time period commencing at the beginning of the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is required and ending on the day preceding the Excess Cash Flow Application Date (other than a prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans except to the extent accompanied by a corresponding reduction in the amount of the Revolving Commitments), other than prepayments funded with the proceeds of the incurrence of Indebtedness (other than under any revolving credit facility).
(b)    Subject to clause (d) below, on each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the U.S. Borrower shall (or shall cause the other Borrowers to) within five Business Days after the occurrence of such Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within five Business Days after the last day of the Reinvestment Period relating to such Prepayment Event), prepay, in accordance with clause (c) below, a principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event; provided that no prepayment shall be required as a result of any Asset Sale Prepayment Event until the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds from all Asset Sale Prepayment Events following the Closing Date that have not previously been applied to prepay Loans in accordance with this Section 2.09 exceeds $100.0 million and then only the excess over $100.0 million shall be required to be applied to prepay Loans; provided further that with respect to the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale Prepayment Event or Casualty Event, the U.S. Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase First Lien Notes to the extent the U.S. Borrower is required to prepay such First Lien Notes as a result of such Prepayment Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such First Lien Notes and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount of such First Lien Notes and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.

(c)    The U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under Section 2.09(a) or (b), (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the U.S. Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment.  Amounts required to be applied to the prepayment of Term Loans in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above shall be applied pro rata to prepay Term Loans under the Term Loan Facilities (based on the Dollar Equivalent amount of Term Loans outstanding under each Term Facility on the date of prepayment) and shall be applied to scheduled amortization of such Term Loans as directed by the U.S. Borrower; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the U.S. Borrower may elect in its sole discretion to apply the Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event to prepay all Term Loans maturing on the Term Loan Maturity Date (on a pro rata basis among the applicable Term Facilities based on the Dollar Equivalent amount of Term Loans outstanding thereunder on the date of prepayment) prior to prepaying the U.S. Term B Loans, the U.S. Term C Loans, the Canadian Term B Loans, the U.K. Term B Loans, the German Term-1 B Loans, the German Term-2 B Loans, the Irish Term B Loans, the Yen Term B Loans or any other Extended Term Loans.  Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest as required by Section 2.11.  All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.09 shall be subject to Section 2.14, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Canadian Borrower shall not be required to make any prepayment of Canadian Term Loans under this Section 2.09 to the extent that any required prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.09 occurring prior to the first day following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, together with any repayments of the Canadian Term Loans made under Section 2.06(h), would result in repayment of the Canadian Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount in excess of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Canadian Term Loans made on the Closing Date, and, to the extent that any Term Loans (other than the Canadian Term Loans) are outstanding, an amount equal to the Excess Amount shall be applied to the repayment of any of the Term Loans (other than the Canadian Term Loans) by way of repayment by one or more of the Borrowers (other than the Canadian Borrower) of its outstanding Term Loans.
(e)    If at any time the Agent notifies the U.S. Borrower that the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Credit Outstandings (it being understood that with respect to the U.S. Revolving Facility, commercial Revolving Letters of Credit having a Revolving LC Exposure of $15.0 million shall at all times be deemed to be outstanding) under any Revolving Facility exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility at such time, each Borrower under such Revolving Facility shall forthwith prepay on a pro rata basis with any other Borrower under such Revolving Facility an amount of Revolving Loans made to such Borrower under such Revolving Facility then outstanding in an aggregate amount with respect to the Borrower(s) under such Revolving Facility equal to such excess; provided, however, that, to the extent such excess results solely by reason of a change in exchange rates, no Borrower shall be required to make such prepayment unless the amount of such excess causes the Revolving Credit Outstandings under such Revolving Facility to exceed 105% of the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility.  If any such excess remains after prepayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility, each applicable Borrower shall provide cash collateral on a pro rata basis with any other Borrower under such Revolving Facility for the Revolving Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower under such Revolving Facility in the manner set forth in Section 2.04(j) in an aggregate amount with respect to the Borrower(s) under such Revolving Facility equal to such excess.
SECTION 2.10    Fees.
(a)    Revolving Commitment Fees.  Each Borrower, severally and not jointly with each other Borrower that, in accordance with Section 2.01, has the ability to borrow under a Revolving Facility with such Borrower, agrees to pay, in Dollars in immediately available funds, (i) to each Revolving Lender a commitment fee (a “Revolving Commitment Fee”) on the Dollar Equivalent of the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility exceeds such Revolving Lender’s Ratable Portion of the sum of (A) the aggregate outstanding

SECTION 2.11    Interest.
(a)    Rate of Interest.
(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (A) at the option of the applicable Borrower, all Loans denominated in Dollars (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (B) at the option of the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower, as applicable, all Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as Canadian Base Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans; provided, however, that all such Loans pursuant to the foregoing subclauses (A) and (B) shall be made as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, unless, subject to Section 2.14, the Borrowing Request specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, as applicable, (C) all U.S. Swingline Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (D) all Canadian Swingline Loans shall be made as Canadian Base Rate Loans and (E) all Loans denominated in any currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall be made as Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(ii)    All Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made as follows:
(A)    if a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time and (2) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time;
(B)    if a Canadian Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) the Canadian Base Rate in effect from time to time and (2) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time;
(C)    if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate determined for the applicable Eurocurrency Interest Period, (B) the Applicable 

Rate in effect from time to time during such Eurocurrency Interest Period and (C) if applicable, Mandatory Costs;
(D)    if a BA Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the BA Rate determined for the applicable BA Interest Period and (B) the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time during such BA Interest Period.
(b)    Interest Payments.  (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, in each case other than any Swingline Loan, shall be payable in arrears (A) for the preceding calendar quarter, no later than the fourth Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, (B) in the case of Base Rate Loans that are Term Loans, upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, (ii) interest accrued on each Swingline Loan shall be payable in arrears for the preceding calendar quarter no later than the fourth Business Day of each calendar quarter, (iii) interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan and each BA Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part, (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan, as the case may be, and (D) in the case of Original Term Loans (including Converted U.S. Term Loans), on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date, and (iv) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(c)    Default Interest.  If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or any LC Disbursement or (ii) any interest payable thereon, LC Facility LC Fees or Revolving LC Fees shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2%, (y) in the case of any LC Disbursement, at the rate applicable under Section 2.04(h) plus 2% and (z) in the case of any overdue interest, LC Facility LC Fees or Revolving LC Fees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.10 or Section 2.11(a), as applicable, plus 2% from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).
(d)    Criminal Interest Rate/Interest Act (Canada).
(i)    For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest is calculated on the basis of a period of time other than a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, the annual rate of interest to which each rate of interest utilized pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is such rate so utilized multiplied by the actual number of  days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used in such calculation.  For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest will not apply to any interest calculation under the Loan Documents, and the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.
(ii)    If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Canadian Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender under any Loan Documents 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 construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding that provision, that amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or result in a receipt by that Lender of interest at a criminal rate, the adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, (A) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the affected Lender under this Section 2.11 and (B) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to the affected Lender which would constitute interest for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(iii)    Notwithstanding clause (d)(ii), and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code (Canada), then the Canadian Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to the excess, and pending reimbursement, the amount of the excess shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Canadian Borrower.
(iv)    Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 2.11(d) shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles as an effective annual rate of interest over the term of the Agreement on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of interest (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada)) shall be prorated over that period of time and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of that determination.
SECTION 2.12    Conversion/Continuation Options.
(a)    (i) Each Borrower may elect (x) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or any portion thereof to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (y) at the end of any Eurocurrency Interest Period applicable to any Loan that is denominated in Dollars, to convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan, (ii) the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower may elect (x) at any time on any Business Day to convert Canadian Base Rate Loans (other than Canadian Swingline Loans) to BA Rate Loans or (y) at the end of any BA Interest Period, to convert BA Rate Loans to Canadian Base Rate Loans, (iii) each Borrower may elect at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above the aggregate amount of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, as the case may be, for each Interest Period shall not be less than the Minimum Currency Threshold.  Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion.  Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit G and shall be made by giving the Agent prior written notice by 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of such conversion.
(b)    The Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of an Interest Election Request and of the options selected therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Loans denominated in any currency other than Dollars may not be converted to Base Rate Loans, (ii) Loans denominated in any currency other than Canadian Dollars may not be converted to Canadian Base Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, (iii) Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars may not be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (iv) no (A) conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans to BA Rate Loans, (B) continuation in whole or in part of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or BA Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period or (C) continuation of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in any currency other than Dollars for a Eurocurrency Interest Period of other than one month’s duration, in each case, shall be permitted at any time at which (I) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined not to permit such continuation or conversion or (II) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loans would violate any provision of Section 2.14(b).  If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.12, the Agent does not receive an Interest Election Request from the applicable Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, Loans denominated in Dollars shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans, Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars shall be automatically converted into Canadian Base Rate Loans and Loans denominated in any currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall be automatically continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with a Eurocurrency Interest Period of one month.  Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

SECTION 2.13    Payments and Computations.
(a)    Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. (London time) in the case of Loans denominated in Euro, Sterling or Yen or (y) 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) in the case of Loans denominated in any other currency, in each case on the day when due, in the currency specified herein (or, if no such currency is specified, in Dollars), except as specified in the following sentence, to the Agent at the Agent’s Office for payments in such currency in immediately available funds without setoff or counterclaim.  The Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Applicable Lending Offices of the applicable Lenders for such payments ratably in accordance with the amount of such principal, interest or fees due and owing to such Lenders on such date; provided, however, that (x) amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15 shall be paid only to the affected LC Facility Issuing Bank, Issuing Bank, Lender or Lenders, (y) amounts payable with respect to Swingline Loans shall be paid only to the applicable Swingline Lender and (z) amounts payable to the Issuing Banks and LC Facility Issuing Bank in accordance with Section 2.10 shall be paid directly to such Issuing Banks and LC Facility Issuing Bank.  Payments received by the Agent (or other applicable party) after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.
(b)    All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (other than computations of interest (i) for LC Facility LC Fees, Base Rate Loans, Canadian Base Rate Loans and Loans denominated in Sterling which shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and (ii) for BA Rate Loans which shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days), in each case, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable.  Each determination by the Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment by a Borrower with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit and each reimbursement of reimbursable expenses or indemnified liabilities shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit issued or such expense or liability was incurred.
(d)    Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  All repayments of any Revolving Loans or Term Loans that are denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars shall be applied as follows:  first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, and second, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, with those Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.
(e)    Unless the Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Interbank Rate for the first Business Day, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent.

SECTION 2.14    Increased Costs; Change of Law, Etc.
(a)    Determination of Interest Rate.  Each of the (i) Eurocurrency Rate for each Eurocurrency Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) the BA Rate for each BA Interest Period for BA Rate Loans shall be determined by the Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” or “BA Rate,” as applicable.  The Benchmark LIBOR Rate for each day shall be determined by the LC Facility Agent and notified to the Agent.
(b)    Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.  In the event that (i) the Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurocurrency Rate, the Benchmark LIBOR Rate or the BA Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Required Class Lenders of the affected Facility notify the Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate, the Benchmark LIBOR Rate or the BA Rate for any Interest Period (or, in the case of the Benchmark LIBOR Rate, other period) will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans or LC Facility Deposits in the applicable currency for such Interest Period or other period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the U.S. Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (w) the LC Facility Deposits shall be invested so as to earn a return equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the LC Facility Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, (x) each affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Revolving Lenders and the U.S. Term Loan Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower that the Required Class Lenders under the affected Facility have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, (y) each BA Rate Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Canadian Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Canadian Revolving Lenders to make BA Rate Loans or to convert Canadian Base Rate Loans into BA Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower that the Required Class Lenders under the affected Facility have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (z) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan that is denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued, as the case may be, as Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one month and the amount of interest payable in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions:
(i)    if the Agent so requires, within five days of such notification the Agent and the applicable Borrower, as applicable, shall enter into negotiations with a view to agreeing on a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest (a “Substitute Interest Rate”) which may be applicable to affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Borrower in the future and any such Substitute Interest Rate that is agreed shall take effect in accordance with its terms and be binding on each party hereto; provided that the Agent may not agree on any such Substitute Interest Rate without the prior consent of the Required Class Lenders under the affected Facility;
(ii)    if no Substitute Interest Rate is agreed pursuant to clause (i) above, any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest during the subsequent Interest Period at the rate per annum otherwise applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans under such Facility, except that in the place of the Eurocurrency Rate, in respect of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in any currency other than Dollars, the Agent shall use the cost to the applicable Lender (as conclusively certified by such Lender in a certificate to the Agent and the applicable Borrower and expressed as a rate per annum) and containing a general description of the source selected of funding such Loan from whatever source it shall reasonably select; and
(iii)    if the Agent has required a Borrower to enter into negotiations pursuant to clause (i) above, the  Agent may (acting on the instructions of the Required Class Lenders under the affected Facility) declare that no further Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the applicable currency shall be converted, continued or made unless a Substitute Interest Rate has been agreed by the applicable Borrower and the Agent within 30 days of the Agent having so required negotiations.

(c)    Increased Costs.
(i)    If any Change in Law shall:
(A)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate); 
(B)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans made by such Lender or LC Facility Deposits maintained by such Lender; or
(C)    subject any Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank to any Taxes or change the basis of taxation of such Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank except for Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.15 or Excluded Taxes;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or LC Facility Deposit or the cost to an Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (iii) of this clause (c), the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank in accordance with clause (iii) below such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(ii)    If any Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, LC Facility Deposits maintained by such Lender or Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank to a level below that which such Person or such Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.15 or Excluded Taxes (taking into consideration such Person’s policies and the policies of such Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (iii) of this clause (c) of this Section the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank in accordance with clause (iii) below such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Person or such Person’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(iii)    A certificate of a Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank or its holding company as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this clause (c) and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(iv)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this clause (c) shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank pursuant to this clause (c) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank notifies such Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise 

to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(d)    Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the U.S. Borrower through the Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loan, as applicable, as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, (ii) if any affected Loans are then outstanding that are denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars as Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, the applicable Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into Base Rate Loans or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable and (iii) in the case of any affected Loans that are not denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, such Loans shall bear interest at an alternate rate determined by the Agent to adequately reflect such Lender’s cost of capital.  If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender.  Each Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans, as applicable, shall thereupon be restored.
(e)    Breakage Costs.  In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.11, each Borrower shall compensate each Lender that has made a Loan to such Borrower, upon written request in accordance with this paragraph (e), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans to such Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Rate on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason (other than by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Request or a Interest Election Request given by a Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.12, (ii) if for any reason any Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan is repaid or prepaid (including pursuant to Section 2.09) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or BA Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan or Canadian Base Rate Loans, as applicable, as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a result of any assignment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans or BA Rate Loans pursuant to a request by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17.  In the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market.  For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant BA Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the BA Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that BA Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant BA Interest Period; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its BA Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection.  The applicable Borrower shall pay the applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any certificate delivered to such Borrower and setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this clause (e) and the basis therefor within ten (10) days after receipt thereof; provided such certificate sets forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined.

(g)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower or a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower or such Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

In particular, on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, each U.S. Revolving Lender, U.S. Term Lender, U.S. Term B Lender and, U.S. Term C Lender and U.S. Term D Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender, and any Lender making a Loan to the U.S. Borrower pursuant to the Canadian Revolving Facility, German Revolving Facility, Irish Revolving Facility or U.K. Revolving Facility that is a Non-U.S. Lender, shall, to 

the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) two duly signed, properly completed copies of either Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Non-U.S. Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender by the U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document), Form W‐8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender by the U.S. Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document) or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate that establishes in writing to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (i) a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a 10-percent stockholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to the U.S. Borrower with the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code.  Thereafter and from time to time, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, each such Non-U.S. Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authority) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender by the U.S. Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the U.S. Borrower and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Agent, and (B) promptly notify the U.S. Borrower and the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.  Each Lender which is participating in a Loan made to the U.K. Borrower and is a Treaty Lender undertakes to use reasonable endeavors to process as soon as practicable the appropriate application pursuant to the Double Taxation Relief (Taxes on Income) (General) Regulations 1970 and the relevant Treaty to enable interest on the Loan made by it to the U.K. Borrower under this Agreement to be paid to it without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by the United Kingdom and, if appropriate, to seek, at the U.K. Borrower’s expense, a refund of any such tax previously withheld (and in respect of which additional amounts have been paid by the U.K. Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15) from interest payments made to that Treaty Lender.  If a payment made to a Lender with respect to any obligation of the U.S. Borrower 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 U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower 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 U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower 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 the immediately preceding sentence, "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(i)    Each Lender making a Loan to the U.S. Borrower that is a United States person, agrees to complete and deliver to the U.S. Borrower a statement signed by an authorized signatory of such Lender to the effect that it is a United States person together with a duly completed and executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form.
(j)    If the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or a Lender determines, in good faith in its sole discretion, that it has received and retained a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or a Loan Party or with respect to which such Borrower or such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower or such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or 

additional amounts paid, by such Borrower or such Loan Party under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or such Lender in good faith in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Borrower or such Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable the amount paid over to such Borrower or such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section shall not be construed to require the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to such Borrower or such Loan Party or any other Person.
(k)    Any amount payable under this Agreement by a Borrower or any Loan Party is exclusive of any value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature which might be chargeable in connection with that amount.  If any such Tax is chargeable, the applicable Borrower or applicable Loan Party must pay to the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or Lender (as applicable) (in addition to and at the same time as paying that amount) an amount equal to the amount of that Tax.
(l)    Where this Agreement requires any party to this Agreement to reimburse the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) for any costs or expenses, that party must also at the same time pay and indemnify the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) against all value added tax or any other Tax of a similar nature incurred by the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) in respect of those costs or expenses but only to the extent that the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or Lender (as the case may be) (acting reasonably) determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of the Tax.
(m)    A Lender who is a U.K. Qualifying Lender solely under subparagraph (i)(B) of the definition of “U.K. Qualifying Lender” on the day on which this Agreement entered into gives a U.K. Tax Confirmation to the U.K. Borrower by entering into this Agreement.  A Lender who is a Qualifying Lender under sub-paragraph (i)(B) of the definition of “U.K. Qualifying Lender” or, in the case of a U.K. Term B Lender, of the definition of “U.K. Term B Qualifying Lender” must promptly notify the Agent of any change to its status that may affect any confirmation made by it.  A U.K. Term B Lender who has given and not revoked a U.K. Tax Confirmation as at the date of Amendment Agreement No. 2 shall be deemed to have given a U.K. Term B Tax Confirmation.
(n)    If a Loan Party determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid under this Section 2.15, the relevant Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or Lender (as applicable) shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Loan Party in challenging such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, at the Loan Party’s expense, if so requested by the Loan Party in writing; provided that nothing in this Section 2.15(n) shall obligate the Agent, Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender to take any action that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to such Person.
(o)    If, and to the extent any Security Right is created over any receivable of any Related Person that secures a Loan owing by a German Borrower and that receivable is or becomes a Long Term Interest Bearing Receivable, the Lenders agree with each Borrower and each Related Party that such Security Right shall not be enforced against such Long Term Interest Bearing Receivable in order to satisfy any payment obligation of the relevant German Borrower under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.15(o) shall be applicable with respect to any Loans under the German Term-1 B Loan Facility or the German Term-2 B Loan Facility. 
(p)    With regard to documentation requirements under the German thin capitalization rules (§ 8a German Corporate Income Tax Act (Körperschaftsteuergesetz)) the following shall apply:

(i)    For the purposes of providing evidence to the German tax authorities in relation to the absence of any back to back financing in connection with a Loan to a German Borrower, the Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders and on the basis of information provided by the Lenders agrees to provide each German Borrower with a letter of confirmation (a “Certificate”) substantially in the form of Schedule 2.15(o)(i) (Form of German Tax Certificate).
(ii)    A Certificate shall be provided to the German Borrowers within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. Thereafter each German Borrower shall request a new Certificate to be issued within the time frame of sentence 1 whenever any of the details provided under  
subclause (iii) below change and until full and final repayment of the Loans to that German Borrower.
(iii)    For the purpose of enabling the Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders to provide a Certificate, each German Borrower shall, promptly upon request by the Agent and in any event within five (5) days of such request, deliver to the Agent the details necessary to provide the Certificates, including a draft of the Certificate including its annexes (if any).
(iv)    When providing the information under clause (iii) above, each German Borrower confirms that, to its best knowledge and after due enquiry, it is not aware of any circumstances as a result of which the Certificate to be given in relation to that information is not correct.
(v)    Each Borrower acknowledges that the Agent acting on behalf of the Lenders gives the Certificate exclusively at the request of the German Borrowers and solely for providing proof to the German tax authorities of the absence of any back to back financing with respect to any Loan to a German Borrower. The omission of any security or guarantee in any Certificate shall not be construed as a waiver of the omitted security or guarantee.
(vi)    Neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders is (x) responsible for the Borrowers’ tax position or for achieving any certain tax treatment of the Borrowers or (y) providing any legal and/or tax advice to any other Party with respect to this Agreement; it is the responsibility of each Borrower to consult its own legal and tax advisers.
(vii)    Each Borrower confirms that a Certificate is not given for the German Borrowers or any of its Related Parties to rely on, but only for delivery to the competent tax authority and that, therefore, no Borrower or any of its Related Parties will raise any claims against a Lender or the Agent or any of their Related Parties based on, or in connection with, a Certificate.
(viii)    Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender from any reasonable costs and expenses (including legal fees) resulting from or incurred in connection with the issuance of any Certificate and from potential or actual claims that might be made against the Agent or any Lender in connection with a Certificate.
(ix)    Each Borrower, also in its role as provider of any guarantee or security releases the Agent and each Lender from its duty of confidentiality and/or obligation of bank secrecy (Bankgeheimnis) with regard to the issuance of the Certificates to the German Borrowers and their submission to the German tax authorities. 
(x)    Merger Sub and after the Merger U.S. Borrower shall cause the German Borrowers to comply with their obligations under this Section 2.15(p).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.15(p) shall be applicable with respect to any Loans under the German Term-1 B Loan Facility or the German Term-2 B Loan Facility.  In connection with the German Term-1 B Loan Facility and/or the German Term-2 B Loan Facility, in order to comply with the interest-stripping rules provided for in Sec. 8a German Corporate Income Tax Act, the German Borrower may request any German Term-1 B Lender or German Term-2 B Lender, as applicable, to assist and co-

operate with the German Borrower in evidencing the non-existence of a back-to-back financing between such German Term-1 Lender or German Term-2 Lender and the German Borrower and their respective relevant groups of companies within the meaning of Sec. 8a German Corporate Income Tax Act, if the tax office competent for the German Borrower requests that the German Borrower provide such evidence.  Such co-operation may include the issuance of a certificate stating the absence of a back-to-back financing between the German Borrower, the applicable German Term-1 B Lender and/or German Term-2 B Lender and their respective relevant groups of companies.
(q)    Each Irish Term Lender, each Irish Term B Lender and each Irish Revolving Lender (to the extent making a Loan to the Irish Borrower) and any assignee or successor of any Irish Term Lender, Irish Term B Lender or Irish Revolving Lender gives an Irish Tax Confirmation by entering into this Agreement or any assignment or novation of this Agreement. An Irish Term Lender, Irish Term B Lender or Irish Revolving Lender who is an Irish Qualifying Lender or an Irish Term B Qualifying Lender must promptly notify the Agent of any change to its status that may effect the Irish Tax Confirmation made by it. 
(r)    Except as otherwise provided to the Agent and the U.S. Borrower in writing in a form satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower acting reasonably, each Person that is a Lender in respect of the Canadian Borrower as at the date hereof represents and warrants that such Person is a Canadian Resident in respect of all payments to be made by the Canadian Borrower to such Lender (other than as a Canadian Term Lender or Canadian Term B Lender) hereunder; any Lender in respect of the Canadian Borrower who is not, or who for any reason ceases to qualify as, a Canadian Resident in respect of all payments to be made by the Canadian Borrower to such Lender (other than as a Canadian Term Lender or Canadian Term B Lender) hereunder, shall forthwith notify the Agent and the U.S. Borrower in writing of such status in a form satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower acting reasonably.  Each Lender that is a Lender in respect of a Canadian Revolving Loan to the Canadian Borrower shall deliver from time to time upon the request of the Canadian Borrower or the Agent, such documentation or certification as may reasonably be requested by Canadian Borrower to the Agent to determine whether, and to what extent, payments under a Canadian Revolving Loan to be made by Canadian Borrower are subject to any withholding or deduction. For the purposes of this Section 2.15, “Canadian Resident” means any Person permitted under Canadian law to carry on business in Canada in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that is either (i) not a non-resident of Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as now in effect, (ii) an authorized foreign bank deemed to be resident in Canada for purposes of Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as now in effect, in respect of all amounts payable to such Person by the Canadian Borrower pursuant to any Canadian  Revolving Loan, Canadian Swingline Loan, or Revolving Letter of Credit issued under the Canadian Revolving Facility made by it in respect of its Canadian banking business or (iii) a Canadian partnership, within the meaning of that term for the purposes of paragraph 212(13.1)(b) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as now in effect.
SECTION 2.16    Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a)    All proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and all or any portion of the Loans shall have been accelerated hereunder pursuant to Section 7.02, shall upon election by the Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders be applied, first, to, ratably, pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent from any Borrower (other than in connection with Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations), second, ratably, to pay any expense reimbursements then due to the Issuing Bank, LC Facility Issuing Bank or Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations) to the extent such obligations are secured by such Collateral, third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of the Loans and Revolving LC Fees and LC Facility LC Fees to the extent such obligations are secured by such Collateral, ratably, fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and unpaid LC Disbursements and any amounts owing with respect to Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations, in each case to the extent such obligations are secured by such Collateral, ratably, fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Agent or any Lender that are secured by such Collateral, and sixth, to the applicable Loan Party or as the U.S. Borrower shall direct.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to this Section 2.16(a) to any holder of Secured Hedging Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations 

unless the holder thereof or the U.S. Borrower has provided notice to the Agent thereof prior to the date of the applicable payment pursuant to this Section 2.16(a).
(b)    If, following any Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) (but only to the extent that prior to the waiver of such Event of Default an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) (with respect to the U.S. Borrower) or an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02 occurs), Section 7.01(f) (with respect to the U.S. Borrower) or any acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any fees, principal of or interest on any of its Loans or LC Facility Participations resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or LC Facility Participations and accrued interest and fees thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans or LC Facility Participations of other Lenders at such time outstanding to the extent necessary 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 and fees on their respective Loans and LC Facility Participations; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or LC Facility Participations to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply) and (iii) in the event that any Lender would be required to purchase any participations in Loans to the U.S. Borrower or LC Facility Participations as a result of the receipt by such Lender of any amount from any Foreign Borrower, such Lender shall not be required to purchase any participations in any such Domestic Obligations.  Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff, consolidation and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(c)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such obligations of such Lender until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(a)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or LC Facility Deposits 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 Section 2.14 or 2.15, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material respect.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or if any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower 

shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, LC Facility Participation and any participations in Revolving Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans funded by such Lender, if any, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts due and payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, participation and accrued interest and fees) or such Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.18    Credit-Linked Deposit Account.
(a)    On the Closing Date, each LC Facility Lender paid to the LC Facility Agent for deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account an amount equal to its LC Facility Commitment in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i), on the Restatement Effective Date, a portion of the LC-1 Facility Deposits of the Initial Extending Lenders were exchanged for LC-2 Facility Deposits pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii), and on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, a portion of the LC-1 Facility Deposits of the Amendment No. 2 Extending Lenders were exchanged for LC-3 Facility Deposits pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(iii).  The LC Facility Deposits shall be held by the LC Facility Agent in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account, and no party other than the LC Facility Agent shall have a right of withdrawal from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account or any other right or power with respect to the LC Facility Deposits.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the funding obligation of each LC Facility Lender in respect of its participation in LC Facility Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04 or otherwise as provided in this Agreement shall be satisfied in full upon the funding of its LC Facility Deposit (which, with respect to the LC-1 Facility Deposits, occurred on the Closing Date and, with respect to the LC-2 Facility Deposits, was deemed to have occurred on the Restatement Effective Date and, with respect to the LC-3 Facility Deposits, shall be deemed to have occurred on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date) and (ii) each LC Facility Lender hereby grants a security interest in its LC Facility Deposit to the LC Facility Agent as security for the obligations of the LC Facility Issuing Bank in respect of the LC Facility (it being understood that this clause (ii) shall not relieve the U.S. Borrower of its reimbursement obligations hereunder).
(b)    Each of the Agent, the LC Facility Agent, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and each LC Facility Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that each LC Facility Lender is funding its LC Facility Deposit to the LC Facility Agent for application in the manner contemplated by Section 2.04 and that the LC Facility Agent has agreed to invest the LC Facility Deposits so as to earn a return on the principal outstanding amount of the LC Facility Deposits from time to time (as they may be reduced and subsequently increased by withdrawals and deposits made with respect to the Credit-Linked Deposit Account pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement) for the LC Facility Lenders equal to a rate per annum, reset daily on each Business Day for the period until the next following Business Day, equal to (i) such day’s rate for one month LIBOR deposits (the “Benchmark LIBOR Rate”) minus (ii) 0.15% (calculated on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as applicable).  Such amount will (or the amount determined in accordance with Section 2.14) will be paid by the LC Facility Agent to the Agent and by the Agent to the LC Facility Lenders quarterly in arrears when LC Facility LC Fees are payable pursuant to Section 2.12. In addition to the foregoing payments to the LC Facility Lenders, the U.S. Borrower agrees to make payments to the LC Facility Lenders quarterly in arrears when LC Facility LC Fees are payable pursuant to Section 2.10(c) with respect to any period (and together with the payment of such fees) in an amount equal to 0.15% of the daily amount of the LC Facility Lenders’ LC Facility Deposits during such period.
(c)    In the event funds from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account are withdrawn by the LC Facility Agent to reimburse the LC Facility Issuing Bank for an unreimbursed LC Facility LC Disbursement, the U.S. Borrower shall have the right, at any time prior to the applicable LC Facility Maturity Date, to pay over to the LC Facility Agent in reimbursement thereof an amount equal to the amount so withdrawn for deposit in the Credit-Linked Deposit Account.  Until the U.S. Borrower shall repay any amount withdrawn from the Credit-Linked Deposit Account to reimburse the LC Facility Issuing 

Bank for an unreimbursed LC Facility LC Disbursement, the interest payable by the LC Facility Agent to the Agent for distribution to the LC Facility Lenders on their LC Facility Deposits under Section 2.18(b) shall be correspondingly reduced and the LC Facility Lenders shall without further act succeed, ratably in accordance with their respective Ratable Portions, to the rights of the LC Facility Agent with respect to such amount.
(d)    Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any right, title or interest in or to the LC Facility Deposits or any obligations with respect thereto (including any obligation to pay interest at the LIBOR Rate) (except to refund portions thereof used to reimburse the LC Facility Issuing Bank with respect to LC Facility LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.04), it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the making of the LC Facility Deposits by the LC Facility Lenders, the provisions of this Section 2.18 and the application of the LC Facility Deposits in the manner contemplated by Section 2.04(e) constitute agreements among the Agent, the LC Facility Agent, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and each LC Facility Lender with respect to the funding obligations of each LC Facility Lender in respect of its participation in LC Facility Letters of Credit and do not constitute any loan or extension of credit to the U.S. Borrower.  
(e)    Provided, in each case, that the U.S. Borrower has complied with Section 2.04(j), the LC Facility Agent shall return any remaining LC Facility Deposits maturing on any LC Facility Maturity Date to the Agent and the Agent shall distribute such amounts to the LC Facility Lenders with LC Facility Deposits maturing on such LC Facility Maturity Date.  
(f)    If the LC Facility Agent is advised by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. that it is not offering Dollar deposits (in the applicable amounts) in the London interbank market, or the LC Facility Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not otherwise exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for the LC Facility Deposits (or any part thereof), then the LC Facility Deposits (or such parts, as applicable) shall be invested so as to earn a return equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the LC Facility Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
SECTION 2.19    Incremental Facilities.
(a)    Any Borrower may by written notice to the Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x) additional tranches of term loans of any class in Dollars, Euros or Canadian Dollars (the commitments with respect thereto, the “New Term Commitments”), (y) increases in the amount of LC Facility Deposits or additional tranches of synthetic letter of credit facility deposits in Dollars (the commitments with respect thereto, the “New LC Facility Commitments”) and/or (z) increases in Revolving Commitments under one or more of the Revolving Facilities (the “New Revolving Commitments” and, together with the New Term Commitments and New LC Facility Commitments, the “New Commitments”) or under a new revolving facility (a “New Revolving Facility”), by an aggregate amount not in excess of the Dollar Equivalent of $750.0 million in the aggregate (excluding for purposes of such maximum amount any Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Revolving Commitments and Replacement LC Facility Commitments) and not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $25.0 million individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Agent or such lesser amount that shall constitute the difference between $750.0 million and the Dollar Equivalent of all such New Commitments obtained prior to such date).  Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the applicable Borrower proposes that the New Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Agent; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Commitment.  Such New Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Commitments, as applicable; (ii) both before and after giving effect to the making of any New Term Loans, New LC Facility Deposits or New Revolving Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied; (iii) the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with Section 6.10 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter prior to such Increased Amount Date and as in effect on such Increased Amount Date after giving effect to such New Commitments and any Investment to be consummated in connection therewith and shall not in any event, on a pro forma basis, have a Consolidated 

Secured Debt Ratio as of such most recently ended fiscal quarter that is in excess of the level specified on the Closing Date as the maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio permitted as of the end of the first full quarter following the Closing Date; (iv) the New Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more supplements to this Agreement executed and delivered by the New Lenders and the Agent; and (v) each New Lender shall become party to the Loss Sharing Agreement.  Any New Term Loans or New LC Facility Deposits (other than any New LC Facility Deposits which are designated by the U.S. Borrower, with the consent of the LC Facility Issuing Bank, in the applicable supplement as “LC Facility Deposits” under the LC Facility and New Term Loans which are designated as an increase in the amount of any previously established Class of Term Loans) made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans or New LC Facility Deposits for all purposes of this Agreement.  In connection with the obtaining of any New Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.19(a), the U.S. Borrower shall, or shall cause the other applicable Loan Parties to, make such amendments to the Collateral Documents and take such other customary actions, if any, as the Agent may reasonably request in order to preserve and protect the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations (either prior to or within 30 days (or such longer period as to which the Agent may consent) following the Increased Amount Date for such New Commitments). 
(b)    On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected under any existing Revolving Facility (but not any New Revolving Facility being established on such date), subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility shall assign to each Lender with a New Revolving Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Lender”) and each of the New Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding under the applicable Revolving Facility on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Lenders with Revolving Loans under the applicable Revolving Facility and New Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Ratable Portions after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility, (b) each such New Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment under the applicable Revolving Facility and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan under the applicable Revolving Facility and (c) each New Revolving Lender with a New Revolving Commitment under an existing Revolving Facility shall become a Lender under the applicable Revolving Facility with respect to the New Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto.  On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected under any New Revolving Facility, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, the Agent and the Borrowers shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to incorporate the terms of such New Revolving Facility hereunder on substantially the same terms as were applicable to the existing Revolving Facilities (except with respect to the rate of interest and the Scheduled Termination Date applicable to such New Revolving Facility and except as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers).
(c)    On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with a New Term Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) of any Series shall make a Loan to the applicable Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in the requested currency in an amount equal to its New Term Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto.
(d)    On any Increased Amount Date on which any New LC Facility Commitments are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with a New LC Facility Commitment (each, a “New LC Facility Lender”) of any Series shall make an LC Facility Deposit in Dollars (a “New LC Facility Deposit”) with, in the case of New LC Facility Deposits designated as an increase to the LC Facility, the LC Facility Agent, and in the case of any new Series of New LC Facility Deposits, the entity that agrees to act as agent for the applicable Series of New LC Facility Commitments, in each case, in an amount equal to its New LC Facility Commitment, and (ii) each New LC 

Facility Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New LC Facility Commitment and the New LC Facility Deposits made pursuant thereto.
(e)    The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Commitments of any Series and of the New LC Facility Deposits and New LC Facility Deposit Commitments shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the applicable supplement relating thereto, identical to the existing Term Loans and existing LC Facility Deposits; provided that (i) the final maturity date of each Series shall be no earlier than the final maturity of the applicable Class of existing Term Loans or the LC Facility Deposits outstanding on the Increased Amount Date with respect to such New Term Loans or New LC Facility Deposits and the mandatory prepayment and other payment rights of the New Term Loans and the existing Term Loans (other than the Canadian Term Loans unless such New Term Loans are to a Foreign Borrower formed under the laws of Canada) shall be identical, (ii) the rate of interest and the amortization schedule applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable supplement relating thereto and the applicable fees payable pursuant to any New LC Facility Deposits shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the New LC Facility Lenders providing such New LC Facility Deposits; provided that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any New Term Loans will be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the existing Term Loans under any Term Loan Facility, and (iii) all other terms applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series that differ from the existing Term Loans shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers (as evidenced by its execution of the applicable supplement relating thereto).  The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans and New Revolving Commitments shall be identical to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility, provided that, with respect to any New Revolving Facility, (i) the Scheduled Termination Date with respect thereto shall be set forth in the applicable supplement and shall be no earlier than the Scheduled Termination Date of any other Revolving Facility in effect at such time, (ii) the rate of interest applicable thereto shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in the applicable supplement relating thereto and (iii) all other terms applicable thereto that differ from the existing Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under the existing Revolving Facilities shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers (as evidenced by the execution of the applicable supplement relating thereto).
(f)    (i)  Any Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans under any Term Loan Facility of such Borrower (an “Existing Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.19(f).  In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the applicable Borrower shall provide a notice to the Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall be identical to the Term Loans of the Existing Class from which they are to be converted except (w) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Class, (x) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher than the interest margins for the Term Loans of such Existing Class (and Extended Term Loans may provide for prepayment protection and call protection that are different from those applicable to such Existing Class) and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), (y) the supplement providing for such Extended Term Loans may provide for other terms applicable to such Extended Term Loans so long as either (A) such additional terms do not apply until all Term Loans, Commitments, LC Facility Deposits and New LC Facility Deposits outstanding immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans have been repaid, terminated or returned as applicable, (B) such additional terms are less favorable to the holders of the Extended Term Loans than the corresponding Existing Class or (C) such additional terms have been approved by the Required Lenders and (z) the mandatory prepayment rights of the Extended Term Loans and such Existing Class may be different so long as the proportion (if any) of the proceeds thereof to which such Extended Term Loans are entitled is no greater on a proportionate basis than the portion of such proceeds to which the Existing Class is entitled to receive.

(ii)    The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond.  Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of the Existing Class subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans of the Existing Class which it has elected to convert into Extended Term Loans.  In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the Existing Class subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election (subject to such rounding as the Agent deems expedient).  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender agrees that any Term Loan that is converted to an Extended Term Loan (and the Extending Lender providing such Extended Term Loan) shall continue to be subject to the Loss Sharing Agreement to the same extent as the Term Loan from which such Extended Term Loan was converted.  Any Extended Term Loans shall be established on the date set forth in the applicable supplement entered into by the applicable Borrower and the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.19(f) (it being understood that by providing an Extension Election, an Extending Lender will agree to be bound thereby).
(g)    Each supplement pursuant to this Section 2.19 may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, to effect the provision of this Section 2.19.

Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans, in the aggregate.
SECTION 3.13    Disclosure.
(a)    All written information (other than the Projections, the pro forma financial statements and estimates and information of a general economic nature) concerning Holdings, the U.S. Borrower, the Restricted Subsidiaries, the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated hereby included in the Information Memorandum or otherwise prepared by or on behalf of the foregoing or their representatives and made available to the Lenders or the Agent in writing in connection with the Transactions on or before the Closing Date (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, as of the date such Information was furnished to the Agent or such Lenders, as the case may be, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact as of any such date or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

(b)    The Projections, pro forma financial statements and estimates and information of a general economic nature prepared by or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower or any of its representatives and that have been made available to any Lenders or the Agent in writing in connection with the Transactions on or before the Closing Date (the “Other Information”) (i) have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the U.S. Borrower to be reasonable as of the date thereof (it being understood that actual results may vary materially from the Other Information), and (ii) as of the Closing Date, have not been modified in any material respect by the U.S. Borrower.
SECTION 3.14    Material Agreements.  Neither any Loan Party nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of its obligations contained in (i) any material agreement to which it is a party or (ii) any agreement or instrument to which it is a party evidencing or governing Indebtedness, except where any such default would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.15    Solvency.
(a)    Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Loan Parties and the Foreign Borrowers on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.
(b)    The Loan Parties do not intend to incur debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by the Loan Parties and the timing and amounts of cash to be payable by the Loan Parties on or in respect of their Indebtedness.
SECTION 3.16    Insurance.  Schedule 3.16 sets forth a true, complete and correct description of all commercial insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Loan Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.  As of the Closing Date, all such insurance is in full force and effect and all premiums in respect of such insurance have been duly paid.  The U.S. Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is adequate and is in accordance with normal industry practice.
SECTION 3.17    Capitalization and Subsidiaries.  As of the Closing Date, Schedule 3.17 sets forth (a) a correct and complete list of the name and relationship to the U.S. Borrower of each and all of the U.S. Borrower’s Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each class of each of the U.S. Borrower’s authorized Equity Interests, of which all of such issued shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 3.17, and (c) the type of entity of the U.S. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries.  All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Restricted Subsidiaries owned by any Loan Party have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created under the Loan Documents).
SECTION 3.18    Security Interest in Collateral.  The provisions of the Collateral Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the Agent, for the benefit 

of the Secured Parties; and upon the proper filing of UCC financing statements required pursuant to paragraph (k) of Section 4.01 and any Mortgages with respect to Mortgaged Properties and other actions to be taken pursuant to the terms of the Foreign Pledge Agreements, such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Liens, to the extent any such Permitted Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Agent pursuant to any applicable law and (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral.
SECTION 3.19    Labor Disputes.  Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party currently occurring or, to the knowledge of the U.S. Borrower, threatened.  Except (i) as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) as set forth on Schedule 3.19, the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound.
SECTION 3.20    Federal Reserve Regulations.
(a)    On the Closing Date, none of the Collateral is Margin Stock.
(b)    None of Holdings, the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock.
(c)    No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, (i) to purchase or carry Margin Stock (other than pursuant to, or in connection with, the Merger) or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock or to refund indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose, or (ii) for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.
SECTION 3.21    Transaction Documents.  Holdings and the U.S. Borrower have delivered to the Agent a complete and correct copy of the Merger Agreement (including all schedules, exhibits, amendments, supplements and modifications thereto).  Neither Holdings, the U.S. Borrower nor any other Loan Party or, to the knowledge of Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or each Loan Party, any other Person party thereto is in default in the performance or compliance with any material provisions thereof.  Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, all representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement were true and correct in all material respects at the time as of which such representations and warranties were made (or deemed made).

being understood that, in the case of any such meetings or advice from such independent accountants, the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 5.06 to the extent that it has used commercially reasonable efforts to cause its independent accountants to participate in any such meeting); provided that, excluding any such visits, meetings and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Section 5.06 and the Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one (1) such time shall be at the U.S. Borrower’s expense; provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists, the Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the U.S. Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice.

of Section 6.06(r)) and (ii) any such Domestic Subsidiary that was an Immaterial Subsidiary but, as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the U.S. Borrower has ceased to qualify as an Immaterial Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary which ceases to qualify as an Immaterial Subsidiary pursuant to the Disposition permitted in Section 6.06(r)), to become a Loan Party as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable by executing a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit D hereto (the “Joinder Agreement”).  Upon execution and delivery thereof, each such Person (i) shall automatically become a Loan Guarantor hereunder and thereupon shall have all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations in such capacity under the Loan Documents and (ii) will simultaneously therewith or as soon as practicable thereafter grant Liens to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and each other Secured Party at such time party to or benefiting from the Collateral Documents, to the extent required by the terms thereof, in any property (subject to the limitations with respect to Equity Interests set forth in paragraph (b) of this Section 5.11 and the Security Agreement, the limitations with respect to real property set forth in paragraph (f) of this Section 5.11 and any other limitations set forth in the Security Agreement) of such Loan Party which constitutes Collateral, on such terms as may be required pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents.
(b)    The U.S. Borrower and each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party will cause (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries, other than (x) any Domestic Subsidiary taxed as a partnership or a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes that holds Capital Stock of a Foreign Subsidiary whose Equity Interests are pledged pursuant to clause (ii) below and, (y) and any Receivables Subsidiary or Business Securitization Subsidiary and (z) any Subsidiary created pursuant to and solely for the purpose of Section 6.06(r), and (ii) (A) 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas.

(c)    For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) at any time meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in subclauses (i) through (xxvxxvi) of clause (b) of this Section 6.01 or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 6.01, the U.S. Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one or more of the above clauses at such time; provided that (x) all Indebtedness outstanding under the Loan Documents shall at all times be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception in subclause (ii) of Section 6.01(b), (y) all Indebtedness outstanding under any Receivables Facility shall at all times be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception in subclause (i) of Section 6.01(b) and (z) Indebtedness in respect of any Business Securitization Facility shall at all times be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception in subclause (iv) of Section 6.01(b).

(e)    For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that, if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased.
(f)    The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (a) or (b) of this Section 6.01, no Restricted Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor shall incur any Indebtedness or issue any Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in reliance on Section 6.01(a) or under clauses (xvi), (xix) (except in the case of such clause (xix), Indebtedness under any working capital facility or otherwise incurred in the ordinary course of business to finance the operations of such Restricted Subsidiary), (xx), (xxii) and (xxiv) (the foregoing provisions (except to the extent specifically excluded) being referred to collectively as the “Limited Guarantor Debt Exceptions”) if the amount of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock, when aggregated with the amount of all other 

Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock outstanding under the Limited Guarantor Debt Exceptions (together with any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) would exceed $500.0 million; provided, that in no event shall any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (i) existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) assumed in connection with any acquisition, merger or acquisition of minority interests of a non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (and in the case of subclauses (i) and (ii), not created in contemplation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary or such acquisition, merger or acquisition of minority interests) be deemed to be Indebtedness outstanding under the Limited Guarantor Debt Exceptions for purposes of this clause (g).

Holdings and the U.S. Borrower will not, and the U.S. Borrower will not permit any of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any asset or property of Holdings, the U.S. Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary now owned or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom.

; provided that for each Permitted Investment consummated in any fiscal year pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” the maximum amounts set forth above for such fiscal year and for every fiscal year thereafter shall be increased by an amount equal to 3.0% of the total revenues of the Acquired Entity or Business for such Permitted Investment for the last four full fiscal quarters preceding the date of consummation of such Permitted Investment as determined in financial statements for the Acquired Entity or Business prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 5.01. 
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) above, (i) to the extent that the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures made by the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries in any fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.11(a) is less than the maximum amount of Capital Expenditures permitted by Section 6.11(a) with respect to such fiscal year (the “Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount”), the amount of such difference (the “Rollover Amount”) may be carried forward and used to make Capital Expenditures in the following succeeding fiscal year (with the amount of Capital Expenditures made in such succeeding fiscal year being applied first to the Rollover Amount), (ii) if Capital Expenditures made by the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries during any fiscal year exceed the sum of (x) the Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount for such fiscal year plus (y) the Rollover Amount available in such fiscal year, if any, an amount equal to 50% of the Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount for the next succeeding fiscal year (each such amount, a “carry-back amount”) may be carried back to the immediately prior fiscal year and utilized to make such Capital Expenditures in such prior fiscal year (it being understood and agreed that (a) no carry-back amount may be carried back beyond the fiscal year immediately prior to the fiscal year of such Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount and (b) the portion of the carry-back amount actually utilized in any fiscal year shall be deducted from the Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount in the fiscal year from which it was carried back).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Disposition of a Designated Business shall not be deemed to 

fundamentally and substantially alter the character of the business, taken as a whole of the U.S. Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(i)    ERISA.  (i) An ERISA Event occurs with respect to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in liability of any Loan Party under Title IV of ERISA in an aggregate amount which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate fails to pay when due, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect to its withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan in an aggregate amount which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or

Any material provision of any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder (including as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 6.03 or 6.05) or as a result of acts or omissions by the Agent or any Lender or the Discharge of Obligations, ceases to be in full force and effect; or any Loan Party or Foreign Borrower contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document; or any Loan Party or Foreign Borrower denies in writing that it has any or further liability or obligation under any Loan Document (other than as a result of the discharge of such Loan Party’s or Foreign Borrower’s obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), or purports in writing to revoke or rescind any Loan Document; or

policy and such insurer has not denied coverage, or (ii) any of the Equity Interests of the U.S. Borrower ceasing to be pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement free of Liens other than Liens created by the Security Agreement or any nonconsensual Liens arising solely by operation of law, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such Equity Interests or other Collateral have an aggregate fair market value in excess of $100.0 million; or

(ii)    it is over-indebted (Überschuldung) within the meaning of section 19 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordung); or

(iv)    a competent court takes any of the actions set out in section 21 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordung) or a competent court institutes or rejects (for reason of insufficiency of its funds to implement such proceedings) insolvency proceedings against it (Eröffnung des Insolvenzverfahrens).
SECTION 7.02    Remedies upon Event of Default.  If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Agent may and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall take any or all of the following actions (it being understood that during any period during which an Event of Default under Section 6.10 or Section 6.11 exists solely with respect to the Revolving Facilities, the Agent may and at the request of the Required Revolving Lenders, shall take any of the actions described below solely as they relate to the Revolving Facilities):
(a)    declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank to issue, amend or renew Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;
(b)    declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers and require all outstanding Letters of Credit to be cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.04(j); and
(c)    exercise on behalf of itself, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable law;
provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the U.S. Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank to issue, amend or renew Letters of Credit shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender.

In connection with any acceleration of the Obligations as contemplated above, the Designated Obligations shall, automatically and with no further action required by the Agent, any Loan Party or any Lender, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, determined as of the date of such acceleration (or, in the case of any LC Disbursements following the date of such acceleration, as of the date of drawing under the applicable Letter of Credit) and from and after such date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Designated Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder.
SECTION 7.03    Specified Equity Contributions.  For purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.10, any cash equity contribution (other than in respect of Disqualified Stock of the U.S. Borrower), including Junior Capital, made to the U.S. Borrower or Holdings, as the case may be, on or prior to the day that is 10 days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for a fiscal quarter will, at the request of the U.S. Borrower and provided that the proceeds thereof have been contributed or provided to the U.S. Borrower as (other than in the case of Junior Capital of the U.S. Borrower) cash common equity, be included in the calculation of EBITDA for the purposes of determining compliance with such financial covenant at the end of such fiscal quarter and applicable subsequent periods (any such equity contribution so included in the calculation of EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be a period of at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made, (b) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the U.S. Borrower to be in compliance with Section 6.10 and (c) all Specified Equity Contributions shall be disregarded for any purpose under any Loan Document other than determining compliance with Section 6.10.  To the extent that a Specified Equity Contribution is made with proceeds from Indebtedness constituting Junior Capital and incurred by the U.S. Borrower, the proceeds of such Indebtedness will be used to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.09.
If, after the making of the Specified Equity Contribution and the recalculations of EBITDA pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the U.S. Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.10, the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Event of Default that had occurred shall be deemed cured.
ARTICLE VIII     
 
THE AGENT
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the 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 Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder.
The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action 

or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the U.S. Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), 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.
The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the 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 Agent.
Each of the Lenders, the Issuers and the Loan Parties agree, that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the LC Facility Issuing Bank by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinksTM or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the distribution of material 

through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.  In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders, the Loan Parties and the Issuing Bank and the LC Facility Issuing Bank hereby approve distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
The Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform are provided “as is” and “as available.”  None of the Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory (including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects) is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the approved electronic communications or the approved electronic platform.
Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank, and the Loan Parties agrees that the Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the U.S. Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the U.S. Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, no consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the LC Facility Issuing Bank appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Borrower.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.  After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub‐agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.  Any such resignation by the Agent hereunder shall, unless otherwise consented to by such Agent, also constitute the resignation of such Agent (and its Affiliates) as a Swingline Lender hereunder (in which case the U.S. Borrower may appoint a replacement Swingline Lender reasonably acceptable to the new Agent).
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem 

appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
The co-arrangers, joint bookrunners, co-syndication agents and the co-documentation agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.
Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to, upon the request of the U.S. Borrower, enter into any Receivables Facility Intercreditor Agreement with any agent under any Receivables Facility of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof that are applicable to it thereunder.
For the purpose of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of certain of the security under the Collateral Documents, each of the Loan Parties hereby agrees and covenants with the Agent by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis) that each of them shall pay to the Agent sums equal to, and in the currency of, any sums owing by it to a Secured Party (other than the Agent) under any Loan Document (the “Principal Domestic Obligations”) as and when the same fall due for payment under the relevant Loan Document (the “Parallel Domestic Obligations”). 
Further all Foreign Borrowers and Foreign Guarantors (as defined in the Foreign Borrower Cross-Guarantee) hereby agree and covenant with the Agent by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis) that each of them shall pay to the Agent sums equal to, and in the currency of, any sums owing by it to a Secured Party (other than the Agent) under any Loan Document (the “Principal Foreign Obligations,” together with the “Principal Domestic Obligations” the “Principal Obligations”) as and when the same fall due for payment under the relevant Loan Document (the “Parallel Foreign Obligations,” and together with the Parallel Domestic Obligations, the “Parallel Obligations”).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, the Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the Parallel Obligations by the Loan Parties, Foreign Borrowers and Foreign Guarantors. The rights of the Secured Parties to receive payment of the Principal Obligations are several from the rights of the Agent to receive the Parallel Obligations; provided that the payment by a Loan Party, Foreign Borrower or Foreign Guarantor of its Parallel Obligations to the Agent in accordance with this paragraph and the immediately preceding paragraph shall be a good discharge of the corresponding Principal Obligations and the payment by a Loan Party, Foreign Borrower or Foreign Guarantor of its corresponding Principal Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents shall be a good discharge of the relevant Parallel Obligations. In the event of a good discharge of the Principal Obligations the Agent shall not be entitled any more to demand payment of the corresponding Parallel Obligations and such Parallel Obligations shall cease to exist. This shall apply accordingly in the event of a good discharge of the Parallel Obligations to the corresponding Principal Obligations. Despite the foregoing, any payment under the Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, unless expressly stated otherwise in the Secured Documents (save for this paragraph and the immediately preceding paragraph) or unless the Agent directs such payment to be made to the Agent.
In the case a Parallel Foreign Obligation corresponds to an obligation of a Foreign Guarantor incorporated in Germany as a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) (a “German GmbH Guarantor”) or established in Germany as a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) with a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) as general partner (a “German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor” together with 

any German GmbH Guarantor hereinafter referred to as “German Guarantor”), the enforcement of such Parallel Foreign Obligation and indemnity granted pursuant to this Article VIII shall be limited in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 (f) and (g) of the Foreign Borrower Cross-Guarantee, applying such provisions mutatis mutandis to the relevant Parallel Foreign Obligation.

All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received or (ii) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent and when receipt has been confirmed by telephone, provided that if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.
(b)    Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.09 or Compliance Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the applicable Lender.  The Agent or the U.S. Borrower (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (b)(i) of any required notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

SECTION 9.02    Waivers; Amendments.
(a)    No failure or delay by the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the making of a Loan, the funding of an LC Facility Deposit or issuing of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any such amendment to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Documents), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article IV or the waiver of any Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or reimbursement obligation hereunder with respect to LC Disbursements or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder or change the currency in which any such amount is required to be paid, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (C) extend the date of which the LC Facility Deposits are required to be returned to the LC Facility Lenders, (D) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder or the reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the provisions of Section 2.11(c) providing for the default rate of interest, or to waive any obligations of any Borrower to pay interest at such default rate, (E) change Section 2.16(a) or (b) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (F) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Required Class Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (G) release any material Loan Guarantor or the U.S. Borrower from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (H) except as provided in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise (x) affect the rights or duties of the Agent, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent, Issuing Bank or LC Facility Issuing Bank, as applicable or (y) make any change to the documents that by its terms affects the rights of any Class of Lenders to receive payments in any manner different than any other Class of Lenders without the written consent of the Required Class Lenders of such Class; and provided, further, that no amendment, modification, waiver of or consent with respect to any of the terms and provisions (and related definitions) of Sections 6.10 or 6.11 shall be effective without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders and any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall be effective with the written consent of only the Required Revolving Lenders (or the Agent with the prior written consent thereof), on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no amendment shall require any U.S. Revolving Lender to make Revolving Loans to a Borrower other than the U.S. Borrower without the consent of such U.S. Revolving Lender.
(c)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the Discharge of Obligations, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of the property constituting such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii)  subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Loan Guarantor, upon the release of such Loan Guarantor from its obligations under its Loan Guaranty in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (v) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Collateral Documents; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Lien on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $5.0 million during each fiscal year without consent of any Lender.  Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon 

(or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral to the extent required under the provisions of the Loan Documents.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.02, guarantees and related documents, if any, executed by Foreign Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Agent and may be amended and waived with the consent of the Agent at the request of the U.S. Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(e)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the U.S. Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement (or to replace such Non-Consenting Lender from the Class for which consent is being sought); provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and the Agent, and, with respect to assignees that are Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank and, with respect to assignees that are LC Facility Lenders, the LC Facility Issuing Bank shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b)(ii) of Section 9.04, (ii) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by such Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.14 and 2.15 (assuming that the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender have been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender).
SECTION 9.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a)    The U.S. Borrower shall pay (and, to the extent directly attributable to the facilities provided to any Foreign Borrower hereunder, each Foreign Borrower shall jointly and severally with the U.S. Borrower be obligated to pay) (i) all reasonable documented out‐of‐pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, counsel for the Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation of the Loan Documents and related documentation, (ii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside legal counsel to the Agent, in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (iii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank or the Lenders, including the reasonable documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the LC Facility Issuing Bank and for one law firm retained by the Lenders (and such additional counsel as the Agent or any Lender or group of Lenders determines are necessary in light of actual or potential conflicts of interest or the availability of different claims of defenses), in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans and other extensions of credit made hereunder, including all such reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or related negotiations in respect of such Loans, and (iv) subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, of the Loan Documents or of any separate agreement entered into by the Borrowers and the Agent with respect thereto, all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in the administration of the Loan Documents.  Expenses reimbursable by the U.S. Borrower under this Section include, without 

limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any other applicable provision of any Loan Document, reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with:
(i)    lien and title searches and title insurance; and
(ii)    taxes, fees and other charges for recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Agent’s Liens.
(b)    The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the LC Facility Issuing Bank and each Lender, in their capacities as such, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (except for any Related Party that is an initial purchaser of the Senior Notes acting in its capacity as such) (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to any property owned or operated by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c)    To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as such.
(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any Related Party thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan, any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e)    Other than to the extent required to be paid on the Closing Date, all amounts due under clauses (a) and (b) shall be payable by the applicable Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an invoice relating thereto and setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.  All amounts due from the Lenders under clause (c) shall be paid promptly after written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.04    Successors and Assigns.
(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as permitted by Section 6.03 or the definition of “Change of Control,” no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any such Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section (any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section 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 paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    (i)  Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, LC Facility Participation (including its rights in respect of its LC Facility Deposit as provided herein) or the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
(A)    the U.S. Borrower; provided that no consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required for an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (f) or (g) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, any other Eligible Assignee and provided further that no consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required for an assignment during the primary syndication of the Loans and LC Facility Participation to Persons identified by the Agent to the U.S. Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date and reasonably acceptable to the U.S. Borrower (as evidenced by a letter of the U.S. Borrower to the Agent); and
(B)    the Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender, in each case, under the applicable Revolving Facility).
(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, LC Facility Participation or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or LC Facility Participation or the principal amount of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent and determined on an aggregate basis in the event of concurrent assignments to Related Funds (as defined below)) (x) in the case of the Revolving Facility, shall not be less than $5.0 million and (y) in the case of a U.S. Term Loan, U.S. Term B Loan, U.S. Term C Loan, U.S. Term D Loan or LC Facility Participation, shall not be less than $1.0 million or an integral multiple of $1.0 million in excess thereof (in the case of U.S. Term Loans, U.S. Term B Loan, U.S. Term C Loan, U.S. Term D Loan and LC Facility Participations), £500,000 or an integral multiple of £500,000 in excess thereof (in the case of U.K. Term Loans or U.K. Term B Loans), €1.0 million or an integral multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof (in the case of German Term Loans, German Term-1 B Loans, German Term-2 B Loans, Irish Term Loans or Irish Term B Loans) or ¥100.0 million or an integral multiple of ¥100.0 million in excess thereof, unless, in each case, each of the U.S. Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (f) or (g) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;
(B)    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 (it being understood that non pro rata assignments of different Classes of Loans, LC Facility Participations and Commitments shall be permitted);
(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Agent, manually); 

(D)    the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver on or prior to the effective date of such assignment, to the Agent (1) an Administrative Questionnaire together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except such fee shall not be required for assignments in connection with the primary syndication of the Loans and LC Facility Participations and provided that the Agent may in its sole discretion elect to waive such fee) and (2) if applicable, an appropriate Internal Revenue Service form (such as Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or any successor form adopted by the relevant United States taxing authority) as required by applicable law supporting such assignee’s position that no withholding by the U.S. Borrower or the Agent for United States income tax payable by such assignee in respect of amounts received by it with respect to a U.S. Revolving Loan or U.S. Term Loan hereunder is required; and
(E)    if the proposed assignment relates to an assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of such Lender’s interest under the Canadian Revolving Facility, notice of such assignment shall have been given to the U.S. Borrower.
The term “Related Funds” shall mean with respect to any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any other Approved Fund that is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or 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 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv)    The Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, or principal amount of the Loans or LC Facility Participations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and tax certifications required by Section 9.04(b)(ii)(D)(2)(unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 

2.02, 2.04, 2.16(c) or 9.03(c), the Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(vi)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, LC Facility Participation and the outstanding balances of its Loans, as applicable, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the U.S. Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c)    (i)  Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or LC Facility Participation or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) each Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Facility Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) in the case of a participation with respect to the U.S. Revolving Loan or U.S. Term Loan, such Lender, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the U.S. Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the amount of each participant’s interest in the Commitments and/or Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”) and which entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  Any such Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of 

the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant.  Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender.
(ii)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the U.S. Borrower’s prior written consent.  No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless it complies with Sections 2.15(h) and (i) as if it were a Lender.
(d)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and including further, in the case of any Lender that is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the U.S. Borrower, the option to provide to a Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to a Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and to 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender, (ii) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.14 or 2.15) unless the grant to the SPC was made with the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent, (iii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iv) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, any Borrower or the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the U.S. Borrower and Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.  Any Lender who grants an option to an SPC to make a Loan to the U.S. Borrower shall, if such option is exercised, maintain a register similar to the Participant Register described in paragraph (c) of this section.
SECTION 9.05    Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other 

instruments  delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Discharge of Obligations or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07    Severability.  To the extent permitted by law, any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08    Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The applicable Lender shall notify such Borrower and the Agent of such setoff or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff or application under this Section.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AT ANY TIME THAT ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LENDER’S LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE LENDERS REQUIRED BY SECTION 9.02 OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING 

WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE PARTIES AS REQUIRED ABOVE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.  THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS.
SECTION 9.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)    THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b)    Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)    Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)    Each of the Foreign Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers ARAMARK Corporation (the “Process Agent”), in the case of any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering a copy of such process to such Foreign Borrower in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and each of the Foreign Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf.  As an alternative method of service, each of the Foreign Borrowers irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the Process Agent or such Foreign Borrower at its address specified in Section 9.01.
(e)    To the extent permitted by law, each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all process upon it and agrees that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to it at its address for notices as provided for in Section 9.01 or, in the case of any Foreign Borrower, as provided for in Section 9.09(d).  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(f)    If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Sterling or Yen into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Sterling or Yen, as the case may be, with such other currency at the spot rate of exchange quoted by the Agent at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given, for the purchase of Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Sterling or Yen, as the case may be, for delivery two Business Days thereafter.  The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent in the Agreement Currency, each Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.
SECTION 9.10    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 9.11    Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12    Confidentiality.  The Agent and each Lender agrees (and each Lender agrees to cause its SPC, if any) to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory, governmental or administrative authority, (c) to the extent required by law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially similar to or consistent with those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any SPC, (ii) any pledgee referred to in Section 9.04(d) or (iii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the U.S. Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information 

received from any Loan Party or any Foreign Borrower relating to the Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, the Sponsors or the Transactions other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries or that becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by such Agent or Lender of its obligations hereunder.  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 substantially the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 9.13    Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law.  The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that (a) it is not relying on or looking to any Margin Stock for the repayment of the Borrowings and other credit extensions provided for herein and acknowledges that the Collateral shall not include any Margin Stock and (b) it is not and will not become a “creditor” as defined in Regulation T or a “foreign branch of a broker-dealer” within the meaning of Regulation X.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to any Borrower in violation of any Requirement of Law.
SECTION 9.14    USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act or the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of such Act or Acts, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower in accordance with such Acts.
SECTION 9.15    Disclosure.  Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates. In addition, each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges that Affiliates of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Agent and certain of the Lenders will be initial purchasers of the Senior Notes.
SECTION 9.16    Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
ARTICLE X     
 
LOAN GUARANTY

SECTION 10.01    Guaranty.
(a)    Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations (collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.
(b)    The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations (other than Secured Obligations that are expressly the obligations of the U.S. Borrower pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, which Secured Obligations shall continue to be the primary obligations of the U.S. Borrower) (collectively the “U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations”).  The U.S. Borrower further agrees that the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.  The provisions of this Article X (other than Section 10.12) shall apply equally to the U.S. Borrower as guarantor of the U.S. Borrower Guaranteed Obligations as to the Loan Guarantors as guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 10.02    Guaranty of Payment.  This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Agent or any Lender to sue any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 10.03    No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
(b)    The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
(c)    Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by:  (i) the failure of the Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Agent or 

any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).
SECTION 10.04    Defenses Waived.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person.  The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.
SECTION 10.05    Rights of Subrogation.  No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agent and the Lenders.
SECTION 10.06    Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration.  If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.
SECTION 10.07    Information.  Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
SECTION 10.08    Taxes.  All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes unless such deduction or withholding is required by law; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct or 

withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law (and as soon as practicable after having done so, shall deliver to the Agent the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment).
SECTION 10.09    Maximum Liability.  The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”).  This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.  Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.
SECTION 10.10    Contribution.  In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor.  For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from any Borrower after the Closing Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from any Borrower after the Closing Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means).  Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability).  Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive 

any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.  This provision is for the benefit of both the Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.
SECTION 10.11    Liability Cumulative.  The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
SECTION 10.12    Release of Loan Guarantors.  Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary (i) a Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Domestic Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (A) if a Loan Guarantor is or becomes an Immaterial Subsidiary, and such release would not result in any Immaterial Subsidiary being required pursuant to Section 5.11(e) to become a Loan Party hereunder (except to the extent that on and as of the date of such release, one or more other Immaterial Subsidiaries become Loan Guarantors hereunder and the provisions of Section 5.11(e) are satisfied upon giving effect to all such additions and releases), (B) a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 6.07 or (C) a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as a Receivables Subsidiary in connection with a Receivables Facility otherwise permitted hereunder or a Business Securitization Subsidiary in connection with a Business Securitization Facility otherwise permitted hereunder, in each case if such Restricted Subsidiary owns no assets or engages in no activities other than such assets or activities which are the subject of such Receivables Facility or Business Securitization Facility, as applicable, then in the case of each of clauses (A), (B) and (C), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released upon notification thereof from the U.S. Borrower to the Agent.  In connection with any such release, the Agent shall execute and deliver to any Subsidiary Guarantor, at such Subsidiary Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 10.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent.
