(iii) whether the Loans are to be ABR Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, and

(iv) in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the time of the Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

date, amount, type and maturity of the Loan made by it to the Borrower and the date and amount of each payment of principal made with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan to the Borrower then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to so endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of such Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

(d) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Loan (or, if the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans for such day).

(e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the participating Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.07. Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank ratably in accordance with its Applicable Percentage an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to 0.125%.

Initial Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Bank of its receipt of each such notice. Once reduced pursuant to this Section 2.09(b), the Aggregate Commitments may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be made ratably among the Banks in accordance with their Applicable Percentage.

Section 2.10. Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may (1) upon same day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any ABR Borrowing and (2) upon at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Euro-Dollar Borrowing, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $25,000,000 or any larger multiple of $5,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share of such prepayment.

(b) Upon receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the Closing Date, of Net Cash Proceeds arising from any Debt Issuance, Equity Issuance, Asset Sale or Recovery Event, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within two Domestic Business Days) notify the Administrative Agent thereof and within three Domestic Business Days of such receipt, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds. Upon receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share of such prepayment.

but prior to the Closing Date less the aggregate amount of reductions in the Aggregate Commitments made pursuant to Section 2.08 prior to the Closing Date following the receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of such Net Cash Proceeds. Upon receipt of such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share of such prepayment.

(d) Prior to any prepayment of Loans under this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall specify the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid (or, if no such specification shall have been provided, the Administrative Agent shall apply such prepayment first to ABR Loans and second to Euro-Dollar Loans, in direct order of next succeeding interest payment date thereafter).

(e) Each prepayment under this Section 2.10 shall (i) be paid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and (ii) be applied on a ratable basis to each Bank in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. In connection with any such prepayment of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period, the Borrower shall reimburse the Banks for funding losses as provided in Section 2.13.

Section 2.11. Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Euro-Dollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two Domestic Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election; provided that any such conversion of Euro-Dollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof.

(b) Any Euro-Dollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.01, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Euro-Dollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Banks have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof.

Section 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, without deduction, set-off, defense, recoupment or counterclaim, not later than 12:00 Noon (Eastern time (standard or daylight, as applicable)) on the date when due, in federal or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 10.01. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the ABR Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day, unless such Domestic Business Day occurs after the Maturity Date, in which case the date for payment then shall be the immediately preceding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, or occurs after the Maturity Date, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the immediately preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due from the Borrower to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.13. Funding Losses. If (i) the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan (pursuant to Section 2.10, Article 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the Borrower fails to borrow any Euro-Dollar Loan after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.03(a) or fails to prepay in accordance with a notice of prepayment under Section 2.10(a) or (iii) the Borrower requires a Bank to assign its rights with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan to a Substitute Bank pursuant to Section 8.06 on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment, failure to borrow or required assignment; provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss or expense and showing in

reasonable detail how such amount was calculated, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.14. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.15. Regulation D Compensation. Each Bank may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on Euro-Dollar Loans made to the Borrower, additional interest on the relevant Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank to the Borrower at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Bank to the Borrower shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on Euro-Dollar Loans made to the Borrower, of the amount then due to such Bank under this Section 2.15. Each Bank confirms that, as of the date hereof, the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage is zero.

Section 2.16. Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from the Borrower hereunder or under any of the Notes in United States dollars (“dollars”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase dollars with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s office on the Domestic Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than dollars, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Domestic Business Day following receipt by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase dollars with such other currency. If the amount of dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in dollars, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of dollars so purchased exceeds the sum of (a) the amount originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and (b) any amounts shared with other Banks as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate

payment to such Bank under Section 10.05, such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.

Section 2.17. Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank: (a) Unused Commitment Fees payable to such Defaulting Bank under Section 2.07(a) shall cease to accrue; and (b) any amount payable to such Defaulting Bank hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 10.05 but excluding Section 8.06) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, be applied by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of the Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement and (iii) third, to such Defaulting Bank.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CREDIT PARTIES

Initial Borrower and each Effective Date Guarantor represent and warrant that, as of the Effective Date (except with respect to representations and warranties expressly stated to be made as of the Closing Date), and each Credit Party represents and warrants that, as of the Closing Date (it being understood and agreed that the representations and warranties as of the Closing Date shall be made with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries, including the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Target Group):

Section 4.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement (including, after giving effect to the Joinder Agreements on the Closing Date) constitutes such Credit Party’s valid and binding agreement and the Notes, when executed and delivered in accordance with this

Agreement, will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

Section 4.04. Financial Information; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP and set forth in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K Report, a copy of which has been delivered to each of the Banks, fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year.

(e) Since December 31, 2011, there has been no material adverse change in the business, financial position, results of operations or prospects of Parent and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Transactions), considered as a whole

(a “Material Adverse Change”). The parties hereto agree that the changes disclosed to the Banks in an Information Document or in the Transaction Agreement, in each case delivered on or prior to the Effective Date, do not in themselves constitute a Material Adverse Change and will not be taken into account in determining whether any Material Adverse Change has occurred.

Section 4.05. Litigation. Other than the Disclosed Litigation, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which would have a Material Adverse Effect or an adverse effect on the rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Banks under this Agreement or the Notes or which in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement or the Notes.

Section 4.06. Compliance with ERISA. As of the Closing Date, each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan, except to the extent that non-fulfillment or non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The members of the ERISA Group have not (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, except for waivers of amounts not exceeding $75,000,000 in the aggregate, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multi-Employer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code to secure a liability in excess of $75,000,000 or (iii) incurred any liability in excess of $75,000,000 under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA, (iv) incurred one or more Reportable Events which is reasonably likely to result in a liability to the ERISA Group, in the aggregate, in excess of $75,000,000 or (v) incurred one or more Non-U.S. Benefit Events which is reasonably likely to result in an aggregate liability of Parent and its Subsidiaries in excess of $75,000,000. No Unfunded Liabilities exist under any Plan or Plans that in the aggregate would be likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.07. Environmental Matters. As of the Closing Date, Parent or its applicable Subsidiaries regularly review those contingencies known to it with respect to which there is a reasonable possibility that Environmental Laws may have a foreseeable adverse effect on the business, operations and properties of Parent and such Subsidiaries. In the course of such reviews, Parent or its applicable Subsidiaries identify and evaluate, to the extent reasonably feasible, any associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, related constraints on operating activities,

including, the periodic or permanent shutdown of a facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat, costs or liabilities in connection with off-site disposal of wastes or Hazardous Substances, and actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and related costs and expenses). On the basis of such reviews, Parent or its applicable Subsidiaries have reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect other than as disclosed in an Information Document.

Section 4.08. Taxes. Except as disclosed in the 2011 Form 10-Ks or in the 2012 Form 10-Qs, (i) United States federal income tax returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been examined and closed through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, (ii) Parent and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due, (iii) no tax assessment or penalty has been imposed on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except any assessment that is being contested by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (iv) the charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Parent and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

Section 4.09. Subsidiaries. All of Parent’s Subsidiaries (except Insignificant Subsidiaries) are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, where applicable, under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, and have all organizational powers and all Material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on their respective businesses as now conducted.

Section 4.11. Full Disclosure. The information set forth in the Information Documents and the Press Release was true and accurate in all Material respects on the date as of which such information was stated or certified; provided that with respect to any statements, estimates or projections with respect to the future performance of Parent and its Subsidiaries included in the Information Documents, the Borrower represents only that such statements, estimates or projections have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable on the date any such statements, estimates or projections were prepared and furnished.

The

Credit Parties have disclosed to the Banks in writing any and all facts which have a Material Adverse Effect (or with respect to which, in the Borrower’s good-faith opinion, a reasonable possibility exists that they may have a Material Adverse Effect).

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 7.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as administrative agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as expressly provided in Section 7.07, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and no Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

Section 7.02. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. (a) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

(b) Each Bank understands that the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) is engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 7.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of Parent or its Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including Parent and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in Parent or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or

derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of Parent or its Affiliates. Each Bank understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning Parent or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of a Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to any of the Banks that are not members of the Agent’s Group. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Bank or use on behalf of the Banks, nor be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Parent or any Affiliate of Parent) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Bank such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Banks.

(c) Each Bank further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including Parent and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Banks (including the interests of the Banks hereunder and under the other Loan Documents). Each Bank agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as the Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Bank. None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including Information) concerning Parent or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of a Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) or (iii) any other matter, shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Bank including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including Parent or its Affiliates) or for its own account.

Section 7.03. Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Majority Banks (or, as applicable, the Required Banks or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks (or, as applicable, the Required Banks or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents, including Sections 6.01 or 10.06) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or of the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until the Borrower or any Bank shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default and such event or events.

(c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Information Documents, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Bank and each Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent that such Bank is solely responsible for any such checks such Bank is required to carry out and that such Bank may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 7.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent; Consultation with Experts; Delegation of Duties. (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by the Administrative Agent to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by the Administrative Agent to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Loans that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Loans and, in the case of the

Borrowing, such Bank shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.

(b) The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

(c) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its Related Parties. Each such sub agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 7 and Section 10.04 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 7.05. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any of its sub-agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated or are no longer in effect, ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Banks), for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind and nature whatsoever (including without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that the Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 10.04, but excluding, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any such other documents; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint, and the failure of any Bank to make any payment hereunder on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to so make its payment hereunder.

Section 7.06. Credit Decision. (a) Each Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent, each other Bank and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making its Loans hereunder and (z) taking or not taking

actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making its Loans hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is suitable and appropriate for it.

(b) Each Bank acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate.

Section 7.07. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Bank Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Banks, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Bank Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, which effective date shall be no earlier than three Domestic Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time as the Majority Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, remedies, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder or

under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 7 and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 7.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers or Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or as a Bank hereunder.

ARTICLE 8

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Banks that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to such Banks in the relevant market for such principal amount and Interest Period; or

(b) Banks having 50% or more of the Aggregate Commitments advise the Administrative Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate, as determined by the Administrative Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period;

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 8.02. Illegality. If, on or after the Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such

authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans to the Borrower and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the relevant Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans to the Borrower shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding, Euro-Dollar Loans to the Borrower to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Euro-Dollar Loan, together with accrued interest thereon. Concurrently with prepaying each such Euro-Dollar Loan, the Borrower shall borrow an ABR Loan in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such an ABR Loan.

Section 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after the Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (each, a “Change in Law”) shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan, any such requirement with respect to which such Bank is entitled to compensation during the relevant Interest Period under Section 2.13), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office), (ii) impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans or (iii) subject any Recipient to any present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings (other than (A) Taxes, (B) Other Taxes and (C) taxes excluded from the definition of Taxes by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 8.04(a) or clause (iii) of Section 8.04(d)) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Loan to the Borrower, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to be

delivered to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent Bank) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent Bank) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to be delivered to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent Bank) for such reduction.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.03 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 8.03 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law becoming effective after the Effective Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Section 8.04. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Credit Party to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, (i) in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes and branch profits taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the

case may be) is organized or in which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) has its principal office or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise, branch profits or similar taxes imposed on it, in each case by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) Connection Income Taxes and (iii) United States withholding tax imposed as a result of FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities with respect thereto imposed on or with respect to any payment under any Loan Document, “Taxes”). If any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions, (iii) the Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) after any payment of Taxes by the Credit Party to a taxation authority or other authority pursuant to this Section 8.04(a), the Credit Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Credit Parties agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.04) paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor, setting forth a complete explanation and calculation thereof. If any such indemnification is made, such Bank will, at the Borrower’s reasonable request and expense, contest such Taxes and Other Taxes in good faith; provided that such Bank shall not be required to continue any such contest if in the opinion of its counsel there is both (i) a reasonable doubt that such contest will be successful and (ii) a reasonable possibility that the continuation thereof will adversely affect the resolution of other tax issues affecting such Bank. If any such contest is successful, such Bank will remit to the Borrower the amount recovered (but not more than the amount of the indemnification paid by the Borrower).

(d) (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested

by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing.

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

(B) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

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

(3) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law

(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(iii) “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a) shall not include United States withholding tax with respect to interest (A) at the rate indicated on the forms provided by a Bank pursuant to this Section 8.04(d) at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement or changes the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office or (B) in the case of a Bank that does not provide forms pursuant to this Section 8.04(d), at the rate applicable to such Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement or changes the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office; provided, however, that if at the time of an assignment pursuant to which a Bank assignee becomes a party to this Agreement or at the time a Bank changes its Applicable Lending Office, the Bank assignor or such Bank (as the case may be) was entitled to payments under Section 8.04(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term “Taxes” shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States interest withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Bank assignee or such Bank (as the case may be) on such date.

(e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(a) or Section 8.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed as a result of that failure; provided that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this

Section 8.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxation authority or other authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxation authority or other authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such taxation authority or other authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any information related to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.04, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

Section 8.05. ABR Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans to the Borrower has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 from the Borrower with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section 8.05 shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

(a) the Loan of such Bank to the Borrower which would otherwise be made by such Bank as a Euro-Dollar Loan shall be made instead as an ABR Loan (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and

(b) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans to the Borrower has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its ABR Loans instead.

Section 8.06. Substitution of Bank. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02, (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, or (iii) if any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, the Borrower shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent,

to seek a mutually satisfactory substitute bank or banks (“Substitute Banks”) (which may be one or more of the Banks) to purchase the Loans and assume the Commitment of such Bank (the “Exiting Bank”). The Exiting Bank shall, upon reasonable notice and payment to it of the purchase price agreed between it and the Substitute Bank or Banks (or, failing such agreement, a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and interest accrued thereon to but excluding the date of payment), assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes (including its Commitment) to the Substitute Bank or Banks, and the Substitute Bank or Banks shall assume such rights and obligations, in accordance with Section 10.07. In connection with any such sale, the Borrower shall compensate the Exiting Bank for any funding losses as provided in Section 2.13 and the Borrower shall pay to the Exiting Bank its facility fee accrued to but excluding the date of such sale.

ARTICLE 9

GUARANTY

Section 9.01. The Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Bank and the Administrative Agent the full and punctual payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans made to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Upon failure by the Borrower to pay punctually any such amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the manner specified in this Agreement.

Section 9.02. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article 9 shall be, joint and several, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(c) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(d) any change in the organizational existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights such Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(f) any illegality, invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower for any reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the Borrowing by the Borrower or the payment by the Borrower of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amount payable by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(g) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this clause (g), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Section 9.03. Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Except as set forth in Section 9.08, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Article 9 shall remain in full force and effect until the Aggregate Commitments shall have terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Article 9 with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 9.04. Waiver by the Borrower. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person.

Section 9.05. Subrogation. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives any and all rights to which it may be entitled, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment pursuant to this Article 9, to be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower with respect to such payment or against any direct or indirect security therefor, or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by or for the account of the Borrower in respect thereof.

Section 9.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or its Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Majority Banks.

Section 9.07. Limitation on Obligations of Guarantor. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article 9 shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Guarantor’s obligation subject to avoidance under (i) Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (ii) Section 2:207c of the Dutch Civil Code, or (iii) any comparable provisions of applicable law.

Section 9.08. Release of Guarantors. The Banks hereby irrevocably agree that any Guarantor shall be released from this Agreement upon consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder (including a sale, transfer or Disposition of such Guarantor to a Person that is not Parent or one of its Subsidiaries) resulting in such Guarantor ceasing to constitute a Subsidiary. Any Guarantor (other than a direct or indirect parent of the Borrower) shall be released if such Guarantor shall become an Excluded Person; provided that no such release shall occur to the extent such Guarantor remains an issuer or co-issuer of or borrower or guarantor under any U.S. debt securities or U.S. syndicated credit facilities. Any Guarantor that is a direct or indirect parent of the Borrower (other than Parent) shall be released if, at any time after becoming a Guarantor, (i) such Guarantor becomes prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation binding on such Guarantor or its properties from guaranteeing the obligations under this Agreement or (ii) remaining a Guarantor would, in the reasonable determination of the Borrower, result in material adverse tax consequences to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries as reasonably determined by the Borrower; provided that no such release shall occur under clauses (i) or (ii) above, to the extent such Guarantor remains an issuer or co-issuer of or borrower or guarantor under any debt securities or syndicated credit facilities. The Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent will at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower or applicable Credit Party, execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Bank.

Section 9.09. Joinder of Guarantors. A Subsidiary of Parent may become a Guarantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein, for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of the Joinder Agreement. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 9.10. Scheme. The obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors under this Agreement shall not be affected by any reduction occurring in, or other arrangement being made relating to the liabilities of any Credit Party to the Banks as a result of any arrangement or composition, made pursuant to any of the provisions of the Irish Companies (Amendment) Act 1990 or any analogous provisions in any other jurisdiction or made pursuant to any proceedings or actions whatsoever and whether or not following the appointment of an administrator, administrative receiver, trustee, liquidator, receiver or examiner or any similar officer or any analogous event occurring under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction to any Credit Party or over all or a substantial part of the assets (as

the case may be) of any Credit Party and each Guarantor hereby agrees with and to the Banks and the Administrative Agent that the amount recoverable by the Banks from the Guarantors hereunder will be and will continue to be the full amount which would have been recoverable by the Banks from any such Guarantor in respect of any such Guarantor’s liabilities had no such arrangement or composition or event as aforesaid been entered into.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01. Notices. (a) All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (w) in the case of the Borrower, the Effective Date Guarantors or the Administrative Agent, at its address or facsimile transmission number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (x) in the case of any other Guarantor, at its address or facsimile transmission number set forth in its Joinder Agreement, (y) in the case of any Bank, at its address or facsimile transmission number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z) in the case of any party, such other address or facsimile transmission number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(b) All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in clause (a) shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by mail, when deposited in the mails, (iii) if delivered by posting to an Approved Electronic Platform, an Internet website or a similar telecommunication device requiring that a user have prior access to such Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device (to the extent permitted by Section 10.02 to be delivered thereunder), when such notice, demand, request, consent and other communication shall have been made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such Person must accomplish, and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of confidentiality) and such Person has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform and (i) if delivered by electronic mail or any other telecommunications device, when transmitted to an electronic mail address (or by another means of electronic delivery) as provided in clause (a); provided that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 2 or Article 7 shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent.

(c) Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clause (a) and (b) be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Borrower shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such

Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to msagency@morganstanley.com or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (c) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to the Borrower in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner.

Section 10.02. Posting of Approved Electronic Communications. (a) Each of the Banks and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Banks by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks^TM or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Banks and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

(d) Each of the Banks and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

Section 10.03. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 10.04. Expenses; Indemnification; Waiver. (a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation, syndication and administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom and in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 10.04(a).

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank and each Joint Lead Arranger and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, losses, damages, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any actual or prospective claim, investigation, or administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) only, the administration of the Loan Documents, or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder, or the enforcement of rights under this Section 10.04(b); provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for (i) such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment, (ii) any material breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment or (iii) any claim by any Indemnitee against another Indemnitee, except to the extent that such claim is against such Person in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Joint Lead Arranger or similar role in connection with this Agreement), in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment. At its own expense, the

Borrower shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of any action with respect to which it may have an indemnity obligation hereunder.

(c) Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law but without limiting the Borrower’s obligations under clause (b) above, each party hereto agrees that it shall not assert any claim against any other party hereto or any of their respective Related Parties, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages (as opposed to direct and actual damages) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the actual or proposed use of the Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Indemnitee will be liable to the Borrower or any other Person, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective security holders or creditors for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized Persons of information or other materials sent through the Approved Electronic Platform that are intercepted by such Persons.

Section 10.05. Set-Off; Sharing of Payments. (a) Without limiting any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of the Banks hereunder, if the Borrower shall fail to pay when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any amount payable by it hereunder or under any Note, each Bank may, without prior notice to the Borrower (which notice is expressly waived by it to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law), set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in any currency, matured or unmatured) and other obligations and liabilities at any time held or owing by such Bank or any of its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or account of the Borrower. Each Bank shall promptly provide notice of such set-off to the Borrower; provided that failure by such Bank to provide such notice shall not give the Borrower any cause of action or right to damages or affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) If any Bank shall obtain from the Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on a Loan or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any Note through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from the Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Bank shall have received a percentage of the principal of or interest on such Loan or such other amounts then due hereunder by the Borrower to such Bank in excess of its pro rata share thereof, it shall promptly purchase from such other Banks participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Bank, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Banks (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Banks. To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(c) Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 10.06. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and by the Required Banks and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks (i) extend, increase (including reinstating a terminated or expired Commitment) or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on the Loans or any fees hereunder; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Banks and the Borrower shall be necessary to amend the rate of interest described in Section 2.06(c), (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or any fees hereunder or for the termination of any Commitment (other than with respect to payments or terminations contemplated by Section 2.08 or Section 2.09), (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section 10.06 or any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definitions of “Required Banks” and “Majority Banks”), or (v) release Parent as a Guarantor or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantors, in either case from the obligations as guarantor under Section 9.01 or amend Section 10.05; provided further that this Agreement may be amended, prior to the Closing Date, by the Borrower, the Initial Banks, the Administrative Agent and any applicable Bank (without the consent of any other Bank or Person) to increase the Aggregate Commitments hereunder by increasing the Commitments of any existing Bank that consents to such increase, or by adding new Commitments from new Banks who agree to provide such incremental Commitments (such increased or incremental Commitments to be on terms identical to the existing Commitments), and to make such other changes as shall be necessary or appropriate to reflect such increase and the addition, if applicable, of such Banks.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to each Banks, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Further notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (i) the Commitment of such Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank, (ii) the principal of, and the rate of interest specified herein on, the Loan due to a Defaulting Bank may not be reduced without (A) the consent of such Defaulting Bank or (B) in connection with a reduction of the rate of interest specified herein on the Loans which impacts all Banks, the consent of all other Banks entitled to vote or (ii) this last sentence of Section 10.06 shall not be amended without the consent of any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank at the time of such amendment.

Section 10.07. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks except as permitted by Sections 5.04 and 5.10, and (ii) no Bank may assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement except in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.07.

(b) (i) Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or financial institutions (other than Parent, any of its Affiliates or a natural person) (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 10.06 without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 and Article 8 with respect to its participating interest (it is being understood that documentation required under Section 8.04 shall be delivered to the participating Bank). An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

(ii) Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions (other than Parent, any of its Affiliates or a natural person) (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes, and each such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations (or a proportionate part thereof), pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each such consent in each case not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment or Loans, the amount assigned to each Assignee which was not theretofore a Bank shall be at least $10,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided further that from and after the Closing Date, (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for assignments to (x) an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such transferor Bank or (y) a Bank or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Bank, (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Domestic Business Days after having received notice thereof and (iii) no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In each such event in which the consent of the Borrower shall be deemed to have been given or is not required, notice of such assignment shall be provided to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by the Assignee to such transferor Bank of the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment or a Loan as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the Assignee. Each Assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.04.

(d) Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

(e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(f) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.08. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 10.09. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. (a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract, equity, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

(b) Jurisdiction. Each Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on

the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Credit Party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 10.10. Counterparts; Integration. (a) This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersede any and all other prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.10 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of the Fee Letter shall survive in accordance with its terms, and the Borrower agrees to promptly enter into such amendments to this Agreement as shall be necessary to implement any changes to the terms and provisions hereof in order to effect any changes made or actions taken pursuant to the Fee Letter under the heading “Market Flex” during the period permitted therein.

Section 10.11. Confidentiality; Treatment of Information. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder or any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent or any Bank or any of its respective Affiliates may be a party, (vi) subject to an

agreement containing or incorporating provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.11, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives), surety, reinsurer, guarantor or credit liquidity enhancer (or their advisors) to or in connection with any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or by reference to this Agreement or payments hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (C) any rating agency when required by it, or (D) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, with the consent of the Borrower or (vii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11 or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For the purposes of this Section 10.11, “Information” means all information received from Parent or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Parent and its Subsidiaries (and prior to the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Target and its Subsidiaries) or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (and prior to the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Target and its Subsidiaries); provided that, in the case of information received from Parent or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, each party hereto (and each party’s employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States tax treatment and United States tax structure of this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such United States tax treatment and United States tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

(b) Certain of the Banks may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material non-public information with respect to the Company or the Target and on or after the Closing Date, Parent, or their respective securities (“Restricting Information”). Other Banks may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting Information. Each Bank acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public information concerning such issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall, by making

any Communications (including Restricting Information) available to a Bank, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Bank or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain Restricting Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Bank may make to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties (i) shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its Related Parties, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Bank has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Bank’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, non-public information or such Bank’s compliance with applicable laws related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Bank or any of their respective Related Parties arising out of or relating to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Bank.

(c) The Borrower agrees that (i) all Communications it provides to the Administrative Agent intended for delivery to the Banks whether by posting to the Approved Electronic Platform or otherwise shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” if such Communications do not contain Restricting Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Banks to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although, in this latter case, such Communications may contain sensitive business information and, therefore, remain subject to the confidentiality undertakings of clause (a) above) with respect to the Company or Target, and on and after the Closing Date, Parent, or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” may be delivered to all Banks and may be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side Information”, and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as Restricting Information and will not post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side Information”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by the Borrower regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with respect to the Company or Target, and on and after the Closing Date, Parent, or their respective securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties incur any liability to the Credit Parties, any Bank or any other Person for any action taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Bank that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information. Nothing in this clause (c) shall modify or limit a Bank’s obligations under clause (a) with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Information.

(d) Each Bank acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Bank agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information) on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such Bank’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Bank’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.

(e) Each Bank acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all Banks generally. Each Bank that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other Banks may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Bank. None of the Administrative Agent nor any Bank with access to Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Bank or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Bank, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information.

(f) The provisions of the foregoing clauses of this Section 10.11 are designed to assist the Administrative Agent, the Banks and the Borrower in complying with their respective contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Banks express a desire not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Banks hereunder or thereunder may contain Restricting Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties warrant or make any other statement to the effect that the Borrower’s or any Bank’s adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by the Borrower or such Bank with its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Banks and the Borrower assumes the risks associated therewith.

Section 10.12. Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement or in any Note shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the rest of this Agreement or such Note, as the case may be, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.13. Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.14, 2.16, 8.03(a), 8.03(b), Section 8.04, 8.06 and 10.04, and the obligations of the Banks under Section 7.05, shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments (provided that any such obligation shall not survive for more than one year after the later of such events) and, in the case of any Bank that may assign any interest in its Commitment or Loans, shall survive the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Bank may cease to be a “Bank” hereunder, and shall survive the

resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of the Loans, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty, and no Bank shall be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loans, any Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that such Bank or the Administrative Agent may have had notice or knowledge or reason to believe that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time such extension of credit was made.

Section 10.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH CREDIT PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 10.15. Captions. The table of contents and captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Credit Parties acknowledge that neither any Bank nor the Administrative Agent has any fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Notes, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Banks, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. This Agreement does not create a joint venture among the parties.

Section 10.17. USA Patriot Act Notification. Each Bank subject to the USA Patriot Act hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Bank to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. Unless previously delivered, each Credit Party shall promptly after reasonable request therefor deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Bank all documentation and other information with respect to itself required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act;.

ANNEX A

PRICING SCHEDULE

On any date, the Euro-Dollar Margin shall be determined by the matrix below based on the Group’s Status:


			Euro-Dollar Margin
Rating Level	Debt Rating		Closing Date through 89 days after Closing Date			90 days after Closing Date through 179 days after Closing Date			180 days after Closing Date through 269 days after Closing Date			270 days after Closing Date and thereafter
I		> BBB+/Baa1		1.25	%		1.50	%		2.00	%		2.50	%
II		BBB/Baa2		1.50	%		1.75	%		2.25	%		2.75	%
III		< BBB/Baa2		1.75	%		2.00	%		2.50	%		3.00	%

“Level I Status” exists on any date if, at such date, the Borrower outstanding senior unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB+ or an equivalent rating or higher by S&P or Baa1 or an equivalent rating or higher by Moody’s.

“Level II Status” exists on any date if, at such date, (i) the Borrower outstanding senior unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB or an equivalent rating or higher by S&P or Baa2 or an equivalent rating or higher by Moody’s and (ii) Level I Status does not exist on such date.

“Level III Status” exists on any date if none of Level I Status or Level II Status, exists on such date.

“Status” means Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status.

The credit ratings to be utilized in the determination of a Status are the ratings assigned to unsecured obligations of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the above definitions, the parties agree that for purposes of determining what Status applies, (i) if the rating by Moody’s and the rating by S&P, referred to in the definitions relating to such Status, differ by one level, then the applicable rating level status shall be based upon the higher of such ratings, (ii) if said rating by Moody’s and said rating by S&P differ by more than one level, then the applicable Status shall be one level lower than the rating level resulting from the higher of such ratings and (iii) during any period during which there is no such rating by either Moody’s or S&P, Level III Status shall apply.
