A notice given by the Company pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable.

(e) Notification of Acceptances by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.

(f) Bids by Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid directly to the Company at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Borrower (on behalf of itself or any of its Subsidiaries) may request the issuance of Letters of Credit in any Agreed Currency by any Issuing Lender for the account of such Borrower, in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the relevant Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) to, or entered into by the relevant Borrower (or the Company on its behalf) with, the relevant Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Multicurrency Commitments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Letters of Credit may be issued under the Euro Commitments.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the relevant Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the relevant Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender that is selected by it to issue such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying:

(i) if applicable, the name of the Subsidiary of the Company to be an applicant with respect to the issuance of a Letter of Credit;

(ii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);

(iii) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (d) of this Section);

(iv) the amount and Currency of such Letter of Credit;

(v) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; and

(vi) such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit as the relevant Issuing Lender may reasonably require (and, if a Subsidiary shall be an applicant to such Letter of Credit the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to furnish to the relevant Issuing Lender such other information pertaining to such Letter of Credit as may be necessary in connection with such preparation, amendment, renewal or extension).

If requested by the relevant Issuing Lender, the relevant Borrower also shall, (and, if a Subsidiary shall be an applicant to such Letter of Credit, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary to) submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.

Credit Agreement

- 35 -

(c) Limitation on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the total LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the total Multicurrency Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Multicurrency Commitments, (iii) (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the total Revolving Exposures plus (y) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments and (iv) the Dollar Equivalent of the total LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by the relevant Issuing Lender shall not exceed such Issuing Lender’s LC Commitment.

(d) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided that, if at any time there shall exist different Commitment Termination Dates for the Lenders hereunder, the “Commitment Termination Date” referred to in clause (ii) above shall refer to the latest applicable Commitment Termination Date; provided further that any Letter of Credit with a one year term may provide for automatic renewal thereof for additional one year periods, which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above.

(e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, the relevant Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Multicurrency Lender, and each Multicurrency Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Multicurrency Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Multicurrency Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Multicurrency Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the relevant Issuing Lender, such Multicurrency Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the relevant Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the relevant Borrower for any reason. Such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Multicurrency Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Multicurrency Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing

Credit Agreement

- 36 -

Lender the amounts so received by it from the Multicurrency Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the relevant Borrower pursuant to the immediately succeeding paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the relevant Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Multicurrency Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Multicurrency Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Multicurrency Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the relevant Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Reimbursement. If the relevant Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on (i) the Business Day that the relevant Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m., Local Time, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the relevant Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt, provided that if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000 and such Letter of Credit is denominated in Dollars or Euro, the relevant Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Loan or Euro Reference Rate Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Loan. If the relevant Borrower fails to make such payment when due and shall not have requested a Loan in accordance with Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Multicurrency Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement and Currency, the payment then due from the relevant Borrower in respect thereof and such Multicurrency Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Multicurrency Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the relevant Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Multicurrency Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Multicurrency Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Multicurrency Lenders.

(g) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision thereof, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the occurrence of any Default, (v) the existence of any proceedings of the type described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII with respect to any Borrower or (vi) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Credit Agreement

- 37 -

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Multicurrency Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender thereof or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers or to any Multicurrency Lender that has funded its participation hereunder in such Letter of Credit to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by such Borrower and the Multicurrency Lenders to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers or any such Multicurrency Lender, as the case may be, that are caused by an Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise the standard of care agreed to hereunder to be applicable when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(h) Disbursement Procedures. The relevant Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. The relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the relevant Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the relevant Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(i) Interim Interest. If the relevant Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the relevant Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of any Letter of Credit for the account of any U.S. Borrower denominated in Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (ii) otherwise, at the rate per annum which would have

Credit Agreement

- 38 -

been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of nonpayment, constituted a Revolving Loan in the relevant Currency of the overdue amount with an Interest Period reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent; provided that, if the relevant Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of the relevant Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Multicurrency Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender shall be for account of such Multicurrency Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j) Additional Issuing Lenders; Termination of Issuing Lenders. An Issuing Lender may be added, or an existing Issuing Lender may be terminated, under this Agreement at any time by written agreement between the Company, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Multicurrency Lenders of any such addition or termination. At the time any such termination shall become effective, the relevant Borrower or Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued pursuant to Section 2.11(b) for account of the Issuing Lender being terminated. From and after the effective date of any such addition, the new Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter. After the termination of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the terminated Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not be required to issue any new Letters of Credit or to renew or extend any such outstanding Letters of Credit.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, or (in the case of any ABR Borrowing) by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in each case to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of any Euro Reference Rate Borrowing under the Multicurrency Commitments, Bank of China, New York Branch shall be permitted to fund the Loan to be made by it with respect to such Borrowing under this Section by 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the second Business Day following the proposed date of such Borrowing (provided that (i) such Lender’s obligation to fund such Loan shall become unconditional from and after the time any other Multicurrency Lender shall have funded its respective Loans under such Borrowing and (ii) if, at any time after the date hereof, such Lender shall be able to fund Euro Reference Rate Loans on a same-day basis, it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company thereof, whereupon this proviso shall cease to apply to such Lender). The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the relevant Borrower by remitting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by such Borrower in the Borrowing Request or Competitive Bid Request promptly on the same day following receipt thereof from the relevant Lenders.

(b) Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to or (in the case of any ABR Borrowing or Euro

Credit Agreement

- 39 -

Reference Rate Borrowing) on the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the relevant Lender and the relevant Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, calculated at a rate of interest determined by the Administrative Agent to reflect its cost of funds. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections.

(a) Elections by Borrowers for Revolving Borrowings. Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Revolving Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than for any Euro Reference Rate Loan), shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the relevant Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Revolving Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than for any Euro Reference Rate Loan), may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section and to the extent the applicable Borrower would be entitled to request a Borrowing of such Type as a new Borrowing hereunder; provided that (i) a Revolving Borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be continued as, or converted to, a Revolving Borrowing in a different Currency, and (ii) no Revolving Eurocurrency Borrowing in a Currency other than Dollars may be continued if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of the total Revolving Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans would exceed the Aggregate Commitments. The relevant Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Competitive Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the relevant Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the relevant Borrower.

Credit Agreement

- 40 -

(c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether, in the case of a Borrowing in Dollars by a U.S. Borrower, the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than a Euro Reference Rate Borrowing), the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(e).

(d) Notice by Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If any Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate Revolving Borrowing of such Borrower prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, (i) if such Borrowing is made to any U.S. Borrower and is denominated in Dollars, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) if such Borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency or is made to any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the relevant Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, no outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing may have an Interest Period of more than one month’s duration.

SECTION 2.08. Termination, Reduction and Increase of Commitments.

(a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction; Changes to Euronext Borrowing Sublimit. The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Multicurrency Commitments or the Euro Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of any of the Tranches of the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to at least $1,000,000 and

Credit Agreement

- 41 -

(ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce any Tranche of Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans under such Tranche in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Dollar Equivalent of the total Revolving Exposures plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans would exceed the Aggregate Commitments. The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments hereunder at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying whether such election relates to the Multicurrency Commitments and/or the Euro Commitments and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditional, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent; provided that the reduction of the Commitments shall not preclude a subsequent increase thereof in accordance with Section 2.08(c). Each reduction of the applicable Commitments shall be made ratably among the relevant Lenders of the affected Tranche in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Tranche. The Company may at any time or from time to time upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent reduce or increase the amount of the Euronext Borrowing Sublimit; provided that (i) each such change thereof shall be in an amount of at least $1,000,000 and (ii) the Euronext Borrowing Sublimit shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

(i) Requests for Increase. The Company may, at any time following the Effective Date, effect an increase in the Commitments under either Tranche hereunder (each such increase being a “Commitment Increase”) by having an Additional Commitment Lender provide a new or additional Commitment hereunder, by notice to the Administrative Agent specifying the amount of the relevant Commitment Increase, the identity of the Additional Commitment Lender(s) and the date on which such increase is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”), which shall be a Business Day at least three Business Days after delivery of such notice and at least 30 days prior to the Commitment Termination Date (or, if there shall be more than one Commitment Termination Date at such time, the then latest Commitment Termination Date); provided that:

(A) the minimum amount of each Commitment Increase shall be $25,000,000;

(B) the aggregate amount of all Commitment Increases hereunder shall not exceed $500,000,000;

(C) at the time of any such Commitment Increase, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; and

(D) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representations and

Credit Agreement

- 42 -

warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

Each notice by the Company under this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Company as to the matters specified in clauses (B), (C) and (D) above as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to become an Additional Commitment Lender and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion of each Lender.

(ii) Effectiveness of Increase. Each Commitment Increase (and the new or additional Commitment of each Additional Commitment Lender resulting therefrom) shall become effective as of the relevant Commitment Increase Date upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date, of:

(A) a certificate of a duly authorized senior officer of the Company stating that the conditions with respect to such Commitment Increase under this paragraph (c) have been satisfied;

(B) an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of such Commitment Increase Date, provide a new or additional Commitment hereunder in the amount specified therein and (if not then an existing Lender) become a Lender hereunder, in each case duly executed by such Additional Commitment Lender and the Company and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; and

(C) such evidence of authority of the Company to effect such Commitment Increase as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a fully executed agreement from each Additional Commitment Lender referred to in clause (B) above, together with the certificate and/or other documents referred to in clauses (A) and (C) above, the Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in each such agreement in the Register and give prompt notice of the relevant Commitment Increase to the Company and the Lenders (including each Additional Commitment Lender).

On each Commitment Increase Date, if any Revolving Loans are then outstanding under the Tranche of Commitments that is subject to such increase, the Company and/or the other Borrowers shall (i) borrow Revolving Loans from all or certain of the Lenders under such Tranche and/or prepay Revolving Loans of all or certain of the Lenders under such Tranche such that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans under such Tranche are held ratably by the Lenders under such Tranche in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Tranche (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (ii) pay to such Lenders the amounts, if any, payable under Section 2.15 in connection with such prepayments. Upon each

Credit Agreement

- 43 -

such Commitment Increase under the Multicurrency Commitments, the participation interests of the Multicurrency Lenders in the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall automatically be adjusted to reflect, and each such Multicurrency Lender (including each Additional Commitment Lender holding a Multicurrency Commitment) shall have a participation in each such Letter of Credit equal to, such Multicurrency Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit, after giving effect to such increase.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Repayment. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to such Borrower on the Commitment Termination Date. The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender that makes a Competitive Loan the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for such Competitive Loan.

(b) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the relevant Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower, including the amounts and Currency of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) Maintenance of Records by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount and Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount and Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the relevant Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay the Loans made to such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the relevant Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Any Lender that ceases to be a Lender hereunder shall as promptly as practicable return its notes (if any) to the relevant Borrower after termination of such Lender’s Commitment and payment to it of all principal and interest owing to it hereunder.

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.15), any Borrowing made by it in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that the Company shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior consent of the Lender that has made such Competitive Loan.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments Due to Currency Fluctuations. On the first Business Day of each calendar month or at such other times as the Required Lenders may request (provided that not more than one such request may be made in any rolling three month period), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Exposure for each Tranche (including the Dollar Equivalent of any portion thereof that is denominated in Foreign Currencies). For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding principal amount of any Loan and the undrawn face amount of any Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent thereof as of the relevant determination date. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Company thereof. If, on the date of any determination, (A) the Dollar Equivalent of the total Revolving Exposures under the relevant Tranche exceeds 105% of the total Commitments of such Tranche, (B) the sum of (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the total Revolving Exposures (so calculated) plus (y) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans of the Lenders exceeds 105% of the Aggregate Commitments or (C) the Dollar Equivalent of the total Revolving Exposures in respect of Loans to or Letters of Credit for the account of Euronext exceeds the Euronext Borrowing Sublimit, then (in the case of clauses (A) and (B)) the Company shall (or shall cause a Subsidiary Borrower to), and (in the case of clause (C)) Euronext shall, within three Business Days after a request by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of clause (A), the Required Lenders under the relevant Tranche), in each case through the Administrative Agent, first, prepay the Revolving Loans under the relevant Tranche (if applicable), next, provide Cash Collateral for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.21(a)) under the relevant Tranche (if applicable), and, finally, prepay Competitive Bid Loans, in an aggregate amount at least equal to the amount of such excess (if any).

(c) Notices, Etc. The relevant Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing hereunder:

(i) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing by any U.S. Borrower, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment;

(ii) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars by any U.S Borrower, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment;

(iii) in the case of prepayment of a Euro Reference Rate Borrowing, not later than 9:00 a.m., London time, on the date of prepayment;

(iv) in the case of prepayment of a EURIBO Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment; or

(v) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing in any Agreed Foreign Currency (other than Euros) or in the case of any Eurocurrency Borrowing in Dollars by any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, not later than 1:00 p.m., London time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment.

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and the Tranche of such Borrowing; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.11. Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Exposure. Facility fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any such fees then accrued and unpaid shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Revolving Eurocurrency Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure. The relevant Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Issuing Lender of each Letter of Credit (i) a fronting fee, which shall accrue at such rate as may be agreed in writing between such Issuing Lender and the Company on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any

Credit Agreement

- 46 -

portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) under such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure thereunder and (ii) its standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder, which amounts under clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be payable in the Currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated (unless such Issuing Lender and the relevant Borrower shall otherwise agree). Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that any such fees then accrued and unpaid shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and the Currency and at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars (except as otherwise provided in this Section) and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest.

(a) Dollar Revolving Loans. The Loans comprising each Revolving Borrowing in Dollars shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to:

(i) in the case of each ABR Borrowing, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and

(ii) in the case of each LIBO Rate Borrowing in Dollars, the LIBO Rate for Dollars for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) Foreign Currency Revolving Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing in any Agreed Foreign Currency shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to:

(i) in the case of a EURIBO Rate Loan, the EURIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Rate;

(iii) in the case of a Revolving Loan in any Agreed Foreign Currency (other than Euros), the LIBO Rate for such Agreed Foreign Currency for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Competitive Loans. The Loans comprising each Competitive Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the LIBO Rate for Dollars for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Competitive Bid Margin applicable to such Loan and (ii) in the case of a Fixed Rate Loan, the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan.

(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus (x) in the case of amounts payable in Dollars, the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section and (y) otherwise, the rate which would have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of nonpayment, constituted a Loan in the relevant Agreed Foreign Currency of the overdue amount with an Interest Period reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Revolving Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and interest on all Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, LIBO Rate, EURIBO Rate or Euro Reference Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Credit Agreement

- 48 -

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing (the Currency of such Borrowing herein called the “Affected Currency”):

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Competitive Eurodollar Loan, the Lender that is required to make a Loan included in such Borrowing) that the LIBO Rate or the EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing in the Affected Currency to, or the continuation of any Revolving Borrowing in the Affected Currency as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) if the Affected Currency is Dollars and any Borrowing Request requests a Revolving LIBO Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if the Affected Currency is an Agreed Foreign Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests a Revolving Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than a Euro Reference Rate Borrowing) denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective and (iv) any request by the relevant Borrower for a Competitive Eurodollar Borrowing in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective; provided that (A) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Company for Competitive Eurodollar Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (B) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate) or any Issuing Lender; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or

Credit Agreement

- 49 -

receivable by such Lender or Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the relevant Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. This Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity, as applicable), then from time to time the relevant Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, in Dollars such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis. The relevant Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 45 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 45-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Competitive Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Lender shall not be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any Competitive Loan if the Change in Law that would otherwise entitle it to such compensation shall have been publicly announced prior to submission of the Competitive Bid pursuant to which such Loan was made.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), (d) the failure to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan or (e) the assignment as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.18(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the relevant Borrower (or, in the case of clause (e) above, the Company) shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense incurred by it as a result thereof, and in each case, any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, for purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower or the Company, as applicable, to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Loan made by it at the LIBO Rate or EURIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London or European (as applicable) interbank market for the relevant currency in a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis. The relevant Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount due within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. In addition, (i) each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes imposed with respect to any payment made by such Borrower or the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents by or against such Borrower, and (ii) the Company shall pay any Other Taxes not described in clause (i) above, in each case, to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

Credit Agreement

(c) Indemnification by Borrowers. Without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.16(a), each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) for which such Borrower is responsible pursuant to this Agreement and that were paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that if any Borrower determines that any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or legally imposed or asserted, the Administrative Agent, the relevant Lender or the relevant Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall allow such Borrower to contest (and shall cooperate in such contest), the imposition of such Tax upon the reasonable request of such Borrower and at such Borrower’s expense; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent, the relevant Lender or the relevant Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall not be required to participate in any contest that would, in its reasonable judgment, expose it to a material commercial disadvantage or require it to disclose any information it considers confidential or proprietary. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the relevant Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Lender (together with any supporting detail reasonably requested by such Borrower), shall be conclusive; provided that such amounts are determined on a reasonable basis.

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

(e) (i) Non-U.S. Lenders to U.S. Borrowers. Any Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. withholding tax, or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall deliver to the relevant U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, or as reasonably requested by such U.S. Borrower such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such U.S. Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Each Non-U.S. Lender (or if such Non-U.S. Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) shall deliver to the relevant U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), on or before the date that such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, (A) two properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, as applicable, (or successor forms thereto), claiming a complete exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on all payments by such U.S. Borrower under this Agreement and

Credit Agreement

- 52 -

the other Loan Documents, or (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of the applicable form attached as Exhibit D and a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly provide such forms upon becoming aware of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender (unless it is legally unable to do so as a result of a Change in Law) and shall promptly notify the U.S. Borrower at any time it determines that any previously delivered forms are no longer valid.

(ii) U.S. Lenders to U.S. Borrowers. Each U.S. Lender (or if such U.S. Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) shall deliver to the relevant U.S. 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 U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower or Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax. Each U.S. Lender shall promptly provide such forms upon becoming aware of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such U.S. Lender (unless it is legally unable to do so as a result of a Change in Law) and shall promptly notify the U.S. Borrower at any time it determines that any previously delivered forms are no longer valid.

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

(g) Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes from the Governmental Authority to which such Taxes or Other Taxes were paid or determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has obtained the benefit of a credit for Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower or with respect to which such Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund or the net benefit attributable to such credit to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender and without interest (other than any

Credit Agreement

- 53 -

interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any interest to the extent accrued from the date such refund or credit is paid over to such Borrower) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(h) Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrowers. If the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in the rate of the imposition, deduction or withholding of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower is organized or engaged in business, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments by such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (as the case may be) shall deliver to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower or the relevant Governmental Authority, in the manner and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as reasonably requested by the Company (at least 30 days prior to the due date required for submission thereof), such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without the imposition, deduction or withholding of such Indemnified Tax or Other Tax or at a reduced rate, provided that the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in its reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice its commercial or legal position. Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each such Issuing Lender or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly provide such documentation upon becoming aware of the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Person and shall promptly notify the Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower at any time it determines that any previously delivered documentation is no longer valid.

(i) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or any Issuing Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby

Credit Agreement

- 54 -

authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (i).

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set offs.

(a) Payments by Borrowers. (i) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the relevant Administrative Agent’s Account, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(ii) Prior to any prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder, the relevant Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time (or, in the case of a Borrowing in any Agreed Foreign Currency or any Borrowing by any Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, not later than 1:00 p.m., London time), three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. If the relevant Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay (in the case of Borrowings of any U.S. Borrower) any outstanding ABR Borrowings and, second, to other Borrowings in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first).

(iii) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on any Loan or any Letter of Credit in any Agreed Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.15, all amounts owing under this Agreement (including facility fees, payments required under Section 2.14 and payments required under Section 2.15 relating to any Loan or any Letter of Credit in Dollars) are payable in Dollars. All amounts with respect to principal of and interest on any Loan or any Letter of Credit in any Agreed Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.15 are payable in such Agreed Foreign Currency.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be

- 55 -

applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Revolving Borrowing under any Tranche shall be made from the Lenders under such Tranche and shall be allocated pro rata among such Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments under such Tranche (in the case of the making of Revolving Loans) or their respective Revolving Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions or continuations of Revolving Loans); (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans under any Tranche by the relevant Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders under such Tranche pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans under such Tranche held by them; and (iii) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans, and each payment of facility fees and Letter of Credit fees, under any Tranche by the relevant Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders under such Tranche pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans or such fees, as the case may be, then due and payable under such Tranche to the respective Lenders.

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the relevant Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due by such

Credit Agreement

- 56 -

Borrower to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders or any Issuing Lender hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the relevant Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the relevant Issuing Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, calculated at a rate of interest determined by the Administrative Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

(f) Certain Deductions by Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(e), 2.06(b) or 2.17(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or participations in Letters of Credit (as applicable) or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or (v) any Lender that is an Objecting Lender with respect to a proposed designation of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20 as to which Lenders constituting the Required Lenders are not Objecting Lenders, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), which shall upon such assumption be a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; provided that:

(i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (if a Multicurrency Commitment is being assigned) each Issuing Lender to such assignee (which consent, in each case, shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed);

Credit Agreement

- 57 -

(ii) the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.04(b);

(iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.15) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the relevant Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.19. Extension of Commitment Termination Date. (a) The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date (or if such anniversary date is not a Business Day, the Business Date next succeeding such anniversary) (such anniversary of the Effective Date, an “Extension Effective Date”), request (each, an “Extension Request”) that the Lenders extend the applicable Commitment Termination Date then in effect (or, if at such time there shall exist different Commitment Termination Dates for the Lenders hereunder, the latest applicable Commitment Termination Date then in effect) (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”) for an additional one year; provided that (i) only two Extension Requests may be requested hereunder and (ii) each such Extension Request shall be offered to all Lenders (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include Lenders under both Tranches of Commitments to the extent then applicable). Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day (or such later day as shall be acceptable to the Company) following the date of the Company’s notice, advise the Company and the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension; provided that any Lender that does not so advise the Company shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request (any such Lender which shall have rejected or is deemed to have rejected such extension being a “Non-Extending Lender”). The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

Credit Agreement

- 58 -

(b) The Company shall have the right, at any time on or prior to, or at any time following, the relevant Extension Effective Date, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to replace any Non-Extending Lender with, and otherwise add to this Agreement, one or more Additional Commitment Lenders; provided that if at such time there shall be more than one Tranche of Commitments in effect, the Company may replace a Non-Extending Lender having a Euro Commitment with one or more Additional Commitment Lenders which will have a Multicurrency Commitment. Each Additional Commitment Lender shall enter into an agreement with the Company and the Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of such Extension Effective Date (or, if such replacement occurs thereafter, as of the relevant effective date of such replacement), provide a new or additional Commitment hereunder in the amount specified therein and (if not then an existing Lender) become a Lender hereunder.

(c) If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed in connection with any Extension Request to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date and (if applicable) the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lender(s) shall be at least 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Extension Effective Date, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the proviso at the end of this sentence effective as of the relevant Extension Effective Date, the Commitment Termination Date, but only with respect to the Commitment of each Lender that has agreed to so extend its Commitment and (if applicable) each Additional Commitment Lender that has replaced a Non-Extending Lender, shall be extended to the date that is one year after the then Existing Commitment Termination Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and (if not then an existing Lender) each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless as of the Extension Effective Date:

(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any such representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the Existing Commitment Termination Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

(iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received such evidence of the authority of the Borrowers to effect such extension as it may reasonably request;

Credit Agreement

- 59 -

(iv) all amounts payable hereunder to any Non-Extending Lender that is being replaced by an Additional Commitment Lender in connection with such extension shall have been paid in full; and

(v) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Financial Officer stating that the conditions with respect to such extension have been satisfied.

Upon the effectiveness of such extension, the Administrative Agent shall record the relevant information in the Register and give prompt notice of such extension to the Company and the Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Non-Extending Lender, the Commitment Termination Date for such Lender shall remain unchanged (and the Commitment of such Lender (including its obligation in respect of any participation in respect of any Letter of Credit) shall terminate, the Loans made by such Non-Extending Lender to any Borrower hereunder shall mature and be payable by such Borrower, and all other amounts owing to such Non-Extending Lender hereunder shall be payable, on such date).

SECTION 2.20. Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) Designation of Subsidiary Borrowers. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, the Company may, at any time or from time to time upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice (a “Notice of Proposed Subsidiary Borrower Designation”) to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period which is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), request that a Subsidiary specified in such notice become a party to this Agreement as a Borrower. Each Notice of Proposed Subsidiary Borrower Designation shall specify the name of such Subsidiary and its jurisdiction of organization, the proposed effective date of such designation and such other information relating thereto reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall upon receipt of a Notice of Proposed Subsidiary Borrower Designation from the Company promptly notify each Lender thereof. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions specified in paragraph (b) of this Section (but subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph), such Subsidiary shall become a party to this Agreement as a Borrower hereunder and shall be entitled to borrow Loans and request the issuance of Letters of Credit on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such designation. If the designation of such Subsidiary Borrower obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or other similar checks and identification requirements and procedures under any applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall (or shall cause such Subsidiary Borrower to), promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (through the Administrative Agent), supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to comply therewith.

As soon as practicable (but in any event not more than five Business Days) following its receipt of a Notice of Proposed Subsidiary Borrower Designation with respect to a Non-U.S. Subsidiary, any Lender that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Non-U.S. Subsidiary because of its jurisdiction of

Credit Agreement

- 60 -

organization (an “Objecting Lender”), or whose internal policies preclude any such lending, establishing credit and/or doing business with respect to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary, may object to the designation of such Non-U.S. Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder by notifying the Company and the Administrative Agent thereof in writing (a “Lender Objection Notice”); provided that (i) any Lender which is relying solely on such internal policies as the basis for providing such an objection may provide a Lender Objection Notice only if such policies are being applied by such Lender to all similarly situated borrowers seeking loans or other extensions of credit from or with respect to doing business in such jurisdiction; (ii) prior to the delivery of a Lender Objection Notice, each Lender that may be an Objecting Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate (or identify) a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary hereunder or to assign (or identify for purposes of assignment of) its rights and obligations hereunder to make its Loans to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate the need for a Lender Objection Notice and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (and the Company and the relevant Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment); and (iii) if, pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Lender shall assign its rights and obligations hereunder to make its Loans to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary hereunder to an Affiliate, such Lender shall, to the extent of Loans made to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Loans to such Affiliate in compliance with the provisions of Section 9.04 (provided that, at the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such Affiliate shall deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such deemed assignment). In the event that the Company and the Administrative Agent receive a Lender Objection Notice with respect to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary that has not been withdrawn by the applicable Objecting Lender, the Company may not deliver a Subsidiary Borrower Designation with respect to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower under paragraph (b) of this Section. Subject to the requirements of this Section (including the provisions of this paragraph), nothing herein shall preclude the Company from submitting thereafter another request for designation of such Non-U.S. Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder.

(b) Conditions Precedent to Designation Effectiveness. The designation by the Company of any Subsidiary as a Borrower hereunder shall become effective on the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following documents (each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in form and substance) (and the Administrative Agent shall not have received a Lender Objection Notice pursuant to this Section that has not been withdrawn by the relevant Lender):

(i) Subsidiary Borrower Designation. A Subsidiary Borrower Designation, duly completed and executed by the Company and the relevant Subsidiary, delivered to the Administrative Agent;

(ii) Opinion of Counsel. In the case of a Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower, if requested by the Administrative Agent, a favorable written opinion of external or internal counsel to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower (such counsel to be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), as to such matters as the Administrative Agent may request, and the Company and such Non-U.S. Subsidiary Borrower hereby instruct such counsel to deliver any such opinion;

Credit Agreement

- 61 -

(iii) Corporate Documents. Such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (including certified copies of the organizational documents of such Subsidiary and of resolutions of its board of directors authorizing such Subsidiary becoming a Borrower hereunder, and of all documents evidencing all other necessary corporate or other action required with respect to such Subsidiary becoming party to this Agreement); and

(iv) Other Documents. Receipt of such other documents relating thereto as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request (including any information requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section).

(c) Termination of Subsidiary Borrowers. The Company may, at any time, terminate a Subsidiary Borrower as a Borrower hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent a written notice thereof (each a “Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice”), substantially in the form of Exhibit C or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Subsidiary Borrower Termination Notice furnished hereunder shall be effective upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders), whereupon all commitments of the Lenders to make Loans to, and all obligations of the Issuing Lenders to issue, and of the Lenders to acquire participations in, Letters of Credit for the account of, such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder shall terminate and such Subsidiary Borrower shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder. If, at the time of any such termination, any Loans or any other amounts hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are outstanding to the relevant Subsidiary Borrower, the Company shall assume all such obligations as primary obligations pursuant to an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and upon such assumption, such Subsidiary Borrower shall be automatically released from such obligations without any further action by any party.

SECTION 2.21. Cash Collateral. (a) Obligation to Cash Collateralize. The Company shall (i) as required pursuant to Section 2.10(b) or (ii) as required pursuant to Article VII, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize in the relevant Currency or Currencies in which the Letter(s) of Credit are denominated, in the case of clause (i) above, in an amount not less than the amount required under Section 2.10(b) or, in the case of clause (ii) above, in an amount not less than 102% of the then LC Exposure (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) with respect to each such Letter of Credit. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Company shall, within two Business Days of its receipt of a request from the Administrative Agent or any applicable Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), Cash Collateralize in the relevant Currency or Currencies in which the Letter(s) of Credit are denominated all Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than 102% of the Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Lender with respect to each such Letter of Credit then outstanding.

Credit Agreement

- 62 -

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent. The Company and, to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Lenders and the applicable Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and all proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of Cash Collateral is less than the amount required under paragraph (a) of this Section, the Company will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Cash Collateral provided under this Section or Section 2.22 or Article VII or otherwise in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the specific LC Exposure, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligations) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section shall be released promptly, but within three Business Days, in the event (i) in the case of clause (i) of such sentence, Cash Collateral for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall no longer be required, (ii) in the case of clause (ii) of such sentence, the applicable Event of Default shall have been cured or waived (so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing at such time and the Loans shall not have been accelerated or the Commitments shall not have been terminated) or (iii) the Administrative Agent shall determine in good faith that there exists excess Cash Collateral. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided pursuant to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section shall be released promptly following the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 9.04(b)(ii)(F) or pursuant to Section 2.18(b)); provided that the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Lender(s) may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations hereunder.

SECTION 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 9.02.

Credit Agreement

- 63 -

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize any Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.21; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize any Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.21; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Revolving Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Tranche without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral or otherwise pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

Credit Agreement

- 64 -

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a facility fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it, and (2) (if such Lender is a Multicurrency Lender) its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.21.

(B) If a Defaulting Lender is a Multicurrency Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.11(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.21.

(C) With respect to any facility fee or any such Letter of Credit fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Company (or relevant Borrower, as applicable) shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender which is a Multicurrency Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Exposure that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of any such Letter of Credit fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders which are Multicurrency Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Company shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the total Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.21.

Credit Agreement

- 65 -

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Defaulting Lender which is a Multicurrency Lender, each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Tranche (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless the related Fronting Exposure and any other Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender will be fully covered by the Commitments of Non-Defaulting Lenders which are Multicurrency Lenders or by Cash Collateral provided in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 2.23. Certain Sharing Arrangements Among Lenders. (a) Participations. At any time prior to the Tranche Consolidation Date, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Lenders shall automatically and without further action be deemed to have exchanged interests in the outstanding Revolving Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit made or issued under their respective Commitments such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in each such Revolving Loan and Letter of Credit, such Lender shall hold an interest in all of the Revolving Loans made to the Borrowers and all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers under both Tranches of Commitments at such time, whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated therein, equal to such Lender’s Exchange Percentage thereof. The foregoing exchanges shall be accomplished automatically pursuant to this Section through purchases and sales of participations in the Revolving Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit as required hereby, which shall be effected solely among or between the Lenders (and without the participation of the Company or any other Borrower), provided that, at the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender hereby agrees to enter into customary participation agreements approved by the Administrative Agent to evidence the same. All purchases and sales of participating interests pursuant to this Section shall be made in the respective Currency in which such Revolving Loans and/or Letters of Credit are denominated. At the request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender which has sold participations in any of its Revolving Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit as provided above (through the Administrative Agent) will deliver to each Lender (through the Administrative Agent) which has so purchased a participating interest therein a participation certificate in the appropriate amount as determined in conjunction with the Administrative Agent. It is understood that the amount of funds delivered in connection therewith by each Lender shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of participations by the various Lenders as required above.

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

(c) Participation Payments. Upon, and after, the occurrence of a Sharing Event (a) no further Revolving Loan or issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be made, (b) all amounts from time to time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on account of, Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such Sharing Event) shall be payable in the respective Currency in which such Revolving Loans and/or Letters of Credit are denominated and shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders which made such Revolving Loans or are participating therein and (c) all Commitments shall be automatically terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the failure of any Lender to purchase its participating interests as required above in any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interests in a timely manner, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other Lender on any date.

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

(e) Settlement of Participation Payments. Whenever, at any time after the relevant Lenders have received from any other Lenders purchases of participations pursuant to this Section and the various Lenders receive any payment on account thereof, such Lenders will

Credit Agreement

- 67 -

distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the other Lenders participating therein, such Lenders’ participating interests in such amounts (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such participations were outstanding) in like funds as received; provided that in the event that such payment received by any Lenders is required to be returned, the Lenders who received previous distributions in respect of their participating interests therein will return to the respective Lenders any portion thereof previously so distributed to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the respective Lenders.

(f) Participation Obligations Absolute. Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against any Borrower, any other Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower, any other Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(g) Increased Costs; Indemnities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above, (i) each Lender which has purchased such participations shall be entitled to receive from the Borrowers any increased costs, indemnities and other amounts (including pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03) directly from the Borrowers to the same extent as if it became a direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein as of the date of the deemed exchange pursuant to this Section. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after giving effect to the requirements of this Section, increased Taxes may be owing by it pursuant to Section 2.16, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 2.16) by the relevant Borrower(s), without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because the same resulted from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section.

(h) Provisions Regarding Sharing Arrangements. The provisions of this Section are and are intended solely for the purpose of effecting a sharing arrangement among the Lenders and reflects an agreement among creditors. Except as contemplated by paragraphs (c) and (g) of this Section, none of the Borrowers shall have any rights or obligations under this Section. Nothing contained in this Section is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to pay all principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their respective terms.

(i) Sharing After Tranche Consolidation Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, following the Tranche Consolidation Date, a Sharing Event shall occur at any time when Euro Reference Rate Loans are outstanding hereunder on a non-pro rata basis among the Lenders by reason of the proviso in the first sentence of Section 2.06(a), then the Lenders shall effect sharing arrangements among themselves pursuant to this Section such that,

Credit Agreement

- 68 -

after giving effect thereto, each Lender shall hold an interest in all of the Revolving Loans (including such Euro Reference Rate Loans) made to the Borrowers and all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers hereunder at such time equal to such Lender’s Exchange Percentage thereof, and the provisions of this Section shall apply to such sharing arrangements, mutatis mutandis.

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and no Borrower shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of or obligations pursuant to any such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to

Credit Agreement

- 82 -

take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action at the direction of the requisite Lenders hereunder that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Group Members that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (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 IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition, if any, hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Credit Agreement

- 83 -

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent (and which may include any of its Affiliates). The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent (it being understood that each such sub-agent, by agreeing to act as a sub-agent hereunder, shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in such capacity in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment)), and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Company, appoint a successor; provided that if no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective on such 30^th day (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Upon the retirement or removal of the Administrative Agent hereunder, except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, as applicable, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. The

Credit Agreement

- 84 -

fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents named on the cover page of this Agreement shall not have any duties or liabilities under this Agreement, except in their capacity, if any, as Lenders.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding relating to a Borrower under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the relevant Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, obligations under Letters of Credit and all other obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 9.03. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.

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

(b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(iv) change Section 2.17(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender (or, prior to the Tranche Consolidation Date, each Lender under the affected Tranche);

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; or

(vi) release or terminate the obligations of the Company under Article X, so long as any Subsidiary Borrower is a party hereto or the Company has the right to so designate a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, without the consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender under this Agreement or all Lenders or each affected Lender under a Tranche may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than any Defaulting Lender), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement owing to any Defaulting Lender may not be reduced and the scheduled date of payment thereof may not be postponed, in each case, without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender under this Agreement or all Lenders or each affected Lender under a Tranche that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment);

(G) in order to comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, if at the time of an assignment by any Lender to any assignee other than an existing Lender there exists a Dutch Subsidiary Borrower party hereto, the interests being assigned by such Lender

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) Maintenance of Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.

(i) Participations Generally. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any other Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (D) no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 2.16 than such Participant would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender had such Participant acquired its interest pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision hereof or thereof; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that adversely affects such Participant. Subject to the foregoing and paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the parties hereto agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 and in the case of Section 2.16(e) and Section 2.16(h) subject to the same obligations to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit 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 Lender 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.

(ii) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17 than the relevant Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant (assuming the relevant Lender complied with its obligations under Section 2.16(e) or Section 2.16(h), as applicable), unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(e) or Section 2.16(h), as applicable, as though it were a Lender.

(d) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

The payment obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another Currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder.

The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and each Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

Schedule 9.01(a) to Credit Agreement

ANNEX I

Mandatory Cost Formula

1. The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of that Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.

3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that lending office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that lending office.

4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a lending office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(a)

in relation to a Loan in Pounds Sterling:


		AB + C(B – D) + E × 0.01		per cent per annum
		100 – (A + C)		per cent per annum

(b)

in relation to a Loan in any Currency other than Pounds Sterling:


E × 0.01		per cent per annum.
300		per cent per annum.

Where:

is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.

Mandatory Cost

is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Rate and the Mandatory Cost and, if the Loan is due and payable, the additional rate of interest specified in Section 2.12(d) for the relevant Interest Period on the Loan.

is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.

is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.

is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks (as defined in this Annex) to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5. For the purposes of this Annex:

(a) “Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;

(b) “Fees Rules” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the Financial Services Authority Fees Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;

(c) “Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate);

(d) “Reference Banks” means, collectively, the principal London offices of Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. or such other banks as may be appointed by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Company from time to time; and

(e) “Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.

6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 per cent will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.

Mandatory Cost

7. If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent, the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.

8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

(a)

the jurisdiction of its lending office; and

(b)

any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

9. The percentages of each Lender for the purpose of A and C above and the rates of charge of each Reference Bank for the purpose of E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits and Special Deposits are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a lending office in the same jurisdiction as its lending office.

10. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over or under compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender or Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

11. The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender and each Reference Bank pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.

12. Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Annex in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

Mandatory Cost

13. The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Company and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties hereto any amendments which are required to be made to this Annex in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
