W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement in the form of this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that, effective as of the Restatement Effective Date, the Original Credit Agreement shall be, and hereby is, amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Section 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.

1.01 Commitments.

(a) Tranche B-2 Term Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Additional Term B-2 Lender agrees to make a term loan to the Borrower in Dollars (a “Tranche B-2 Term Loan”, which term shall include the portion of each Converted Term Loan that is converted into a Tranche B-2 Term Loan pursuant to the following clause (ii)) on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date in an amount equal to such Additional Term B-2 Lender’s Additional Term B-2 Commitment and (ii) the Converted Term B-2 Percentage of each Converted Term Loan of any Lender shall be converted into a Tranche B-2 Term Loan of such Lender as of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date. The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date to each Lender party to this Agreement on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, as compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Tranche B-2 Term Loan, a closing fee (the “Tranche B-2 Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.75% of the principal amount of such Lender’s Tranche B-2 Term Loan made (including as a result of the conversion of

---

Converted Term Loans) on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date. Such Tranche B-2 Closing Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.

(b) Tranche C-2 Term Loans. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Additional Term C-2 Lender agrees to make a term loan to the Borrower in Dollars (a “Tranche C-2 Term Loan”, which term shall include the portion of each Converted Term Loan that is converted into a Tranche C-2 Term Loan pursuant to the following clause (ii)) on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date in an amount equal to such Additional Term C-2 Lender’s Additional Term C-2 Commitment and (ii) the Converted Term C-2 Percentage of each Converted Term Loan of any Lender shall be converted into a Tranche C-2 Term Loan of such Lender as of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date. The Bermuda Borrower agrees to pay on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date to each Lender party to this Agreement on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, as compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Tranche C-2 Term Loan, a closing fee (the “Tranche C-2 Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.75% of the principal amount of such Lender’s Tranche C-2 Term Loan made (including as a result of the conversion of Converted Term Loans) on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date. Such Tranche C-2 Closing Fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.

(c) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment for a given Tranche of Incremental Term Loans severally agrees, on the Incremental Term Loan Borrowing Date for such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, to make a term loan in Dollars (each, an “Incremental Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Loans”) to the Incremental Term Loan Borrower for such Tranche in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Loan Commitment for such Tranche. Except as hereinafter provided, Incremental Term Loans shall, at the option of the Incremental Term Loan Borrower for such Tranche, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, one or more Borrowings of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Once repaid, Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(d) Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than $5,000,000. More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any day, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than 20 Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans.

1.02 Notice of Borrowing. Whenever a Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of Loans hereunder, an Authorized Officer of such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior written (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) notice of each Base Rate Loan and at least three Business Days’ prior written (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be made hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day. Each such written notice or written confirmation of telephonic notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by or on behalf of the respective Borrower in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of Tranche B-2 Term Loans, Tranche C-2 Term Loans, U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans or Bermuda Borrower Incremental Term Loans and (iv) whether the Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof (determined in accordance with Section 1.07) and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

1.03 Disbursement of Funds. Not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender with a Commitment under the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 1.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the applicable Borrower at the Payment Office or such other location as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and specified in the relevant Notice of Borrowing the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to such time on such day (provided that on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date (i) the proceeds of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans shall be applied, first, to repay in full the Tranche B-1 Term Loans (as defined in this Agreement immediately prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 4) other than Converted Term Loans together with all accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans (including Converted Term Loans) and thereafter, shall be made available to the U.S. Borrower and (ii) the proceeds of the Tranche C-2 Term Loans shall be applied, first, to repay in full the Tranche C-1 Term Loans (as defined in this Agreement immediately prior to giving effect to Amendment No. 4) other than the Converted Term Loans together with all accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Tranche C-1 Term Loans (including Converted Term Loans) and thereafter, shall be made available to the Bermuda Borrower). Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower to pay immediately such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent and such Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the relevant Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate and (ii) if recovered from the relevant Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the relevant Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 1.08. Nothing in this Section 1.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which a Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

1.04 Notes.

(a) At the request of any Lender, the U.S. Borrower’s (in the case of Tranche B-2 Term Loans and U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans) or the Bermuda Borrower’s (in the case of Tranche C-2 Term Loans and Bermuda Borrower Incremental Term Loans) obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by such Lender shall be evidenced (i) in the case of Tranche B-2 Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the U.S. Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Tranche B-2 Term Note” and, collectively, the “Tranche B-2 Term Notes”), (ii) in the case of Tranche C-2 Term

---

Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Bermuda Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Tranche C-2 Term Note” and, collectively, the “Tranche C-2 Term Notes”) and (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower for such Tranche substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, an “Incremental Term Note” and, collectively, the “Incremental Term Notes”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof. Failure to make any such notation or any error in any such notation shall not affect either Borrower’s obligations in respect of any Loans.

1.05 Conversions. Each Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day occurring after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, all or a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 (and, if greater, in an integral multiple of $500,000) of the outstanding principal amount of Loans made to such Borrower pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans under a single Tranche into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type of Loan under such Tranche, provided that (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.09(b) or unless the respective Borrower pays all amounts owing pursuant to Section 1.10 concurrently with any such conversion, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Eurodollar Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than $5,000,000, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of conversion and (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 1.05 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section 1.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the applicable Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days’ prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Loans of such Borrower to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each applicable Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

1.06 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Tranche B-2 Term Loans, Tranche C-2 Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans of a given Tranche under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of such Lenders’ Additional Term B-2 Commitments, Additional Term C-2 Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

1.07 Interest.

(a) The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the case of Tranche B-2 Term Loans and U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans, in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans) and the Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the case of Tranche C-2 Term Loans and Bermuda Borrower Incremental Term Loans, in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans) interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.05, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Base Rate in effect from time to time during the period such Base Rate Loan is outstanding plus the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time.

(b) The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the case of Tranche B-2 Term Loans and U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans, in each case maintained as Eurodollar Loans) and the Bermuda Borrower hereby agrees to pay (in the case of Tranche C-2 Term Loans and Bermuda Borrower Incremental Term Loans, in each case maintained as Eurodollar Loans), interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan made to it from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.05, 1.08 or 1.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time.

(c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) 2% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans maintained pursuant to the respective Tranche (or, if the overdue amount owing does not relate to any specific Tranche, the rate otherwise applicable to Tranche B-2 Term Loans which are maintained as Base Rate Loans) from time to time and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans, in each case with such interest to be payable on demand.

(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period or Interest Periods and shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

1.08 Interest Periods. At the time a Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the respective Borrower shall have the right to elect, by having an Authorized Officer of such Borrower give the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower (but otherwise subject to the (x) proviso appearing in Section 1.01(a), (y) the proviso appearing in Section 1.01(b) and (z) clause (iii) of the proviso appearing in Section 1.05), be, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, a one-, two-, three- or six-month period or, to the extent agreed to by all Lenders required to make Loans under the respective Tranche, a nine- or twelve-month period (or, if required by the proviso appearing in either Section 1.01(a) or Section 1.01(b), a one-week period); provided that:

(i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

---

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period relating to a Eurodollar Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iv) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(v) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing under a given Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans;

(vi) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan may be selected at any time when a Default or Event of Default is then in existence; and

(vii) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Term Loans shall be elected which extends beyond any date upon which a Scheduled Repayment for the respective Tranche of Term Loans will be required to be made under Section 4.02(b) if, after giving effect to the election of such Interest Period, the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required Scheduled Repayment.

If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as applicable, has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans, in any such case effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

1.09 Increased Costs; Illegality; etc.

(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) at any time that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any Change in Law, such as, for example, but not limited to (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payments to a Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amounts payable

 

-6-

---

hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or net profits of such Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date affecting such Lender, the interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market (whether or not such Lender was a Lender at the time of such occurrence); or

(iii) at any time after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order (or would conflict with any governmental rule, regulation, guideline, request or order not having the force of law but with which such Lender customarily complies even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the applicable interbank market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the applicable Borrower, and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies any affected Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by either Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers, as the case may be, agrees to pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (with the written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, submitted to the respective Borrower or Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the foregoing to be, absent manifest error, final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the respective Borrower’s or Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.09(a) upon the subsequent submission of such notice) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.09(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that if it gives notice to either Borrower of any of the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, it shall promptly notify such Borrower and, in the case of any such Lender, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to exist.

(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.09(a)(ii) or (iii), the applicable Borrower may (and, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.09 (a)(iii), shall) either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 1.09 (a)(ii) or (iii), as the case may be, or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstance described in Section 1.09(a)(iii), shall occur on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or such earlier day as shall be required by applicable law).

(c) If any Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company would have achieved with respect to such Lender’s Loans but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower (with respect to the affected Loans of such Lender) will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.09(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the relevant Borrower (a copy of which shall be sent by such Lender to the Administrative Agent), which notice shall set forth such Lender’s basis for asserting its rights under this Section 1.09 (c) and the calculation, in reasonable detail, of such additional amounts claimed hereunder, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish either Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.09(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice. A Lender’s good faith determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.09(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto.

1.10 Compensation.

(a) Each Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated profit) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or any Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans of such Borrower does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the respective Borrower or Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.09(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 1.12 or 13.12(b)), conversion or permitted “realignment” of any of its Eurodollar Loans to such Borrower occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of the Eurodollar Loans to such Borrower is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrower or Borrowers; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by such Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 1.09(b) relating to Loans to such Borrower. Each Lender’s calculation of the amount of compensation owing pursuant to this Section 1.10 shall be made in good faith. A Lender’s basis for requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 1.10 and a Lender’s calculation of the amount thereof, shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

1.11 Change of Lending Office.

(a) Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Loans made by such Lender; provided that, for designations made

 

-8-

---

after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date (unless such designation is made after the occurrence of a Sharing Event as a result of any Lender’s purchase of participating interests in Loans pursuant to Section 1.13), to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 1.09 or 4.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then no Borrower shall be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although if such designation results in increased costs, each Borrower shall be obligated to pay the costs which would have applied in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, such lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).

(b) Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.09(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.09(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower by notice to such Lender, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any of the aforementioned Sections. Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of either Borrower or the rights of any Lender provided in Sections 1.09 and 4.04.

1.12 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.09(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.09(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to either Borrower increased costs materially in excess of the average costs being charged by the other Lenders in respect of such contingency or (z) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.12(b), the U.S. Borrower or the Bermuda Borrower, as the case may be, shall have the right, in accordance with the requirements of Section 13.04(b), if no Event of Default then exists or would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more Eligible Transferees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement and each of whom shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of a replacement as provided in Section 13.12(b) where the consent of the respective Lender is required with respect to less than all Tranches of its Loans or Commitments, at the option of the applicable Borrower, to replace only the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of such Lender in respect of each Tranche where the consent of such Lender would otherwise be individually required, with identical Commitments and/or Loans of the respective Tranche provided by the Replacement Lender; provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.12, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and all then outstanding Loans (or, in the case of the replacement of less than all the Tranches of Commitments and outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender, all the Commitments and/or all then outstanding Loans relating to the Tranche or Tranches with respect to which such Lender is being replaced) of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum (in the relevant currency or currencies)

 

-9-

---

of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all then outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender under each Tranche with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced, and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender (but only with respect to the relevant Tranche or Tranches, in the case of the replacement of less than all Tranches then held by the respective Replaced Lender) pursuant to Section 3.01; provided that the failure of any Replaced Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not affect the validity of any assignment pursuant to this Section 1.12; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrowers due and owing to the Replaced Lender in respect of each Tranche where such Replaced Lender is being replaced (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement (or, otherwise, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the Replaced Lender), the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.17 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender (when applicable) pursuant to Section 1.04(a), delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the applicable Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Loans or any Commitment hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.09, 1.10, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

1.13 Special Provisions Applicable to Lenders upon the Occurrence of a Sharing Event.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) (i) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Lenders shall purchase participations from other Lenders in each of the respective Tranches of Loans so that, after giving effect to such purchases, each Lender shall have the same credit exposure in each Tranche at such time, whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s Exchange Percentage thereof.

(ii) The foregoing actions pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i) shall be accomplished pursuant to this Section 1.13(b) through purchases and sales of participations in the various Tranches as required hereby, and at the request of the Administrative Agent each Lender hereby agrees to enter into customary participation agreements approved by the Administrative Agent to evidence the same. All purchases and sales of participations pursuant to this Section 1.13(b) shall be made in Dollars. At the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender which has sold participations in any of its Tranches as provided above (through the Administrative Agent) will deliver to each Lender (through the Administrative Agent) which has so purchased a participation therein a participation certificate in the appropriate amount as determined in conjunction with the Administrative Agent. It is understood that the amount of immediately available funds delivered by each Lender shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of participations by the various Lenders as required above.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) All determinations by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.13 shall be made by it in accordance with the provisions herein and with the intent being to equitably share the credit risk for all Tranches hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof. Absent manifest error, all determinations by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Borrowers and each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to either Borrower or any Lender for any determinations made by it hereunder except to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(e) Upon, and after, the occurrence of a Sharing Event (i) no further Credit Events shall be made or occur, and (ii) all Incremental Term Loan Commitments (if any) shall be automatically terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the failure of any Lender to purchase its participating interests as required above in any extensions of credit (upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interests in a timely manner, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other Lender on any date.

(f) If any amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to this Section 1.13 is not paid to the Administrative Agent on the date upon which the Sharing Event occurred, such Lender shall, in addition to such aforementioned amount, also pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount so required to be paid by such Lender for the purchase of its participations, (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate, during the period from and including the date of request for payment to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent and (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts payable under this Section 1.13 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to this Section 1.13 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders, provided that, if the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such other Lender the amounts owing to such other Lenders, then the amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(g) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Lenders have received from any other Lenders purchases of participations pursuant to this Section 1.13, the various Lenders receive any payment on account thereof, such Lenders will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the various Lenders participating therein, such Lenders’ participating interests in such amounts (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such participations were outstanding) in like funds as received, provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by any Lenders is required to be returned, the Lenders who received previous distributions in respect of their participating interests therein will return to the respective Lenders any portion thereof previously so distributed to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the respective Lenders.

(h) Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 1.13 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any other Lender, either Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of either Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by either Borrower, any Lender, any Agent or any other Person, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above, (i) the relevant Borrower shall pay to each Lender granting any participations as required above, for the account of the respective Lender which has purchased such participations, any increased costs and indemnities (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1.10, 1.11 and 4.04) to the same extent as if such Lender which has purchased such participations were the direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein, which increased costs shall be calculated without regard to Section 1.12, Section 13.04(a) or the penultimate sentence of Section 13.04(b) and (ii) each Lender which has sold such participations shall be entitled to receive from the relevant Borrower indemnification from and against any and all taxes imposed as a result of the sale of the participations pursuant to this Section 1.13. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after giving effect to the requirements of this Section 1.13, increased Taxes may be owing by it pursuant to Section 4.04, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 4.04) by the respective Borrower or Borrowers, without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 1.13.

1.14 Incremental Term Loan Commitments.

(a) Each Borrower shall have the right, in consultation and coordination with the Administrative Agent but without requiring the consent of any of the Lenders, to request, at any time and from time to time prior to the then latest Maturity Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Term Loan Commitments to such Borrower and, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and in the respective Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment as a result of any such request, (ii) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be made available to a single Incremental Term Loan Borrower and shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) the amount of each Tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000, (iv) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Term Loan Commitment Amount, (v) the up-front fees and, if applicable, any unutilized commitment fees and/or other fees payable in respect of each Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be separately agreed to by the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower and each Incremental Term Loan Lender (and with all such fees to be disclosed in writing by the respective Incremental Term Loan Borrower to the Administrative Agent), (vi) each Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall have (I) (x) an Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date of no earlier than the then latest Maturity Date as then in effect, and (y) a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of no less than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity as then in effect for the Tranche of then outstanding Loans with the longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity and (II) an “interest rate” or “interest rates” applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (which, for such purposes only, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and deemed to include all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the life of such Incremental Term Loans) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans, but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders providing such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans) that may (at such time or from time to time thereafter) exceed the “interest rates” applicable to the Term Loans; provided that, in the event that the “interest rate” excess applicable to such Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall at such time be greater than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin for the Tranche B-2 Term Loans, the Tranche C-2 Term Loans and each other then existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be increased by such amounts, and for such

time periods, as are needed so that at no time shall the “interest rate” for the respective new Tranche of Incremental Term Loans (calculated as described above) exceed the relevant interest rates applicable to the then existing Tranches of Term Loans by more than 0.50%, (vii) the proceeds of all Incremental Term Loans shall be used only for the purposes permitted by Section 7.05(a), (viii) each Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall specifically designate, with the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Tranche of the Incremental Term Loan Commitments being provided thereunder (which Tranche may be a new Tranche (i.e., not the same as any existing Tranche of Incremental Term Loans, Incremental Term Loan Commitments or other Term Loans) or an increase in a previously established Tranche), (ix) all Incremental Term Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the relevant Security Documents, and guaranteed under each relevant Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Loans of the applicable Borrower secured by each such Security Agreement and guaranteed under each such Guaranty, and (x) each Lender (including any Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) agreeing to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement shall, subject to the satisfaction of the relevant conditions set forth in this Agreement, make Incremental Term Loans under the Tranche specified in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement as provided in Section 1.01(c) and such Loans shall thereafter be deemed to be Incremental Term Loans under such Tranche for all purposes of this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.14, the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I (appropriately completed), with the effectiveness of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which all Incremental Term Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender as provided in Section 4.01 or 13.12(b) to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower may, subject to the applicable requirements of said Sections 4.01 and/or 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), terminate the Incremental Term Loan Commitments, if any, of such Lender.

-17-

---

remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective Tranche shall be proportionally increased (with the aggregate amount of increases to the then remaining Scheduled Repayments to equal the aggregate principal amount of such new Incremental Term Loans then being incurred).

(c) Not later than the fifth Business Day after the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale that is consummated after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02 (g) and (h); provided that Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale (other than (x) Net Sale Proceeds from any Contemplated Asset Sale and (y) for so long as such Principal Properties constitute Excluded Collateral, the proceeds from any sale of Principal Properties (other than one Principal Property) made in reliance on Section 9.02(xiv)) shall not give rise to a mandatory repayment on such date as otherwise required above, so long as no Specified Default and no Event of Default exists at the time such Net Sale Proceeds are received and an Authorized Officer of the U.S. Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used (or contractually committed to be used) to purchase capital assets used or to be used in a Permitted Business (other than inventory) within 360 days following the date of receipt of such Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale; provided, however, that (I) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not so used within such 360-day period (or contractually committed within such period to be used), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory repayment as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso) and (II) if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds are not required to be applied on the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso because such amount is contractually committed within such period to be used and then either (A) subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion being so used or (B) such contractually committed portion is not so used within six months after the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso, such remaining portion shall be applied as a mandatory repayment as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso).

(d) On each date on or after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date on which the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any incurrence of Indebtedness which is not permitted to be incurred by this Agreement, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(g) and (h).

-18-

---

the immediately preceding proviso) and (II) if all or any portion of such proceeds are not required to be applied on the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso because such amount is contractually committed to be used and then either (A) subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion being so used or (B) such contractually committed portion is not so used within six months after the last day of such 360-day period referred to in clause (I) of this proviso, such remaining portion, in the case of either of the preceding clauses (A) or (B), shall be applied as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment reduction as provided above (without giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso).

(f) On each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to the remainder (if positive) of (x) the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period minus (y) the aggregate amount of principal repayments of Loans made as a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof with internally generated funds during the relevant Excess Cash Flow Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(g) and (h).

(g) (I) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 4.02(c), (d), (e) and (f) in accordance with this Section 4.02(g) shall be applied, subject to the succeeding clause (IV), to repay the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans.

(II) Each amount required to be applied to repay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02(g) shall, subject to the succeeding clause (IV) and the immediately succeeding proviso, be applied pro rata to each Tranche of Term Loans (based upon the TL Repayment Percentages of the various Tranches of Term Loans and the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Tranches of Term Loans); provided that (i) an amount equal to the Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale effected by the U.S. Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries and proceeds from any Recovery Event with respect to the properties or assets of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries and, in each case, required to be applied to the repayment of Term Loans pursuant to clause (I) of this Section 4.02(g), shall be applied (x) first, to repay principal of outstanding Tranche B-2 Term Loans and U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans, if any (on a pro rata basis to each Tranche of U.S. Borrower Term Loans based on the then outstanding principal amount of the Tranche B-21 Term Loans and each such Tranche of U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans) and (y) second, after the repayment in full of all outstanding U.S. Borrower Term Loans, to repay principal of outstanding Tranche C-2 Term Loans and Bermuda Borrower Incremental Term Loans (on a pro rata basis to each such Tranche of Term Loans based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of such Tranches of Term Loans) and (ii) an amount equal to the Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale effected by any Foreign Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and the proceeds from any Recovery Event with respect to the properties or assets of any Foreign Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower and, in each case, required to be applied to the repayment of Term Loans pursuant to clause (I) of this Section 4.02(g) and an amount equal to the cash proceeds of any incurrence of Indebtedness required to be applied to the repayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 4.02(d), shall be applied to repay principal of outstanding Tranche C-2 Term Loans and Bermuda Borrower Incremental Term Loans (on a pro rata basis to each such Tranche of Term Loans based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of such Tranches of Term Loans); provided that if such Net Sale Proceeds or cash proceeds are in excess of the amount necessary to repay in full in full of all outstanding Bermuda Borrower Term Loans, such excess shall be retained by such Foreign Subsidiary and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Credit Party shall be required to make any prepayment of any Tranche B-2 Term Loans or U.S. Borrower Incremental Term Loans with such excess amount.

(III) All repayments of outstanding Term Loans of a given Tranche pursuant to Section 4.02(c), (d), (e) or (f) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of the respective

 

-19-

---

Tranche of Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based upon the then remaining principal amounts of the Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche of Term Loans after giving effect to all prior reductions thereto).

(IV) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.02, neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be obligated to apply any Net Sale Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.02(g) to the extent attributable to any Asset Sales of ABL Priority Collateral (including, in the case of an Asset Sale consisting of the sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock or equity interests in, any U.S. Credit Party, that portion of the proceeds determined in good faith by the U.S. Borrower to be attributable to the ABL Priority Collateral owned by such U.S. Credit Party at the time of the consummation of such Asset Sale) to the extent that such Net Sale Proceeds are required to be and are applied to the repayment of ABL Loans (or to the permanent reduction of any commitment under the ABL Credit Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement.

(h) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 4.02, the applicable Borrower may (subject to the requirements of the preceding Section 4.02(g)) designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made, provided that (i) in the case of repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, such repayments shall be accompanied by payment by the applicable Borrower of all amounts owing in connection therewith pursuant to Section 1.10 and (ii) each repayment of any Tranche of Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Tranche of Loans. In the absence of a designation by the applicable Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 1.10(a)

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, all outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date for such Loans.

(j) For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that none of Sections 4.02(c) through (f), inclusive, shall require that amounts received by any Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiaries be used to repay Obligations owed by any U.S. Credit Parties, or that the receipt of any such amount shall generate a requirement for such a repayment but that such Sections as formerly in effect merely determined the amounts required to be applied by the Borrowers to the repayment of their Obligations as more fully described in this Section 4.02.

4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time)) like funds relating to payment of principal, interest or Fees ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto. Any payments under this Agreement which are made later than 2:00 P.M. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

4.04 Net Payments.

(a) All payments made by any Credit Party under any Credit Document (including, in the case of a Borrower, in its capacity as a guarantor pursuant to Section 14) or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on or measured by the net income of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the respective Borrower (and any other Credit Party making the payment) agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the applicable Borrower (and any other Credit Party making the payment) shall be obligated to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for the net additional taxes (after taking into account available credits with respect to such withholding taxes) imposed on or measured by the net income of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence, the applicable Borrower (or Credit Party) will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date of the payment of any Taxes due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by such Borrower (or the respective other Credit Party). The Borrowers jointly and severally agree (and each Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to its respective Subsidiary Guaranty, and the incorporation by reference therein of the provisions of this Section 4.04, shall agree) to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.12 or 13.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio

 

-21-

---

interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to Section 13.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the U.S. Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable by the U.S. Borrower hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.04(b), the U.S. Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence (x) as a result of any changes after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date (or, if later, the date such Lender became party to this Agreement) in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar taxes or (y) as a result of the purchase of a participation as required by Section 1.13 following the occurrence of a Sharing Event.

Section 5. [Reserved].

Section 6. Conditions Precedent to All Credit Events. The obligation of each Lender to make Loans (including Loans made on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date) is subject, at the time of each such Credit Event (except as hereinafter indicated), to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

6.01 No Default; Representations and Warranties. At the time of each such Credit Event and immediately after giving effect thereto (i) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default and (ii) all representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Credit Document shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the date of such Credit Event (except that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date).

6.02 Notice of Borrowing. Prior to the making of each Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have received a Notice of Borrowing meeting the requirements of Section 1.02.

6.03 Incremental Term Loans. Prior to the incurrence of any Incremental Term Loans, the applicable Incremental Term Loan Borrower shall have satisfied (or caused to be satisfied) all of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.14.

The occurrence of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date and the acceptance of the benefits or proceeds of each Credit Event shall constitute a representation and warranty by each Borrower to each Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in Section 6 (with respect to Credit Events on and after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date) and applicable to such Credit Event (other than such conditions that are expressly subject to the satisfaction of the Agents and/or the Required Lenders) exist as of that time.

Section 7. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, to make (and/or continue) the Loans, as provided for herein, each Borrower makes the following representations, warranties and agreements with the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loans, (with the occurrence of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date and each Credit Event on or after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date being deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that the matters specified in this Section 7 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date and on and as of the date of each such Credit Event, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date):

Additionally, if any portion of any Mortgaged Property is at any time located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a Special Flood Hazard Area with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (as now or hereafter in effect or successor act thereto), then the Borrower shall (i) maintain, or cause to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Insurance Laws and (ii) deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The U.S. Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, at its own expense, take such further actions relating to the Collateral covered by any of the Security Documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require pursuant to this Section 8.11. Furthermore, the U.S. Borrower will cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to assure itself that this Section 8.11 has been complied with.

(b) The Borrowers shall take all actions so that, at all times from and after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, all the assets of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries located within the United States, all Equity Interests in all Domestic Subsidiaries or other U.S. Persons and all or substantially all of the business of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries conducted in the United States, are, in each case, owned or conducted, as the case may be, by the U.S. Borrower and one or more Domestic Subsidiaries which are not direct or indirect Subsidiaries of any Foreign Subsidiary of the U.S. Borrower, provided that if a Foreign Subsidiary (not itself created or established in contemplation of a Permitted Acquisition) is acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition which Foreign Subsidiary has (either directly or through one or more Domestic Subsidiaries) assets or operations in the United States, the U.S. Borrower shall have a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 60 days) to effect the transfer of U.S. assets and operations (including all Equity Interests in any Domestic Subsidiaries or other U.S. Persons held by it) of the respective Foreign Subsidiary to one or more Qualified U.S. Obligors, provided, further, that the respective transfer shall not be required to be made if the U.S. Borrower in good faith determines that such transfer would give rise to adverse tax consequences to the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries or would give rise to any material breach or violation of law or contract (in which case, the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall transfer such assets and operations at such time, if any, as such adverse tax consequences or breach or violation would not exist and, until such time, shall use good faith efforts so that any growth in the assets or operations of the foreign entity so acquired, to the extent located in the United States, are made within one or more Qualified U.S. Obligors).

Neither the U.S. Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the Company existence of either Borrower, any other Credit Party or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities

So long as the aggregate value of Margin Stock (other than treasury stock) owned by the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (determined as provided in the preceding sentence) does not exceed $10,000,000, all Margin Stock at any time owned by the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not constitute Collateral and no security interest shall be granted therein pursuant to any Credit Document.

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30-day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the U.S. Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the U.S. Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of any Agent pursuant to this Section 12.10, such Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as such Agent.

At the request of the Collateral Agent, each Secured Creditor shall provide the Collateral Agent with a separate written power of attorney (Spezialvollmacht) for the purposes of executing any relevant agreements and documents on their behalf.

The acceptance of an assignment by an assignee of a Secured Creditor shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the constitution of the Collateral Agent as the holder of such irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir). For greater certainty, by their acceptance of the benefits of the Canadian Security Agreement, each of the Other Creditors (as defined in the Canadian Security Agreement) shall be deemed to have confirmed and ratified the appointment of the Collateral Agent for purposes of the Bond and the Bond pledge agreement to be entered into by Dole Canada pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec.

Any indemnities pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in addition to any applicable indemnities hereunder.

12.17 Parallel Debt owed to the Collateral Agent

(a) Each of the Guarantors resident in the Federal Republic of Germany (the “German Guarantors”) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent as creditor in its own right and not as a representative of the Secured Creditors amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by that German Guarantor to any Secured Creditor under any Credit Document as and when those amounts are due for payment under the relevant Credit Document.

(b) Each German Guarantor and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that the obligations of each German Guarantor under paragraph a) are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of the German Guarantors to any Secured Creditor under any Credit Document (its “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each German Guarantor is liable under paragraph a) (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that:

(i) the Parallel Debt of each German Guarantor shall be decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and

(ii) the Corresponding Debt of each German Guarantor shall be decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged.

(c) The Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims in respect of the Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust. The German Security granted under the Credit Documents to the Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held on trust.

(d) All monies received or recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 12.17, and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any German Security granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

(ii) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Credit 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.

13.04 Benefit of Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, neither Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders and provided, further, that, although any Lender may (without the consent of any Credit Party) transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments or Loans hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except (I) to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note, in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default

increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment or of a mandatory repayment of Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by either Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Security Documents) supporting the Obligations in which such participant is participating and (II) that, solely in the case of a participant (each, a “Voting Participant”) which (x) has purchased a participation interest in such Lender’s Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans in a minimum aggregate amount (without duplication) of at least $2,000,000 on or after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date and (y) is (A) designated by such Lender to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent by written notice (a “Voting Participant Notice”) as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a “voting” participant hereunder, (B) approved by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (C) not a Disqualified Voting Participant, such participant shall be entitled to vote with respect to each Tranche in which it holds a participation from such Lender (and the voting rights of such Lender for each such Tranche shall be correspondingly reduced), on a Dollar basis, as if such participant were a Lender under such Tranche on any matter requiring or allowing such Lender to provide or withhold its consent or to otherwise vote on any proposed action (with any Voting Participant Notice, with respect to any Voting Participant, to be effective only if same (a) states the full legal name of such Voting Participant, as well as the relevant contact information and administrative details for such Voting Participant, and (b) states the Dollar amount of the participation interest in each Tranche purchased). In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; provided that a Voting Participant shall have the voting rights to which it is entitled as described in the preceding sentence.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its outstanding Term Loans hereunder to (i) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company, (ii) one or more Lenders or (iii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed by the same investment advisor of a Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such outstanding principal amount of Term Loans hereunder each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender upon compliance with the requirements set forth below. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), provided that (i) upon the request of the respective Lender and upon the surrender of the old Notes (if any), new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be, and (ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and is continuing, the U.S.

Borrower shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 13.04(b) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, provided, further, that such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.17. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and/or outstanding Term Loans, as the case may be. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b)(ii) to the extent such forms would provide a complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 1.12 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.09, 1.10 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or either Borrower, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee or to a collateral agent or to another creditor providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such Collateral Agent or a holder of, or any other representative of a holder of, such obligations, or such other creditor, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Credit Party and any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06 Payments Pro Rata.

(a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Obligations of such Credit Party, it shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.07 Calculations; Computations.

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the U.S. Borrower to the Lenders), provided that (i) if at any time any change in U.S. GAAP is reasonably likely to cause any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Credit Document to be violated or to impose additional obligations on the Borrowers, or to prevent any such violation or any such imposition absent such change, and either the U.S. Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in U.S. GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (x) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP prior to such change therein (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if such notice is provided following the last day of a Test Period but prior to the date the officer’s certificate required pursuant to Section 8.01(d) has been delivered for such Test Period, such notice shall be deemed to have been received on the last day of such Test Period) and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in U.S. GAAP, (ii) to the extent expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis and (iii) for purposes of determining compliance with any incurrence or expenditure tests set forth in Sections 8 and/or 9, any amounts so incurred or expended (to the extent incurred or expended in a currency other than Dollars) shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate Dollar limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or spent in currencies other than Dollars shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on Reuters ECB page 37 or, if same does not provide such exchange rates, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) as in effect on the date of any new incurrence or expenditures made under any provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time).

(b) All computations of interest and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable.

If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent shall cease to be available to act as such, each Borrower agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in New York City on the terms and for the purposes of this provision reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such Borrower, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such Borrower. Each Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower, as the case may be, at its address for notices pursuant to Section 13.03, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other Credit Document that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

(it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender), (t) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 as the same applies to the Administrative Agent or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, (u) without the consent of each Agent affected thereby, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 as same applies to such Agent or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of such Agent, (v) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent, (w) except in cases where additional extensions of term loans are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans pursuant to this Agreement as in effect on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, without the consent of the Majority Lenders of each Tranche which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction as a result of the actions described below, alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments (or commitment reduction), as between the various Tranches, pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 (although the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction, so long as the application, as amongst the various Tranches, of any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered), (x) without the consent of the Majority Lenders of the respective Tranche affected thereby, amend the definition of Majority Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Majority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date), (y) except in cases where additional extensions of credit are being afforded substantially the same treatment afforded to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.14 (as in effect on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date) and except for technical amendments which are consistent with the intent of the provisions of such Section and do not adversely affect the protections afforded to the Lenders pursuant to said Section, without the consent of the Majority Lenders of each Tranche adversely affected thereby, amend, modify or waive any provisions of Section 1.14 or (z) without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders of the respective affected Tranche, reduce the amount of or extend the date of, any Scheduled Repayment under such Tranche (except that, if additional Loans are made pursuant to a given Tranche, the Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche may be increased on a proportionate basis without the consent otherwise required by this clause (z)), or amend the definition of Supermajority Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Supermajority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Commitments are included on the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date).

first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the U.S. Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (or, at the option of the U.S. Borrower if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Tranches (or related Commitments), to replace only the respective Tranche or Tranches of Commitments (and related Obligations) and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 1.12 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate each Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such non-consenting Lender (if such Lender’s consent is required as a result of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment), and/or repay outstanding Obligations under each Tranche of such Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s consent, in accordance with Sections 3.01 and/or 4.01, provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans and other Obligations which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans and of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined as if the Commitments, Loans and related Obligations being terminated and/or repaid were not outstanding) shall specifically consent thereto, provided, further, that the U.S. Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans or other Obligations solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) above of this Section 13.12, the respective Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Loan Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.14, enter into an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, provided that after the execution and delivery by the respective Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Incremental Term Loan Lender of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement, such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) above of this Section 13.12.

(d) For purposes of Section 13.12(a), (i) a Voting Participant shall be deemed to be a “Lender” holding the portion of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or outstanding Term Loans of a given Tranche of any Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) in which it purchased a participation (and to have the voting rights of such Lender for the respective such Tranche) and (ii) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) which has sold a participation in a portion of its Incremental Term Loan Commitment and/or outstanding Term Loans of any Tranche to a Voting Participant shall be deemed to hold an Incremental Term Loan Commitment or outstanding Term Loans of the respective Tranche, as the case may be, in each case, as reduced by the amount of the participations therein sold to a Voting Participant.

13.14 Domicile of Loans and Commitments. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans and/or Commitments at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 1.09, 1.10 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

13.15 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of either Borrower (other than to its directors, employees, auditors, counsel or other professional advisors, to affiliates or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information) any information with respect to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement; provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate (x) in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors or (y) in connection with any request or requirement of any such regulatory body, (c) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder and (f) to any creditor or any prospective transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Obligations or any interest therein by such Lender; provided that such creditor or prospective transferee or participant agrees to be bound by this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates or its investment advisors any information related to the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of such entities), provided that such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.15 to the same extent as such Lender and shall only use such information in connection with matters relating to this Agreement.

(b) Each Borrower hereby represents and acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge, neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any employees or agents of, or other persons affiliated with, any Agent or any Lender, have directly or indirectly made or provided any statement (oral or written) to such Borrower or to any of its employees or agents, or other persons affiliated with or related to such Borrower (or, so far as such Borrower is aware, to any other person), as to the potential tax consequences of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Neither the Agents nor the Lenders provide accounting, tax or legal advice. Notwithstanding any express or implied claims of exclusivity or proprietary rights, each Borrower, each Agent and each Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that each Borrower, each Agent and each Lender (and each of their employees, representatives or other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, beginning immediately upon commencement of their discussions and without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to either Borrower any Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

each Lender acknowledge and agree that the disclosure of the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby is not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding). For purposes of this authorization, “tax” means United States Federal income tax, “tax treatment” means the purported or claimed Federal income tax treatment of the transaction, and “tax structure” means any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed Federal income tax treatment of the transaction. This paragraph is intended to reflect the understanding of each Borrower, each Agent and each Lender that the transactions contemplated hereby are not “confidential transactions” as that phrase is used in Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-4(b)(3)(i), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. Nothing herein is intended to imply that any of each Borrower, each Agent and each Lender made or provided a statement, oral or written, to, or for the benefit of, any of each other as to any potential tax consequences that are related to, or may result from, the transactions contemplated hereby.

13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

13.17 Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.17, to maintain a register at one of its offices in New York, New York (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and/or Loans prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and/or Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of an assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and/or Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Commitment and/or Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Commitment and/or Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The registration of any provision of Incremental Term Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 1.15 shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance of the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement for acceptance and registration of the provision of an Incremental Term Loan Commitment, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to the extent requested by such Incremental Term Loan Lenders, Incremental Term Notes shall be issued, at the respective Borrower’s expense, to such Incremental Term Loan Lenders, to be in conformity with Section 1.05 (with appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect the Incremental Term Loan Commitments and outstanding Incremental Term Loans made by such Incremental Term Loan Lender. The Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature that may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.17.

13.18 English Language. This Agreement and all other Credit Documents shall be in the English language, except as required by applicable local law and, with respect to each of the Security Documents governed by the laws of Italy or otherwise related to Collateral located in Italy, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require (in which event certified English translations thereof shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, be provided by the U.S. Borrower to the Administrative Agent). All documents, certificates, reports or notices to be delivered or communications to be given or made by any party hereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be in the English language or, if originally written in another language, shall, upon request of the Administrative Agent, be accompanied by an accurate English translation upon which the other parties hereto shall have the right to rely for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

13.19 Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in Qualified Jurisdictions; Special Provisions Regarding Foreign Security Documents and Secured Hedge Counterparties.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties require that, among other things, all promissory notes executed by, and Equity Interests in, various Persons owned by the respective Credit Party (to the extent not constituting Excluded Collateral) be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that each Credit Party shall be required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Credit Party is organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents and to take all actions under the laws of each Qualified Jurisdiction to perfect the security interests in the Equity Interests of, and promissory notes issued by, any Person organized under the laws of said jurisdictions (in each case, to the extent such Equity Interests or promissory notes are owned by any Credit Party and do not constitute Excluded Collateral). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, to the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or Equity Interests in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than those specified in the immediately preceding sentence, it is acknowledged that, as of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose Equity Interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The Borrowers hereby agree that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to do so, each Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including, without limitation, the execution of Additional Security Documents, the making of any filings and the delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are determined by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be necessary or desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions. If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 13.19(a), all such actions shall be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.19(a) and Section 8.11 and within the time periods set forth therein. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law (but only with respect to Equity Interests in, and promissory notes issued by, Persons organized under laws of jurisdictions other than Qualified Jurisdictions) not required to be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.19(a), provided that to the extent any representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the respective representation of warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19(a) or pursuant to Section 8.11.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that certain Foreign Security Documents executed and delivered by the Credit Parties on or prior to the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date secure, inter alia, obligations of any Lender (or any affiliate of a Lender) which is a counterparty to certain Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements (as further provided in each such Foreign Security Document) and that it is the parties intent that each such Foreign Security Document shall be amended, as provided in Article III of the Foreign Subsidiaries Guaranty Acknowledgement and/or Amendment, such that (after giving effect to such amendment) the foregoing secured counterparties shall be amended to include the Secured Hedge Counterparties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that, as of the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date, no other amendments, modifications or supplements to the foregoing Foreign Security Documents under the laws of any jurisdiction to effect the intent in the foregoing sentence have occurred. The Borrowers hereby agree that, within 90 days after the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent), each Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions (including, without limitation, amending, modifying or supplementing each such Foreign Security Document and the delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are determined by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be necessary or desirable in order to effect the foregoing amendments to each such Foreign Security Document. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under local law not required to be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.19(b), provided that to the extent any representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the respective representation of warranties shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19(b) or pursuant to Section 8.11.

13.20 Powers of Attorney; etc. The U.S. Borrower is hereby authorized by, and on behalf of, the Bermuda Borrower to give Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion and other notices and directions in connection with the extensions of credit and repayments thereof to be made pursuant to this Agreement to the Bermuda Borrower (including without limitation notices as to the application of proceeds of such extensions of credit). The Bermuda Borrower hereby grants to the U.S. Borrower and the U.S. Borrower an irrevocable power-of attorney, in the Bermuda Borrower’s name, to take the actions contemplated above in this Section 13.20 and in the last sentence of Section 1.13 hereof. Furthermore, the Bermuda Borrower agrees that the Agents and the Lenders may at any time rely upon any notices, instructions or other information furnished by the U.S. Borrower.

13.21 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. Each of the Borrowers, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that such Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States, any other Qualified Jurisdiction or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Credit Document or any other liability or obligation of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, such Borrower, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agrees not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States, any other Qualified Jurisdiction, or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower further agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section 13.21 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

13.22 Judgment Currency.

(a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by any Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Dollar Equivalent thereof, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section 13.22, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

13.23 Special Acknowledgments. By their execution and delivery hereof, the Lenders party hereto hereby acknowledge (i) that the guarantee of each Bermuda Partnership Partner made pursuant to the U.S. Subsidiaries Guaranty is limited to the Obligations of the U.S. Borrower under the Credit Documents and the obligations of the U.S. Borrower and its Domestic Subsidiaries under Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements with Secured Hedge Counterparties, all on the terms as more specifically provided therein, (ii) the Bermuda Partnership has not entered into any Credit Documents and, as such, is not a Credit Party (but is otherwise subject to the provisions of Sections 9.01(b) and (c)) and (iii) the obligations secured pursuant to the Security Documents are not secured by any Excluded Collateral.

13.24 Special Provisions Relating to Amendment and Restatement.

(iv) (a) the provisions of the Original Credit Agreement, to the extent restated, renewed, extended, consolidated, amended and modified hereby, are hereby superseded and replaced by the provisions hereof; (b) the Notes restate, renew, extend, consolidate, amend, modify, replace, are substituted for and supersede, but do not extinguish, the Obligations (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) evidenced by the Notes (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) issued pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement; and (c) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance by the Borrowers of their respective obligations hereunder, shall not constitute a novation.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Act.

Section 14. Borrower Guaranty.

14.01 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and to induce the Secured Hedge Counterparties to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each Borrower from the proceeds of the Loans, the entering into of Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, each Borrower hereby agrees with the Lenders and the Secured Hedge Counterparties as follows: each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. For the avoidance of doubt, the “Relevant Guaranteed Obligations” of the U.S. Borrower include, without limitation, all Obligations of the Bermuda Borrower under this Agreement and such Obligations. If any or all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of either Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, each Borrower unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. This Borrower Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This Borrower Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any

 

-125-

---

judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Relevant Guaranteed Party), then and in such event the respective Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Credit Party, notwithstanding any revocation of this Borrower Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, and each Borrower shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

14.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, each Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Relevant Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 10.05, and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand.

14.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of each Borrower hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by such Borrower, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each Borrower hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Relevant Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Relevant Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 14.05, or (g) the lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other instrument relating thereto.

14.04 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense to this Borrower Guaranty, and this Borrower Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense available to, a surety or guarantor except indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder are independent of the obligations of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against either Borrower whether or not action is brought against any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party and whether or not any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party be joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Relevant Guaranteed Party or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Relevant Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the relevant Borrower.

 

-126-

---

14.05 Authorization. Each Borrower authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Borrower Guaranty shall apply to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, increased or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset there against;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Relevant Guaranteed Party or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Relevant Guaranteed Party to their respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Relevant Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Relevant Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h) take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense available to, such Borrower from its liabilities under this Borrower Guaranty.

14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Relevant Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

14.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of any Relevant Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to any Borrower is hereby subordinated to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such Relevant Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Relevant Guaranteed Party to such Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower in trust for the benefit

 

-127-

---

of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such Relevant Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of either Borrower under the other provisions of this Borrower Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by either Borrower of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of any Relevant Guaranteed Party to such Borrower, such Borrower shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

14.08 Waiver.

(a) Each Borrower waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any other Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Borrower waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Borrower against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

Each Borrower waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Borrower Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. Each Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Relevant Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise any Borrower of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(b) Until such time as the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, each Borrower hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Borrower Guaranty.

 

-128-

---

(c) Each U.S. Credit Party hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, such U.S. Credit Party shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such U.S. Credit Party’s or any Guaranteed Creditor’s right to proceed against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, each U.S. Credit Party hereby waives:

(i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to such U.S. Credit Party by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;

(ii) all rights and defenses that such U.S. Credit Party may have because the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from such U.S. Credit Party without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Credit Party, and (B) if the Guaranteed Creditors foreclose on any Real Property collateral pledged by any Credit Party, (1) the amount of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Guaranteed Creditors may collect from such U.S. Credit Party even if the Guaranteed Creditors, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, have destroyed any right such U.S. Credit Party may have to collect from any Relevant Guaranteed Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such U.S. Credit Party may have because the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure); and

(iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed such U.S. Credit Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Relevant Guaranteed Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(d) Each Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law of public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14.09 Payments. All payments made by either Borrower pursuant to this Section 14 shall be made in the respective Applicable Currency in which the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable (giving effect, in the circumstances contemplated by Section 1.14, to any conversion occurring pursuant thereto). All payments made by either Borrower pursuant to this Section 14 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 13.22.

---

Exhibit E-2

Page 3

 

b) The restrictions in this Clause III. shall not apply to the extent the German Guarantor secures any indebtedness under any Credit Documents in respect of (i) loans to the extent they are on-lent or otherwise (directly or indirectly) passed on to the relevant German Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on-lent or otherwise passed on is not repaid or (ii) bank guarantees or letters of credit that are issued for the benefit of any of the creditors of the German Guarantor or the German Guarantor’s Subsidiaries or any other benefit granted under this Agreement.

1. Restrictions on Payment

a) The parties to this Agreement agree that if payment under the Guarantee would cause the amount of a German Guarantor’s net assets, as calculated pursuant to Clause III.2 (Net Assets) below, to fall below the amount of its registered share capital (Stammkapital) or increase an existing shortage of its registered share capital in each case in violation of section 30 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (“GmbHG”), (such event is hereinafter referred to as a “Capital Impairment”), then the Secured Creditors shall, subject to paragraphs b) to c) below, demand payment under the Guarantee from such German Guarantor only to the extent such Capital Impairment would not occur.

b) If the relevant German Guarantor does not notify the Collateral Agent in writing (the “Management Notification”) within five (5) Business Days after the Collateral Agent notified such German Guarantor of its intention to demand payment under the Guarantee that a Capital Impairment would occur (setting out in reasonable detail to what extent a Capital Impairment would occur and providing prima facie evidence that a realisation or other measures undertaken in accordance with the mitigation provisions set out in Clause III.3 (Mitigation) below would not prevent such Capital Impairment), then the restrictions set out in paragraph a) above shall not apply.

c) If the relevant German Guarantor does not provide an Auditors’ Determination (as defined in Clause III.4 (Auditors’ Determination) below) within sixty (60) Business Days from the date on which the Collateral Agent received the Management Notification then the restrictions set out in paragraph a) above shall not apply and the Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to assign or make available to the German Guarantor any net proceeds realised.

2. Net Assets

The calculation of net assets (the “Net Assets”) shall only take into account the sum of the values of the assets of the relevant German Guarantor determined in accordance with applicable law and court decisions and, if there is no positive going concern (positive Fortführungsprognose) based on the lower of book value (Buchwert) and liquidation value (Liquidationswert) (consisting of all assets which correspond to those items listed in section 266 subsection (2) A, B and C of the German Company Code (“HGB”) less the relevant German Guarantor’s liabilities (consisting of all liabilities and liability reserves which correspond to those items listed in accordance with section 266 subsection (3) B, C and D HGB).

---

Exhibit E-2

Page 4

 

For the purposes of calculating the Net Assets, the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows :

a) the amount of any increase in the registered share capital of the relevant German Guarantor which was carried out after the relevant German Guarantor became a party to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent shall be deducted from the amount of the registered share capital of the relevant German Guarantor;

b) any funds borrowed by any Borrower under this Agreement which have been or are on-lent or otherwise passed on to the relevant German Guarantor or to any Subsidiary of such German Guarantor and have not yet been repaid at the time when payment under the Guarantee is demanded, shall be disregarded;

c) loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the relevant German Guarantor in breach of the Transaction Documents shall not be taken into account as liabilities.

3. Mitigation

a) The relevant German Guarantor shall realise, to the extent legally permitted in a situation where it does not have sufficient Net Assets to maintain its registered share capital, all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets.

b) The limitations on demanding payment under this Guarantee set out in this Clause III shall not apply if and to the extent that the relevant German Guarantor is legally permitted to take measures (including, without limitation, setting-off claims) to avoid demanding payment under the Guarantee causing a Capital Impairment of the relevant German Guarantor provided that it is commercially justifiable to take such measures.

4. Auditors’ Determination

a) If the relevant German Guarantor claims that a Capital Impairment would occur on payment under this Guarantee, the German Guarantor may (at its own cost and expense) arrange for the preparation of a balance sheet by a firm of recognised auditors (the “Auditors”) in order to have such Auditors determine whether (and if so, to what extent) any payment under this Guarantee would cause a Capital Impairment (the “Auditors’ Determination”).

b) The Auditors’ Determination shall be prepared, taking into account the adjustments set out in Clause III.2 (Net Assets) above, by applying the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung) based on the same principles and evaluation methods as constantly applied by the relevant German Guarantor in the preparation of its financial statements, in particular in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet, and taking into consideration applicable court rulings of German courts. Subject to Clause III.6 (No waiver) below, such Auditors’ Determination shall be binding on the relevant German Guarantor and the Collateral Agent.

c) Even if the relevant German Guarantor arranges for the preparation of an Auditors’ Determination, the relevant German Guarantor’s obligations under the mitigation provisions set out in Clause III.3 (Mitigation) above shall continue to exist.

If, after it has been provided with an Auditors’ Determination which prevented it from demanding any or only partial payment under this Guarantee, the Collateral Agent ascertains in good faith that the financial condition of the relevant German Guarantor as set out in the Auditors’ Determination has substantially improved (in particular, if the relevant German Guarantor has taken any action in accordance with the mitigation provisions set out in Clause III.3 (Mitigation) above), the Collateral Agent may, at the relevant German Guarantor’s cost and expense, arrange for the preparation of an updated balance sheet of the relevant German Guarantor by applying the same principles that were used for the preparation of the Auditors’ Determination by the Auditors who prepared the Auditors’ Determination pursuant to paragraph a) of Clause III.4 (Auditors’ Determination) above in order for such Auditors to determine whether (and, if so, to what extent) the Capital Impairment has been cured as a result of the improvement of the financial condition of the relevant German Guarantor. The Collateral Agent may demand payment under this Guarantee to the extent that the Auditors determine that the Capital Impairment has been cured.

6. No waiver

Nothing in this Clause III shall limit the enforceability, legality or validity of this Guarantee nor shall it prevent the Collateral Agent from claiming in court that the provision of this Guarantee by and/or demanding payment under this Guarantee against the relevant German Guarantor does not fall within the scope of section 30 of the GmbHG. The Collateral Agent’s rights to any remedies it may have against the relevant German Guarantor shall not be limited if it is ascertained that section 30 of the GmbHG did not apply. The agreement of the Collateral Agent to abstain from demanding any or part of the payment under this Guarantee in accordance with the provisions above shall not constitute a waiver (Verzicht) of any right granted under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Creditor.

7. GmbH & Co KG.

The aforementioned provisions shall apply to a limited partnership with a limited liability company as its general partner (GmbH & Co. KG) mutatis mutandis and all references to net assets shall be construed as a reference to the aggregated net assets of the general partner and the limited partnership.

IV. Miscellaneous.
