6.    Severance Benefits Upon Certain Terminations Prior to a Change in Control.  Except in the event of termination of Executive’s employment (i) due to Executive’s death or Disability, (ii) due to Executive’s voluntary resignation or termination, in either case without Good Reason, (iii) by the Company for Cause, or (iv) after a Change in Control under the circumstances and within the time limits provided in Section 7, and subject to the Waiver and Release requirement described in Section 6(c) and the forfeiture provision in Section 16, Executive’s right to compensation and benefits for periods after the Termination Date shall be determined in accordance with this Section 6, as follows:
(a)    Cash Payments.  In the event that during the Term of Employment, (i) Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause, or (ii) Executive terminates her  own employment hereunder for Good Reason, then in either such event under clause (i) or (ii), the following cash payments shall be provided to Executive or, in the event of her  death before receiving such benefits, to her  Designated Beneficiary following her  death:
(1)    the Company shall pay to Executive as additional compensation (the “Additional Payment”), an amount which is equal to “Total Cash” (defined below) multiplied by 1.5 (the “Severance Multiplier”).  “Total Cash” means the greater of (x) or (y), where (x) equals the greater of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the date Notice of Termination is given or on the date immediately prior to her  Termination Date plus Executive’s current target annual incentive cash compensation; and (y) equals the sum of Executive’s highest Base Salary paid and highest annual incentive cash compensation earned with respect to any of the three calendar years immediately preceding the year containing the Termination Date.  For clauses (x) and (y) of this definition:  (a) the calculation of the annual incentive cash compensation of Executive shall include a calendar year during which Executive was employed by the Company and a participant in an annual incentive cash compensation plan even if Executive did not earn any annual incentive cash compensation for that calendar year and (b) the “target annual incentive cash compensation” for Executive for the calendar year of the Company in which the Termination Date occurs shall be the amount identified in Section 2(b) as the “target”, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(b); the Additional Payment shall be paid to Executive in a cash lump sum payment on the 60th day following the Termination Date, but only if the Waiver and Release has been timely executed and returned and the revocation period has expired;
(2)    a portion of her  annual incentive cash compensation equal to the annual incentive cash compensation as provided in Section 2(b) based on actual performance, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days from the commencement of the year in which such termination occurs through the Termination Date, and the denominator of which equals; any such annual incentive cash compensation shall be paid in a cash lump sum on the normal annual incentive cash compensation payment date for Senior Officers whose employment has continued, and in no event later than the end of the year following the year in which the Termination Date occurs, but only if the Waiver and Release has been timely executed and returned and the revocation period has expired;

4

(3)    if her Termination Date occurs after the end of the Company’s fiscal year and prior to the payment of her  annual incentive cash compensation for such year, the same annual incentive cash compensation to which she would have been entitled had her employment continued through the normal annual incentive cash compensation payment date, if any; such annual incentive cash compensation shall be paid in a cash lump sum on the normal annual incentive cash compensation payment date for Senior Officers whose employment has continued, and in no event later than the end of the year in which the Termination Date occurs, but only if the Waiver and Release has been timely executed and returned and the revocation period has expired; 
(4)    her Base Salary for the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the Termination Date occurs; any such amount shall be paid to Executive in a cash lump sum payment on the 60th day following the Termination Date, but only if the Waiver and Release has been timely executed and returned and the revocation period has expired; and
(5)    an amount determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion to compensate the Executive for eighteen months of health and dental insurance coverage comparable to the coverage provided to the Executive by the Company prior to the Termination Date (the “COBRA Payment”); any such amount shall be paid to Executive in a cash lump sum payment on the 60th day following the Termination Date, but only if the Waiver and Release has been timely executed and returned and the revocation period has expired. 
The COBRA Payment shall be provided in a manner that is intended to either comply with Code Section 409A or satisfy an exception to Code Section 409A, and therefore not be treated as an arrangement providing for nonqualified deferred compensation that is subject to taxation under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Company in its discretion, including (a) providing such benefits on a nontaxable basis to Executive, (b) providing for the reimbursement of covered expenses incurred during the time period during which Executive would be entitled to continuation coverage under a group health plan of the Company in accordance with Code Section 4980B (i.e., COBRA Coverage), (c) providing that such benefits constitute the reimbursement or provision of in-kind benefits payable at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule as permitted under Code Section 409A and the authoritative guidance thereunder, and/or (d) such other manner as determined by the Company in compliance with Code Section 409A.
(b)    No Benefits.  In the event that (i) Executive voluntarily resigns or otherwise voluntarily terminates her own employment at any time, in either case without Good Reason, (ii) her  employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or (iii) her  employment is terminated due to her  death or Disability, then the Company shall have no obligation to provide any severance benefits under Section 6(a).  In any such event, Executive and her  covered dependents, if any, shall be entitled to only elect continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan and group dental plan pursuant to COBRA and the Company’s procedures for COBRA administration after her  Termination Date.

5

(c)    Waiver and Release.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, in order to receive the severance benefits payable under Section 6(a) or Section 7, as applicable, Executive must first execute an appropriate waiver and release agreement (substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix B) (the “Waiver and Release”) whereby Executive agrees to release and waive, in return for such severance benefits, any claims that she may have against the Company including, without limitation for unlawful discrimination (including, without limitation, any claims for discrimination under any federal or state statute or regulation); provided, however, such Waiver and Release shall not release any claim or cause of action by or on behalf of Executive for any payment or vested benefit that is due under either the Agreement or any employee benefit plan or program of the Company until fully paid prior to the receipt thereof.  Executive shall have 21 days after receipt of the Waiver and Release to consider and timely execute and return it to the Company.  After return, Executive shall have an additional seven days in which she can revoke the Waiver and Release; thereafter, the Waiver and Release shall be irrevocable.  The Company shall provide the Waiver and Release to Executive no later than five days after her  Termination Date.  If the Waiver and Release is not timely executed and returned, or it is revoked within the seven-day revocation period, no benefits shall be paid under any of Section 6(a) or Section 7.
(d)    No Duplication.  The severance payments provided under the Agreement shall supersede and replace any severance payments under any severance pay plan that the Company or any Affiliate maintains for employees generally.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event that a severance payment under the Agreement would constitute a change in the form or timing of payment under Code Section 409A of any severance benefit otherwise payable to Executive under any other plan or other arrangement, then the portion of the severance payment payable under the Agreement that is equal to the amount payable under such other severance arrangement shall be paid in the form, and at the time, applicable under such other severance arrangement and, in such event, any excess severance payment as determined under the Agreement shall be paid in the time and form as specified in the Agreement.  
7.    Severance Benefits Upon Certain Terminations Following a Change in Control.  Except in the event of termination of Executive’s employment (i) due to Executive’s death or Disability, (ii) due to Executive’s voluntary resignation or termination, in either case without Good Reason, (iii) by the Company for Cause, or (iv) prior to a Change in Control under the circumstances and within the time limits provided in Section 6, and subject to the Waiver and Release requirement described in Section 6(c) and the forfeiture provision in Section 16, Executive’s right to compensation and benefits for periods after the Termination Date and after a Change in Control shall be determined in accordance with this Section 7, as follows:
(a)    The provisions of this Section 7 shall not apply unless (a) there shall have been a Change in Control during the Term of Employment, and (b) Executive’s employment with the Company shall have been terminated for any reason other than Cause by the Company within two years after the date of such Change in Control, or Executive shall have 

6

terminated her  employment from the Company for Good Reason within two years after the date of such Change in Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Term of Employment shall automatically be extended so that it expires on the second anniversary of the Change in Control.
(b)    If the Company terminates Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason other than Cause, or if Executive terminates her  employment with the Company for Good Reason prior to the second anniversary of a Change in Control, then Executive’s severance benefits shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 6, after taking into account the modifications in this Section 7, as follows:
(1)    the Severance Multiplier for purposes of determining the amount of the Additional Payment under Section 6(a)(1) shall be two (2); such Additional Payment shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum cash payment on the 60th day following the Termination Date, but only if the Waiver and Release has been timely executed and returned and the revocation period has expired;
(2)    a portion of her annual incentive cash compensation equal to the annual incentive cash compensation as provided in Section 2(b) based on actual performance, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which equals the number of days from the commencement of the year in which such termination occurs through the Termination Date, and the denominator of which equals 365; any such annual incentive cash compensation shall be paid in a cash lump sum on the normal annual incentive cash compensation payment date for Senior Officers whose employment has continued, and in no event later than the end of the year following the year in which the Termination Date occurs, but only if the Waiver and Release has been timely executed and returned and the revocation period has expired;
(3)    if her Termination Date occurs after the end of the Company’s fiscal year and prior to the payment of her  annual incentive cash compensation for such year, the same annual incentive cash compensation to which she would have been entitled had her  employment continued through the normal annual incentive cash compensation payment date, if any; such annual incentive cash compensation shall be paid in a cash lump sum on the normal annual incentive cash compensation payment date for Senior Officers whose employment has continued, and in no event later than the end of the year in which the Termination Date occurs, but only if the Waiver and Release has been timely executed and returned and the revocation period has expired;
(4)    her  Base Salary for the period commencing on the Termination Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the Termination Date occurs; any such amount shall be paid to Executive in a lump sum cash payment on the 60th day following the Termination Date, but only if the Waiver and Release has been timely executed and returned and the revocation period has expired;
(5)    payment approximating the costs for group health and dental benefits under Section 6(a)(5) shall be increased to approximate the costs for providing for 36 months 

7

of health and dental insurance coverage comparable to the coverage provided to the Executive by the Company prior to the Termination Date from the Termination Date, provided Executive complies with the otherwise applicable requirements of Section 6 (such benefits described in this Section 7(b)(5) herein referred to as “Continuation Coverage”);
(6)    the Continuation Coverage shall be provided in a manner that is intended to either comply with Code Section 409A or satisfy an exception to Code Section 409A, and therefore not treated as an arrangement providing for nonqualified deferred compensation that is subject to taxation under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Company in its discretion, including (a) providing such benefits on a nontaxable basis to Executive, (b) in the case of group health and dental benefits, providing for the reimbursement of covered expenses incurred during the time period during which Executive would be entitled to continuation coverage under a group health plan of the Company in accordance with Code Section 4980B (i.e., COBRA coverage), (c) providing that such benefits constitute the reimbursement or provision of in-kind benefits payable at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule as permitted under Code Section 409A and the authoritative guidance thereunder, and/or (d) such other manner as determined by the Company in compliance with Code Section 409A;
(7)    In determining whether Executive has Good Reason to terminate her  employment with the Company following a Change in Control, there shall also be treated as events of Good Reason:
(A)    the events described in clause D of the definition of Good Reason without regard to whether such changes apply to Senior Officers on the same basis;
(B)    the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely affect Executive’s participation in or materially reduce her benefits under or deprive Executive of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by her at the time of a Change in Control, or the failure by the Company to provide Executive with the number of hours of paid time off to which she was entitled in accordance with the Company policies in effect at the time of a Change in Control;
(C)    any loss of significant authority, power or control over that exercised by Executive immediately prior to the Change in Control (including a change in superior to whom Executive reports);
(D)    if the Company becomes a division, a wholly or majority-owned subsidiary or other similar captive entity of another person or entity or combination thereof (i.e. of a “parent”); and if Executive is not placed in the identical or equivalent position within the parent person or entity, then such occurrence will be deemed to be an assignment of duties materially inconsistent with Executive’s position as described above thereby constituting Good Reason; and
(E)    any failure by the Company to continue in effect any plan or arrangement to receive securities of the Company (including any plan or arrangement to 

8

receive and exercise stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or grants thereof or to acquire stock or other securities of the Company) in which Executive is participating at the time of a Change in Control (unless substitute plans or arrangements are implemented and continued providing Executive with substantially similar benefits with respect to the Company’s successor after a Change in Control) (hereinafter referred to as “Securities Plans”) or the taking of any action by the Company which would adversely affect Executive’s participation in or materially reduce her  benefits under any such Securities Plan.
(c)    Expenses.  The Company shall pay to Executive all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by her as a result of the termination of her employment after a Change in Control other than by the Company for Cause or by reason of death incurred in contesting or disputing any such termination or in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided by Section 7 of the Agreement, provided Executive establishes that her  termination was covered by the provisions of this Section 7.  Such reimbursements or payments shall be made upon Executive’s substantiation of such legal expenses; provided, however, that in no event shall reimbursement be made later than the end of the year following the year in which Executive incurs the expenses.
(d)    No Benefits.  In the event that (i) Executive voluntarily resigns or otherwise voluntarily terminates her own employment at any time, in either case without Good Reason, (ii) her employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or (iii) her  employment is terminated due to her  death or Disability, then the Company shall have no obligation to provide any severance benefits under Section 7.  In any such event, Executive and her covered dependents, if any, shall be entitled to only elect continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan and group dental plan pursuant to COBRA and the Company’s procedures for COBRA administration after her Termination Date.
(e)    Legal Fees and Dispute Resolution.  In the event that following a Change in Control the employment of Executive is terminated for Cause for a reason set out in Section 39, the Company will advance reasonable legal fees to Executive in the event Executive contests such termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 28 otherwise requiring arbitration, Executive may at her election contest whether Cause exists by means of litigation but only in courts within Houston, Harris County, Texas.  No legal fees are to be advanced to cover the costs of Executive’s presentation of the matter to the Board as described in Section 39.  Executive shall prepare a written estimate of legal fees expected to be incurred in the following 90 days and submit same to the Company; such estimated amount shall be paid by the Company to Executive within 10 days of receipt of the written estimate.  At the end of the 90 days, and each 90 days thereafter, Executive shall prepare and submit a subsequent written estimate and copies of paid invoices for legal services rendered during such 90-day period; such subsequent estimate shall include an offset in the event estimated fees for the preceding 90-day period exceeded actual fees incurred.  The Company agrees to pay such subsequent estimates within 10 days of receipt of same.  Within 10 days of resolution of the matter, Executive will submit an appropriate accounting of actual and estimated expenses and refund to the Company any amount by which the estimated fees exceeded the actual fees incurred.  Unless the Executive 

9

substantially prevails in the matter, Executive will reimburse the Company for all amounts advanced hereunder within 10 days of resolution of the matter.
(f)    Potential Reduction in Payments. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, if any Payment would be subject to the Excise Tax, then the Payment shall be either (i) delivered in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) reduced in accordance with this Section 7(f) to the extent necessary to avoid the Excise Tax, based on which of (i) or (ii) would result in the greater Net After-Tax Receipt to Executive.
If Payments are reduced, the reduction shall be accomplished first by reducing cash Payments under this Agreement, in the order in which such cash Payments otherwise would be paid and then by forfeiting any equity-based awards that vest as a result of the Change in Control, starting with the most recently granted equity-based awards, to the extent necessary to accomplish such reduction.
All determinations under this Section 7(f) shall be made by the Company’s independent accountants or compensation consultants (the “Third Party”) and all such determinations shall be conclusive, final and binding on the parties hereto.  The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Third Party such information and documents as the Third Party may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 7(f).  The Company shall bear all reasonable fees and costs of the Third Party with respect to determinations under or contemplated by this Section 7(f).
8.    Notice of Termination.  Any termination by the Company or Executive of her employment from the Company shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other Party hereto.  For purposes of the Agreement, the term “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which indicates the specific termination provision of the Agreement relied upon and sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.
9.    Mitigation.  Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for under the Agreement by seeking other employment or in any other manner.
10.    Confidential Information.
(a)    Access to Confidential Information and Specialized Training.  In connection with her  employment and continuing on an ongoing basis during employment, the Company agrees to give Executive access to Confidential Information (as defined below) (including, without limitation, Confidential Information of the Company’s Affiliates and subsidiaries), which Executive did not have access to or knowledge of before Executive’s employment with the Company.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that, as between the Parties, all Confidential Information is and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company and that all Confidential Information is confidential and a valuable, special and unique asset of the Company that gives the Company an advantage over its actual and potential, current and future competitors.  Executive further acknowledges and agrees that Executive shall preserve and protect all Confidential Information from unauthorized 

10

disclosure or unauthorized use, that certain Confidential Information may constitute “trade secrets” under applicable laws, and that unauthorized disclosure or unauthorized use of the Company’s Confidential Information would irreparably injure the Company.
The Company agrees to provide Executive with initial and ongoing Specialized Training, which Executive does not have access to or knowledge of before the execution of the Agreement, and the Company agrees to continue providing such Specialized Training on an ongoing basis during employment.  “Specialized Training” includes the training the Company provides to Executive that is unique to its business and enhances Executive’s ability to perform her  job duties effectively, which includes, without limitation, orientation training; sales methods/techniques training; operation methods training; and computer and systems training.
(b)    Agreement Not to Use or Disclose Confidential Information.  Both during the term of Executive’s employment and after the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason (including wrongful termination), Executive shall hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence, and shall not use any Confidential Information except for the benefit of the Company, in accordance with the duties assigned to Executive.  Executive shall not, at any time (either during or after the term of Executive’s employment), disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity (except other employees of the Company who have a need to know the information in connection with the performance of their employment duties), without the prior written consent of the Board, or permit any other person in the Executive’s immediate family (which shall mean the spouse and children of the Executive) to do so; provided, however, Executive may make such disclosures to third parties where the disclosure is made during the Employment Period to third parties who have executed confidentiality agreements acceptable to the Company.  Executive shall take reasonable precautions to protect the physical security of all documents and other material containing Confidential Information (regardless of the medium on which the Confidential Information is stored).  The Agreement applies to all Confidential Information, whether now known or later to become known to Executive.
(c)    Agreement to Refrain from Derogatory Statements.  Executive shall refrain, both during the employment relationship and after the employment relationship terminates, from publishing any oral or written statements about the Company or any of its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents, investors or representatives that are untruthful and harmful to the business interest or reputation of the Company or any of its Affiliates; or that disclose private or confidential information about the Company or any of its Affiliates’ business affairs, directors, officers, employees, agents, investors or representatives; or that constitute an intrusion into the seclusion or private lives of the Company’s or any of its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents, investors or representatives; or that give rise to negative publicity about the private lives of such directors, officers, employees, agents, investors or representatives; or that place such directors, officers, employees, agents, investors or representatives in a false light before the public; or that constitute a misappropriation of the name or likeness of such directors, officers, employees, agents, investors or representatives.  A violation or threatened violation of this prohibition may be 

11

enjoined.  This Section does not apply to communications with regulatory authorities or other communications protected or required by law.
(d)    Definition of Confidential Information.  As used in the Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean any information or material known to or used by or for the Company or an Affiliate (whether or not owned or developed by the Company or an Affiliate and whether or not developed by Executive) that is not generally known to any person not employed by or acting as a director or consultant to the Company or its Affiliates.  Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the following: all trade secrets of the Company or an Affiliate; all non-public information that the Company or an Affiliate has marked as confidential or has otherwise described to Executive (either in writing or orally) as confidential; all non-public information concerning the Company’s or Affiliate’s products, services, prospective products or services, research, product designs, prices, discounts, costs, marketing plans, marketing techniques, market studies, test data, customers, customer lists and records, suppliers and contracts; all business records and plans; all personnel files; all financial information of or concerning the Company or an Affiliate; all information relating to the Company’s operating system software, application software, software and system methodology, hardware platforms, technical information, inventions, computer programs and listings, source codes, object codes, copyrights and other intellectual property; all technical specifications; any proprietary information belonging to the Company or an Affiliate; all computer hardware or software manuals of the Company or an Affiliate; all Company or Affiliate training or instruction manuals; and all Company or Affiliate data and all computer system passwords and user codes. 
11.    Duty to Return Company Documents and Property.  Upon the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, for any reason whatsoever, Executive shall immediately return and deliver to the Company any and all papers, books, records, documents, memoranda and manuals, e-mail, electronic or magnetic recordings or data, including all copies thereof, belonging to the Company, relating to its business or containing Confidential Information, in Executive’s possession, whether prepared by Executive or others.  If at any time after the Employment Period, Executive determines that she has any Confidential Information in her possession or control, Executive shall immediately return to the Company all such Confidential Information in her  possession or control, including all copies and portions thereof.
12.    Employee Developments.  
(a)    Assignment of Employee Developments.  Executive hereby assigns to the Company, without additional compensation, all right, title and interest Executive has in and to any Employee Developments.  If copyright protection is available for any Employee Development, such Employee Development will be considered a “work for hire” as that term is defined under copyright law and will be the exclusive property of the Company.  
(b)    Executive Duties.  During and after Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive shall, without additional compensation: (i) promptly disclose to the Company any Employee Development, specifically identifying any inventions, 

12

improvements or other portions of the Employee Development that are potential patentable or susceptible to protection as a trade secret; (ii) execute and deliver any and all applications, assignments, documents, and other instruments that the Company shall deem necessary to protect the right, title and interest of the Company or its designee in or to any Employee Development; (iii) reasonably cooperate and assist in providing information for making and completing regulatory and other filings in connection with any Employee Development; (iv) reasonably cooperate and assist in providing information for or participating in any action, threatened action, or considered action relating to any Employee Development; and (v) take any and all other actions as the Company may otherwise require with respect to any Employee Development.
(c)    Third Party Obligations.  Executive acknowledges that the Company from time to time may have agreements with other persons or entities which impose obligations or restrictions on the Company regarding development-related work made during the course of work thereunder or regarding the confidential nature of such work.  Executive agrees to be bound by all such obligations and restrictions and to take all action necessary to discharge the obligations of the Company.
(d)    Definition of Employee Developments.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Employee Developments” shall mean all inventions, ideas, and discoveries (whether patentable or not), designs, products, processes, procedures, methods, developments, formulae, techniques, analyses, drawings, notes, documents, information, materials, and improvements, including, but not limited to, computer programs and related documentation, and all intellectual property rights therein, made, conceived, developed, or prepared, in whole or in part, by Executive during the course of employment with the Company, alone or with others, whether or not during work hours or on Company’s premises, which are (i) within the scope of business operations of Company, or a reasonable or contemplated expansion thereof, (ii) related to any Company or Affiliate work or project, present, past or contemplated, (iii) created with the aid of Company’s materials, equipment, facilities or personnel, or (iv) based upon information to which Executive has access as a result of or in connection with her employment with Company.  Executive recognizes that all ideas, inventions, and discoveries of the type described in this Section 12(d), conceived or made by Executive alone or with others within one year after termination of employment (voluntary or otherwise), are likely to have been conceived in significant part either while employed by the Company or as a direct result of knowledge Executive had of proprietary information or Confidential Information.  Accordingly, Executive agrees that such ideas, inventions or discoveries shall be presumed to have been conceived during her employment with the Company, unless and until the contrary is clearly established by Executive, and shall be treated as Employee Developments hereunder.
13.    Non-Solicitation Restriction.  To protect the Confidential Information, and in the event of Executive’s termination of employment for any reason whatsoever, whether by Executive or the Company, it is necessary to enter into the following restrictive covenants, which are ancillary to the enforceable promises between the Company and Executive in Sections 10 through 12 of the Agreement.  Executive hereby covenants and agrees that she 

13

will not, directly or indirectly, either individually or as a principal, partner, agent, consultant, contractor, employee, or as a director or officer of any corporation or association, or in any other manner or capacity whatsoever, except on behalf of the Company or an Affiliate, solicit business, or attempt to solicit business, in products or services competitive with any products or services sold (or offered for sale) by the Company or any Affiliate, from the Company’s or Affiliate’s customers or prospective customer, or those individuals or entities with whom the Company or Affiliate did business during the Employment Period, including, without limitation, the Company’s or Affiliate’s prospective or potential customers.  Subject to Section 17, the prohibition set forth in this Section 13 shall remain in effect for a period of one year from the Termination Date for whatever reason.  
14.    Non-Competition Restriction.  Executive hereby covenants and agrees that during her  employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and for a period of one year following the Termination Date, Executive will not, without the prior written consent of the Board, participate in any capacity in which Executive would perform any duties similar to those performed while at the Company or an Affiliate, directly or indirectly (whether as proprietor, stockholder, director, partner, employee, agent, independent contractor, consultant, trustee, beneficiary, or in any other capacity), with any Competitor; provided, however, Executive shall not be deemed to be participating with a Competitor solely by virtue of her  ownership of not more than one percent (1%) of any class of stock or other securities which are publicly traded on a national securities exchange or in a recognized over-the-counter market.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Competitor” means an individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other business organization or entity that materially competes with a significant business owned or operated by the Company or one of its Affiliates.
15.    Non-Recruitment Restriction.  Executive agrees that during her employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates, and for a period of one year from the Termination Date for whatever reason, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, or by acting in concert with others, solicit or influence any employee of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate or reduce his or her employment with the Company or any Affiliate.  In the event any such employee shall take such action after communicating with Executive at a time when Executive is no longer employed by the Company, a presumption of recruitment shall apply unless Executive conclusively demonstrates to the contrary.
16.    Forfeiture of Severance Payment.  A “Forfeiture Event” for purposes of the Agreement will occur if (a) Executive violates any of the covenants or restrictions contained in Sections 13 through 15, or (b) the Company learns of facts within two years following Executive’s Termination Date that, if had been known by the Reporting Authority as of the Termination Date, would have resulted in the termination of Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause.  In the event of a Forfeiture Event, within 30 days of being notified by the Company in writing of the Forfeiture Event, Executive shall pay to the Company the full the amount of the severance payment received by Executive pursuant to Section 6(a)(1), or such lesser amount as shall be determined to be the maximum reasonable and enforceable amount by a court or arbitrator.  The provisions of this Section 16 are in addition 

14

to any forfeiture provisions of other Company plans, programs or agreements applicable to the Executive.  Executive specifically recognizes and affirms that this Section 16 is a material part of the Agreement without which the Company would not have entered into the Agreement.  Executive further covenants and agrees that should all or any part or application of this Section 16 be held or found invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator in an action between Executive and the Company, then Executive shall promptly pay to the Company the amount of the severance payment received by Executive pursuant to Section 6(a)(1), or such lesser amount as shall be determined to be the maximum reasonable and enforceable amount by a court or arbitrator, as applicable.  
17.    Tolling.  If Executive violates any of the restrictions contained in Sections 10 through 16, the restrictive period will be suspended and will not run in favor of Executive from the time of the commencement of any violation until the time when Executive cures the violation to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction.
18.    Reformation.  If a court or arbitrator concludes that any time period or the geographic area specified in any restrictive covenant in Sections 10 through 16 is unenforceable, then the time period will be reduced by the number of months, or the geographic area will be reduced by the elimination of the overbroad portion, or both, so that the restrictions shall be enforced in the geographic area and for the time to the full extent permitted by law.
19.    Conflicts of Interest.  In keeping with her fiduciary duties to the Company, Executive hereby agrees that she shall not become involved in a conflict of interest, or upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue at any time during the Employment Period.  Moreover, Executive agrees that she shall immediately disclose to the Reporting Authority any known facts which might involve a conflict of interest of which the Reporting Authority is not aware.
Executive and the Company recognize and acknowledge that it is not possible to provide an exhaustive list of actions or interests which may constitute a “conflict of interest.” Moreover, the Company and Executive recognize there are many borderline situations.  In some instances, full disclosure of facts by Executive to the Reporting Authority may be all that is necessary to enable the Company to protect its interests.  In others, if no improper motivation appears to exist and the Company’s interests have not demonstrably suffered, prompt elimination of the outside interest may suffice.  In egregious and material instances it may be necessary for the Company to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause; provided, however, Executive cannot be terminated for Cause hereunder unless the Company first provides Executive with notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure such conflict of interest pursuant to the same procedures as set forth in clause (E) of the definition of Cause.
Executive hereby agrees that any interest in, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial activities, which interest could adversely affect the Company or any Affiliate, involves a possible conflict of interest.  Circumstances in which 

15

a conflict of interest on the part of Executive would or might arise, and which should be reported to the Reporting Authority, include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
(a)    Ownership of more than a de minimis interest in any lender, supplier, contractor, customer or other entity with which Company or any Affiliate does business;
(b)    Intentional misuse of information, property or facilities to which Executive has access in a manner which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the interests of the Company or any Affiliate, including its business, reputation or goodwill; or
(c)    Materially trading in products or services connected with products or services designed or marketed by or for the Company or any Affiliate.
20.    Remedies.  Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 10 through 19, in view of the nature of the Company’s business, are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, and that any violation of the Agreement would result in irreparable injury to the Company.  In the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Executive of any provision of Sections 10 through 19, the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and injunctive relief restraining Executive from the commission of any breach, and to recover the Company’s attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses related to the breach or threatened breach.  Nothing contained in the Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from pursuing any other remedies available to it for any such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, the recovery of money damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs.  These covenants and disclosures shall each be construed as independent of any other provisions in the Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action by Executive against the Company, whether predicated on the Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of such covenants and agreements.
21.    Withholdings: Right of Offset.  The Company may withhold and deduct from any benefits and payments made or to be made pursuant to the Agreement (a) all federal, state, local and other taxes as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling, (b) all other normal employee deductions made with respect to the Company’s employees generally, and (c) any advances made to Executive and owed to the Company.
22.    Nonalienation.  The right to receive payments under the Agreement shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance by Executive, her dependents or beneficiaries, or to any other person who is or may become entitled to receive such payments hereunder.  The right to receive payments hereunder shall not be subject to or liable for the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of any person who is or may become entitled to receive such payments, nor may the same be subject to attachment or seizure by any creditor of such person under any circumstances, and any such attempted attachment or seizure shall be void and of no force and effect.

16

23.    Incompetent or Minor Payees.  Should the Reporting Authority determine, in its discretion, that any person to whom any payment is payable under the Agreement has been determined to be legally incompetent or is a minor, any payment due hereunder, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement to the contrary, may be made in any one or more of the following ways:  (a) directly to such minor or person; (b) to the legal guardian or other duly appointed personal representative of the person or estate of such minor or person; or (c) to such adult or adults as have, in the good faith knowledge of the Reporting Authority, assumed custody and support of such minor or person; and any payment so made shall constitute full and complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement in respect to the amount paid.
24.    Indemnification.  THE COMPANY SHALL, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS EXECUTIVE FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, COSTS AND DAMAGES ARISING FROM HER  SERVICE AS AN EMPLOYEE, OFFICER OR DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES, SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING LIABILITY, COSTS AND DAMAGES THAT ARISE IN WHOLE OR IN PART FROM ANY NEGLIGENCE OR ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE OF EXECUTIVE, EXCEPT, HOWEVER, TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH LIABILITY, COST OR DAMAGE RESULTED FROM AN ACT OR OMISSION BY EXECUTIVE THAT CONSTITUTES GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT ON HER  PART.  Executive shall also be provided directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and any contractual indemnification provided to Senior Officers at any given time. To the full extent permitted by Delaware law, the Company shall retain counsel to defend Executive, or shall advance legal fees and expenses to Executive for counsel selected by Executive, in connection with any litigation or proceeding related to her service as an employee, officer and director of the Company or any Affiliate within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance.  Such request shall include an itemized list of the costs and expenses and an undertaking by Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that she is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses.  This Section 24 shall be in addition to, and shall not limit in any way, the rights of Executive to any other indemnification from the Company, as a matter of law, contract or otherwise.  
25.    Severability.  It is the desire of the parties hereto that the Agreement be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and should any provision contained herein be held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator (pursuant to Section 28), the parties hereby agree and consent that such provision shall be reformed to create a valid and enforceable provision to the maximum extent permitted by law; provided, however, if such provision cannot be reformed, it shall be deemed ineffective and deleted here from without affecting any other provision of the Agreement.  The Agreement should be construed by limiting and reducing it only to the minimum extent necessary to be enforceable under then applicable law.
26.    Title and Headings; Construction.  Titles and headings to Sections hereof are for the purpose of reference only and shall in no way limit, define or otherwise affect the 

17

provisions hereof.  The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and other compounds of the word “here” shall refer to the entire Agreement and not to any particular provision hereof.  The masculine gender is intended to include the feminine gender.
27.    Choice of Law.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
28.    Arbitration.  Subject to Section 20, any dispute or other controversy other than as provided in Section 7(e) (hereafter a “Dispute”) arising under or in connection with the Agreement, whether in contract, in tort, statutory or otherwise, shall be finally and solely resolved by binding arbitration in Harris County, Texas, administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in accordance with the Employent Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, this Section 28 and, to the maximum extent applicable, the Federal Arbitration Act. Such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”).  If the parties cannot agree on the choice of an Arbitrator within 30 days after the Dispute has been filed with the AAA, then the Arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA. The Arbitrator may proceed to an award notwithstanding the failure of any party to participate in such proceedings. The prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding may be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the arbitration in such amount, if any, as determined by the Arbitrator in her  discretion. The costs of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties unless otherwise determined by the Arbitrator in her discretion.
To the maximum extent practicable, an arbitration proceeding hereunder shall be concluded within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA.  The Arbitrator may allow discovery in its discretion but shall be mindful of the Parties’ goal of settling disputes in the most efficient manner possible.  The Arbitrator shall be empowered to impose sanctions and to take such other actions as the Arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could impose sanctions or take such other actions pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable law.  Each party agrees to keep all Disputes and arbitration proceedings strictly confidential except for disclosure of information required by applicable law which cannot be waived.
The award of the Arbitrator shall be (a) the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties, and (b) final and binding on the parties hereto except for any appeals provided by the Federal Arbitration Act.  Only the district courts of Texas shall have jurisdiction to enter a judgment upon any award rendered by the Arbitrator, and the parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection that such forum is inconvenient.  This Section 28 shall not preclude (i) the parties at any time from agreeing to pursue non-binding mediation of the Dispute prior to arbitration hereunder or (ii) the Company from pursuing the remedies available under Section 20 in any court of competent jurisdiction.
29.    Binding Effect: Third Party Beneficiaries.  The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and to their respective heirs, executors, 

18

beneficiaries, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns hereunder, but otherwise the Agreement shall not be for the benefit of any third parties.
30.    Entire Agreement; Amendment and Termination.  The Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to Executive’s employment and the other matters covered herein; moreover, the Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the Parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnity agreement between the Company and Executive as of the Effective Date shall continue in effect until otherwise amended or superseded.  The Agreement may be amended, waived or terminated only by a written instrument that is identified as an amendment or termination hereto and that is executed on behalf of both Parties.  
31.    Survival of Certain Provisions.  Wherever appropriate to the intention of the Parties, the respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder, including but not limited to the rights and obligations set out in Sections 2, 5 through 7, 10 through 20, 24, 27, 28 and 34 shall survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement.
32.    Waiver of Breach.  No waiver by either Party hereto of a breach of any provision of the Agreement by any other Party, or of compliance with any condition or provision of the Agreement to be performed by such other Party, will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by such other Party or any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any subsequent time.  The failure of either Party hereto to take any action by reason of any breach will not deprive such Party of the right to take action at any time while such breach continues.
33.    Successors and Assigns.  The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and its Affiliates, and its and their successors, and upon any person or entity acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or its successor.  The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform the Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place; provided, however, no such assumption shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.
The Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representative, executors, administrators, successors, and heirs.  In the event of the death of Executive while any amount is payable hereunder including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 2, 5, 6, and 7, all such amounts, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Agreement to the beneficiary designated by Executive in a writing delivered to the Company, or if none, to Executive’s surviving spouse if any, or if not, then to the personal representative of Executive’s estate.

19

34.    Notices. Each notice or other communication required or permitted under the Agreement shall be in writing and transmitted, delivered, or sent by personal delivery, prepaid courier or messenger service (whether overnight or same-day), or prepaid certified United States mail (with return receipt requested), addressed (in any case) to the other Party at the address for that Party set forth below that Party’s signature on the Agreement, or at such other address as the recipient has designated by Notice to the other Party.  Either party may change the address for notice by notifying the other party of such change in accordance with this Section 34.
Each notice or communication so transmitted, delivered, or sent (a) in person, by courier or messenger service, or by certified United States mail shall be deemed given, received, and effective on the date delivered to or refused by the intended recipient (with the return receipt, or the equivalent record of the courier or messenger, being deemed conclusive evidence of delivery or refusal), or (b) by telecopy or facsimile shall be deemed given, received, and effective on the date of actual receipt (with the confirmation of transmission being deemed conclusive evidence of receipt, except where the intended recipient has promptly notified the other Party that the transmission is illegible). Nevertheless, if the date of delivery or transmission is not a business day, or if the delivery or transmission is after 5:00 p.m. on a business day, the notice or other communication shall be deemed given, received, and effective on the next business day.
35.    Executive Acknowledgment.  Executive acknowledges that (a) she is knowledgeable and sophisticated as to business matters, including the subject matter of the Agreement, (b) she has read the Agreement and understands its terms and conditions, (c) she has had ample opportunity to discuss the Agreement with her  legal counsel prior to execution, and (d) no strict rules of construction shall apply for or against the drafter or any other Party.  Executive represents that she is free to enter into the Agreement including, without limitation, that she is not subject to any covenant not to compete that would conflict with her  duties under the Agreement.
36.    Intention to Comply with Code Section 409A.  The Agreement is intended to comply with Code Section 409A.  Executive acknowledges that if any provision of the Agreement (or of any award of compensation or benefits) would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A and accompanying Treasury regulations and other authoritative guidance, such additional tax and interest shall solely be her  responsibility.
Pursuant to Code Section 409A, any reimbursement of expenses made under the Agreement (including payments related to health and dental expenses under Sections 5 through 7), shall only be made for eligible expenses incurred during the Term of Employment, and no reimbursement of any expense shall be made by the Company after December 31st of the year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.  The amount eligible for reimbursement under the Agreement during a taxable year may not affect expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year, and the right to reimbursement under the Agreement is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

20

For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment under this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate payment.  Except as permitted under Code Section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) payable to Executive under the Agreement may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by Executive to the Company or any of its Affiliates.
37.    Six-Month Delay.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, if the payment of any benefit herein would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Code Section 409A because the timing of such payment is not delayed as provided in Code Section 409A for a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), then if Executive is a “specified employee,” any such payment that Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive during the first six months following the Termination Date shall be accumulated and paid or provided, as applicable, within 10 days after the date that is six months following the Termination Date, or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid or provided under Code Section 409A without being subject to such additional taxes and interest such as, for example, upon the death of Executive.
38.    Counterparts.  The Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Each counterpart may consist of a copy hereof containing multiple signature pages, each signed by one party hereto, but together signed by both parties.
39.    United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Other Laws.  Executive represents that she has at all times complied with, and agrees that she shall at all times comply with, in all material respects with all laws applicable to Executive’s actions on behalf of the Company, including specifically, without limitation, the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, generally codified in 15 U.S.C. 78 (the “FCPA”), as the FCPA may hereafter be amended, and/or its successor statutes.  If (i) Executive pleads guilty to or nolo contendere or admits civil or criminal liability under the FCPA, or (ii) if a court finds that Executive has personal civil or criminal liability under the FCPA, or (iii) if the Board reasonably determines, after providing Executive, or her  representative, an opportunity to present information regarding the matter to the Board, that Executive took an action or failed to take an action resulting, or that could reasonably be expected to result, in the Company or any of its subsidiaries having civil or criminal liability under the FCPA, and that Executive had knowledge that such activities would give rise to such FCPA liability or knowledge of facts from which Executive should have reasonably inferred that activities giving rise to such FCPA liability had occurred or were likely to occur, such action or finding shall constitute “Cause” for termination under this Agreement if the Board determines by resolution that the actions or inactions by Executive in violation of the FCPA were not taken in good faith or were not in compliance with all policies of the Company applicable at the time of the action or inaction by Executive.
40.    No Previous Restrictive Agreements.  Executive represents that she has disclosed in writing to the Company the existence of any agreement with any previous employer or 

21

other party purporting to obligate Executive to (a) refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary information in the course of Executive’s employment by the Company or (b) refrain from competing, directly or indirectly, with the business of such previous employer or any other party.  Executive further represents that she believes her  performance of all the terms of the Agreement and her  work duties for the Company does not, and will not, breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information, knowledge or data acquired by Executive in confidence or in trust prior to Executive’s employment with the Company, and Executive will not disclose to the Company or induce the Company to use any confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any previous employer or others.

22

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive has hereunto set her hand and Company has caused the Agreement to be executed in its name and on its behalf by its duly authorized officer, to be effective as of the Effective Date.

A-2

(collectively, the “Company”) and me (the “Employment Agreement”), and in consideration of the payments made to me and other benefits to be received by me pursuant thereto, I, ___________________, do freely and voluntarily enter into this WAIVER AND RELEASE (the “Release”), which shall become effective and binding on the eighth day following my signing the Release as provided herein (the “Effective Date”). It is my intent to be legally bound, according to the terms set forth below.

In exchange for the payments and other benefits to be provided to me by the Company pursuant to Section ___ of the Employment Agreement (the “Separation Payment” and “Separation Benefits”), I hereby agree and state as follows:

		
	1. 
	I, individually and on behalf of my heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns, release, waive, and discharge Company, its predecessors, successors, parents, subsidiaries, merged entities, operating units, affiliates, divisions, insurers, administrators, trustees, and the agents, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and attorneys of each of the foregoing (hereinafter “Released Parties”), from all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, promises, acts, agreements, costs, expenses, damages, actions, and causes of action, whether in law or in equity, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising from my employment and termination from employment with Company, including but not limited to any and all claims pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991 (42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et seq.), which prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, national origin, religion or sex; the Civil Rights Act of 1866 (42 U.S.C. §§1981, 1983 and 1985), which prohibits violations of civil rights; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, and as further amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (29 U.S.C. §621, et seq.), which prohibits age discrimination in employment; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 1001, et seq. ), which protects certain employee benefits; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq.), which prohibits discrimination against the disabled; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (29 U.S.C. § 2601, et seq.), which provides medical and family leave; the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. § 201, et seq.), including the wage and hour laws relating to payment of wages; and all other federal, state and local laws and regulations prohibiting employment discrimination.  This Release also includes, but is not limited to, a release of any claims for breach of contract, mental pain, suffering and anguish, emotional upset, impairment of economic opportunities, unlawful interference with employment rights, defamation, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, fraud, wrongful termination, wrongful discharge in violation of public policy, breach of any express or 

B-1

implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, that Company has dealt with me unfairly or in bad faith, and all other common law contract and tort claims.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, I am not waiving any rights or claims that may arise after this Release is signed by me.  Moreover, this Release does not apply to any claims or rights which, by operation of law, cannot be waived, including the right to file an administrative charge or participate in an administrative investigation or proceeding.  I agree that I will not, without the Company's express prior approval or unless required by law, furnish information to or cooperate with any non-governmental entity or person in connection with any proceeding or legal action involving the Company.  However, nothing in this Release prohibits me from filing a charge with, or reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation.  This Release does not limit my ability to communicate with any government agencies or participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company.  In addition, this Release does not limit my right to receive an award for information provided to any government agencies.  Further, I acknowledge that I have been advised that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual (I) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (II) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

		
	2.
	Nothing in this Release shall affect in any way my rights of indemnification and directors and officers liability insurance coverage provided to me pursuant to the Company’s by-laws, my Employment Agreement, and/or pursuant to any other agreements or policies in effect prior to the effective date of my termination, which shall continue in full force and effect, in accordance with their terms, following the Effective Date.

		
	3.
	I forever waive and relinquish any right or claim to reinstatement to active employment with Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, parent, and successors.  I further acknowledge that Company has no obligation to rehire or return me to active duty at any time in the future.

		
	4.
	I acknowledge that all agreements applicable to my employment respecting noncompetition, nonsolicitation, nonrecruitment, derogatory statements, and the confidential or proprietary information of the Company shall continue in full force and effect as described in the Employment Agreement.

B-2

		
	5.
	I hereby acknowledge and affirm as follows:

		
	a.
	I have been advised to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release. 

		
	b.
	I have been extended a period of 21 days in which to consider this Release. 

		
	c.
	I understand that for a period of seven days following my execution of this Release, I may revoke the Release by notifying the Company, in writing, of my desire to do so.  

		
	d.
	I understand that after the seven-day period has elapsed and I have not revoked the Release, it shall then become effective and enforceable.  

		
	e.
	I understand that the Separation Payment will not be made and I will not be entitled to the Severance Benefits made under the Employment Agreement until after the seven-day period has elapsed and I have not revoked the Release. 

		
	f.
	I acknowledge that I have received payment for all wages due at time of my employment termination, including any reimbursement for any and all business related expenses. 

		
	g.
	I further acknowledge that the Separation Payment and the Separation Benefits include consideration to which I am not otherwise entitled under any Company plan, program, or prior agreement. 

		
	h.
	I certify that I have returned all property of the Company, including but not limited to, keys, credit and fuel cards, files, lists, and documents of all kinds regardless of the medium in which they are maintained. 

		
	i.
	I have carefully read the contents of this Release and I understand its contents.  I am executing this Release voluntarily, knowingly, and without any duress or coercion.

		
	6. 
	Other than certain matters for which I was responsible and that were properly resolved in the course of my employment with the Company, I have reported all matters, to the best of my knowledge and as part of my Separation Payment, that may potentially violate the law, the Company’s Code of Conduct or its policies to the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, to its internal legal counsel or through its ethics helpline.  To the best of my knowledge, all matters that I have reported have been, or are in the process of being, properly examined and addressed by the Company, or, to the extent I believe they have not been, I have identified those matters that I do not believe to have been properly examined and addressed by the Company to its Chief Compliance Officer or to its internal legal counsel.

		
	7.
	I acknowledge that this Release shall not be construed as an admission by any of the Released Parties of any liability whatsoever, or as an admission by any of the Released Parties of any violation of my rights or of any other person, or any violation of any order, law, statute, duty or contract.

B-3

		
	8.
	I agree that the terms and conditions of this Release are confidential and that I will not, directly or indirectly, disclose the existence of or terms of this Release to anyone other than my attorney or tax advisor, except to the extent such disclosure may be required for accounting or tax reporting purposes or otherwise be required by law or direction of a court.  Nothing in this provision shall be construed to prohibit me from disclosing this Release to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in connection with any complaint or charge submitted to that agency.

		
	9.
	In the event that any provision of this Release should be held void, voidable, or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

		
	10.
	I hereby declare that this Release constitutes the entire and final settlement between me and the Company, superseding any and all prior agreements, and that the Company has not made any promise or offered any other agreement, except those expressed in this Release, to induce or persuade me to enter into this Release.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed this Release on the ___ day of ___________, 20__.

(a)    The Administrative Agent or each relevant L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall determine the Exchange Rates as of each Valuation Date to be used for calculating Alternative Currency Equivalent and Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Extensions and amounts outstanding hereunder denominated in Alternative Currencies.   Such Exchange Rates shall become effective as of such Valuation Date and shall be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Valuation Date to occur.  Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the US Borrower hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such currency as so determined by the Administrative Agent (or, where applicable, each relevant L/C Issuer) at the Exchange Rate as of any Valuation Date.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency and Multicurrency Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent and each relevant L/C Issuer may at periodic intervals (no more frequently than monthly (for both the Administrative Agent and such relevant L/C Issuer), or more frequently during the continuance of an Event of Default) recalculate the aggregate exposure under such Loans and Multicurrency Letters of Credit to account for fluctuations in the Exchange Rate affecting the Alternative Currency in which any such Loans and/or Multicurrency Letters of Credit are denominated.  If, as a result of such recalculation, (i) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the applicable Borrower will prepay Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans and, if necessary, Cash Collateralize the outstanding amount of Multicurrency Letters of Credit in the amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (ii) the aggregate L/C Obligations exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the applicable Borrowers will repay Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans and, if necessary, Cash Collateralize the outstanding amount of Multicurrency Letters of Credit in the amount necessary to eliminate such excess.
(c)    Whenever in this Agreement in connection with a borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 or a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or each relevant L/C issuer, as the case may be.

- 66 -

(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, except as expressly provided herein, all interest and fees shall accrue and be payable thereon based on the actual amount outstanding in such Alternative Currency (without any translation into the Dollar Equivalent thereof). 
(e)    If at any time on or following the Closing Date all of the Participating Member States that had adopted the Euro as their lawful currency on or prior to the Closing Date cease to have the Euro as their lawful national currency unit, then the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders will negotiate in good faith to amend the Loan Documents to (a) follow any generally accepted conventions and market practice with respect to redenomination of obligations originally denominated in Euro and (b) otherwise appropriately reflect the change in currency.
(f)    If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be the Exchange Rate.  The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from such Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party each agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 
(g)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Lien, Indebtedness or Investment is incurred; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.08 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred at any time under such Sections.
(h)    For purposes of determining compliance under the covenants herein, any amount in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars in a manner consistent with that used in calculating net income in Holdings’ annual financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to apply to the determination of whether Indebtedness is permitted to be incurred hereunder (which shall be subject to clause (i) below).
(i)    For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the 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 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 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 plus accrued amounts, and any costs, fees and premiums paid in connection therewith.
SECTION 1.09    Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its

terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Application related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount at such times.
SECTION 1.10    Limited Condition Transactions.
(a)    In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio, the Interest Coverage Ratio or any other financial ratio; or (ii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA, if any), in each case, at the option of the Borrower Representative (the Borrower Representative’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such transaction is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date (the “LCT Test Date”), (x) the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (or, in respect of any transaction described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of “Limited Condition Transaction,” delivery of irrevocable notice, declaration of dividend or similar event), and not at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or (y) solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies (or similar law in another jurisdiction), the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer (or equivalent announcement in another jurisdiction) (a “Public Offer”) in respect of a target of such acquisition, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrowers could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
(b)    For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower Representative has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA on a consolidated basis or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; provided that if such ratios or baskets improve as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios and/or baskets may be utilized.  If the Borrower Representative has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Indebtedness, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires (or, if applicable, the irrevocable notice, declaration of dividend or similar event is terminated or expires or, as applicable, the offer in respect of a Public Offer for, such acquisition is terminated) without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be tested by calculating the availability under such ratio or basket on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and any associated Lien and the use of proceeds thereof; provided that Consolidated Interest Expense for purposes of the Interest Coverage Ratio will be calculated using an assumed interest rate based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative in good faith).
(c)    In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or Specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower Representative, be deemed satisfied, 

- 68 -

so long as no Default, Event of Default or Specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower Representative has exercised its option under this Section 1.10, and any Default, Event of Default or Specified Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.
SECTION 1.11    Leverage Ratios.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of calculating any leverage ratio herein in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness, (a) there shall be no netting of the cash proceeds proposed to be received in connection with the incurrence of such Indebtedness and (b) to the extent the Indebtedness to be incurred is revolving Indebtedness, such incurred revolving Indebtedness (or if applicable, the portion (and only such portion) of the increased commitments thereunder) shall be treated as fully drawn.
SECTION 1.12    Cashless Rolls.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with Incremental Term Loans, any Extended Term Loans, loans made pursuant to any Additional Revolving Credit Commitment, loans made pursuant to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments or loans incurred under a new credit facility, in each case, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll” by such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars,” “in immediately available funds,” “in cash” or any other similar requirement.
SECTION 1.13    Certain Calculations and Tests.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the same section of any Loan Document that does not require compliance with a financial ratio or test (including, without limitation, pro forma compliance with Section 7.09 hereof (but not actual compliance therewith), any Interest Coverage Ratio, any First Lien Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Leverage Ratio test) (any such amounts, the “Fixed Amounts”) substantially concurrently with any amounts incurred or transactions entered into (or consummated) in reliance on a provision of the same section of any Loan Document that requires compliance with any such financial ratio or test (any such amounts, the “Incurrence Based Amounts”), it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, the Fixed Amounts under such section and any substantially concurrent borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (and any cash proceeds thereof) shall be disregarded in the calculation of the financial ratio or test applicable to the Incurrence Based Amounts in connection with such substantially concurrent incurrence.
SECTION 1.14    Release from Restrictions.  Any person authorizing any other person or granting to any other person a power of attorney, releases such other person from any restrictions of double representation or self-dealing under any applicable law, including, but not limited to, such restrictions pursuant to §181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch).

(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) US Revolving Credit Loans to the US Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period for the US Revolving Credit Facility in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s US Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s US Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to the making of any US Revolving Credit Loans, in no event shall the Total US Revolving Outstandings exceed the US Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.  Within the limits of each Lender’s US Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the US Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b)(i), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b)(i).

Within the limits of each Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the US Borrower or German Revolving Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b)(ii), prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b)(ii).  Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans shall be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, unless denominated in Dollars, in which case such Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
SECTION 2.02    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuation of Loans.
(a)    Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower Representative’s irrevocable notice (which notice may be telephonic if promptly followed by a written notice signed by a Responsible Officer), to the Administrative Agent.  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time (i) (A) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Dollar-denominated Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans (provided that, if such Dollar-denominated Borrowing is an initial Credit Extension to be made on the Closing Date, notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than, in the case of (x) Term B Loans, 1:00 p.m. Local Time one Business Day prior to the Closing Date and (y) Revolving Credit Loans, 1:00 p.m. Local Time two Business Days prior to the Closing Date) and (B) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum or a whole multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof.  Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum or a whole multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof.  Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower Representative is requesting a Term Borrowing, a Revolving Credit 

- 70 -

Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) in the case of any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Approved Currency for the requested Borrowing and whether the US Borrower or the German Revolving Borrower is requesting such Borrowing, (iii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the Class, currency and principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (v) in the case of Loans in Dollars, the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii) the account of the applicable Borrower to be credited with the proceeds of such Borrowing.  If the Borrower Representative fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing in Dollars or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation with respect to a Borrowing in Dollars, then the applicable Loans shall be made or continued as, or converted to Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month (subject to the definition of “Interest Period”).  Any such automatic conversion or continuation shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower Representative fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation with respect to a Borrowing in an Alternative Currency, then it will be deemed to have requested a conversion or continuation for an Interest Period of one (1) month. If the Borrower Representative requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers and Lenders acknowledge and agree that any conversion or continuation of an existing Loan shall be deemed to be a continuation of that Loan with a converted interest rate methodology and not a new Loan.
(b)    Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a).  In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office not later than 3:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower designated in the Committed Loan Notice in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the applicable Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower Representative, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, to the Borrowers as provided above.
(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the applicable Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.04 in connection therewith.  During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that (i) no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Rate Loan denominated in Dollars shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Appropriate Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(e)    Anything in clauses (a) through (d) above to the contrary notwithstanding, after giving effect to all Term Borrowings and Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twenty (20) Interest Periods in effect at any time for all Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans plus up to three (3) additional Interest Periods in respect of each Incremental Facility.

- 71 -

(a)    The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
(b)    For the avoidance of doubt, no conversion or continuation of any Loan pursuant to this Section shall affect the currency in which such Loan is denominated prior to any such conversion or continuation and each such Loan shall remain outstanding denominated in the currency originally issued.

(a)    The Letter of Credit Commitments.
(i)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (1) each US L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the US Revolving Credit Lenders under the US Revolving Credit Facility set forth in this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day following the Closing Date during the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit Facility, to issue US Letters of Credit for the account of the US Borrower (provided that any US Letter of Credit may be for the account of any Subsidiary of the US Borrower; provided, further that the US Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees to be bound jointly and severally to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn on any US Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary) and to amend or extend US Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drafts under the US Letters of Credit and (2) the US Revolving Credit Lenders under the US Revolving Credit Facility severally agree to participate in US Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that no US L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any US Letter of Credit and no US Revolving Credit Lender shall be obligated to participate in any US Letter of Credit if immediately after giving effect to such L/C Credit Extension, (w) the Total US Revolving Outstandings would exceed the US Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, (x) the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the US Revolving Credit Loans of any US Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all US L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans would exceed such Lender’s US Revolving Credit  Commitment, (y) the aggregate L/C Exposure would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (z) the aggregate US L/C Exposure in respect of US Letters of Credit issued by such US L/C Issuer would exceed such US L/C Issuer’s US Letter of Credit  Commitment.  US Letters of Credit shall constitute utilization of the US Revolving Credit Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the US Borrower’s ability to obtain US Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the US Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain US Letters of Credit to replace US Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.  It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that each of the letters of credit described on Schedule 2.03(a)(i) (the “US Existing Letters of Credit”) shall constitute a “US Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Closing Date. 
(ii)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (1) each Multicurrency L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility set forth in this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day following the Closing Date during the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit Facility, to issue Multicurrency Letters of Credit for the account of the US Borrower or the German Revolving Borrower (provided that any Multicurrency Letter of Credit may be for the account of any Subsidiary of the US Borrower or the German Revolving Borrower; provided, further that the US Borrower or the German Revolving Borrower, as applicable, hereby irrevocably agrees to be bound jointly and severally to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn on any Multicurrency Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Subsidiary) and to amend or extend Multicurrency Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drafts under the Multicurrency Letters of Credit and (2) the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lenders under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility severally agree to participate in Multicurrency Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that no Multicurrency L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Multicurrency Letter of Credit and no Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Multicurrency Letter of Credit if immediately after giving effect to such L/C Credit Extension, (w) the Total Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings 

- 72 -

would exceed the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, (x) the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans of any Multicurrency Revolving Credit Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Multicurrency L/C Obligations would exceed such Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Credit  Commitment, (y) the aggregate L/C Exposure would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (z) the aggregate Multicurrency L/C Exposure in respect of Multicurrency Letters of Credit issued by such Multicurrency L/C Issuer would exceed such Multicurrency L/C Issuer’s Multicurrency Letter of Credit Commitment.  Multicurrency Letters of Credit shall constitute utilization of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the relevant Borrower’s ability to obtain Multicurrency Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the relevant Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Multicurrency Letters of Credit to replace Multicurrency Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.  It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that and each of the letters of credit described on Schedule 2.03(a)(ii) (the “Multicurrency Existing Letters of Credit”) shall constitute a “Multicurrency Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be deemed issued under this Agreement on the Closing Date. 
(iii)    An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);
(B)    subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the relevant L/C Issuer has approved such expiry date;
(C)    the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date, unless the relevant L/C Issuer has approved such expiry date (it being understood that the participations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility in any undrawn Letter of Credit shall in any event terminate on the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date);
(D)    (x) in the case of US Letters of Credit, if such US Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars, and (y) in the case of Multicurrency Letters of Credit, if such Multicurrency Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than an Approved Currency; or
(E)    any Revolving Lender of the applicable Class is at such time a Defaulting Lender, nor shall any L/C Issuer be under any obligation to extend or amend existing Letters of Credit, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including reallocation of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the applicable outstanding L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.16 or the delivery of Cash Collateral, with the US Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential L/C Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16) with respect to such Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential L/C Exposure; or
(F)    the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws binding upon such L/C Issuer or one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit in general;
(G)    such Letter of Credit is not a standby letter of credit or, subject to the ability of such L/C Issuer to issue such a Letter of Credit, a commercial letter of credit; or

- 73 -

(H)    such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $10,000.
(iv)    An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(v)    The aggregate L/C Commitments of all the L/C Issuers shall be less than or equal to the Letter of Credit  Sublimit at all times. 
(b)    Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.
(i)    Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower Representative hand delivered or facsimiled (or transmitted by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the L/C Issuer) to the L/C Issuer in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion.  In the case of a request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer:  (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day) and whether the requested Letter of Credit is a US Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit; (b) the amount thereof in Dollars and, in the case of Multicurrency Letters of Credit, the Approved Currency thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (g) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. If requested by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower Representative also shall submit a letter of credit application on the L/C Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.
(ii)    Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.  Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrowers or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Facility times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii)    If the Borrower Representative so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Extend Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extend Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period 

- 74 -

(commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such renewal.  Once an Auto-Extend Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(iii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable, or the applicable Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.
(iv)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any compliant drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent thereof.  On the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which the Borrower Representative shall have received notice of any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (or, if the Borrower Representative shall have received such notice later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time on any Business Day, on the second succeeding Business Day) (such date of payment, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing (which reimbursement, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, shall be in such Alternative Currency).  If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer on the Honor Date (or if any such reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason), then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer and each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  In the event that the applicable Borrower does not reimburse the L/C Issuer on the Business Day following the date it receives notice of the Honor Date (or, if the Borrower Representative shall have received such notice later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time on any Business Day, on the second succeeding Business Day), the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have requested, for the account of the applicable Borrower, a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (in the case of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a US Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Rate Loans with a period of one month (in the case of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency which Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in the same Alternative Currency in which the relevant Multicurrency Letter of Credit is denominated) to be disbursed on such date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, nor the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the relevant Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of the relevant Revolving Credit Facility.  For the avoidance of doubt, if any drawing occurs under a Letter of Credit and such drawing is not reimbursed on the same day as the day on which it is paid, such drawing shall, without duplication, accrue interest at the rate applicable 

- 75 -

to Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable, under the relevant Revolving Credit Facility until the date of reimbursement.
Each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office for payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a relevant Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each relevant Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan (or, in the case of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an interest period of one month denominated in such Alternative Currency) to the applicable Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer in accordance with the instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by such L/C Issuer (which instructions may include standing payment instructions, which may be updated from time to time by such L/C Issuer, provided that, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree, any such update shall not take effect until the Business Day immediately following the date on which such update is provided to the Administrative Agent).
With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by a relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing for any reason, the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in Dollars (with respect to a Dollar denominated Letter of Credit) or in Alternative Currency (with respective to an Alternative Currency denominated Letter of Credit), in each case in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the US Revolving Credit Facility or Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an interest period of one month under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility, as applicable.  In such event, each Revolving Credit Lender’s under the relevant Revolving Credit Facility payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section  2.03.
(ii)    Until each relevant Revolving Credit Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility funds its relevant Revolving Credit Loan under the relevant Revolving Credit Facility or relevant L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any relevant Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.
(iii)    Each relevant Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make relevant Revolving Credit Loans or relevant L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under relevant Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and (A) shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (I) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (II) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (III) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing and (B) shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the payment of all other Loan Obligations.  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any relevant Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

- 76 -

If any Revolving Credit Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any relevant Revolving Credit Lender under the relevant Revolving Credit Facility (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.
(iv)    If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any relevant Revolving Credit Lender under the relevant Revolving Credit Facility such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to each relevant Revolving Credit Lender under the relevant Revolving Credit Facility its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(v)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable Class shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.
(d)    Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the relevant Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

- 77 -

(iv)    any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(v)    any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Loan Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or
(vi)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;
provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the relevant Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.
(e)    Role of L/C Issuers.  Each Lender and each Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision); or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application.  The applicable Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision).  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(f)    Cash Collateral.  In addition to any other provision under this Agreement requiring Cash Collateral to be provided, (i) if the relevant L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing for reasons other than the failure of a Revolving Credit Lender to fulfill its obligations under clause (c)(ii) above, (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) if any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the 

- 78 -

Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, require the applicable Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(c) or (iv) an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) (with respect to the Borrowers) or (g) occurs and is continuing, then the relevant Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount plus any accrued or unpaid fees thereon determined as of the date such Cash Collateral is provided). 
Each Revolving Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers, Swingline Lender and the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders under the relevant Revolving Credit Facility, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts, Cash Collateral Account and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing that secure any of its L/C Obligations.  The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account for the benefit of the applicable Borrower.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in accounts satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents at its sole discretion.  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the L/C Exposure, each applicable Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts specified by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such L/C Exposure over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer.  To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the L/C Exposure plus costs incidental thereto and so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the relevant Borrowers.  If such Event of Default is cured or waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral (including any accrued interest thereon) shall be refunded to the relevant Borrowers.
(g)    Letter of Credit Fees.  Each Revolving Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each relevant Revolving Credit Lender under the relevant Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a relevant Letter of Credit fee for each relevant Letter of Credit issued on its behalf pursuant to this Agreement equal to the product of (i) Applicable Rate for relevant Letter of Credit fees and (ii) the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such Letter of Credit fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(h)    Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers.  The relevant Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee (a “Fronting Fee”) in Dollars with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer in an amount to be agreed between the Borrower Representative and such L/C Issuer (but in any case, not to exceed 0.125% per annum) of the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  Such Fronting Fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.  Such Fronting Fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Facility Expiration Date and thereafter on demand.  In addition, the relevant Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.
(i)    Conflict with Letter of Credit Application.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

- 79 -

(j)    Addition of an L/C Issuer.  A Revolving Credit Lender (or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates) under the Revolving Credit Facility may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and such Revolving Credit Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional L/C Issuer.
(k)    Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower Representative when a Letter of Credit is issued (i) the rules of the ISP shall be stated therein and apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall be stated therein and apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
(l)    Indemnification of L/C Issuers.  To the extent not indemnified by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to Section 10.05, the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby agree to severally indemnify each L/C Issuer for all Indemnified Liabilities, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in Section 10.05.
SECTION 2.04    Swingline Loans.
(a)    The Swingline.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the US Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this Section, agrees to make Swingline Loans to the US Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, (i) in no event shall the Total US Revolving Outstandings exceed the US Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, (ii) the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the US Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all US L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s US Revolving Credit Commitment and (iii) the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Swingline Sublimit; provided, further, that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the US Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans without premium or penalty.  The Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment shall expire on the Maturity Date for the US Revolving Credit Facility.  All Swingline Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swingline Loans shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date for the US Revolving Credit Facility. 
(b)    Borrowing Procedures for Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the US Borrower’s irrevocable notice (which notice may be telephonic if promptly followed by a written notice signed by a Responsible Officer) to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent.  Each such notice shall be in the form of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower, and must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than noon Local Time on the date of the requested Swingline Borrowing, and such notice shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be in a minimum of $500,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000 and (ii) the date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day).  Promptly after receipt by a Swingline Lender of such notice, such Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has also received such notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent of the contents thereof.   Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the US Borrower, by wire transfer thereof in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) such Swingline Lender, not later than 3:00 p.m. Local Time on the requested date of such Swingline Loan (which instructions may include standing payment instructions, which may be updated from time to time by the US Borrower, provided that, unless the Swingline Lender shall otherwise agree, any such update shall not take effect until the Business Day immediately following the date on which such update is provided to the Swingline Lender).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make any Swingline Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, (B) it does not in good faith believe that all conditions under Section 4.02 to the making of such Swingline Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Required Revolving Credit Lenders or (C) at a time when any US Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender as set forth in Section 2.16 and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swingline Loans has not been reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders or Cash Collateralized in full. 

- 80 -

(c)    Refinancing of Swingline Loans. 
(i)    With respect to any Swingline Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by the US Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(ii) or repaid pursuant to clause (a) above, the Swingline Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Lenders) with a copy to the US Borrower, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Extension, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice given by the US Borrower) requesting that each US Revolving Credit Lender make US Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the US Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension in an amount equal to the amount of such Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which the Swingline Lender requests Lenders to prepay.  Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such US Revolving Credit Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swingline Lender shall be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender (and not to the US Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the applicable Refunded Swingline Loans and (2) on the day such US Revolving Credit Loans are made, the Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Refunded Swingline Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a US Revolving Credit Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the US Borrower, and such portion of the Swingline Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans but shall instead constitute part of the Swingline Lender’s outstanding US Revolving Credit Loans.  If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swingline Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the US Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all US Revolving Credit Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.13. 
(ii)    If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a US Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by the Swingline Lender, each of the US Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to purchase, a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon.  Upon one Business Days’ notice from the Swingline Lender, each US Revolving Credit Lender shall deliver to the Swingline Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of the Swingline Lender.  In order to evidence such participation, each such US Revolving Credit Lender agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swingline Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender.  
(iii)    If any US Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such US Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such US Revolving Credit Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing.  If such US Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s US Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant US Revolving Credit Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of a Swingline Lender submitted to any US Revolving Credit Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
(iv)    Each US Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make US Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, 

- 81 -

recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the US Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that Swingline Lender had not received prior notice from US Borrower or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 4.02 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swingline Loans or other unpaid Swingline Loans, were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swingline Loans or unpaid Swingline Loans were made.  No such funding of participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the US Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
(d)    Repayment of Participations. 
(i)    At any time after any US Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, such Swingline Lender will promptly remit such US Revolving Credit Lender’s applicable Applicable Percentage of such payment to the Administrative Agent (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such US Revolving Credit Lender’s participation was funded) in like funds as received by the Swingline Lender, and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent will be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the US Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have funded their participations pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) to the extent of their interests therein. 
(ii)    If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by such Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each US Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to such Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender.  The obligations of the US Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 
(e)    Payments Directly to Swingline Lenders.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the US Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender at its Principal Office. 
(f)    Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.  If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (such expiring tranche, the “Expiring Credit Commitment”) at a time when another tranche or tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments, Additional Revolving Credit Commitments or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments available in Dollars is or are in effect with a longer Maturity Date (each, a “Non-Expiring Credit Commitment” and collectively, the “Non-Expiring Credit Commitments”), then with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan, if consented to by the Swingline Lender, on the earliest occurring Maturity Date such Swingline Loan shall be deemed reallocated to the tranche or tranches of the Non-Expiring Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate credit exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of such Non-Expiring Credit Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation the amount of Swingline Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid or Cash Collateralized and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Borrower shall still be obligated to pay Swingline Loans allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders holding the Expiring Credit Commitments at the Maturity Date of the Expiring Credit Commitment or if the Loans have been accelerated prior to the Maturity Date of the Expiring Credit Commitment.  On the Maturity Date of any Expiring Credit Commitment, the sublimit for Swingline Loans shall be agreed solely with the Swingline Lender.

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower Representative, the applicable Borrower(s) shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04.  Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied as directed by the Borrower Representative (it being understood and agreed that if the Borrower Representative does not so direct at the time of such prepayment, such prepayment shall be applied to prepay  the Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Term B-1 Loans and the Term B-2 Loans) on a pro rata basis across Classes and pro rata among Lenders within each Class in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof (which prepayments shall be applied to against the scheduled repayments of Term Loans of the relevant Class under Section 2.07 in direct order of maturity)) and shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.  
(ii)    The Borrower Representative may, upon delivery of a notice to the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Local Time on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower Representative, unless rescinded, the US Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower Representative may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
(iv)    In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, the Term Borrowers (i) make any prepayment of Term B Loans in connection with any Repricing Event or (ii) effect any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Event, the Term Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term B Lenders, (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the amount of the Term B Loans being prepaid and (y) in the case of clause (ii), an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Term B Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.

- 84 -

principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Pari Indebtedness at such time) and the remaining Excess Cash Flow to the prepayment of such Other Pari Indebtedness and (z) prepayments under this Section 2.05(b) shall only be required if the Applicable ECF Proceeds are in excess of the Excess Cash Flow Threshold and solely to the amount of such Applicable ECF Proceeds in excess thereof; provided, that to the extent so elected by the Borrower Representative, following the consummation of any After Year-End Transaction, (1) the First Lien Leverage Ratio shall be recalculated giving Pro Forma Effect to such After Year-End Transaction as if the transaction was consummated during the fiscal year of the applicable Excess Cash Flow prepayment and the Excess Cash Flow Percentage for purposes of making such Excess Cash Flow prepayment shall be determined by reference to such recalculated First Lien Leverage Ratio and (2) such After Year-End Transaction shall not be applied to the calculation of the First Lien Leverage Ratio in connection with the determination of the Excess Cash Flow Percentage for purposes of any subsequent Excess Cash Flow prepayment.

(B)    With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower  Representative, any Borrower may reinvest an amount equal to all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business (other than working capital, except for short term capital assets) and in Permitted Acquisitions and other similar Investments not prohibited hereunder and capital expenditures, in each case, within (x) eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if a Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business within eighteen (18) months following receipt thereof, one hundred eighty (180) days after the eighteen (18) month period that follows receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that if any Net Cash Proceeds are not so reinvested by the deadline specified in clause (x) or (y) above, as applicable, or if any such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested, any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied, in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(C), to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05.
(C)    On each occasion that any Borrower must make a prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii), the applicable Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after the date of realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds in the minimum amount specified above (or, in the case of prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B), within five (5) Business Days of the deadline specified in clause (x) or (y) thereof, as applicable, or of the date the applicable Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested, as the case may be), make a prepayment, in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(v) below, of the principal amount of Term Loans to the extent required by, and subject to the qualifications of, Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A).

- 85 -

(iii)    If Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs or issues any (A) Refinancing Term Loans, (B) Indebtedness pursuant to Section 7.03(w) incurred to repay Term Loans or (C) Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the applicable Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.  If any Borrower obtains any (A) Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) Indebtedness pursuant to Section 7.03(w) incurred to replace Revolving Credit Commitments, such Borrower shall, concurrently with the receipt thereof, terminate Revolving Credit Commitments in an equivalent amount pursuant to Section 2.06; provided further, to the extent any Other Pari Indebtedness is outstanding that requires a payment from the proceeds of any Indebtedness incurred as contemplated by clause (C) of this Section 2.05(b)(iii), then the Borrower Representative, at its election, may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Pari Indebtedness at such time) to the prepayment of such Other Pari Indebtedness.
(iv)    Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be, unless otherwise specified by the Borrower Representative, applied to the installments thereof in direct order of maturity; provided that any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05 shall be applied to the Term B Loans in accordance with the terms hereof and, except to the extent required pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension Offer with respect to any applicable Class of Incremental Term Loans or Extended Term Loans, any prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) may be applied to any Class of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower Representative.  Each such prepayment of any Class of Term Loans shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages subject to clause (v) of this Section 2.05(b).
(v)    The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.05(b) prior to 1:00 p.m. Local Time at least five (5) Business Days on the date of such prepayment.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower Representative’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the prepayment with respect to any Class of Term Loans.  Each Appropriate Lender may reject all or a portion of its Applicable Percentage of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative no later than 5:00 p.m. Local Time three (3) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.  Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender.  If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans.  Any Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the applicable Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).
(vi)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.05(b), (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Restricted Subsidiary otherwise giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) (a “Restricted Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Restricted Casualty Event”), or Excess Cash Flow, in each case would be prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the realization or receipt of the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow 

- 86 -

so affected will not be required to be used to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.05(b)(i) (after determining the amount of Excess Cash Flow required to be used to prepay Term Loans, assuming such amounts are included in the calculation of Excess Cash Flow), or the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment at the time provided in Section 2.05(b)(ii) (after determining the amount of Net Cash Proceeds are available from Dispositions), as the case may be, for so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions available under the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow permitted to be repatriated (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) will be promptly (and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after such repatriation is permitted) taken into account in measuring the applicable Borrower’s obligation to repay the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower Representative has reasonably determined in good faith (as set forth in a written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent) that repatriation of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Restricted Disposition or any Restricted Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow could reasonably be expected to have an adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit received in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected shall not be taken into account in measuring the applicable Borrower’s obligation to repay Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b); provided that, to the extent the situations specified in clauses (i) and/or (ii) are in effect for a period of more than 365 days, the applicable Borrower’s obligations to repay any Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) and 2.05(b)(ii) shall expire and no longer be in effect after the expiration of such 365 day period.
(vii)    If for any reason the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders under any Revolving Credit Facility at any time exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility then in effect, the applicable Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Revolving Credit Loans under such Revolving Credit Facility and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations under such Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations under such Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(vii) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans under such Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures under such Revolving Credit Facility exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility.
(viii)  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the Term B-2 Borrowers and the German Revolver Borrower shall not be obligated to make any prepayments (x) with respect to the Term B-2 Borrowers, in respect of the Term B-1 Facility or any Revolving Facility or any other Incremental Facility, Term Loan Commitments or Loans that are not incurred by such Term B-2 Borrower and (y) with respect to the German Revolving Borrower, in respect of the US Revolving Facility or any Term B Facility or any other Incremental Facility, Term Loan Commitments or Loans that are not incurred by such German Revolving Borrower, and in each case, shall have no liabilities or Obligations with respect thereto.
(c)    Interest, Funding Losses, Etc.  All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.04.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this 

- 87 -

Section 2.05, prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers may, in their sole discretion, deposit with the Administrative Agent in the currency in which such Loan is denominated the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account hereunder until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from any Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05.  Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be so prepaid, provided that the Borrower Representative may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 2.05.
(d)    Discounted Voluntary Prepayments.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including Section 2.13) or any other Loan Document, any Term Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay one or more Classes of Term Loans to the Lenders at a discount to the par value of such Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.05(d), provided that (A) no proceeds from Revolving Credit Loans shall be used to consummate any such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (B) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Term Lenders of such Class on a pro rata basis, (C) after giving effect to the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Term Loans that are held by Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Term Loans then outstanding and (D) the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, together with each Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative (1) stating that no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (2) stating that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.05(d) has been satisfied and (3) specifying the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of any Class offered to be prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.
(ii)    To the extent any Term Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower Representative will provide written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that the applicable Term Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans of one or more specified Classes in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by such Term Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Loans as specified below.  The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of any Loans shall not be less than $5,000,000.  The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Loans to be prepaid, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by such Term Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid (the “Discount Range”), and (C) the date by which Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which shall be at least five Business Days from and including the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice (the “Acceptance Date”).
(iii)    Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof.  On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to 

- 88 -

rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent) of the Term Loans to be prepaid held by such Lender with respect to which such Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”).  Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of the Term Loans to be prepaid specified by the Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, shall determine the applicable discount for such Term Loans to be prepaid (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (A) the percentage specified by the applicable Term Borrower if such Term Borrower Loan has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.05(d)(ii)) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (B) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which such Term Borrower can pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the Outstanding Amount of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Range.  The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans.  Any Lender with outstanding Term Loans to be prepaid whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.
(iv)    Each Term Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying those Term Loans to be prepaid (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount, provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, such Term Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent).  If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, such Term Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.
(v)    Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 3.04), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Administrative Agent.  Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.  If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid.  The par principal amount of each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied ratably to reduce the remaining installments of such Class of Term Loans (as applicable).

- 89 -

(vi)    To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.05(d)(ii) above) established by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, each acting reasonably.
(vii)    Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, (A) upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Term Borrower may withdraw or modify its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (B) no Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice unless the terms of such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment have been modified by the applicable Term Borrower after the date of such Lender Participation Notice.
(viii)    Nothing in this Section 2.05(d) shall require any Term Borrower to undertake any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.
(ix)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to act as manager for any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.
SECTION 2.06    Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
(a)    Optional.  The Borrower Representative may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) the Borrower Representative shall not terminate or reduce, (A)(x) the US Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total US Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate US Revolving Credit Commitments or (y) the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Multicurrency Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (C) the Swingline Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans would exceed the Swingline Sublimit; provided, further, that, upon any such partial reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit, unless the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, otherwise agree, the commitment of each L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender to issue Letters of Credit or extend Swingline Loans, as applicable, will be reduced proportionately by the amount of such reduction.  The amount of any such Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit unless, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swingline Sublimit, as the case may be, exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, in which case such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower Representative may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed
(b)    Mandatory.  The Term B Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term B Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a).  The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date therefor.  The Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the respective maturity dates applicable thereto.
(c)    Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 

- 90 -

2.06.  Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.06).  All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(a)    Term Loans. (i) The applicable Term Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the relevant Term Lenders holding Term B-1 Loans in Dollars (A) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur for the second full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, an aggregate amount equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of all Term B-1 Loans made on the Closing Date and (B) on the Maturity Date for the Term B-1 Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Term B-1 Loans outstanding on such date; provided that payments required by Section 2.07(a)(i)(A) above shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section  2.05 and (ii) the applicable Term Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the relevant Term Lenders holding Term B-2 Loans in Dollars (A) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur for the second full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, an aggregate amount equal to 0.25% of the initial aggregate principal amount of all Term B-2 Loans made on the Closing Date and (B) on the Maturity Date for the Term B-2 Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Term B-2 Loans outstanding on such date; provided that payments required by Section 2.07(a)(ii)(A) above shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section  2.05.

(b)    Revolving Credit Loans.  The applicable Revolving Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the Maturity Date for each Revolving Credit Facility the principal amount of each of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date under such Revolving Credit Facility.

SECTION 2.08    Interest.

(b)    The applicable Borrower(s) shall pay interest on past due amounts under this Agreement at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable 

- 91 -

Laws.  Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand to the fullest extent permitted by and subject to applicable Laws, including in relation to any required additional agreements.
(c)    Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(d)    Interest Limitations.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the Term B-2 Borrowers and the German Revolver Borrower shall not be obligated to make any interest payments (x) with respect to the Term B-2 Borrowers, in respect of the Term B-1 Facility or any Revolving Facility or any other Incremental Facility, Term Loan Commitments or Loans that are not incurred by such Term B-2 Borrower and (y) with respect to the German Revolving Borrower, in respect of the US Revolving Facility or any Term B Facility or any other Incremental Facility, Term Loan Commitments or Loans that are not incurred by such German Revolving Borrower, and in each case, shall have no liabilities or Obligations with respect thereto.
SECTION 2.09    Fees.  In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(g) and (h):
(a)    Commitment Fee.  The applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each (i) Revolving Credit Lender under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in Dollars equal to 0.375% per annum on the average daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility (it being understood and agreed that the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not be deemed to be a component of the Revolving Credit Exposure for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee).  From and after the delivery by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent of Holdings’ financial statements for the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, the Commitment Fee for each Revolving Credit Facility shall be reduced to 0.25% per annum if the First Lien Leverage Ratio for any fiscal quarter (as evidenced by financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 and covering such period) shall be less than or equal to 1.25:1.00.  The Commitment Fee for each Revolving Credit Facility shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date for such Revolving Credit Facility, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur for the first full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for such Revolving Credit Facility.  The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. 
(b)    Closing Fee.  The applicable Term Borrowers agree to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Term Lender holding Term B Loans as of the Closing Date, a non-refundable closing fee equal to 0.125% of the aggregate principal amount of such Term Lender’s Term B Loans as of the Closing Date.  Such closing fee will be earned and due and payable in full on the Closing Date and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(c)    Other Fees.  The applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Agent).
SECTION 2.10    Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on such Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any such Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to 

- 92 -

Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable.  The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields.  The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.11    Evidence of Indebtedness. 
(a)    The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by one or more entries in the Register.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the applicable Borrower(s) and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loan Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower(s) shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b)    In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit.  In the event of any conflict between the Register and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.
SECTION 2.12    Payments Generally.
(a)    All payments by the Borrowers of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made (i) with respect to the Term B Loans, US Revolving Credit Commitments, US Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, in Dollars, and (ii) with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Commitments and Multicurrency Letters of Credit, in the applicable Approved Currency in which such Obligations are denominated, without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., Local Time, shall (in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent) be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. All payments under each Loan Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in Dollars.
(b)    If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

- 93 -

(c)    Unless the Borrower Representative or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it (or the Revolving Borrower) to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the applicable Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto.  If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:
(i)    if the applicable Borrower failed to make such payment, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus, to the extent reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Agent, any administrative, processing or similar fees to the extent customarily charged by such Administrative Agent to similarly situated borrowers in connection with the foregoing; it being understood that nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder; and
(ii)    if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus, to the extent reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Agent, any administrative, processing or similar fees to the extent customarily charged by such Administrative Agent to similarly situated borrowers in connection with the foregoing.  When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing.  If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and the applicable Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at the interest rate applicable to such Loan.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower Representative with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error.
(d)    If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
(e)    The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

- 94 -

(f)    Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(g)    Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.04.  If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Loan Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Loan Obligations then owing to such Lender.
SECTION 2.13    Sharing of Payments.  If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or its participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that (x) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon and (y) the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant or the application of Cash Collateral pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement.  The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of demonstrable error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.  Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Loan Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Loan Obligations purchased.
SECTION 2.14    Incremental Credit Extensions.
(a)    At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower Representative may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to increase the amount of Term B Loans of any Class or add one or more additional tranches of term loans (any such Term B Loans or additional tranche of term loans, the “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”) and/or the establishment of one or more new revolving credit commitments (an “Additional Revolving Credit Commitment” and, together any Revolving Credit Commitment 

- 95 -

Increases, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”; together with the Incremental Term Loans, the “Incremental Facilities”).  Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of all Incremental Facilities (other than Refinancing Term Loans and Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments) (determined at the time of incurrence), together with the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Equivalent Debt, shall not exceed the Incremental Cap.  Each Incremental Facility shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 in case of Incremental Term Loans or $5,000,000 in case of Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, provided that such amount may be less than the applicable minimum amount if such amount represents all the remaining availability hereunder as set forth above.  Each Incremental Facility shall have the same guarantees as, and to the extent secured, shall be secured by only the same Collateral subject to clause (h) of the “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” securing, all of the other Loan Obligations under this Agreement (provided that, in the case of any Incremental Facility that is funded into Escrow, such Incremental Facility may be secured by the applicable funds and related assets held in Escrow (and the proceeds thereof) until such Incremental Facility is released from Escrow).
(b)    Any Incremental Term Loans (i) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Term B Loans, (ii) shall have interest rate margins and (subject to clauses (iii) and (iv)) amortization schedules as determined by the Borrower Representative and the lenders thereunder (provided that, except in the case of Refinancing Term Loans, if such Incremental Term Loans are Qualifying Term Loans incurred in reliance on clause (c) of the Incremental Cap, the All-In-Rate applicable thereto will not be more than 0.50% per annum higher than the All-In-Rate in respect of the Term B Loans unless the Applicable Rate (and/or, as provided in the proviso below, the Base Rate floor or Eurocurrency Rate floor) with respect to the Term B Loans is adjusted to be equal to the All-In-Rate applicable to such Indebtedness, minus 0.50% per annum, provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower Representative in its sole discretion, that any increase in All-In-Rate to any Term B Loan due to the application or imposition of a Base Rate floor or Eurocurrency Rate floor on any such Indebtedness shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any Base Rate floor or Eurocurrency Rate floor applicable to such Term B Loan (this proviso to this clause (b)(ii), the “MFN Provision”)), (iii) any Incremental Term Loan (other than Inside Maturity Loans) shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date applicable to the Term B Loans), (iv) any Incremental Term Loan (other than Inside Maturity Loans) shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term B Loans) and (v) shall be either, taken as a whole, no more favorable to the lenders providing such Incremental Facility, in their capacity as such or be on market terms at the time of the establishment of such Incremental Facilities (in each case, as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative) (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest maturity date of the applicable Facility); provided that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant that is more restrictive than the Financial Covenant is added for the benefit of (A) any Incremental Facility consisting of term loans other than Customary Term A Loans, such financial maintenance covenant (except to the extent only applicable after the maturity date of the Term B Loans) is also added for the benefit of all of the Facilities or (B) any Incremental Facility consisting of Customary Term A Loans, such financial maintenance covenant (except to the extent only applicable after the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility) is also added for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Facility; it being understood and agreed that in each such case, no consent of the any Agent and/or any Lender shall be required in connection with adding such financial maintenance covenant).
(c)    Any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall (i) have the same maturity date as the Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility that is being increased, (ii) require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reduction prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (iii) be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments under such Revolving Credit Facility that is being increased (it being understood that, if required to consummate a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, the pricing, interest margin, rate floors and commitment fees may be increased so long as such increases apply to the entire Revolving Credit Facility (provided additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the Lenders participating in the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase without any requirement to pay such amounts to Lenders holding existing Revolving Credit Commitments).  Any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments (i) shall have interest rate margins and, subject to clause (ii), have amortization schedules as determined by the Borrower Representative and the lenders thereunder but shall not require scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment reductions prior to the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility, (ii) other than Inside Maturity Loans, mature no earlier than, and will require no mandatory commitment reduction prior to, the Maturity Date applicable 

- 96 -

to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) which are Refinancing Revolving Credit Commitments shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced thereby and (iv) shall have the same terms as the Revolving Credit Commitments or such terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, it being understood that no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent for terms and conditions that are more restrictive than the existing Revolving Credit Commitments to the extent that they apply to periods after the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments or are otherwise added for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder (which shall not require the consent of any Revolving Credit Lender or any Agent); provided that to the extent any financial maintenance covenant that is more restrictive than the Financial Covenant is added for the benefit of any Additional Revolving Commitments, such financial maintenance covenant (except to the extent only applicable after the maturity date of each Revolving Credit Facility) is also added for the benefit of each Revolving Credit Facility; it being understood and agreed that in each such case, no consent of the any Agent and/or any Lender shall be required in connection with adding such financial maintenance covenant); provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(c), (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Additional Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments (subject to clause (3) below)) of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to Additional Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a no less than pro rata basis (with respect to borrowings) and a no greater than pro rata basis (with respect to repayments) with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) all Letters of Credit may be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (3) the permanent repayment of commitments with respect to, and termination of, Additional Revolving Credit Commitments prior to the Maturity Date applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments at the time of incurrence of such Additional Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class and (4) assignments and participations of Additional Revolving Credit Commitments (and Revolving Credit Loans made thereunder) shall be governed by the same or equivalent assignment and participation provisions applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans.
(d)    [Reserved].
(e)    Each notice from the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an “Additional Lender”) and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrowers and such Additional Lender, and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, each L/C Issuer .  For the avoidance of doubt, no L/C Issuer is required to act as such for any Additional Revolving Credit Commitments unless they so consent. No Incremental Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders other than the Additional Lenders with respect to such Incremental Facility Amendment.  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, unless it so agrees.  Commitments in respect of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments may become Commitments under this Agreement.  An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Additional Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (notwithstanding clause (y) of the parenthetical in the introductory paragraph thereof) (it being understood that (x) all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” in Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility Closing Date and (y) if the proceeds of such Incremental Facility are to be used, in whole or in part, to (x) finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment, (1) such incurrence shall be subject to the LCT Provisions and (2) no Specified Event of Default shall exist on the Incremental Facility Closing Date) or (y) for any other purpose, no 

- 97 -

Event of Default shall exist on the Incremental Facility Closing Date.  The proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans will be used for general corporate purposes and any other use not prohibited hereunder. Upon each increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to this Section 2.14 that is in the form of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, each Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment (each, an “Incremental Revolving Increase Lender”) in respect of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Incremental Revolving Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.  Additionally, if any Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding under a Revolving Credit Facility at the time any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase is implemented under such Revolving Credit Facility, the Revolving Credit Lenders immediately after effectiveness of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall purchase and assign at par such amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding under such Revolving Credit Facility at such time as the Administrative Agent may require such that each Revolving Credit Lender holds its Applicable Percentage of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding under such Revolving Credit Facility immediately after giving effect to all such assignments.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.14.
SECTION 2.15    Extensions of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the applicable Borrower(s) to all Lenders of any Class of Term Loans or any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the applicable Borrower(s) is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments of the applicable Class and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans and/or modifying any prepayment premium or call protection in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension,” and each group of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the original Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which they were converted, and any Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined below) shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from the Class of Revolving Credit Commitments from which they were converted, it being understood that an Extension may be in the form of an increase in the amount of any outstanding Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments otherwise satisfying the criteria set forth below), so long as the following terms are satisfied:  
(i)    except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by the Borrower Representative and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Class of Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates, 

- 98 -

(ii)    except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower Representative and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Term Loans extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, 
(iii)    the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, 
(iv)    any Extended Term Loans may participate (x) on a pro rata basis, greater than pro rata or a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary repayments or prepayments hereunder and (y) on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer,
(v)    if the aggregate principal amount of the Class of Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the applicable Borrower(s) pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments of such Class, as the case may be, of such Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be, have accepted such Extension Offer, 
(vi)    all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and
(vii)    any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the applicable Borrower(s) and no Lender shall be obligated to extend its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments unless it so agrees.
(b)    With respect to all Extensions consummated by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that any applicable Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in such Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by such Borrower) of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments (as applicable) of any or all applicable Classes be tendered.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.15 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments on the such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05, 2.12 and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.15.
(c)    No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of any Class of Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of the relevant L/C Issuer (if such L/C Issuer is being requested to issue letters of credit with respect to the Class of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Loan Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order 

- 99 -

to establish new Classes in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative in connection with the establishment of such new Classes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.15 (and to the extent any such amendment is consistent with the terms of this Section 2.15 (as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative), the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to such amendment, and no such consent of the Administrative Agent shall be necessary to have such amendment become effective).  
(d)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower Representative shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15; provided that, failure to give such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any amendment entered into to effectuate such Extension in accordance with this Section 2.15.
SECTION 2.16    Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(d)    the Commitment Fee shall cease to accrue on any of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a);
(e)    the Commitment, Outstanding Amount of Term Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.01); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification of a type described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the first proviso in Section 10.01 that would apply to the Commitments or Loan Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender with respect to the effectiveness of such waiver, amendment or modification with respect to the Commitments or Loan Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender;
(f)    if any L/C Exposure or Swingline Loans exists at the time a Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(%4)    all or any part of the L/C Exposure and US Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Swingline Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure and US Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Swingline Loans does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ relevant Commitments;
(%4)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, (A) Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the L/C Issuer only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure and (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(f) for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding and (B) repay the Swingline Loans in an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s US Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Swingline Loans, as applicable;

- 100 -

(%4)    if the Borrowers Cash Collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(h) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized;
(%4)    if the L/C Exposures of the non-Defaulting Lenders are increased pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) and 2.03(h) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages;
(%4)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the L/C Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.03(h) with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the L/C Issuer until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and
(vi)    subject to Section 10.23, no reallocation pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(g)    so long as (A) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender under a relevant Revolving Credit Facility, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it has received assurances satisfactory to it that non-Defaulting Lenders will cover the related exposure and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.16(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein) and (B) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender under the US Revolving Credit Facility, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it has received assurances satisfactory to it that non-Defaulting Lenders will cover the related exposure, and participating interests in any newly Swingline Loans shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.16(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, and the relevant L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender  each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the relevant L/C Exposures and, as applicable, the US Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of Swingline Loans of the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the relevant Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
SECTION 2.17    Permitted Debt Exchanges.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”) made from time to time by any Term Borrower to all Lenders (other than, with respect to any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer that constitutes an offering of securities, any Lender that, if requested by the applicable Term Borrower, is unable to certify that it is (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (ii) an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) or (iii) not a “U.S. person” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act)) with outstanding Term Loans of a particular Class, any Term Borrower may from time to time consummate one or more exchanges of such Term Loans for Indebtedness (in the form of senior secured, senior unsecured, senior subordinated, or subordinated 

- 101 -

notes or term loans) (such Indebtedness, “Permitted Debt Exchange Securities” and each such exchange, a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:
(i)    each such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Term Lenders (other than, (x) with respect to any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer that constitutes an offering of securities, any Lender that, if requested by the applicable Term Borrower, is unable to certify that it is (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (ii) an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) or (iii) not a “U.S. person” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act) or (y) any Lender that, if requested by the applicable Term Borrower, is unable to certify that it can receive the type of Permitted Debt Exchange Securities being offered in connection with such Permitted Debt Exchange) of each applicable Class based on their respective aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans under each such Class;
(ii)    the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Term Loans so refinanced, except by an amount equal to any fees, expenses, commissions, underwriting discounts and premiums payable in connection with such Permitted Debt Exchange;
(iii)    the stated final maturity of such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities is not earlier than the latest Maturity Date for the Class or Classes of Term Loans being exchanged, and such stated final maturity is not subject to any conditions that could result in such stated final maturity occurring on a date that precedes such latest maturity date (it being understood that acceleration or mandatory repayment, prepayment, redemption or repurchase of such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities upon the occurrence of an event of default, a change in control, an event of loss or an asset disposition shall not be deemed to constitute a change in the stated final maturity thereof);
(iv)    such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities are not required to be repaid, prepaid, redeemed, repurchased or defeased, whether on one or more fixed dates, upon the occurrence of one or more events or at the option of any holder thereof (except, in each case, upon the occurrence of an event of default, a change in control, an event of loss or an asset disposition) prior to the latest Maturity Date for the Class or Classes of Term Loans being exchanged, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, scheduled amortization payments (however denominated, including scheduled offers to repurchase) of such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities shall be permitted so long as the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Indebtedness shall be longer than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class or Classes of Term Loans being exchanged;
(v)    no Restricted Subsidiary is a borrower or guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness unless such Restricted Subsidiary is or substantially concurrently becomes a Loan Party;
(vi)    if such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities are secured, such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities are secured on a pari passu basis or junior priority basis to the Obligations and (A) such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities are not secured by any assets not securing the Obligations unless such assets substantially concurrently secure the Obligations and (B) the beneficiaries thereof (or an agent or trustee on their behalf) shall have become party to an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement with the Collateral Agent;
(vii)    the terms and conditions of such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities (excluding pricing and optional prepayment or redemption terms or covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Maturity Date of the Class or Classes of Term Loans being exchanged) reflect market terms and conditions at the time of incurrence or issuance; provided that if such Permitted Debt Exchange Securities contain any financial maintenance covenants, such covenants shall not be more restrictive than (or in addition to) those contained in this Agreement (unless such covenants are also added for the benefit of the Lenders under this Agreement, which amendment to add such covenants to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Lender or Agent hereunder);

- 102 -

(viii)    all Term Loans exchanged under each applicable Class by any Term Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the applicable Term Borrower on date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant to the Permitted Debt Exchange to the applicable Term Borrower for immediate cancellation), and accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Loans shall be paid to the exchanging Lenders on the date of consummation of such Permitted Debt Exchange, or, if agreed to by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loans (with such interest accruing until the date of consummation of such Permitted Debt Exchange);
(ix)    if the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of a given Class tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by the applicable Term Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then such Term Borrower shall exchange Term Loans under the relevant Class tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum based on the respective principal amounts so tendered, or, if such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall have been made with respect to multiple Classes without specifying a maximum aggregate principal amount offered to be exchanged for each Class, and the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Classes tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of all relevant Classes offered to be exchanged by the applicable Term Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then such Term Borrower shall exchange Term Loans across all Classes subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered;
(x)    all documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation with the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent; and
(xi)    any applicable Minimum Tender Condition or Maximum Tender Condition, as the case may be, shall be satisfied or waived by the applicable Term Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans or Commitments exchanged pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer.
(b)    With respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by any Term Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made for not less than $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, provided that subject to the foregoing the applicable Term Borrower may at its election specify (A) as a condition (a “Minimum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in applicable Term Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered and/or (B) as a condition (a “Maximum Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that no more than a maximum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in the applicable Term Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes will be accepted for exchange.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.06 and 2.13 do not apply to the Permitted Debt Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.17 and hereby agree not to assert any Default or Event of Default in connection with the implementation of any such Permitted Debt Exchange or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.17.

- 103 -

(c)    In connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, (i) the applicable Term Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof; provided that, failure to give such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any Permitted Debt Exchange consummated in accordance with this Section 2.17 and (ii) the Borrower Representative, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, shall establish such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.17; provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made.  The applicable Term Borrower shall provide the final results of such Permitted Debt Exchange to the Administrative Agent no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of effectiveness for such Permitted Debt Exchange (or such shorter period agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such results.
(d)    Each Term Borrower shall be responsible for compliance with, and hereby agrees to comply with, all applicable securities and other laws in connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, it being understood and agreed that (i) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility in connection with any Term Borrower’s compliance with such laws in connection with any Permitted Debt Exchange and (ii) each Lender shall be solely responsible for its compliance with any applicable “insider trading” laws and regulations to which such Lender may be subject under the Exchange Act.
ARTICLE III     
 
Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality
SECTION 3.01    Taxes.
(a)    Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document, (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), the applicable Lender or Agent (or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) as soon as practicable after the date of any such payment by any Loan Party, such Loan Party (or the Borrower Representative) shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(b)    In addition, and without duplication of any obligation set forth in Section 3.01(a), the applicable Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)    Without duplication of any amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(b), the applicable Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction in respect of amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable by such Agent and such Lender and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender or Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

- 104 -

(d)    If any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit an amount equal to such refund as soon as practicable after it is determined that such refund pertains to Indemnified Taxes (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Parties under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund) to the Borrower Representative, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the applicable Borrowers, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly return an amount equal to such refund (plus any applicable interest, additions to tax or penalties) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority.  Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower Representative’s request, provide the Borrower Representative with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(d), in no event will any Lender or Agent be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) the payment of which would place such Lender or Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification or additional amounts and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its Tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any refund or to make available its Tax returns or disclose any information relating to its Tax affairs (or any other information that it deems confidential) or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
(e)    Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower Representative, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions), at the Borrowers’ expense, to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event if doing so would reduce or eliminate amounts payable under Section 3.01(a) or (c); provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (c).
(f)    Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by applicable Laws, or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document.  Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any documentation specifically referenced below) expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i)    Each Lender that is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;

- 105 -

(ii)    Each Lender that is not a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by applicable Laws or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), two properly completed and duly signed original copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(A)    Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(B)    Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
(C)    in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) or the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit K (any such certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no interest payments under any Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business, and (y) Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or Forms W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor forms),
(D)    to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership, or is a Lender that has granted a participation), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, a United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or
(E)    any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, together with such supplemental documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Laws (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their FATCA obligations, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s FATCA obligations and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.01(f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

- 106 -

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01(f).
(a)    The Administrative Agent (or any successor thereto) shall provide the Borrower Representative with, (i) if it is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding, or (ii) if it is not a United States person, (1) with respect to amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account, a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (2) with respect to amounts payable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender, a duly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (together with any required accompanying documentation), and shall update such forms periodically upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (g), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any form that such Administrative Agent is not legally eligible to deliver.
(b)    For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 3.01, include any L/C Issuer and the references to “Borrower” and “Loan Party” shall include the Term B-2 Borrowers and German Revolving Borrower.
SECTION 3.02    Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or the Required Lenders determine that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to such proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Representative and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Representative may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
SECTION 3.03    Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(a)    If any Lender determines that as a result of any Change in Law (including with respect to Taxes), or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.03(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Indemnified Taxes indemnifiable under Section 3.01, (ii) Excluded Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes,” (iii) Excluded Taxes described in clause (a) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” to the extent such Taxes are imposed on or measured by such Lender’s net income or profits (or are franchise Taxes imposed in lieu thereof) or (iv) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.03(c)), then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.05), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided that in the case of any Change in Law only applicable as a result of the proviso set forth in the definition thereof, such Lender will only be compensated for such amounts that would have otherwise been imposed under the applicable increased cost provisions and only to the extent the applicable Lender is imposing such charges on other similarly situated borrowers under comparable syndicated credit facilities.
(b)    If any Lender determines that as a result of any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return 

- 107 -

on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.05), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.
(c)    The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower Representative shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice.
(d)    Subject to Section 3.05(b), failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.
(e)    If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.03, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrowers, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.03(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.03(a), (b), (c) or (d).
SECTION 3.04    Funding Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b)    any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan (other than a Base Rate Loan) on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers;
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 3.04, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any Incremental Term Loans, parties thereto shall endeavor to adjust Interest Periods thereon to minimize amounts payable under this Section with respect thereto.

- 108 -

SECTION 3.05    Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.
(a)    Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower Representative setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.  In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(b)    With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, the Borrower Representative shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.  If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrowers under Section 3.03, the Borrower Representative may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.05(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(c)    If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loan from one Interest Period to another, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.05(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.03 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii)    all Loans denominated in Dollars that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
(d)    If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.03 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars pursuant to this Section 3.05 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
SECTION 3.06    Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.
(a)    If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.03 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.03, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, (iv) any Lender becomes a Non-Extending Lender and/or, (v) any suspension or cancellation of any obligation of any Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Borrowing pursuant to Section 3.07, then the Borrower Representative may, at its election, on 

- 109 -

prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, either (x) replace such Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided, further, that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents or (y) repay the Loans and terminate the Commitments held by any such Lender notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation Section 2.05, Section 2.06, Section 2.07 or Section 2.13), on a non pro rata basis so long as any accrued and unpaid interest and required fees are paid any such Non-Consenting Lender or Non-Extending Lender.
(b)    Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.06(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations (provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register) and (ii) deliver Notes, if any, evidencing such Loans to the Borrowers or Administrative Agent.  Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations, (B) all obligations of the Loan Parties owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loan Documents and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender or the Loan Parties (as applicable) to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption, any amounts owing to the assigning Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) under Section 3.04 as a consequence of such assignment and, in the case of an assignment of Term Loans in connection with a Repricing Event, the premium, if any, that would have been payable by the Borrowers on such date pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iv) if such Lender’s Term Loans subject to such assignment had been prepaid on such date shall have been paid by the Borrowers to the assigning Lender and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assignor Lender shall deliver to the assignee Lender the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrowers, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a backstop standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer, or the depositing of Cash Collateral into a Cash Collateral Account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.
(d)    In the event that (i) the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent have requested that the Lenders (A) consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or (B) agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) solely with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”  In the event that the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to an extension of the Maturity Date of any Class of Loans as permitted by Section 2.15, then any Lender who does not agree to such extension shall be deemed a “Non-Extending Lender.”
SECTION 3.07    Illegality.  If (a) in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority 

- 110 -

has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (ii) to fund or maintain its participation in any Loan or (iii) issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any Borrowing to any Loan Party who is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, a State thereof or the District of Columbia (including, as a result of any illegality due to any economic or financial sanctions administered or enforced by any sanctions authority) or (b) any Lender is advised in writing by a sanctions authority that penalties will be imposed by a sanctions authority as a result of such Lender’s participation in the Agreement or any other business or financial relationship with the Borrowers, in each case of clauses (a) and (b), such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then, upon the Administrative Agent notifying the Borrower Representative, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Borrowing shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable Law, cancelled. Upon receipt of such notice, the Loan Parties shall, (A) repay that Person’s participation in the Loans or other applicable Obligations on the last day of the Interest Period for each Loan or other Obligation occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower Representative or, if earlier, the date specified by such Person in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by applicable Law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality.
SECTION 3.08    Survival.  All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Loan Obligations hereunder and any assignment of rights by or replacement of a Lender or L/C Issuer.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing (subject, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(b)(ii), to the proviso thereto and the Cure Right set forth in Section 8.05), the Administrative Agent may and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall take any or all of the following actions:
(a)    declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions 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;

(d)    exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law;
provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Borrowers, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit Extensions 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, and the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
SECTION 8.03    Exclusion of Immaterial Subsidiaries.  Solely for the purpose of determining whether a Default has occurred under clause (f) or (g) of Section 8.01, any reference in any such clause to any Restricted Subsidiary or Loan Party shall be deemed not to include any Subsidiary that is an Immaterial Subsidiary or at such time could, upon designation by the Borrower Representative, become an Immaterial Subsidiary affected by any event or circumstances referred to in any such clause unless the Consolidated Total Assets of such Subsidiary together with the Consolidated Total Assets of all other Subsidiaries affected by such event or circumstance referred to in such clause, shall exceed 5% of the Consolidated Total Assets of the US Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
SECTION 8.04    Application of Funds.  If the circumstances described in Section 2.12(g) have occurred, or after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), including in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent, subject to any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect, in the following order:
First, to payment of that portion of the Loan Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 

- 153 -

and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in its capacity as such;
Second, to payment of that portion of the Loan Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third, to payment of that portion of the Loan Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including, but not limited to, post-petition interest), ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fifth, to the payment of all other Obligations that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.
Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.  If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrowers.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) amounts received from the Borrowers or any Guarantor that is not a “Eligible Contract Participant” (as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act) shall not be applied to the obligations that are Excluded Swap Obligations (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to Obligations other than Excluded Swap Obligations as a result of this clause (a), to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall make such adjustments as it determines are appropriate to distributions pursuant to clause Fourth above from amounts received from “Eligible Contract Participants” to ensure, as nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to obligations described in clause Fourth above by the holders of any Excluded Swap Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other obligations pursuant to clause Fourth above) and (b) Cash Management Obligations, Obligations in respect of Designated Credit Lines and Secured Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Designated Credit Line Provider or Hedge Bank, as applicable.  Each Cash Management Bank, Designated Credit Line Provider and Hedge Bank not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
SECTION 8.05    Right to Cure.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01(b), in the event that the US Borrower fails to comply with the Financial Covenant, from the last day of the Test Period until the expiration of 

- 154 -

the fifteenth Business Day after the date on which financial statements with respect to the Test Period in which such covenant is being measured are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, Holdings shall have the right to issue Equity Interests of Holdings and to contribute the net cash proceeds thereof to the US Borrower in cash in exchange for common Equity Interests of the US Borrower (or other Qualified Equity Interests of the US Borrower reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) (the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the US Borrower of net cash proceeds pursuant to the exercise of the Cure Right (the “Cure Amount”), the Financial Covenant shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period in an amount equal to such Cure Amount; provided that (x) such pro forma adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA shall be given solely for the purpose of determining the existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the Financial Covenant with respect to any Test Period that includes the fiscal quarter for which such Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under any Loan Document (including, without limitation, for purposes of determining pricing, mandatory prepayments and the availability or amount permitted pursuant to any covenant under Article VII) for the quarter with respect to which such Cure Right was exercised and (y) there shall be no reduction in Indebtedness in connection with any Cure Amounts for determining compliance with Section 7.09 and no Cure Amounts will reduce (or count towards) the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio or the Total Leverage Ratio for purposes of any calculation thereof, in each case, for the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Right was exercised and, with respect to fiscal quarters thereafter, only to the extent the proceeds are actually applied to prepay Indebtedness pursuant to Section 2.05(a).
(b)    If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to clause (a) above, the US Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Covenant during such Test Period (including for purposes of Section 4.02), the US Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial 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 Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided that (i) the Cure Right may be exercised on no more than five (5) occasions, (ii) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Cure Right is exercised and (iii) with respect to any exercise of the Cure Right, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the US Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following the delivery by Holdings of a written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to exercise the Cure Right (x) the Lenders shall not be permitted to exercise any rights then available as a result of an Event of Default under this Article VIII on the basis of a breach of the Financial Covenant so as to enable Holdings to consummate its Cure Right as permitted under this Section 8.05 and (y) the Lenders shall not be required to make any Credit Extension and the L/C Issuers shall not be required to make any L/C Credit Extension unless and until the US Borrower has received the Cure Amount required to cause the US Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant.
ARTICLE IX     
 
Administrative Agent and Other Agents
SECTION 9.01    Appointment and Authorization of Agents.
(a)    Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under 

- 155 -

agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.  The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of, and among the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Loan Party shall be bound by or have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions (except to the extent such rights are set forth herein, including with respect to such rights in Section 9.09).
(b)    Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
(c)    Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Goldman Sachs to act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swingline Lender (if applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of (and, subject to clause (d) below, to hold any security interest, charge or other Lien created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Lender and such L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) and Article X as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
(d)    The Collateral Agent shall hold and administer any Collateral created pursuant to any Collateral Document governed by German law as agent for each Lender and each L/C Issuer as collateral for the secured obligations expressed in the relevant Collateral Documents, but not on trust.
SECTION 9.02    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent.  The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through their respective Affiliates.  The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Article (including this Section 9.02 and Sections 9.03 and 9.07) and Section 10.05 shall apply to any Affiliates of the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent.  All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Article (including this Section 9.02 and Sections 9.03 and 9.07) and Section 10.05 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to 

- 156 -

the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.
SECTION 9.03    Liability of Agents.  No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby, including their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for (or shall have any duty to ascertain or inquire into) (A) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, (C) the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations or (D) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent have been properly or sufficiently created, perfected, protected, enforced or entitled to any particular priority, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Agent-Related Person shall have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the L/C Obligations or the component amounts thereof or shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.  No Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law.  No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.   The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such Affiliates, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact, such sub-agents, and their respective activities in connection with the syndication of credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities of the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. 
SECTION 9.04    Reliance by Agents.
(a)    Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, request, consent, certificate, instrument, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken 

- 157 -

or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.  Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Holdings and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance).
(b)    For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.
SECTION 9.05    Notice of Default.  None of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice.  Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
SECTION 9.06    Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents.  Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide (and shall not be liable for the failure to provide) any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

- 158 -

SECTION 9.07    Indemnification of Agents.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it in its capacity as an Agent-Related Person; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrowers’ continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, if any.  The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Loan Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.07 are several and not joint.
SECTION 9.08    Agents in their Individual Capacities.  Goldman Sachs and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Goldman Sachs were not the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of (nor any duty to accept therefor to) the Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Goldman Sachs or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.  With respect to its Loans, Goldman Sachs shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Goldman Sachs in its individual capacity.
SECTION 9.09    Successor Agents.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers.  If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which appointment of a successor agent shall require the consent of the Borrowers at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) (which consents of the Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor agent from among the Lenders; which Lender may not be a Defaulting Lender.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent and/or supplemental agent, as described in Section 9.01(c), and the retiring Administrative Agent’s or retiring Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, as applicable, hereunder as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this 

- 159 -

Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may reasonably request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent shall, to the extent not previously discharged, be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent or the successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent or retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, and its agents and sub-agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent or retiring Collateral Agent, as applicable, was acting as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable.
SECTION 9.10    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and Section 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and
(c)    any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and Section 10.04.

- 160 -

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
SECTION 9.11    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably agree that:
(a)    any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Loan Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit with no pending drawings (other than Letters of Credit that have been backstopped, Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have been made) and any other obligation (including a guarantee) that is contingent in nature), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than any other Loan Party, (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below, (v) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a German Borrower, upon release of such German Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to clause (d) below or (vi) if the property subject to such Lien becomes Excluded Property;
(b)    the Collateral Agent is authorized to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01 and not prohibited from being senior to the Lien of the Collateral Agent hereunder; provided, that the subordination of any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent shall only occur with respect to any Lien on such property to the extent that the Lien of the Collateral Agent with respect to such property is required to be subordinated to the relevant Permitted Lien in accordance with the documentation governing the Indebtedness that is secured by such Permitted Lien; and
(c)    if any Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or is transferred to any Person other than the US Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder (as certified in writing delivered to the Administrative Agent by a Responsible Officer), (x) such Subsidiary shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty and (y) any Liens granted by such Subsidiary or Liens on the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary (to the extent such Equity Interests have become Excluded Equity or are being transferred to a Person that is not a Loan Party) shall be automatically released; and
(d)    if any German Borrower is transferred to any Person other than the US Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (as certified in writing delivered to the Administrative Agent by a Responsible Officer), and substantially simultaneously with or upon the payment in full of the relevant German Obligations in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), (x) such German Borrower shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and (y) any Liens granted by such German Borrower or Liens on the Equity Interests of such German Borrower (to 

- 161 -

the extent such Equity Interests are being transferred to a Person that is not a Loan Party) shall be automatically released.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11.  In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to), at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11; provided that, upon the reasonable request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the transactions giving rise to such request have been consummated in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
SECTION 9.12    Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers.  None of the Lenders, the Agents, the Arrangers, or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “joint lead arranger and bookrunner,” “co-manager” or “co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
SECTION 9.13    Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.
(a)    It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction.  It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise 

- 162 -

any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and, collectively, as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).
(b)    In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.
(c)    Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrowers shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent.  In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.14    Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable Law (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.14.  The agreements in this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.  For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 9.14, include any L/C Issuer and (2) this Section 9.14 shall not limit or expand the obligations of the Loan Parties under Section 3.01 or any other provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.15    Cash Management Obligations; Designated Credit Lines; Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any Collateral Document, no Cash Management Bank, Designated Credit Line Provider or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.04, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the 

- 163 -

Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Cash Management Obligations, Obligations under Designated Credit Lines or Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Designated Credit Line Provider or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.  Each Cash Management Bank, Designated Credit Line Provider or Hedge Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties, against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent or its directors, officers, employees, or agents in connection with such provider’s Cash Management Obligations, Obligations under Designated Credit Lines or Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements; provided, however, that no Cash Management Bank, Designated Credit Line Provider or Hedge Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  No Cash Management Bank, Designated Credit Line Provider or Hedge Bank will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any such provider, as applicable, any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents.  By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each such Cash Management Bank, Designated Credit Line Provider or Hedge Bank shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.15.
SECTION 9.16    [Reserved].   
SECTION 9.17    Certain ERISA Matters.  
(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true: such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,
SECTION 9.18    Amendments, Etc.

(a)    extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders) (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 (other than a waiver thereof without the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders in connection with a Credit Extension under the Revolving Credit Facility) or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);
(b)    postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.07 or Section 2.08, fees or other amounts without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders), it being 

- 164 -

understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) (i) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest and (ii) the MFN Provisions or other “most favored nation” provisions and the application thereof shall not constitute a postponement or reduction of the amount of interest or other amounts;
(c)    reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders), it being understood that (x) any change to the definition of any financial ratio (including the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Secured Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio and/or the Interest Coverage Ratio) or in each case, the component definitions thereof and/or (y) any amendment, supplement, modification and/or waiver of the MFN Provisions shall, in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees or other amounts payable; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate;
(d)    change any provision of this Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Revolving Credit Lenders,” or any other provision specifying the number of Lenders or portion of the Loans or Commitments required to take any action under the Loan Documents without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;
(e)    release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents (including any transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05), without the written consent of each Lender; 
(f)    release all or substantially all of the Guarantees in any transaction or series of related transactions except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents (including any transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05), without the written consent of each Lender; 
(g)    solely to the extent such change would alter the ratable sharing of payments, change any provision of Section 2.13 or Section 8.04 without the written consent of each Lender; or
(h)    change the stated currency in which any Lender is required to make Loans or the Borrowers are required to make payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Lenders);
and provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swingline Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) [reserved]; (v) Section 10.07(h) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification; (vi) any amendment or waiver that by its terms affects the rights or duties of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) will require only the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders; (vii) the definition of “Letter of Credit Sublimit” may be amended 

- 165 -

or rights and privileges thereunder waived with the consent of the Borrower Representative, each L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders; (viii) [reserved]; (ix) the definition of the “Alternative Currency” and the conditions precedent set forth in ‎Section 4.02 to a Credit Extension under the Revolving Credit Facility after the Closing Date may only be amended or rights and privileges thereunder waived with the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders and, in the case of a Credit Extension that constitutes the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer; and (x) only the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall be necessary to amend, modify or waive the terms and provision of the financial covenants set forth in ‎Section 7.09 (and any related definitions as used in such Section, but not as used in other Sections of this Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans, the Incremental Term Loans, if any, and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and, if applicable, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, any guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended, supplemented and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower Representative without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to correct or cure (x) ambiguities, errors, mistakes, omissions or defects, (y) to effect administrative changes of a technical or immaterial nature or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; it being agreed that in the case of any conflict between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control (except that in the case of any conflict between this Agreement and an Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement shall control).  Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrowers (without the need to obtain any consent of any Lender), (i) any Loan Document may be amended to cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects, (ii) any Loan Document may be amended to add terms that are favorable to the Lenders (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent), (iii) this Agreement (including the amount of amortization due and payable with respect to any Class of Term Loans) may be amended to the extent necessary to create a fungible Class of Term Loans and (iv) this Agreement (and any other Loan Document) may be amended to the extent necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the provisions of clause (h) of the “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”.

In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder.
(b)    Electronic Communications.  Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may, in their 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.
Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications 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 such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications 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 (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.
(c)    The Platform.  THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”  THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrowers’ or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).
(d)    Change of Address, Etc.  Each of Holdings, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.  Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender.  In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agents from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.  Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the non-“PUBLIC” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its 

- 167 -

delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities for purposes of United States federal or state securities laws.
(e)    Reliance by Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers and Lenders.  The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, each Lender and the Agent-Related Parties of each of the foregoing from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers other than those arising as a result of such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment).
(f)    Notice to other Loan Parties.  Each Borrower agrees that notices to be given to any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be given to the Borrower Representative in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.02 with the same effect as if given to such other Loan Party in accordance with the terms hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 9.20    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
SECTION 9.21    Attorney Costs and Expenses.  The applicable Borrowers jointly and severally agree (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the L/C Issuers for all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the syndication of the Term B Loans and Revolving Credit Loans and the preparation, execution and delivery, administration, amendment, modification, waiver and/or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), including all Attorney Costs of Latham & Watkins LLP and one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which to the extent necessary, may include a single special counsel acting for multiple jurisdictions) and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each L/C Issuer and the Lenders (taken as a whole) for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any workout or restructuring in respect of the Loans, all such fees, costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of one firm of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent (and one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which to the extent necessary may include a single special counsel acting for multiple jurisdictions)) (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Person(s) affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower Representative of the existence of such conflict, by one additional firm of counsel for all such affected Persons)).  The foregoing fees, costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees related thereto, and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent.

All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower Representative of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.

SECTION 9.22    Indemnification by the Borrowers.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the applicable Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, advisors, and other representatives and the successors and permitted assigns of each of the foregoing (without duplication)(collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages and claims (collectively, the “Losses”), and reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs of one primary firm of counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which to the extent necessary, may include a single special counsel acting for multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of a conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower Representative of the existence of such conflict, by one additional firm of counsel for all such affected Indemnitees)), but no other third-party advisors without your prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of any such Indemnitee arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with, any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) relating to this Agreement, the Transactions or any related transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, the Facilities or any use of the proceeds thereof (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any such Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not such Proceedings are brought by the Borrowers, their Affiliates or creditors or any other third party Person in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (c) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Losses and related expenses resulted from (x) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any Related Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (y) a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or any Related Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (z) disputes solely between and among such Indemnitees to the extent such disputes do not arise from any act or omission of the Borrowers or any of its Affiliates (other than with respect to a claim against an Indemnitee acting in its capacity as an Agent or Arranger or similar role under the Loan Documents unless such claim arose from the exceptions specified in clauses (x) and (y) (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)).  No Indemnitee, nor any other party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement and, without in any way limiting the indemnification obligations set forth above, no Indemnitee or Loan Party shall have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, managers, partners, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated.  All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within thirty days after demand therefor (together with reasonably detailed backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial decision in a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05.  The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Loan Documents, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 

- 169 -

shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, etc., with respect to a non-Tax claim.
It is agreed that the Loan Parties shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding (or any expenses related thereto) effected without the Borrower Representative’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower Representative’s written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceeding, the Loan Parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Losses and reasonable and documented or invoiced legal or other out-of-pocket expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and to the extent provided in the other provisions of this Section 10.05.  
No Borrower shall, without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that the withholding of consent due to non-satisfaction of any of the conditions described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this sentence shall be deemed reasonable), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding, (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, and (iii) contains customary confidentiality provisions with respect to the terms of such settlement.
SECTION 9.23    Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers is made to any Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or any Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.24    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, except as otherwise provided herein (including without limitation as permitted under Section 7.04), the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    (c)  Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, after the Closing Date any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

- 170 -

the Borrower Representative, provided that, no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment (1) of any Term Loan to any other Lender, any Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund or made by Goldman Sachs to the extent that such assignments are made in the primary syndication and to whom the Borrower Representative has consented on or prior to the Closing Date, (2) of any Revolving Credit Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments to any other Revolving Credit Lender or any Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender or (3) if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any Assignee; provided further that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of Term Loans unless the Borrower Representative shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after a Responsible Officer having received written notice thereof;
(d)    the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(e)    each L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender at the time of such assignment, provided that no consent of such L/C Issuers  or Swingline Lender shall be required for any assignment of a Term Loan.
(i)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility) or $1,000,000 (in the case of a Term Loan) unless the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption;
(C)    the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any documentation required by Section 3.01(f);
(D)    the Assignee shall not be a natural person or a Disqualified Lender; provided that the list of Disqualified Lenders shall be made available to the Lenders, prospective Lenders and prospective assignees upon written request but shall not otherwise be posted to the Lenders without the express written consent of the Borrowers (it being understood and agreed that such list will remain in effect and shall not be updated for three (3) Business Days following the date of receipt by the requesting Lender);
(E)    the Assignee shall not be a Defaulting Lender; and
(F)    in case of an assignment to an Affiliated Lender, (1) no Revolving Credit Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments shall be assigned to or held by any Affiliated Lender, (2) no proceeds 

- 171 -

of Revolving Credit Loans shall be used, directly or indirectly, to consummate such assignment, (3) any Loans assigned to a Affiliated Lender shall be cancelled promptly upon such assignment, (4) such Affiliated Lender will not receive information provided solely to Lenders and will not be permitted to attend or participate in (or receive any notice of) Lender meetings or conference calls and will not be entitled to challenge the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ attorney-client privilege as a result of their status as Affiliated Lenders, (5) the portion of the Total Outstandings held or deemed held by any Lenders that are Affiliated Lenders shall be excluded for all purposes of making a determination of Required Lenders, (6) any purchases by Affiliated Lenders shall require that such Affiliated Lender clearly identify itself as an Affiliated Lender in any Assignment and Assumption executed in connection with such purchases or sales and (6) no Affiliated Lender may  purchase any Loans so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i)  if any Lender assigns all or any portion of its rights and obligations under any of the Term B Facilities, such Lender must assign the same Applicable Percentage in each of the Term B-2 Facility and the Term B-1 Facility to the relevant assignee and (ii) this paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities other than Term B Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.
(f)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d) and receipt by the Administrative Agent from the parties to each assignment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided further, that only a single fee shall apply to contemporaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds related to the same Lender (or Affiliates thereof)), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 and obligations of Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note (if any), the applicable Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e).  For greater certainty, any assignment by a Lender pursuant to this Section 10.07 shall not in any way constitute or be deemed to constitute a novation, discharge, recession, extinguishment or substitution of the existing Indebtedness and any Indebtedness so assigned shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligations.
(g)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register pursuant to this Section 10.07(d).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Agent and any Lender (with respect to its own interests only) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend and shall treat the Loans (and any participation made pursuant to Section 10.07(e)) as being at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender.  The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as a non-fiduciary agent for purposes of maintaining the Register, 

- 172 -

and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates, shall constitute “Indemnitees” under Section 10.05 hereof. 
(h)    Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or, so long as the Lender seeking to sell participations has requested and obtains a list of Disqualified Lenders and the identity of the Disqualified Lenders is disclosed to such Lender on such list, to Disqualified Lenders) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.01(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) that directly affects such Participant.  Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04 (through the applicable Lender), subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections (including Section 3.01(f) and Sections 3.05 and 3.06), to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (it being agreed that any documentation required to be provided under Section 3.01(f) shall be provided solely to the participating Lender).  To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant complies with Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.  Any Lender that sells participations and any Lender that grants a Loan to a SPC shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and the address of each Participant and/or SPC and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s and/or SPC’s participation interest in the Commitments and/or Loans (or other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error, and the Borrowers and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation interest or granted Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as a non-fiduciary agent for purposes of maintaining the Participant Register, and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates, shall constitute “Indemnitees” under Section 10.05 hereof.  In maintaining the Participant Register, such Lender shall be acting as the non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers solely for purposes of applicable U.S. federal income tax law and undertakes no duty, responsibility or obligation to the Borrowers (without limitation, in no event shall such Lender be a fiduciary of the Borrowers for any purpose). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish in connection with a Tax audit that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version) or, if different, under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code.
(i)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.03 or 3.04 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 Borrower Representative’s prior written consent or to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the Participant became a Participant.
(j)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or similar central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(k)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.01, 3.03 and 3.04, subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections (including Section 3.01(f) and Sections 3.05 and 3.06), to the same extent as if such SPC were a Lender, but 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 the Borrowers under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.03 or 3.04) except to the extent any entitlement to greater amounts results from a Change in Law after the grant to the SPC occurred, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable and such liability shall remain with the Granting Lender, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.  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.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee Obligation or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(l)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
(m)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be; provided that on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, shall have identified, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender.  In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, the Borrower Representative shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower Representative to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be.  If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender resigns as Swingline Lender, as the case may be, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans (as the case may be) outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto and obligations with respect to the Swingline Loans, as applicable (including, as applicable, the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in the Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04).  Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges an duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, and (b)  the successor L/C Issuer  shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other 

- 174 -

arrangements satisfactory to such L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
(n)    [Reserved].
(o)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not be responsible (other than updating the list of Disqualified Lenders in accordance with the definition thereof or providing the list of Disqualified Lenders upon written request) or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders (other than updating the list of Disqualified Lenders in accordance with the definition thereof or providing the list of Disqualified Lenders upon written request). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to, or the restrictions on any exercise of rights or remedies of, any Disqualified Lender.
SECTION 9.25    Confidentiality.  Each of the Agents (on behalf of themselves and any Agent Related Person), L/C Issuers and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information and to not use or disclose such information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, limited partners, trustees, investment advisors 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 or who are subject to customary confidentiality obligations of professional practice or who are bound by the terms of this paragraph (or language substantially similar to this paragraph)); (b) to the extent required or requested by any Governmental Authority including any self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners; provided that, other than with respect to requests or requirements by such Governmental Authority pursuant to its oversight or supervisory function over such Agent, L/C Issuer or Lender (or their affiliates) for purposes of clauses (b) or (h), such Agent, L/C Issuer or Lender shall (i) give the applicable Loan Party written notice prior to disclosing the information to the extent permitted by such requirement, (ii) cooperate with the Loan Party to obtain a protective order or similar confidential treatment (or, in the case of any requests or requirements by a Governmental Authority pursuant to its oversight or supervisory function, inform such Governmental Authority of the confidential nature of such information), and (iii) only disclose that portion of the Information as counsel for such Agent, L/C Issuer or Lender advises such Person it must disclose pursuant to such requirement; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations, or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower Representative), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g) or 10.07(i), counterparty to a Swap Contract, Qualified Securitization Financing, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrowers; (g) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or (y) is or was received by any Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates from a third party that is not, to such party’s knowledge, subject to contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligations owing to Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner regulating any Lender; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder.  In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions.  For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or its Affiliates or its Affiliates’ directors, managers, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, relating to Holdings, the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or their business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent, L/C Issuer or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party 

- 175 -

other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08, including, without limitation, information delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof.
SECTION 9.26    Setoff.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by Holdings and the Borrowers (each on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and the Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding any payroll, trust, or tax withholding accounts) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness (in any currency) at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Loan Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Loan Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary of a Loan Party that is a Foreign Subsidiary or a Domestic Foreign Holding Company.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.
SECTION 9.27    Counterparts.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery by telecopier or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document.  The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.
SECTION 9.28    Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
SECTION 9.29    Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Loan Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.  The provisions of Sections 10.14 and 10.15 shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Loan Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

- 176 -

SECTION 9.30    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.31    GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, SERVICE OF PROCESS.
(a)    THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN).

THE BORROWERS, HOLDINGS, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.
(c)    NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE L/C ISSUER 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 (I) FOR PURPOSES OF ENFORCING A JUDGMENT, (II) IN CONNECTION WITH EXERCISING REMEDIES AGAINST THE COLLATERAL IN A JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH COLLATERAL IS LOCATED, (III) IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PENDING BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION OR (IV) TO THE EXTENT THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN THE PREVIOUS PARAGRAPH DO NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR THE PARTIES OR PROPERTY SUBJECT THERETO.
SECTION 9.32    WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.15 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
SECTION 9.33    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers and Holdings and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender and L/

- 177 -

C Issuer that each such Lender and L/C Issuer has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrowers, each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders except as permitted by Section 7.04.
SECTION 9.34    Borrower Representative.  Each Borrower hereby designates Borrower Representative as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Revolving Credit Loans, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications (including service of process), preparation and delivery of financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.  The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment.  The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any Committed Loan Notice) delivered by Borrower Representative on behalf of any Borrower.  The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Representative for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.
SECTION 9.35    Lender Action.  Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  The provisions of this Section 10.18 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not prevent or limit a Hedge Bank from exercising any rights to close out and/or terminate any Secured Hedge Agreement or transaction thereunder to which it is a party or net any such amounts in each case pursuant to the terms of such Secured Hedge Agreement.
SECTION 9.36    USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers and the Guarantors in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 9.37    Acceptable Intercreditor Agreements.  
(a)    Each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefits of any Collateral Document, each other Secured Party) hereunder (a) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement and (b) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent and/or the Administrative Agent to enter into any Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement, in each case, as Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent hereunder, as applicable, and on behalf of such Lender or other Secured Party.  
(b)    The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the lenders or noteholders (or any agent, trustee or other representative thereof) party to such Acceptable Intercreditor Agreement to extend credit to the Borrowers and such Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions.

- 178 -

SECTION 9.38    Obligations Absolute.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, all obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a)    any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Loan Party;
(b)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto against any Loan Party;
(c)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Loan Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(d)    any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Loan Obligations;
(e)    any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or
(f)    any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Loan Parties.
SECTION 9.39    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Borrowers and Holdings acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that:  (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrowers and Holdings has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of the Borrowers and Holdings is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Lender or Arranger has any obligation to the Borrowers, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers, Holdings or any of their respective Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers and Holdings hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
SECTION 9.40    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

- 179 -

(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
SECTION 9.01    Parallel Debt.   Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally covenants in favor of the Collateral Agent to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts (the “Parallel Debt”) equal to any amounts owing from time to time by that Loan Party to any Secured Party under any Loan Document (the “Original Debt”) as and when the Original Debt falls due for payment. 
(a)    Each Loan Party and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that: 
(i)    the Parallel Debt of the Loan Parties shall be decreased to the extent that the Original Debt of the Loan Parties has been irrevocably paid or discharged; 
(ii)    the Original Debt of the Loan Parties shall be decreased to the extent that the Parallel Debt of the Loan Parties has been irrevocably paid or discharged; and 
(iii)    the amount of the Parallel Debt of each Loan Party shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Original Debt. 
(b)    The obligations of each Loan Party under paragraph (a) above are several, separate and independent from, and shall not in any way affect, its Original Debt, nor shall the amounts for which each relevant Loan Party is liable under its Parallel Debt be limited or affected by its Original Debt, and the Collateral Agent may enforce any payment obligation under the Parallel Debt in its own name as an independent and separate right (and its claims in respect of the Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust).
(c)    No (contractual or legal) set-off shall be permitted between any liabilities owed by the Collateral Agent to the Loan Parties and the Parallel Debt owed by the relevant Loan Parties to the Collateral Agent.
(d)    Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the Loan Parties (whether under this Section 10.24 or under any other provision of the Loan Documents), each Loan Party acknowledges that:
(i)     nothing in this Section 10.24 shall impose any obligation on the  Collateral Agent to advance any sum to the Loan Parties or otherwise under any Loan Document, except in its capacity as Lender (if applicable); and

- 180 -

(ii)    for the purpose of any vote taken under any Loan Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other than those which it has in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable). 
(iii)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, any and all payments made by the Loan Parties under any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be made for, and be accounted against, the Original Debt, unless otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall have no right to claim payments under the Parallel Debt unless the Administrative Agent has instructed the Collateral Agent to do so following an Event of Default. 
SECTION 9.02    Limitations on Liability. Notwithstanding any provisions regarding joint and several liability contained in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any agreements related thereto, it is the intent of the parties hereto and thereto, and such parties hereby agree that, (A) none of the Term B-2 Borrowers or the German Revolving Borrower shall be liable for any Obligations to the extent they do not constitute German Obligations with respect to such entity, (B) the present and future assets of the Term B-2 Borrowers and the German Revolving Borrower shall not be subject to any Lien, claim or action by the Agent or the Lenders to satisfy any Obligations to the extent they do not constitute German Obligations with respect to such entity and (C) neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall have any recourse under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents against any of the German Borrowers or their respective assets in respect of any Obligations to the extent they do not constitute German Obligations with respect to such entity. All amounts paid by the Term B-2 Borrowers or the German Revolving Borrower and all value derived from their respective assets shall be applied solely to the German Obligations with respect to such entity.

Each of the Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of Obligations or any other Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which any Collateral Agent, Authorized Representative or the Secured Parties take or omit to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto

Priorities and Agreements with Respect to Shared Collateral
SECTION 2.01.    Subordination.  Notwithstanding the date, time, manner or order of filing or recordation of any document or instrument or grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens granted to any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Parties on the Shared Collateral or of any Liens granted to any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party on the Shared Collateral (or any actual or alleged defect in any of the foregoing) and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, any applicable law, any Junior Priority Debt Document or any Senior Debt Document or any other circumstance whatsoever, each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that (a) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority over and be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Junior Priority Debt Obligations and (b) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Junior Priority Debt Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Junior Representative, any Junior Priority Debt Parties or any Junior Representative or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations.  All Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Junior Priority Debt Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing or purporting to secure any Senior Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Borrowers, any Grantor or any other Person or otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed.
SECTION 2.02.    No Payment Subordination; Nature of Senior Lender Claims.
(a)    Except as otherwise set forth herein, the subordination of Liens securing Junior Priority Debt Obligations to Liens securing Senior Obligations set forth in Section 2.01 affects only the relative priority of those Liens and all Proceeds thereof and does not subordinate the Junior Priority Debt Obligations in right of payment to the Senior Obligations; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that all payments in respect of Shared Collateral and all Proceeds thereof shall be subject to Section 4.01. Except as otherwise set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement will affect the entitlement of the Junior Priority Debt Parties to receive and retain required payments of interest, principal, and other amounts in respect of Junior Priority Debt Obligations unless the receipt is expressly prohibited by, or results from the Junior Priority Debt Parties’ breach of, this Agreement.
(b)    Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that (i) a portion of the Senior Obligations is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (ii) the terms of the Senior Debt Documents and the Senior Obligations may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the Senior Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (iii) subject to the provisions of Section 5.03(a) of this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Senior Obligations may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Junior Representatives or the Junior Priority Debt Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof. The Lien priorities provided for in Section 2.01 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, supplement or other modification, or any Refinancing, of either the Senior 

9

Obligations or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations, or any portion thereof.  As between the Borrowers and the other Grantors and the Junior Priority Debt Parties, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers and the Grantors contained in any Junior Priority Debt Document with respect to the incurrence of additional Senior Obligations.
SECTION 2.03.    Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  Each of the Junior Representatives, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing, or the allowability of any claims asserted with respect to, any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any of the other Senior Secured Parties or other agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Collateral.  Each Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Secured Party under its Senior Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing, or the allowability of any claims asserted with respect to, any Junior Priority Debt Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Junior Representative or any of the Junior Priority Debt Parties in the Junior Priority Collateral.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Senior Representative to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as provided in Section 2.01) or any of the Senior Debt Documents.
SECTION 2.04.    No New Liens.  The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, none of the Grantors shall (a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Junior Priority Debt Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Senior Obligations or (b) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Senior Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Junior Priority Debt Obligations.  If any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Junior Priority Debt Obligations that are not also subject to the first-priority Liens securing all Senior Obligations under the Senior Collateral Documents, such Junior Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party (i) shall notify the Designated Senior Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each Senior Representative as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Designated Senior Representative as security for all Senior Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (ii) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to each Senior Representative, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Senior Representative and the other Senior Secured Parties as security for the Senior Obligations.  The parties hereto further agree that so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any of the Grantors, if any Junior Priority Debt Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Grantor securing any Junior Priority Debt Obligation which assets are not also subject to the first priority Lien of the Senior Secured Parties under the Senior Debt Documents, then, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to any Senior Representative or the other Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and the Junior Priority Debt Parties, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens so granted shall be subject to Section 4.02.

10

SECTION 2.05.    Perfection of Liens.  Except for the limited agreements of the Senior Representatives pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof, none of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Junior Representatives or the Junior Priority Debt Parties.  The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties and shall not impose on the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives, the Junior Priority Debt Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.
SECTION 2.06.    Certain Cash Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Senior Debt Documents or Junior Priority Debt Documents to the contrary, collateral consisting of cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure Senior Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit or otherwise held by the Initial Senior Representative pursuant to Section  1.08(b). 2.03(a)(iii)(E), 2.03(c)(vii), 2.03(f), 2.04(b), 2.04(f), 2.05(b)(vii), 2.05(c), 2.13, 2.16(f), 2.16(g), 3.06(c), or 8.02(c) of the First Lien Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in the First Lien Credit Agreement and will not constitute Shared Collateral.
ARTICLE III 
 
Enforcement
SECTION 3.01.    Exercise of Remedies.
(a)    So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrowers or any other Grantor, (i) neither any Junior Representative nor any Junior Priority Debt Party will (w) institute (or direct or support any other Person in instituting) any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding against the Borrowers or any other Grantor, (x) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Junior Priority Debt Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (y) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Shared Collateral or any other Senior Collateral by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Obligations, the exercise of any right by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Senior Obligations under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter, if applicable, or similar agreement or arrangement to which any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Senior Collateral or the Senior Obligations, or (z) object to the forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Shared Collateral in respect of Senior Obligations and (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff, recoupment, and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Shared Collateral, and to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising any such rights, enforcing any such remedies or conducting any proceeding with respect to any such exercise or enforcement with respect to the Shared Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Junior Representative 

11

or any Junior Priority Debt Party; provided, however, that any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party may exercise any or all such rights after the passage of a period of 180 days from the date of delivery of a notice in writing to the Designated Senior Representative of such Junior Representative’s or Junior Priority Debt Party’s intention to exercise its right to take such actions which notice shall specify that an “Event of Default” as defined in the applicable Junior Priority Debt Documents has occurred and as a result of such “Event of Default”, the principal and interest under such Junior Priority Debt Documents have become due and payable in full (whether as a result of acceleration or otherwise) (the “Junior Priority Standstill Period”) unless a Senior Representative has commenced and is diligently pursuing remedies with respect to all or a material part of the Shared Collateral (or such exercise of remedies is stayed by applicable Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings); provided, further, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Borrowers or any other Grantor, any Junior Representative may file a claim, proof of claim, or statement of interest with respect to the Junior Priority Debt Obligations under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, (B)  any Junior Representative may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations or the rights of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on, the Shared Collateral, (C) any Junior Representative and the Junior Priority Debt Parties may exercise their rights and remedies as unsecured creditors, to the extent as provided in Section 5.05, (D) any Junior Representative may exercise the rights and remedies provided for in Section 6.03, (E) any Junior Representative and any Junior Priority Debt Party may file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding, or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance that is not permitted by this Agreement of the claims or Liens of any Junior Priority Debt Party, including any claims secured by the Shared Collateral, (F) subject to Section 6.05(b), any Junior Representative and any Junior Priority Debt Party may vote on any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan that is consistent with this Agreement, (G) any Junior Representative and any Junior Priority Debt Party may join (but not exercise any control with respect to) any judicial foreclosure proceeding or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the Shared Collateral initiated by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party to the extent that any such action could not reasonably be expected, in any material respect, to restrain, hinder, limit, delay for any material period or otherwise interfere with the exercise of remedies by any Senior Representative or such other Senior Secured Party (it being understood that neither Designated Junior Representative nor any other Junior Priority Debt Party shall be entitled to receive any Proceeds thereof unless otherwise expressly permitted herein), and (H) any Junior Representative and any Junior Priority Debt Party may exercise any remedies after the termination of the Junior Priority Standstill Period if and to the extent specifically permitted by this Section 3.01(a).  Any recovery by any Junior Priority Debt Party pursuant to the preceding clause (H) shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.  In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Collateral, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion.  Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(c)    Subject to Section 3.01(a), (i) each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that neither such Junior Representative nor any such Junior Priority Debt Party will take any action that, [notwithstanding the expiration of the Junior Priority Standstill Period], would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Junior Priority Debt Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Junior Priority Debt Parties.
(d)    Each Junior Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Junior Priority Debt Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Debt Documents.

Following the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Junior Representative (or any Person authorized by it) shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral, and the Designated Junior Representative (or any Person authorized by it) shall have the exclusive right to direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the Junior Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Junior Representatives, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Junior Priority Collateral Documents; provided, that nothing in this Section shall impair the ability of the Junior Representative and the Junior Priority Debt Parties to exercise any of their rights or remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral to the extent permitted by Section 3.01(a); provided, further that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Junior Representative or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior Obligations as may be otherwise required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Junior Priority Debt Parties or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations.

13

unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Senior Secured Parties and the Senior Representatives upon the request of the Designated Senior Representative) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Shared Collateral under any of the Junior Priority Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations.
SECTION 3.03.    Actions upon Breach.  Should any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of the Borrowers or any other Grantor) may obtain relief against such Junior Representative or such Junior Priority Debt Party by injunction, specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief.  Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby (i) agrees that the Senior Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Junior Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that the Borrowers, any other Grantor or the Senior Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action that may be brought by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party.

Other Agreements
SECTION 5.01.    Releases.
(a)    Subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 5.01(a), each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any specified item of Shared Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of any subsidiary of the Borrowers) (a “Disposition”), the Liens granted to the Junior Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties upon such Shared Collateral to secure Junior Priority Debt Obligations shall terminate or shall be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with the termination or release of all Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure Senior Obligations, provided that the parties’ respective Liens shall attach to the net proceeds of such Disposition with the same Lien priorities as provided in this Agreement to the extent such proceeds are not otherwise utilized to permanently reduce the Senior Obligations.  Upon delivery to a Junior Representative of an Officer’s Certificate stating that any such termination or release of Liens securing the Senior Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective concurrently with such termination or release of the Liens granted to the Junior Priority Debt Parties and the Junior Representatives) and any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release prepared by the Borrowers or any other Grantor, such Junior Representative will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Borrowers’ or the other Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such instruments to evidence such termination or release of the Liens; provided, however that such Officer’s Certificate shall not be required for any termination or release in connection with the exercise of remedies following an event of default.  Nothing in this Section 5.01(a) will be deemed to (x) affect any agreement of a Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, to release the Liens on the Junior Priority Collateral as set forth in the relevant Junior Priority Debt Documents or (y) except in the case of a Disposition in connection with the exercise of secured creditors’ rights and remedies, require the release of Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure Junior Priority Debt Obligations if such Disposition is not permitted under the terms of the Junior Priority Debt Documents.  If in connection with any enforcement action or other exercise of rights and remedies by any Senior Representative, in each case, prior to a Discharge of Senior Obligations, the equity interests of any Person are foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed of and such Senior Representative releases its Lien on the property or assets of such Person, then the liens of each Junior Representative and Junior Priority Debt Parties will be released to the same extent as the Liens of such Senior Representative and Senior Secured Parties are released.
(b)    Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Designated Senior Representative and any officer or agent of the Designated Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Junior Representative or such Junior Priority Debt Party or in the Designated Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time in the Designated Senior Representative’s discretion, for 

15

the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 5.01(a), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a), including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
(c)    Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after an event of default under any Senior Debt Document of Proceeds of Shared Collateral to the repayment of Senior Obligations pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents, provided that nothing in this Section 5.01(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Junior Representatives or the Junior Priority Debt Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Junior Priority Debt Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.
(d)    Subject to Sections 5.06(a) and 5.06(f), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Junior Priority Collateral Document, in the event the terms of a Senior Collateral Document and a Junior Priority Collateral Document each require any Grantor to (i) make payment in respect of any item of Shared Collateral to, (ii) deliver or afford control over any item of Shared Collateral to, or deposit any item of Shared Collateral with, (iii) register ownership of any item of Shared Collateral in the name of or make an assignment of ownership of any Shared Collateral or the rights thereunder to, (iv) cause any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or other Person acting in a similar capacity to agree to comply, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, with instructions or orders from, or to treat, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, as the entitlement holder, (v) hold any item of Shared Collateral in trust for (to the extent such item of Shared Collateral cannot be held in trust for multiple parties under applicable law), (vi) obtain the agreement of a bailee or other third party to hold any item of Shared Collateral for the benefit of or subject to the control of or, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, to follow the instructions of or (vii) obtain the agreement of a landlord with respect to access to leased premises where any item of Shared Collateral is located or waivers or subordination of rights with respect to any item of Shared Collateral in favor of, in any case, any Senior Representative or Senior Secured Party and any Junior Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party, such Grantor may, until the applicable Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, comply with such requirement under the Junior Priority Collateral Document as it relates to such Shared Collateral by taking any of the actions set forth above only with respect to, or in favor of, the Designated Senior Representative.
SECTION 5.02.    Insurance and Condemnation Awards.  Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Debt Documents, (a) to be named as additional insured and loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Grantor other persons, in addition to the Junior Representative, (b) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (c) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.  Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, if in respect of the Shared Collateral, shall be applied (i) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Senior Representative for the benefit of Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Senior Debt Documents, (ii) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Junior Representative for the benefit of the Junior Priority Debt Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Junior Priority Debt Documents and (iii) third, if no Junior Priority Debt Obligations or Senior Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Designated Senior Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.
SECTION 5.03.    Matters Relating to Loan Documents.
(a)    The Senior Debt Documents and the terms thereof may be amended, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified (including in connection with the incurrence of any incremental facilities) in accordance with their terms, and the Indebtedness under the Senior Debt Documents may be Refinanced, in each case, without the consent of any Junior Priority Debt Parties; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Designated Junior Representative, no such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, waiver or Refinancing (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications, waivers or Refinancings) shall contravene any provision of this Agreement.
(b)    Without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative, no Junior Priority Debt Document may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, or entered into, to the extent such amendment, restatement, supplement or modification, or the terms of such new Junior Priority Debt Document, would contravene the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.04.    Amendments to Junior Priority Collateral Documents.
(a)    No Junior Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Junior Priority Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.  Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that each Junior Priority Collateral Document under its Junior Priority Debt Facility shall include the following language (or language to similar effect reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the Junior Representative pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted in favor of the Senior Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement referred to below), including liens and security interests granted to (A) Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“Goldman”), as collateral agent, pursuant to or in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of [             ], 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among W.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.” 
(b)    In the event that the Designated Senior Representative and/or the Senior Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Borrowers or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral) in a manner that is applicable to all Senior Facilities, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party and without any action by any Junior Representative, the Borrowers or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets subject to the Lien of the Junior Priority Collateral Documents, except to the extent that such release is permitted by Section 5.01 and there is a corresponding release of the Lien securing the Senior Obligations, (ii) imposing duties that are adverse on any Junior Representative without its consent or (iii) altering the terms of the Junior Priority Debt Documents to permit other Liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Junior Priority Debt Documents as in effect on the date hereof or under Article VI hereof and (B) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Junior Representative within 10 Business Days after the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.
SECTION 5.05.    Rights as Unsecured Creditors.  The Junior Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrowers or the Guarantors in accordance with the terms of the Junior Priority Debt Documents and applicable law so long as such rights and remedies do not violate or are not otherwise inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Junior Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Shared Collateral.  In the event any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt

18

Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Junior Priority Debt Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.
SECTION 5.06.    Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.
(a)    Each Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of such Senior Representative, or of agents or bailees of such Person (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), or if it shall at any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, the Designated Senior Representative shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Representatives (such bailment and agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirement of Sections 8-301(a)(2), 9-313(c), 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the UCC), in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Junior Priority Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.06.
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Junior Priority Collateral Documents did not exist.  The rights of the Junior Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d)    The Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Junior Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.06.  The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Representatives under this Section 5.06 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.06 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant Junior Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Junior Representative and delivering the Shared Collateral upon a Discharge of Senior Obligations as set forth in Section 5.06(f).
(e)    The Senior Representatives shall not have by reason of the Junior Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, and each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Senior Representatives from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Representatives’ roles under this Section 5.06 as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared Collateral.

19

(f)    Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Senior Representative shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Junior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by the Designated Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and to the extent that it is able to do so assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Designated Junior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.  The Borrowers and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith or the willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of a Representative (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).  The Senior Representatives have no obligations to follow instructions from any Junior Representative or any other Junior Priority Debt Party in contravention of this Agreement.
(g)    None of the Senior Representatives nor any of the other Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary to any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.
SECTION 5.07.    When Discharge of Senior Obligations is Deemed Not to Have Occurred.  If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, Holdings, the Borrowers or any other Subsidiary Guarantor incurs any Senior Obligations (other than in respect of the payment of indemnities surviving the Discharge of Senior Obligations), then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be a Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.  Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Senior Representative), each Junior Representative (including the Designated Junior Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Borrowers), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Borrowers or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Representative the rights of a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to such Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Junior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord 

20

waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, and (c) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Grantor that the new Designated Senior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.
ARTICLE VI 
 
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings
SECTION 6.01.    Financing Issues.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Borrowers or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party shall desire to consent (or not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the Borrowers’ or any other Grantor’s obtaining financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, from any Senior Secured Party) under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will raise no objection to and will not otherwise contest such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except to the extent permitted by Section 3.01(a) and Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (y) all adequate protection Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees or payment of any other amounts agreed to by applicable Senior Secured Parties.  Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, further agrees that until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will raise no (a) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations made by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, (b) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any lawful exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral (including pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law), (c) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral or (d) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or oppose) any order relating to a sale or other disposition of assets of any Grantor (including under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) for which the Designated Senior Representative has consented (or not objected) that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Junior Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.01 shall prohibit any Junior Priority Debt Party from (a) subject to Section 6.05(b), exercising its rights to vote in favor of or against a plan of reorganization, (b) proposing a DIP Financing to any Grantor so long as such DIP Financing does not “roll up” any pre-petition Junior Priority Debt Obligations or (c) objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating, describing or requiring any provision or content of a plan of reorganization.

21

SECTION 6.02.    Relief from the Automatic Stay.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, or support or join, directly or indirectly, any party in doing or performing the same, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative.
SECTION 6.03.    Adequate Protection.  Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall (x) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection in any form, (b) any objection by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any claims by a Senior Representative or Senior Secured Party of a lack of adequate protection or (c) the allowance and/or payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (y) request any form of adequate protection except as permitted by the following sentence.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law and/or a superpriority administrative claim, then each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request, without objection by any Senior Secured Party, adequate protection in the form of (as applicable) a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim, which Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing and granted as adequate protection for all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and which superpriority claim is junior and subordinated to the superpriority administrative claim granted as adequate protection to the Senior Secured Parties; provided, that each Junior Priority Debt Representative shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such junior superpriority claims, and (ii) in the event any Junior Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Junior Priority Debt Parties under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim, then such Junior Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under their Junior Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be entitled to seek without objection from any Junior Priority Debt Party, a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as adequate protection for the Senior Obligations and/or a superpriority administrative claim, and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral granted as adequate protection for the Junior Priority Debt Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, and that any superpriority claim is junior and subordinated to the superpriority administrative claim granted as adequate protection to the Senior Secured Parties.

22

SECTION 6.04.    Preference Issues.  If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of either Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential or otherwise under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff, recoupment, or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts.  If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto.  Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement the Senior Debt Documents and/or Collateral Documents, as applicable.
SECTION 6.05.    Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications; Plans of Reorganization.(a)    Each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Junior Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable) before any distribution is made from the Shared Collateral in respect of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations, with each Junior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Priority Debt Parties.
(b)    Each Junior Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor in accordance with Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) shall not propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan that is inconsistent with the terms of 

23

this Agreement unless such plan is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Secured Parties required under Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision or any other Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 6.06.    No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties.  Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Priority Debt Party, including the seeking by any Junior Priority Debt Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Junior Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.
SECTION 6.07.    Application.  This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective and enforceable before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and Proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor.  All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.
SECTION 6.08.    Other Matters.  To the extent that any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Representative, provided that if requested by any Senior Representative, such Junior Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by such Senior Representatives, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.
SECTION 6.09.    506(c) Claims.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party, agrees that it will not assert, support or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or seek to recover any amounts that any Grantor may obtain by virtue of any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, in each case, for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral or otherwise, and it will not accept the benefit of any such claims. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, to the extent any Junior Priority Debt Party receives any payments or consideration on account of or resulting from claims under 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law in violation of the immediately-preceding sentence, then such Junior Priority Debt Party will turn over to the Designated Senior Representative such amounts, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Priority Debt Parties.
SECTION 6.10.    Reorganization Securities.  If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Junior Priority Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Junior Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

24

SECTION 6.11.    Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, none of the Junior Representatives nor any Junior Priority Debt Party shall seek to exercise any rights under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision under any Bankruptcy Law. All rights of the Senior Secured Parties to exercise any rights under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision under any Bankruptcy Law, if any, are reserved and unaltered by this Agreement.
ARTICLE VII 
 
Reliance; etc.
SECTION 7.01.    Reliance.  The consent by the Senior Secured Parties to the execution and delivery of the Junior Priority Debt Documents to which the Senior Secured Parties have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the effective date of this Agreement by the Senior Secured Parties to Holdings, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement.  Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Junior Priority Debt Parties have, independently and without reliance on any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Junior Priority Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Junior Priority Debt Documents or this Agreement.
SECTION 7.02.    No Warranties or Liability.  Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon.  The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  Neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Representative or Junior Priority Debt Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary (including the Junior Priority Debt Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Senior Obligations, the Junior Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

25

ARTICLE VIII 
 
Miscellaneous
SECTION 8.01.    Conflicts.  Subject to Section 8.23, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Debt Document or any Junior Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Senior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control.  
SECTION 8.02.    Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability.  Subject to Section 5.07 and Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred.  This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Junior Representatives or any Junior Priority Debt Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of Holdings, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary constituting Senior Obligations in reliance hereon.  The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  Any provision of this Agreement that is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions 

26

the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8.03.    Amendments; Waivers.
(a)    No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any 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. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended or modified or any provision waived except pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility) and the Borrowers (or any successor  Borrower under the First Lien Credit Agreement); provided that (x) the Designated Senior Representative may, without the written consent of any other Secured Party, agree to modifications of this Agreement solely for the purpose of securing additional extensions of credit (including pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement or any Refinancing or extension thereof) and adding new creditors as “Secured Parties” and “Senior Secured Parties” hereunder, so long as such extensions (and resulting additions) do not otherwise give rise to a violation of the express terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any other Senior Debt Documents or the Junior Priority Debt Document and (y) additional Grantors may be added as parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.07. Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Senior Secured Parties and the Junior Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns.  Each waiver of the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall not impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. 
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Representatives Supplement in accordance with Section 8.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Junior Priority Debt Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.
SECTION 8.04.    Information Concerning the Financial Condition of Holdings, the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries. The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Junior Priority Debt Obligations. The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that any Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Junior Representative or any Junior Priority Debt Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes 

27

at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Junior Representatives and the Junior Priority Debt Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.
SECTION 8.05.    Subrogation.  Subject to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, with respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, or other assets that the Junior Priority Debt Parties or any Junior Representative pays over to the Designated Senior Representative or any of the other Senior Secured Parties under the terms of this Agreement, the Junior Priority Debt Parties and each Junior Representative shall be subrogated to the rights of each Senior Representative and such other Senior Secured Parties; provided that each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees not to assert any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or distributions in cash or other assets received by any Junior Representative or the other Junior Priority Debt Party and paid over to the Designated Senior Representative or the other Senior Secured Parties pursuant to, and applied in accordance with, this Agreement, shall not relieve or reduce any of the Obligations owed by any Grantor under the Junior Priority Debt Documents.
SECTION 8.06.    Application of Payments.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Senior Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents.  Except as otherwise provided herein, each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Priority Debt Party under its Junior Priority Debt Facility, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.
SECTION 8.07.    Additional Grantors.  The Borrowers agree that, if any Subsidiary shall become a Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly cause such Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex I. Upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Designated Junior Representative and the Designated Senior Representative. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 8.08.    [Reserved].  
SECTION 8.09.    Additional Debt Facilities.  To the extent, but only to the extent, permitted by the provisions of the then extant Senior Debt Documents and the Junior Priority Debt Documents and this Agreement, the Borrowers may incur or issue and sell one or more series or classes of Junior Priority Debt and one or more series or classes of Additional Senior Debt.  Any such additional class or series of Junior Priority Debt (the “Junior Priority Class Debt”) may be secured by a junior priority, subordinated 

28

Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the relevant Junior Priority Collateral Documents for such Junior Priority Class Debt, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Junior Priority Class Debt (each, a “Junior Priority Class Debt Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Junior Priority Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any Junior Priority Class Debt being referred to as the “Junior Priority Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying conditions (i) through (iii), as applicable, in this Section 8.09.  Any such additional class or series of Senior Facilities (the “Senior Class Debt”; and the Senior Class Debt and Junior Priority Class Debt, collectively, the “Class Debt”) may be secured by a senior Lien on Shared Collateral, in each case under and pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents, if and subject to the condition that the Representative of any such Senior Class Debt (each, a “Senior Class Debt Representative”; and the Senior Class Debt Representatives and Junior Priority Class Debt Representatives, collectively, the “Class Debt Representatives”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Senior Class Debt (such Representative and holders in respect of any such Senior Class Debt being referred to as the “Senior Class Debt Parties”; and the Senior Class Debt Parties and Junior Priority Class Debt Parties, collectively, the “Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii), as applicable, in this Section 8.09.  In order for a Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement:
(i)    such Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered a Representatives Supplement substantially in the form of Annex II (if such Representative is a Junior Priority Class Debt Representative) or Annex III (if such Representative is a Senior Class Debt Representative) (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative and such Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which it becomes a Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Class Debt Representative is the Representative and the related Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby;

(ii)    the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Designated Senior Representative and Designated Junior Representative a certificate of an appropriate officer (an “Officer’s Certificate”) stating that the conditions set forth in this Section 8.09 are satisfied with respect to such Class Debt and, if requested, true and complete copies of each of the Junior Priority Debt Documents or Senior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers; and
(iii)    the Junior Priority Debt Documents or Senior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt shall provide that each Class Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt.
SECTION 8.10.    Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a)    submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Collateral 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 and/or the Collateral Documents 

29

shall affect any right that any Representative may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Senior Debt Document against any Guarantor or its respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction;
(b)    waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that 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 and/or the Collateral Documents in any court referred to in paragraph (a) 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;
(c)    consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.11 and nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any other party hereto (or any Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law;
(c)    as it relates to any Grantor, such Grantor designates, appoints and empowers the Borrowers 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 such action or proceeding and the Borrowers hereby accepts such designation and appointment; and
(e)    waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have against another party hereto or any other Representative or Secured Party to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 8.10 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, certain Additional Senior Debt Documents and certain Junior Priority Debt Documents, certain newly acquired or organized Subsidiaries of the Borrowers are required to enter into the Junior Intercreditor Agreement.  Section 8.07 of the Junior Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Subsidiaries may become party to the Junior Intercreditor Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.

SECTION 2.01.    Guaranty and Keepwell.

US-DOCS\98864159.5

SECTION 2.02.    Guaranty of Payment.  Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligations, or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrowers or any other Person.
SECTION 2.03.    No Limitations.
(a)    Except for the limitations set forth in Section 2.03(c), the termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 4.13 and except as provided in the definition of Obligations with respect to Excluded Swap Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense (other than a defense of full payment or performance) or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations, or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor hereby waives any defense relating to) (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release, non-perfection, impairment, exchange or substitution of any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).  Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other Guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.
(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Obligations, or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor, other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations.  The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrowers or any other Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrowers or any other Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full in cash.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.

(c)    Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Agreement and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Agreement and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Agreement not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
(d)    Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct or indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in this Agreement are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 2.04.    Reinstatement.  Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Borrower, any other Guarantor or otherwise.
SECTION 2.05.    Agreement To Pay; Subrogation.  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower or any other Guarantor to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation.  Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Guarantor arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III.
SECTION 2.06.    Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ and each other Guarantor’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations, and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION
SECTION 3.01.    Contribution and Subrogation.  Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 3.02) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Obligation (the “Claiming Party”), the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date of such payment.  Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 3.01 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 3.02.    Subordination.
(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Section 3.01 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to, and shall not be exercised prior to (i) the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Loan Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and (ii) the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit with no pending drawings (other than Letters of Credit that have been backstopped, Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have been made).  No failure on the part of the US Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Section 3.01 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.
(b)    Each Guarantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice from the Administrative Agent (provided, that no notice shall be required in connection with any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement), all Indebtedness owed by it to any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than (w) obligations under Designated Credit Lines not yet due and payable, (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable).

MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 4.01.    Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.  All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower Representative in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.02.    Waivers; Amendment.
(a)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any L/C Issuer 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 

-7-
US-DOCS\98864159.5

the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.  No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent to the extent required by Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 4.03.    Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses, Indemnification.
(a)    The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder to the extent required by Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement as if such section were set out in full herein and references to “the Borrowers” therein were references to “each Guarantor.”
(b)    Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement) to the extent required by Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement as if such section were set out in full herein and references to “the Borrowers” therein were references to “each Guarantor.”
(c)    Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations guaranteed hereby and secured by the other Collateral Documents.  The provisions of this Section 4.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 4.03 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 4.04.    Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns.
SECTION 4.05.    Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any 

-8-
US-DOCS\98864159.5

investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, 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 any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 4.06.    Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication (including “.pdf “ or “.tiff” files) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 4.07.    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 4.08.    Right of Set-Off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Specified Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Guarantor, any such notice being waived by each Guarantor to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Guarantor against any and all obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the relevant Guarantor and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 4.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer and such Lender may have.

The Guarantors have entered into the Guaranty in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans, the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit and the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements.

The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 7.  Notice.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 4.01 of the Guaranty.
SECTION 8.  Reimbursement.

This promissory note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of the [US Revolving Credit Loans] [Multicurrency Revolving Credit Loans] or L/C Advances by the Lender to or for the benefit of the [US Borrower] [German Revolving Borrower] from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any

To the extent any Equity Interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership owned by any Grantor is required to be pledged by the terms of the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement” in the Credit Agreement  and Section 6.10 thereof, and to the extent such limited liability company or limited partnership elects to treat its limited liability company interests as “securities” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, such Equity Interest shall be represented by a certificate, shall be a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC, shall be governed by Article 8 of the UCC and shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.02.  If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, upon the Collateral Agent’s request during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions, subject to compliance with Applicable Law, from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.

(a)    Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given one (1) Business Days’ advance written notice to the Borrower Representative that the rights of the Grantors under this Section 2.06 are being suspended:
(i)    Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner or holder of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Collateral or the rights and remedies of any of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same, unless such exercise of powers is in connection with an action permitted by the Credit Agreement.
(ii)    The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as each Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.
(iii)    Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Collateral or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and, to the extent required by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent).

(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower Representative of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors in accordance with paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 (provided that, no such notice shall be 

-7-
US-DOCS\98864089.6

required in the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency of any Grantor), then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions.  All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon request in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent).  Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived (and the Borrower Representative has delivered written notice of the same to the Collateral Agent), the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 and that remain in such account.
(c)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower Representative of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under and in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, then all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06 and the Collateral Agent shall have all the obligations it would otherwise have under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06.
(d)    Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Grantors suspending the rights of the Grantors of Pledged Collateral under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 (i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 2.07    Uncertificated Securities.  No Grantor will permit any issuer of Pledged Securities, which Pledged Securities are uncertificated, to elect to treat such Pledged Securities as a security pursuant to Section 8-103(c) of the UCC (including by modifying its Organizational Documents) without certificating such interests and delivering all certificates evidencing such Pledged Securities to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2.02.  Without limitation of the foregoing, if any Pledged Security becomes an uncertificated security, each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, it will comply with the instructions of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Equity Interests in such Grantor that constitute Collateral hereunder that are not certificated without further consent by the applicable owner or holder of such Pledged Securities.

(d)    The Borrower Representative agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to obtain, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.  If any amount payable to any Grantor under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $10,000,000 shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be pledged in accordance with Section 3.04(a) and delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 3.04(a), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(f)    If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person, the value of which is in excess of $10,000,000 to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly collaterally assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.
(g)    Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance to the extent required by Section 6.03 of this Agreement.
(h)    Covenants Regarding Intellectual Property.
(i)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, with prompt written notice thereof to the Grantors, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule III hereto to specifically identify any asset or item owned by the Grantor that may constitute a registration or application for Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks, as applicable, that is material to the business of Holdings, the US Borrower and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office; provided that any Grantor shall have the right, exercisable within

(ii)    Subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to clause (vi) below, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, such reasonable steps as it determines are appropriate in its reasonable business judgment in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office to (x) maintain the validity and enforceability of any registered Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor that is material to the business of Holdings, the US Borrower and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) in full force and effect, and (y) pursue the maintenance of or prosecution of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application that is material to the business of Holdings, the US Borrower and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), now or hereafter included in the Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of applications for renewal, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 or the U.S. Trademark Act and the payment of maintenance fees.
(iii)    Subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to clause (vi) below, no Grantor shall knowingly do or authorize any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor that is material to the business of Holdings, the US Borrower and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) may prematurely lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or abandoned (or in the case of a trade secret, becomes publicly known).
(iv)    Subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to clause (vi) below, each Grantor shall take commercially reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor that is material to the business of Holdings, the US Borrower and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to the extent required under applicable law, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the material Trademarks, substantially consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof.
(v)    Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain ownership of any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property after the Closing Date, including any U.S. or other “intent-to-use” trademark application (or registration resulting therefrom) that is no longer deemed an Excluded Property (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property shall automatically become part of the Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto.
(vi)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement prevents any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Collateral to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement or if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that it is desirable or otherwise reasonable to do so in the conduct of its business.
SECTION 3.04    Other Actions.  In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

-14-
US-DOCS\98864089.6

(a)    Instruments.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments (other than checks to be deposited in the ordinary course of business) constituting Collateral and evidencing an amount in excess of $10,000,000, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, collaterally assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
(b)    Investment Property.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities or instruments constituting Collateral evidencing an individual aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 2.07, if any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, upon the Collateral Agent’s request and following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.
(c)    Intellectual Property.  With respect to any After-Acquired Intellectual Property which constitutes Collateral that is an issued Patent (or a published application therefor), registered Trademark (or application therefor) or a registered Copyright which is registered or pending with, as applicable, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office and is not covered by any short form agreement in the form of Exhibit II previously signed and delivered to the Collateral Agent, the applicable Grantor will promptly cooperate as reasonably requested by, and necessary to enable, the Collateral Agent to make any necessary or reasonably desirable recordations with, as applicable, the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as appropriate, and upon the request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall promptly file and record appropriate instruments or documents with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office for such recordation, as appropriate.
(d)    Commercial Tort Claims.  As of the date hereof, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants that it holds no Commercial Tort Claims with a value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative) in excess of $10,000,000 individually other than those listed on Schedule II.  If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim with a value (as reasonably determined by the Borrower Representative) in excess of $10,000,000 individually, such Grantor shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days (or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion)) deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement to Schedule II hereto, which Schedule II shall automatically and without further action become part of Schedule II hereto and such Commercial Tort Claim shall automatically be subject to the Security Interest.

ARTICLE IV 
 
Remedies
SECTION 4.01    Remedies upon Default.
(a)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party in law and in equity with respect to the Obligations under the Uniform Commercial Code (including the New York UCC) in any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise; (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate and (v) cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained).  The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
(b)    The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors ten days’ prior written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9‐611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that 

-16-
US-DOCS\98864089.6

notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.  For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9‐610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
SECTION 4.02    Application of Proceeds.
(a)    The Collateral Agent shall, subject to any Applicable Intercreditor Agreement, apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.
(b)    The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money therefor by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
(c)    In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied.  All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it.

US-DOCS\98864089.6

SECTION 4.03    Grant of Intellectual Property License.  For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies under this Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a nonexclusive, irrevocable (subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.03) license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any such Grantor) to use or, solely to the extent necessary to exercise such rights and remedies, sublicense any of the Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor that constitutes Intellectual Property and license rights included in the General Intangibles, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license, solely to the extent necessary to exercise such rights and remedies, reasonable access to media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require any Grantor to grant any license if it does not have the right to do so or that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation or is prohibited by, or that would constitute a breach or default under or result in the termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation under any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document; provided, further, that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent and its rights thereunder may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any permitted license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors until the termination of this Agreement notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default, provided that it was entered into in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, at the time of the release of the Lien as set forth in Section 6.13, the license granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall automatically and immediately terminate.
ARTICLE V 
 
Subrogation and Subordination
SECTION 5.01    Contribution and Subrogation.  Each Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 5.02) that, in the event assets of any other Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall be sold pursuant to any Collateral Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date of such sale and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date of such sale.  Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 5.02    Subordination.
(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under Section 5.01 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to, and shall not be exercised prior to (i) the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of the Loan Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and (ii) the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit with no pending drawings (other than Letters of Credit that have been backstopped, Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have been made).  No failure on the part of any Grantor to make the payments required by Section 5.01 (or any 

-18-
US-DOCS\98864089.6

other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.
(b)    Each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after written notice from the Collateral Agent (provided, that no notice shall be required in connection with any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement) all Indebtedness owed by it to any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than (w) obligations under Designated Credit Lines not yet due and payable, (x) obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable).
ARTICLE VI 
 
Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.01    Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.  All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower Representative in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.  
SECTION 6.02    Waivers; Amendment.
(a)    No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent, any other Agent, any L/C Issuer 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 Collateral Agent, any other Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.  No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent to the extent required by Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.03    Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
(a)    The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder to the extent required by Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement as if such section were set out in full herein and references to “the applicable Borrower” therein were references to each Grantor.

-19-
US-DOCS\98864089.6

(b)    Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement) to the extent required by Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement as if such section were set out in full herein and references to “the Borrowers” therein were references to “each Grantor.”
(c)    Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents.  The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 6.04    Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and permitted assigns.
SECTION 6.05    Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any other Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, 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 any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 6.06    Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication (including “.pdf” or “.tiff” files) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

US-DOCS\98864089.6

SECTION 6.07    Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 6.08    Right of Set-Off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Specified Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower Representative or any other Grantor, any such notice being waived by the Borrower Representative (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Grantor and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Grantors and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 6.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Collateral Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.
SECTION 6.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process.
(a)    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

EACH GRANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.

FORM OF SHORT FORM 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT44 
This INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “IP Security Agreement”) dated [______], 20[__], is made by the Persons listed on the signature pages hereof (collectively, the “Grantors”) in favor of Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“Goldman Sachs”), as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties.

WHEREAS, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans, the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit and certain other Secured Parties to make other financial accommodations to Holdings, the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries.
WHEREAS, under the terms of the Security Agreement, the Grantors have granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, among other property, certain intellectual property of the Grantors, and have agreed as a condition thereof to execute this IP Security Agreement for recording with the [United States Patent and Trademark Office] [United States Copyright Office].
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor agrees as follows:
SECTION 1.  Grant of Security.  Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (the “Collateral”):
(a)    [the issued and pending Patents (as defined in the Security Agreement) in the United States Patent and Trademark Office set forth in Schedule [A] hereto;]
_____________________
44 Note:  To be broken out into an individual short-form agreement for patents, trademarks and copyrights for filing purposes.

SECTION 2.  Security for Obligations.  The grant of a security interest in the Collateral by each Grantor under this IP Security Agreement secures the payment of all Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this IP Security Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the secured Obligations and that would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that such secured Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Grantor.
SECTION 3.  Recordation.  This IP Security Agreement has been executed and delivered by the Grantors for the purpose of recording the grant of security interest herein with the [United States Patent and Trademark Office] [United States Copyright Office].

SECTION 4.  Execution in Counterparts.  This IP Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
SECTION 5.  Grants, Rights and Remedies.  This IP Security Agreement has been entered into in conjunction with the provisions of the Security Agreement.  Each Grantor does hereby acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the security interest hereunder to, and the rights and remedies of, the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this IP Security Agreement and the terms of the Security Agreement, the terms of the Security Agreement shall govern.
SECTION 6.  Governing Law.  This IP Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 7.  Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this IP Security Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
