(a) Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender on the Closing Date having a Term Commitment severally agrees to make a Term Loan to the U.S. Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not exceeding such Lender’s Term Commitment. Only one borrowing may be made under the Term Commitment, which shall be made on the Closing Date. Amounts repaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Each Lender’s Term Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such Lender’s Term Commitment on such date. As provided in Section 2.03(a), and subject to the terms hereof, the U.S. Borrower may elect that all or any part of the Term Loans be outstanding as ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans.

(b) Incremental Term Loans. At any time and from time to time, the U.S. Borrower may request that the Lenders (or other financial institutions agreed to by the U.S. Borrower) offer to enter into commitments to make additional term loans (each such loan being herein called an “Incremental Term Loan”) under this Section 2.01(b). In the event that one or more of the Lenders (or such other financial institutions) offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such commitments, and such Lenders (or financial institutions) and the U.S. Borrower agrees as to the amount of such commitments that shall be allocated to the respective Lenders (or financial institutions) making such offers and the fees (if any) to be payable by the U.S. Borrower in connection therewith, such Lenders (or financial institutions) shall become obligated to make Incremental Term Loans under this Agreement in an amount equal to the amount of their respective Incremental Term Commitments. The U.S. Borrower, such Lenders (or financial institutions) and the Administrative Agent shall enter into an agreement effecting such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this paragraph (b) (each such agreement being herein called an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”), without the consent of any Lender other than the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans. The Incremental Term Loans to be made pursuant to any Incremental Term Loan Amendment in response to any such request by the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to be a separate “Series” of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate any Lender to provide any Incremental Term Commitment or to obligate the U.S. Borrower to request an Incremental Term Commitment from any Lender. Incremental Term Loans will share in the Collateral under the Security Documents and the guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement to the same extent as the Term Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the following additional provisions shall be applicable to Incremental Term Loans:

(i) the aggregate number of separate Series of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to all such requests hereunder shall not exceed five, and the minimum aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Commitments of any Series entered

(iii) the maturity date for the Incremental Term Loans of any Series as specified in the Incremental Term Loan Amendment for such Series shall not be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date;

(iv) (a) the scheduled payments or repayments of principal of the Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall be as specified in the Incremental Term Loan Amendment for such Series (but Incremental Term Loans shall be entitled to participate in voluntary and mandatory prepayments on the same basis as existing Term Loans); and (b) the weighted average life to maturity of all Incremental Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of any other Incremental Term Loans or the Term Loans;

(v) any Series of Incremental Term Loans may be effected through an increase in the Term Loans, in which case (w) any Incremental Term Loan Lender not already a Term Lender hereunder shall become a Term Lender, (x) anything in Section 2.15(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, the initial Incremental Term Loans made under the respective Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall be made solely by the Incremental Term Loan Lenders executing such Incremental Term Loan Amendment (but thereafter the provisions of Section 2.15(c) shall be applicable to such Incremental Term Loans), (y) the initial Incremental Term Loans made under such Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall be either ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period ending on the last day of the earliest expiring then- outstanding Interest Period for Term Loans (so long as the same is at least one month after the date such Incremental Term Loans are made) and (z) as promptly as practicable following the making of such Incremental Term Loans (but in any event not later than the last day of such earliest-expiring then-outstanding Interest Period for Term Loans), such Incremental Term Loans shall be coordinated with all other Term Loans so that all outstanding Term Loans (including the portion thereof represented by Incremental Term Loans) of each Type are allocated ratably among the Term Lenders (including any Incremental Term Loan Lenders that have become Term Lenders) as required by Section 2.15(c);

(vi) the Margin for such Incremental Term Loans shall be the Margin set forth in the respective Incremental Term Loan Amendment; provided, that the Weighted Average Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall not be greater than the Weighted Average Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to the Term Loans or any other Series of Incremental Term Loan plus 0.50% per annum unless the interest rate with respect to the Term Loans or such other Incremental Term Loans is increased so as to cause the then applicable Weighted Average Yield under this Agreement on the Term Loans or such other Incremental Term Loans to equal the Weighted Average Yield then applicable to such Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50% per annum;

(vii) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Incremental Term Loans, the Parent and its Subsidiaries shall have demonstrated compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with each of the financial covenants in Section 6.11;

(viii) the terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Commitments and the Incremental Term Loans shall be identical to the Term Loans except as set forth in this Section 2.02(b) or as are reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent;

(ix) following the acceptance by the U.S. Borrower of the offers made by any one or more Lenders to make any Series of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (b), each Incremental Term Loan Lender in respect of such Series of Incremental Term Loans severally agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make such Incremental Term Loans to the U.S. Borrower during the period from and including the date of such acceptance to and including the commitment termination date specified in the Incremental Term Loan Amendment entered into with respect to such Series in an aggregate principal amount up to but not exceeding the amount of the Incremental Term Commitment of such Incremental Term Loan Lender in respect of such Series as in effect from time to time. Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the U.S. Borrower may convert Incremental Term Loans of such Series of one Type into Incremental Term Loans of such Series of another Type (as provided in Section 2.03) or continue Incremental Term Loans of such Series of one Type as Incremental Term Loans of such Series of the same Type (as provided in Section 2.03). Incremental Term Loans of any Series that are prepaid may not be reborrowed as Incremental Term Loans of the same Series;

(x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the U.S. Borrower’s notice of each request for Incremental Term Commitments; and

(xi) proceeds of Incremental Term Loans shall be available for any use permitted under the applicable provisions of Section 5.10.

(c) Obligations of Lenders. Each Term Loan and Incremental Term Loan of a particular Class (and, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, of a particular Series) shall be

made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans of such Class (and, if applicable, of such Series) made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class (and, if applicable, of such Series).

(d) Revolving Credit Facility. Prior to the Termination Date, each Lender with a Revolving Credit Facility Commitment severally and not jointly agrees, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make Revolving Facility Loans in Dollars to either Borrower from time to time up to the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment in effect at such time; provided, however, the sum of the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Exposure at any time outstanding shall not exceed the sum of all Revolving Facility Commitments in effect at such time. Each Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans shall be made ratably by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Facility Commitments. As provided in Section 2.03(a), and subject to the terms hereof, the Borrowers may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans be either ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Revolving Facility Loans may be repaid and reborrowed before the Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Facility Commitments unutilized at the end of the Availability Period for the Revolving Facility shall be immediately cancelled at that time.

(e) Increase of Revolving Facility.

(i) The Borrowers may by giving prior notice to the Administrative Agent after the effective date of a cancellation of:

(A) the Available Commitments of a Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.05(b); or

(B) the Revolving Facility Commitments of a Lender in accordance with Section 2.13(d).

request that the Total Revolving Facility Commitments be increased (and the Total Revolving Facility Commitments shall be so increased) in an aggregate amount of up to the amount of the Available Commitments or Revolving Facility Commitments so cancelled as follows:

(A) the increased Revolving Facility Commitments will be assumed by one or more Lenders or other Eligible Assignees (each an “Increase Lender”) selected by the Borrowers and each of which confirms in its sole discretion its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of a Lender corresponding to that part of the increased Revolving Facility Commitments which it is to assume, as if it had been an Original Lender;

(B) each of the Loan Parties and any Increase Lender shall assume obligations towards one another and/or acquire rights against one another as the Loan Parties and the Increase Lender would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;

(C) each Increase Lender shall become a Party as a “Lender” and any Increase Lender and each of the other Finance Parties shall assume

obligations towards one another and acquire rights against one another as that Increase Lender and those Finance Parties would have assumed and/or acquired had the Increase Lender been an Original Lender;

(D) the Revolving Facility Commitments of the other Lenders shall continue in full force and effect; and

(E) any increase in the Total Revolving Facility Commitments shall take effect on the date specified by the Borrowers in the notice referred to above or any later date on which the conditions set out in paragraph (b) below are satisfied.

(ii) An increase in the Total Revolving Facility Commitments in accordance with Section 2.01(e)(i) will only be effective on:

(A) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Increase Confirmation from the relevant Increase Lender; and

(B) in relation to an Increase Lender which is not a Lender immediately prior to the relevant increase, the performance by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself only) of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations in relation to the assumption of the increased Revolving Facility Commitments by that Increase Lender, the completion of which the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify to the U.S. Borrower, the Increase Lender and the Issuing Bank;

(iii) Each Increase Lender, by executing the Increase Confirmation, confirms (for the avoidance of doubt) that the Administrative Agent has authority to execute on its behalf any amendment or waiver that has been approved by or on behalf of the requisite Lender or Lenders in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date on which the increase becomes effective.

(iv) The Borrowers shall promptly on demand pay the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent the amount of all costs and expenses (including legal fees) reasonably incurred by either of them and, in the case of the Collateral Agent, by any Receiver or Delegate in connection with any increase in Revolving Facility Commitments under this Section 2.01(e).

(v) The Borrowers may pay to the Increase Lender a fee in the amount and at the times agreed between the Borrowers and the Increase Lender in a Fee Letter.

(f) Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments. At any time and from time to time prior to the Termination Date, the Borrowers may request that the Lenders (or other financial institutions agreed to by the Borrowers) enter into Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments under this paragraph (a). In the event that one or more of the Lenders (or such other financial institutions) offer, in their sole discretion, to enter into such commitments, and such Lenders (or financial institutions) and the Borrowers agree as to the amount of such commitments that shall be allocated to the respective Lenders (or financial institutions) making

such offers and the fees (if any) to be payable by the Borrowers in connection therewith, such Lenders (or financial institutions) shall become obligated to make Revolving Facility Loans (each, an “Incremental Revolving Facility Loan”) under this Agreement from time to time in an amount equal to the amount of their respective Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments (and such financial institutions shall become “Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders” hereunder). The Borrowers, such Lenders (or financial institutions) and the Administrative Agent shall enter into an agreement effecting such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this paragraph (each such agreement being herein called an “Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment”), without the consent of any Lender other than the Lenders providing such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate any Lender to provide any Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment or to obligate the Borrowers to request an Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment from any Lender. Incremental Revolving Facility Loans will share in the Collateral under the Security Documents and the guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement to the same extent as the Revolving Facility Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the following additional provisions shall be applicable to Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments:

(i) the aggregate number of separate requests hereunder to provide Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments shall not exceed five, and the minimum aggregate principal amount of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments entered into pursuant to any single such request shall be at least equal to $10,000,000; and

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Incremental Term Loan Commitments, all Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments and all outstanding Series of Incremental Term Loans (including any increase in Term Loans as provided in clause (v) of Section 2.01(b) above) shall not exceed the greater of (a) $125,000,000 and (b) the greatest amount such that, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments (and calculated as if all Revolving Facility Commitments and Incremental Term Loan Commitments are fully drawn), the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall not be greater than 2.75:1.00 as of the date of incurrence of such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments;

(iii) the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments and each Incremental Revolving Facility Loan made thereunder shall be made on the same terms as the existing Revolving Facility Commitments and Revolving Facility Loans and shall be documented solely as an increase to the Revolving Facility Commitments without any change in terms thereof;

(iv) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments, the Parent and its Subsidiaries shall have demonstrated compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with each of the financial covenants in Section 6.11; and

(v) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrowers’ notice of each request for Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments and in respect thereof (x) the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments and the Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders and (y) in the case of each notice to any Revolving Facility Loan Lender, the respective interests in such Revolving Facility Loan Lender’s Revolving Facility Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section 2.01(f).

(g) Reallocation Upon Incurrence of Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments. On any date on which Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.01(f) above, (i) each of the Lenders holding a Revolving Facility Commitment shall assign to each of the Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders, and each of the Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders holding a Revolving Facility Commitment, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Facility Loans outstanding, participations in outstanding Swing Loans and Letters of Credit and unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit on such date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Facility Loans, participations in outstanding Swing Loans and Letters of Credit and unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit will be held by existing Lenders holding Revolving Facility Commitments and Incremental Revolving Facility Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments to the Revolving Facility Commitments, (ii) each Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Facility Commitment and each Incremental Revolving Facility Loan shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Facility Loan and (c) each Incremental Revolving Facility Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

Section 2.02 Extension of Loans.

(a) The applicable Borrowers may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.02, agree with one or more Lenders (in such Lender’s sole discretion) holding Loans of any Class to extend the maturity date, and otherwise modify the economic terms of any such Class or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of any Loans of such Class or any portion thereof (each such modification an “Extension”) pursuant to one or more written offers (each an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the applicable Borrowers to all Lenders under any Class that is proposed to be extended under this Section 2.02, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the relative principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of each Lender in such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender. In connection with each Extension, the applicable Borrowers will provide notification to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders of the applicable Class), no later than 30 days prior to the maturity of the applicable Class or Classes to be extended of the requested new maturity date for the extended Loans of each such Class (each an “Extended Maturity Date”) and the due date for Lender responses. In connection with any Extension, each Lender of the applicable Class wishing, in its sole discretion, to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide Administrative

Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. After giving effect to any Extension, the Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans so extended shall cease to be a part of the Class they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension and shall be a new Class hereunder.

(b) Each Extension shall be subject to the following:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time any Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders or at the time of such Extension and the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Section 6.11 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter after giving effect to such Extension;

(ii) except as to interest rates, fees, scheduled amortization, final maturity date (which shall, subject to clause (iii) below, be determined by the applicable Borrowers and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable, of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension shall have the same terms as the Class of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable, subject to the related Extension Offer; provided, that the related Extension Offer may provide for other covenants and terms (x) that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date as of the effective date of the Extension Offer immediately prior to the establishment of Extension, or after approval thereof by the Required Lenders or (y) that are less favorable to the investors providing the Extension than the covenants and terms applicable to the existing Class); provided however, that at no time shall there be more than five different Classes of Term Loans, five different Classes of Incremental Term Loans or three different Classes of Revolving Facility Loans;

(iii) the final maturity date of any Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be later than the final maturity date of such Class, and the weighted average life to maturity of any Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans of a Class to be extended pursuant to an Extension shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Class;

(iv) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans of a Class in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as the case may be, of such Class offered to be extended by the applicable Borrowers pursuant to the relevant Extension Offer, then such Loans of such Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the relative principal amounts thereof (not to exceed any Lender’s actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders accepted such Extension Offer;

(v) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by the Borrower generally directed to the applicable Lenders under the applicable Class in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;

(vi) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition (as defined below) shall be satisfied; and

(vii) no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to an issuance of Incremental Term Loans being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension), and Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by a Financial Officer of U.S. Borrower.

(c) The consummation and effectiveness of any Extension will be subject to a condition set forth in the relevant Extension Offer (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) that a minimum amount (to be determined in the applicable Borrowers’ discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer, but in no event less than $25,000,000, unless another amount is agreed to by Administrative Agent). For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 2.15(c) and (d) and Section 9.02 will not apply to Extensions of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable, pursuant to Extension Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.02, including to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable, that have been extended pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Loans of any other Class, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.

(d) No Lender who rejects any request for an Extension shall be deemed a Non-Consenting Lender for purposes of Section 2.13(f)(ii).

(e) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order establish new Classes of Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Facility Loans, as applicable, created pursuant to an Extension, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.02. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions, the appropriate Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage (or any other Loan Document that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent reasonably requests to be amended to reflect an Extension) that has a maturity date prior to the latest Extended Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest Extended Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to Administrative Agent).

(f) In connection with any Extension, the applicable Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent at least ten Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any,

as may be reasonably established by, or acceptable to, Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.02.

Section 2.03 Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates.

(a) Notice to the Administrative Agent. The applicable Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than 12:00 noon (Cincinnati time): (i) at least 3 Business Days before the date on which such Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) at least one Business Day before such Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of ABR Loans. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the Type of rate specified in such notice. Thereafter, such Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the Type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to Section 2.04, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrowers may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into ABR Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of ABR Loans, on any Business Day, the applicable Borrowers may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the applicable Borrowers. The applicable Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by email (with a .pdf copy of the applicable fully-executed notice), telephone, or telecopy (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O (Notice of Borrowing) or Exhibit P (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 12:00 noon (Cincinnati time) at least 3 Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the Type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The applicable Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such email, telephonic or telecopy notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation (the Borrowers hereby indemnify the Administrative Agent from any liability or loss ensuing from such reliance) and, in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon. 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 U.S. Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and, unless repaid, each

Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Periodapplicable thereto. Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Types and (if applicable) durations of Interest Periods for the initial Borrowings hereunder shall be as specified in the Notice of Borrowing delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(p).

(b) Borrowers’ Failure to Notify; Automatic Continuations and Conversions. If the applicable Borrowers fail to give proper Notice of Continuation/Conversion of any outstanding Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 2.03(a), and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 2.10(a), such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of ABR Loans. In the event the applicable Borrowers fail to give notice pursuant to Section 2.03 of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a L/C Disbursement and has not notified the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (Cincinnati time) on the day reimbursement for such L/C Disbursement becomes due that it intends to repay such L/C Disbursement through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, upon the written request of the applicable Issuing Bank with evidence of such L/C Disbursement satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility on such day in the amount of the L/C Disbursement then due, which Borrowing, if otherwise available hereunder, shall be made available to the respective Issuing Bank to be applied to pay the L/C Disbursement then due.

(c) Funding and Disbursement of Loans. Except for Term Loans funded on the Closing Date, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Cincinnati time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to Article IV, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Administrative Agent in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Original Lender with respect to the Term Loans shall make the proceeds of the Borrowing of the Term Loans on the Closing Date available to the U.S. Borrower in a manner determined by the U.S. Borrower and such Original Lender. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that, any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Lender shall not be entitled to any amounts payable under Section 2.13(b) or Section 2.14 in respect of increased costs or Taxes to the extent such amounts result from such exercise and exceed such amounts as would be payable under Section 2.13(b) or Section 2.14 to such Lender in the absence of such exercise. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans available to the U.S. Borrower in a manner determined by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent and each new Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans made on or after the seventh Business Day after the Closing Date available to the applicable Borrower in an account in the name of such Borrower with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans made or or after the Closing Date and prior to the seventh Business Day after the Closing Date available to the applicable Borrower in a manner determined by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date on which such Lender is scheduled to make available to the Administrative Agent of its share of a Borrowing (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such share available, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with Section 2.03 when due and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (but shall not be required to) make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount (each such advance, a “Disproportionate Advance”) and, if any Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, make available to the Administrative Agent the Disproportionate Advance attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such Disproportionate Advance was made available to the applicable Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender makes available such Disproportionate Advance to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the Disproportionate Advance was made by the Administrative Agent to the date 2 Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the greater of, for each such day, (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) an overnight rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any standard administrative or processing fees charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with such Lender’s non-payment and (ii) from the date 2 Business Days after the date such share of the applicable Borrowing is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans in effect for each such day. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the applicable Borrowers will, promptly following written demand from the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Disproportionate Advance with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section 2.10 so that the applicable Borrowers will have no liability under such Section with respect to such payment. If the applicable Borrowers and such Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the applicable Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the applicable Borrowers under this Section shall be without prejudice to any claim the applicable Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to comply with any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 2.04 Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Eurodollar Loans.

Each Borrowing of ABR Loans shall be in an amount not less than $500,000 or such greater amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans advanced, continued or converted shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or such greater amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000. Without the Administrative Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than fifteen (15) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding at any one time.

Section 2.05 Commitment Terminations.

(a) Voluntary. The U.S. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon 3 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments of any Class in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (a) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or any greater amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and (b) allocated ratably among the Lenders in accordance to their respective applicable Commitments, provided that the aggregate Revolving Facility Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate amount of Revolving Facility Exposure then outstanding. Any termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments below the L/C Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the L/C Sublimit by a like amount, but the L/C Sublimit shall not otherwise be reduced as a result of any partial termination of Revolving Facility Commitments. Any termination of the Revolving Facility Commitments below the Swing Loan Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the Swing Loan Sublimit by a like amount, but the Swing Loan Sublimit shall not otherwise be reduced as a result of any partial termination of Revolving Facility Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination of Commitments. Any termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) may not be reinstated.

(b) Right of Cancellation in relation to a Defaulting Lender.

(i) If any Lender under the Revolving Facility becomes a Defaulting Lender, the U.S. Borrower may, at any time whilst the Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender, give the Administrative Agent three Business Days’ notice of cancellation of each Available Commitment of that Lender.

(ii) On the notice referred to in paragraph (i) above becoming effective, each Available Commitment of the Defaulting Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable after receipt of a notice referred to in paragraph (i) above, notify all the Lenders.

Section 2.06 Swing Loans

(a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Facility, the Administrative Agent agrees to make Swing Loans in Dollars to each Borrower which shall not in the aggregate at any time outstanding exceed the Swing Loan Sublimit; provided, however, the sum of the aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure at any time outstanding shall not exceed the sum of all Revolving Facility Commitments in effect at such time. The Swing Loans may be availed of by the Borrowers from time to time and borrowings thereunder may be repaid and used again during the period ending on the Termination Date; provided that each Swing Loan matures and is due and payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each Swing Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000.

(b) Interest on Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the

Alternate Base Rate plus the Margin for ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility as from time to time in effect. Interest on each Swing Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto.

(c) Requests for Swing Loans. The applicable Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior notice (which may be written or oral), no later than 12:00 p.m. (Cincinnati time) on the date upon which such Borrower requests that any Swing Loan be made, of the amount and date of such Swing Loan, and the Interest Period requested therefor. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of such Swing Loan shall be made available to the applicable Borrower on the date so requested at an account in the name of the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make more than one Swing Loan during any one day.

(d) Refunding of Swing Loans. In its sole and absolute discretion, the Administrative Agent may at any time on behalf of the Borrowers (and the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to act on their behalf for such purpose) and with notice to the U.S. Borrower, request each Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment to make a Revolving Facility Loan in the form of an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments) of the amount of the Swing Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless an Event of Default described in clauses (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII exists, regardless of the existence of any other Event of Default, each Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment shall make the proceeds of its requested Revolving Facility Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Cincinnati, Ohio, before 12:00 Noon (Cincinnati time) on the Business Day following the day such notice is given in accordance with their Revolving Facility Commitments. The proceeds of such Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the outstanding Swing Loans.

(e) Participations. If any Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment refuses or otherwise fails to make a Revolving Facility Loan when requested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(d) above (because an Event of Default described in clauses (h), (i) or (j) of Article VII exists), such Lender will, by the time and in the manner such Revolving Facility Loan was to have been funded to the Administrative Agent, purchase from the Administrative Agent an undivided participating interest in the outstanding Swing Loans in an amount equal to its ratable share in accordance with its Revolving Facility Commitment of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Facility Loans; provided that the foregoing purchases shall be deemed made hereunder without any further action by such Lender or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender that so purchases a participation in a Swing Loan shall thereafter be entitled to receive its ratable share in accordance with its Revolving Facility Commitment of each payment of principal received on the Swing Loan and of interest received thereon accruing from the date such Lender funded to the Administrative Agent its participation in such Loan. The several obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Lender may have or have had against either Borrower, any other Lender or any other Person whatever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or

termination of the Revolving Facility Commitment of any Lender, and each payment made by a Lender under this Section shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

Section 2.07 Evidence of Debt.

(a) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the applicable Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) Maintenance of Records by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the applicable Borrowers of such Loan, the Class and Type thereof (and, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, the respective Series thereof) and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Presumptions of Records. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) 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 accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, (i) with respect to Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, the U.S. Borrower, and (ii) with respect to the Revolving Facility Loans, the Borrowers, shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (each a “Note”) payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.

Section 2.08 Scheduled Repayment of Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans. The U.S. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (a) for the account of each Term Lender (i) 0.25% of the principal amount of the Term Loans on the Closing Date on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing with the first full fiscal quarter that commences after the Closing Date), and (ii) the remainder of the principal amount of the Term Loans on the Term Maturity Date and (b) subject to Section 2.01(b)(v), for the account of each Incremental Term Loan Lender of any Series the principal amount of the Incremental Tern Loans of such Series held by such Lender on the amortization and maturity dates therefor set forth in the respective Incremental Term Loan Amendment for such Series.

Section 2.09 Repayment of Revolving Facility Loans and Swing Loans. Each Revolving Facility Loan and Swing Loan, both for principal and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall mature and become due and payable by the Borrowers on the Termination Date.

Section 2.10 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The applicable Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, except as provided in clause (h) of this Section 2.10 and in Section 2.13(c), subject to the requirements of this Section. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to this Section shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers in the applicable notice of prepayment.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment upon Prepayment Events.

(i) On each occasion on which any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Parent, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event of the types referred to in clauses (a), (b) and (d) of the definition thereof, the applicable Borrowers shall, within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received (or such later period after which the receipt thereof constitutes a Prepayment Event), prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds, in accordance with Section 2.10(f), provided that (i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the case of any event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event, no mandatory prepayments in respect of any such event shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) in any single fiscal year until the date on which the Net Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory prepayments in the absence of this proviso equals or exceeds $2,000,000 for such fiscal year and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the case of any event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event, no mandatory prepayments in respect of any such event shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) in any single fiscal year until the date on which the Net Proceeds required to be applied as mandatory prepayments in the absence of this proviso equals or exceeds $2,000,000 for such fiscal year.

(ii) On each occasion on which any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Parent, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event of the type referred to in clause (c) of the definition thereof, the applicable Borrowers shall, within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received (or such later period after which the receipt thereof constitutes a Prepayment Event), prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of such Net Proceeds and (y) the amount necessary so that the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, calculated on a Pro Forma Basis (and calculated without deducting from Senior Secured Debt any of the cash proceeds of the Specified Sale that will be dividended or distributed by Parent pursuant to Section 6.07(a)(xi)), is no greater after giving effect to such Specified Sale than it was immediately prior to such Specified Sale, in accordance with Section 2.10(f).

(c) Mandatory Prepayment of Excess Cash Flow. The applicable Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(f) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of Parent commencing with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2012, in an aggregate amount equal to (i) the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and the Subsidiaries (A) in the case of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, during the period from July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and (B) in the case of any other fiscal year, during such fiscal year, minus (ii) the aggregate amount of voluntary prepayments (if any) of Loans (with a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Facility Commitments, if applicable) made during such fiscal period pursuant to paragraph (a) above.

(d) Mandatory Prepayment upon Reduction of Revolving Facility Commitments. The Borrowers shall, on each date the Revolving Facility Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.05(a), prepay the Revolving Facility Loans and, if necessary, Swing Loans and, if necessary, collateralize the L/C Exposure with cash and/or customary back-to-back letters of credit in a manner satisfactory to the Issuing Banks with L/C Exposure by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the aggregate Revolving Facility Exposure to the amount to which the Revolving Facility Commitments have been so reduced.

(e) Notices of Prepayment, Etc. The U.S. Borrower shall inform and notify the Administrative Agent in writing by telecopy (or by electronic mail (with a .pdf copy of the applicable notice)) of any voluntary prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. The U.S. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing by telecopy (or by electronic mail (with a .pdf copy of the applicable notice)) of any mandatory prepayment hereunder not less than three Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable (other than with respect to mandatory prepayments, to the extent the applicable event does not occur) and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.04, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.

(f) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. (i) Any prepayment of Loans required to be made in any amount pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of Section 2.10 shall be applied as follows:

First, to the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans, ratably in accordance with the respective principal amounts thereof, and further applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled payments of principal on such Loans; and

Second, to the Revolving Facility Loans and the unpaid L/C Disbursements, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof, except that (i) until the

Revolving Facility Loans have been paid in full, the portion thereof that would otherwise be applied to the unpaid L/C Disbursements shall instead be applied to Revolving Facility Loans and (ii) any application of such amounts to Revolving Facility Loans or unpaid L/C Disbursements shall be without reduction of Revolving Facility Commitments (unless otherwise elected by the U.S. Borrower in a notice delivered at the time of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(e)).

Prepayments of Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans shall be applied first to ABR Loans and second to Eurodollar Loans (applied to Eurodollar Loans with Interest Periods in the order in which the respective Interest Periods therefor shall end).

Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount paid to but excluding the date of payment and any amounts payable under Section 2.10(h) below and under Section 2.13(c) as a result of such prepayment.

(g) Application of Proceeds after an Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Article VII, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of (x) any collection or sale of, or other realization upon, any Collateral and any Collateral consisting of cash and (y) any payments or proceeds received by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent with respect to any obligation under the Guarantee Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Obligations, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and indemnities incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and outside legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution) including, without limitation, the Cash Collateralization of all outstanding Letters of Credit; and

THIRD, to the Loan Parties, their successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

(h) Repricing Event Premium. In the event that all or any portion of the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans are (i) repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced or (ii) repriced or effectively refinanced through any waiver, consent or amendment (in each case, in connection with any waiver, consent or amendment to the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans directed at, or the result of which would be, the lowering of the effective interest cost or the Weighted Average Yield of the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans or the incurrence of any debt financing having an effective interest cost or Weighted Average Yield that is less than the effective interest cost or Weighted Average Yield of the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans (or portion thereof) so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced (a “Repricing Transaction”)) occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement or repricing will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced. If all or any portion of the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by any Lender is repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced pursuant to a “yank-a-bank” or similar provision in the Loan Documents as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent or amendment referred to in clause (ii) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such repayment, prepayment, refinancing or replacement will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced.

Section 2.11 Applicable Interest Rates.

(a) ABR Loans. Each ABR Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or created by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan until, but excluding, the date of repayment or conversion thereof at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Margin plus the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, continued or created by conversion from a ABR Loan until, but excluding, the date of repayment or conversion thereof at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Margin plus the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable for such Interest Period.

(c) Post Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under ARTICLE VII(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j), if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, all overdue amounts hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (y) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in this Section 2.11(c); provided that, this Section 2.11(c) shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.02 (to the extent such waiver so expressly provides). Any interest accruing under this Section 2.11(c) shall be immediately payable on demand by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable by the applicable Borrowers in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Term Loan or any Eurodollar Revolving Facility Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion, and (iv) interest on each Loan shall be payable on the maturity date therefore (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(e) Basis of Computation. All interest hereunder and fees payable under Sections 2.12(b) and (c) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.12 Fees.

(a) Administrative Agent Fees. From and including the Closing Date, the Borrowers agree to pay Fifth Third Bank, as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to the Fee Letter between them), including any fees provided for therein that are payable upon the Closing Date.

(b) Commitment Fee.

(i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of each Lender) a fee in Dollars computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on that Lender’s daily average Available Commitment under the Revolving Facility for the Availability Period applicable to the Revolving Facility.

the Margin applicable to a Eurodollar Revolving Facility Loan) on the outstanding amount of each Letter of Credit requested by the Borrowers for the period from the issue of that Letter of Credit until its Expiry Date or cancellation. This fee shall be distributed according to each Lender’s L/C Proportion of that Letter of Credit.

(iii) The accrued fronting fee and Letter of Credit fee shall be payable on the last the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December. The accrued fronting fee and Letter of Credit fee is also payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any applicable Lender on the cancelled amount of such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment at the time the cancellation is effective.

(iv) The Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Bank (for its own account) an issuance/administration fee in the amount and at the times specified in a Fee Letter.

(v) The Borrowers shall pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account such Issuing Bank’s standard drawing, negotiation, amendment, transfer and other administrative fees for each Letter of Credit. Such standard fees referred to in the preceding sentence may be established by each respective Issuing Bank from time to time.

Section 2.13 Changes in Circumstances and Contingencies.

(a) Unavailablity of Eurodollar Borrowings. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that Dollar deposits in the London interbank market are not available in the amount of such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower and the affected Lenders by telecopy as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the U.S. Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Notice of Conversion/Continuation that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(b) Increased Costs.

(i) Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account

of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

(B) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other material condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Eurodollar Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), in each case by an amount deemed material by such Lender, then in accordance with clause (c) below, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. This Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.14.

(ii) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such 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 or Swing Loans held by such Lender or Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), in each case by an amount deemed material by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, then in accordance with clause (c) below, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(iii) Certificates for Reimbursement. If any Lender or Issuing Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section shall be delivered to the U.S. Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(iv) Delay in Request for Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this

Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies the U.S. Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such 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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.13(b) shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any United States regulatory authority (i) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

(c) Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment (including, without limitation, any mandatory prepayment) of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of (i) a request by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(f) or (ii) any assignment in connection with a reallocation under Section 2.01(g), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event.

In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender (it being understood that the deemed amount shall not exceed the actual amount) to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. 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 U.S. Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Illegality. If it becomes unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction for a Lender to perform any of its obligations as contemplated by this Agreement or to fund, issue or maintain its participation in any Borrowing of Revolving Facility Loans:

(i) that Lender, shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of that event;

(ii) upon the Administrative Agent notifying the U.S. Borrower, the Revolving Facility Commitment of that Lender will be immediately cancelled; and

(iii) the Borrowers shall repay that Lender’s Loans made to the Borrowers, together with all other Obligations owing to such Lender, on the last day of the Interest Period for each Borrowing occurring after the Administrative Agent has notified the U.S. Borrower or, if earlier, the date specified by the Lender in the notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (being no earlier than the last day of any applicable grace period permitted by law), together with all break funding costs in accordance with Section 2.13(c) above.

(e) Replacement of a Defaulting Lender.

(i) The U.S. Borrower may, at any time a Lender under the Revolving Facility has become and continues to be a Defaulting Lender, by giving three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, require such Lender to (and such Lender shall) transfer pursuant to Section 9.04 all (and not part only) of its rights and obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility, to a Lender or other Eligible Assignee (a “Replacement Lender”) selected by the U.S. Borrower reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, which confirms its willingness to assume and does assume all the obligations of the transferring Lender (including the assumption of the transferring Lender’s participations or unfunded participations (as the case may be) on the same basis as the transferring Lender) for a purchase price in cash payable at the time of transfer equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loans and all accrued interest, accrued commitment fees and/or Letter of Credit fees, amounts due pursuant to Section 2.13(c) and all other amounts payable in relation thereto under the Loan Documents, in each case subject to the provisions thereof regarding Defaulting Lenders.

(ii) Any transfer of rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall be subject to the following conditions:

(A) the U.S. Borrower shall have no right to replace the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent;

(B) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Defaulting Lender shall have any obligation to the U.S. Borrower to find a Replacement Lender; and

(C) in no event shall the Defaulting Lender be required to pay or surrender to the Replacement Lender any of the fees received by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f) Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders; Cancellation of Single Revolving Facility Lender or Issuing Bank.

(i) Designation of New Lending Office. Prior to any Lender or any Issuing Bank requesting compensation under Section 2.13(b), or the Borrowers paying any additional amount to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.14, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s applicable legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13(b) or Section 2.14, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(ii) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.13(b), or if either Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) shall decline to consent to any modification or waiver hereunder requiring 100% of the Lenders affected thereby (or of an affected Class or of the type set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 9.02(b)) to consent thereto and, in each case, the Required Lenders have already consented thereto, then the applicable Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written 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); provided that such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including the amounts payable in accordance with Section 2.10(h), if any), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts). No action or consent by such Lender shall be necessary in connection with such assignment, which shall be immediately and automatically effective upon receipt by the applicable Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13(f)(ii). The Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption on behalf of such Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption so executed by the Administrative Agent and the assignee shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13(f)(ii) and Section 9.04. 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 U.S. Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(iii) Right of Cancellation and Repayment in Relation to a Single Lender with respect to the Revolving Facility or Issuing Bank.

(A) If:

(I) any sum payable to any Lender by a Loan Party with respect to the Revolving Facility is required to be increased under Section 2.14; or

(II) any Lender or Issuing Bank claims indemnification with respect to the Revolving Facility from the Parent or Loan Party under Section 2.13(b),

(III) the U.S. Borrower may, whilst the circumstance giving rise to the requirement for that increase or indemnification continues, give the Administrative Agent notice:

(X) (if such circumstances relate to a Lender) of cancellation of the Revolving Facility Commitment of that Lender and its intention to procure the repayment of that Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and participation in the Letters of Credit and Swing Loans; or

(Y) (if such circumstances relate to the Issuing Bank) of repayment of any outstanding Letter of Credit issued by it and cancellation of its appointment as an Issuing Bank under this Agreement in relation to any Letters of Credit to be issued in the future.

(B) On receipt of a notice referred to in paragraph (a) above in relation to a Lender, the Revolving Facility Commitment of that Lender shall immediately be reduced to zero.

(C) On the last day of each Interest Period which ends after the U.S. Borrower has given notice under paragraph (a) above in relation to a Lender (or, if earlier, the date specified by the U.S. Borrower in that notice), each Borrower to which a Revolving Credit Loan is outstanding shall repay that Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan together with all interest and other amounts accrued under the Loan Documents.

(g) General Terms Relating To Defaulting Lenders.

(i) 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:

(A) 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.

(B) 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 2.15(d) 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 and the Collateral Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the maker of Swing Loans hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize contingent funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the U.S. Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and to be released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and Cash Collateralize contingent funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of participation in any future Swing Loan or future Letter of Credit; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent against that Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers 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 Loans or L/C Exposure in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Exposure owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their ratable interests in the applicable Facility prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Exposure owed to such Defaulting Lender. 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 pursuant to this Section 2.13(g) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(I) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee under Section 2.12(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(II) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Letter of Credit fee under Section 2.12(d) and amounts owed to it in respect of participating interest in Swing Loans under Section 2.06(e) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share (based on its interest in the Revolving Facility) of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and participating interests in Swing Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.13(h).

(III) With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (I) or (II) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (D) below, (y) pay to the Administrative Agent as the maker of Swing Loans and to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to, as appropriate, the Administrative Agent’s or such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(D) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata interest in the applicable Facility (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s applicable Commitment) but only to the extent that (I) the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 are satisfied at such time (and, unless the U.S. Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at the time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (II) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

(E) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (D) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, within 3 Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash Collateralize

such Defaulting Lender’s interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (D) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13(h) for so long as such interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are outstanding.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Banks agree in writing in their reasonable discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Parties, 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), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their applicable pro rata interests in the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.13(g)(i)(D)), 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.

(iii) New Swing Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the maker of Swing Loans shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after effect to such Swing Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(h) Cash Collateral. Within one Business Day following the request of the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank, at any time required under this Agreement, including as required by Section 2.10(d), Section 2.13(g), Section 2.17(b) and Article VII, and at any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver Cash Collateral to the Collateral Agent in an amount sufficient to cover the amount required hereunder, and, in the event that a Defaulting Lender exists, in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.13(g)(i)(D) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender, if applicable) with respect to such Defaulting Lender.

(i) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be held by the Collateral Agent in one or more separate collateral accounts (each such account, and the credit balances, properties, and any investments from time to time held therein, and any substitutions for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”). The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, for the

benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Banks. If and when requested by the U.S. Borrower, the Collateral Agent, shall invest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one year or less, provided that the the Collateral Agent, is irrevocably authorized to sell investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral Account for application to amounts due and owing from the Borrowers to the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in the Collateral Account, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided (other than Permitted Liens), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than required hereunder, including any applicable Fronting Exposure, the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender, if applicable, will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.10(d) or Section 2.13(g), Section 2.13(h), Section 2.17(b) or Article VII or any other Section hereof in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Loans, shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Exposure, Swing Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(iii) Release. (i) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure shall be released promptly following the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii), if such Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) is not provided in connection with a Defaulting Lender, Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) shall be released promptly after (A) the Borrowers shall have made payment of all such Obligations giving rise to the required Cash Collateral, and (B) no Letters of Credit, Commitments, Loans or other Obligations remain outstanding hereunder, and (iii) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) shall be released promptly following the Administrative Agent’s or the applicable Issuing Bank’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.13(h) may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 2.10(g)), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the

Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Obligations hereunder, including Fronting Exposure.

Section 2.14 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party with respect to any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that, if applicable law requires any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to be withheld by a Loan Party or any applicable withholding agent from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required withholding and deductions (including withholdings and deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent or Lender (which term shall include each Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.14), as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, other than Luxembourg stamp duties and Taxes which are payable as a result of registration, submission or filing made by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank where such filing is not necessary for the execution, performance or enforcement of the Loan Documents.

(c) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.14(a), each Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 20 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than those resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Administrative Agent, or such Lender, as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 a Loan Party by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Taxes withheld or deducted from any payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Loan Party 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.

(e) Documentation. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which either Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable requirements of law and reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable requirements of law and any other information as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) (or if such Foreign 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 U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and, in any case, prior to receipt of any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly completed and signed originals of either IRS Form W-8BEN, claiming benefits of an applicable income tax treaty (or any substitute or successor thereto), or IRS Form W-8ECI (or any substitute or successor thereto) or such other evidence satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case, establishing that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including, in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code. In the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, the Foreign Lender (or if such Foreign 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 U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent IRS Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender (or if such Foreign 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) is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of either Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 88l(c)(3)(C) of the Code and that any interest being received is not effectively connected income. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or any substitute or successor thereto) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid or reduce, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (B) promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder 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 this Section 2.14 and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender, as the case may be, to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(i) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to (or is subject to a reduced rate of) U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any substitute or successor thereto), together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code.

(ii) No Loan Party shall be required to pay any additional amount to any Lender if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14(e); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this Section 2.14(e) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 2.14(e) shall relieve any Loan Party of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 2.14 to such Lender or the Person for the account of which such Lender is receiving any sum payable under any of the Loan Documents in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender or the Person for the account of which such Lender is receiving any sum payable under any of the Loan Documents is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.

(iii) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Domestic Lender”) (or if such Domestic 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 U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and, in any case, prior to receipt of any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly completed and signed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor thereto). If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may

withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code.

(f) Indemnification for Withholding Taxes. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and any related costs and expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(g) Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or former Lender) determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (or credit in lieu of cash refund) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, in each case from the Government Authority imposing such Taxes, it shall pay over such refund or credit to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party 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 or such Lender (or former Lender) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or former Lender), agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any interest to the extent accrued from the date such refund is paid over to the Loan Party) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or former Lender) in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or former Lender) is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) Other Amounts. The Administrative Agent may withhold any Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which the Borrowers are not required to pay additional amounts under Section 2.14(e).

(i) FATCA Requirements. 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 U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers 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 (i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(j) VAT.

(i) All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any Party to a Finance Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to clause (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party to any Party under a Loan Document and such Finance Party is required to account for the VAT, that Party shall pay to the Finance Party (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Finance Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such Party), provided, that the Party shall, instead of paying such amount to the Finance Party, pay the appropriate amount of VAT directly to the competent taxing authority if and to the extent a reverse charge procedure provided by article 196 of EC Directive 2006/112 applies according to which the recipient of the supply owes the VAT to the taxing authority.

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Finance Party (the “Supplier”) to any other Finance Party (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and any Party other than the Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration), such Party shall also pay to the Supplier (if such Supplier is required to account for the VAT) or the Recipient (if the Recipient is required to account for the VAT) (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT.

(iii) Where a Loan Document requires any Party to reimburse or indemnify a Finance Party for any cost or expense, that Party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Finance Party for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT (if any), provided (i) the invoice of the third party is formally addressed to the Party and (ii) the Finance Party does not issue any invoice to that Party for the reimbursement of these costs and expenses, save to the extent that such Finance Party reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(iv) Any reference in this Section 2.14(j) to any Party shall, at any time when such Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the Person who is treated as making the supply, or (as appropriate) receiving the supply, under the

grouping rules (as provided for in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC (or as implemented by a Member State)).

Section 2.15 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.14, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, Cincinnati time), on the date when due, in Dollars in immediately available funds, without setoff 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 its offices at Cincinnati, Ohio, except that payments pursuant to Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c), Section 2.14 and Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document 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. All payments under each Loan Document with shall be made in Dollars.

(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, interest and fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees and other amounts then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees and other amounts then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a particular Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be made from the relevant Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.12(c) shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders, and each cancellation or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a particular Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans) under Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to the respective Commitments of such Class of the relevant Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of any Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Revolving Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans) or their respective Revolving Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of such Class that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Revolving Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment by

the Borrowers of principal of Revolving Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of a particular Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of such Class held by them; and (iv) each payment by the Borrowers of interest on Revolving Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of a particular Class (including of a particular Series of Incremental Term Loans) shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans then due and payable 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 Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans 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 Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans 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 Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, 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 Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Facility Loans, Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof or any other Person prohibited from being an Eligible Assignee or participant, as the case may be, under this Agreement from time to time (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the U.S. Borrower prior to the date on which any payment with respect to the Facilities is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, but is not obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such 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,

at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(c), Section 2.15(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.16 U.S. Borrower as Agent for the Loan Parties.

(a) Each Loan Party (other than the U.S. Borrower) by its execution of this Agreement or the Guarantee Agreement irrevocably appoints the U.S. Borrower to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Loan Documents and irrevocably authorizes:

(i) the U.S. Borrower on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions (including, in the case of a Borrower, Notice of Borrowing and Notices of Continuation/Conversion), to execute on its behalf any supplement, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by that Loan Party notwithstanding that they may affect that Loan Party, without further reference to or the consent of that Loan Party; and

(ii) each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Loan Party pursuant to the Loan Documents to the U.S. Borrower,

and in each case the Loan Party shall be bound as though the Loan Party itself had given the notices and instructions (including, without limitation, any Notice of Borrowing and Notices of Continuation/Conversion) or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.

(b) Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by the U.S. Borrower or given to the U.S. Borrower under any Loan Document on behalf of another Loan Party or in connection with any Loan Document (whether or not known to any other Loan Party and whether occurring before or after such other Loan Party became a Loan Party under any Loan Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Loan Party as if that Loan Party had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the U.S. Borrower and any other Loan Party, those of the U.S. Borrower shall prevail.

(c) For the purposes of this Section 2.16, each Loan Party incorporated in Poland hereby releases U.S. Borrower from the restrictions of Article 108 of the Polish Civil Code.

Section 2.17 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Facility, each Issuing Bank shall issue standby Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower in Dollars or an Optional Currency approved by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum aggregate undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Sublimit, and the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure at any time outstanding shall not exceed the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time. Each Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment shall be obligated to purchase Participating Interests (as provided by Section 2.17(d) below) from each respective Issuing Bank equal to such Lender’s ratable share (based on interests in the Revolving Facility) of the amount of each L/C Disbursement under a Letter of Credit and, accordingly, each Letter of Credit shall constitute usage of the Revolving Facility Commitment of each Lender pro rata in an amount equal to its ratable share (based on interests in the Revolving Facility) of the Dollar Equivalent of the L/C Exposure then outstanding. Without the Administrative Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than fifteen (15) Letters of Credit outstanding at any time.

(b) Applications. At any time before the Termination Date, the applicable Issuing Bank shall, at the request of the U.S. Borrower, issue one or more Letters of Credit, with Expiry Dates no later than the earlier of 12 months from the date of issuance (or which are cancelable not later than 12 months from the date of issuance and each renewal) or 10 days prior to the Termination Date (unless the Borrowers agree to provide Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 102% of the face amount of the applicable Letter of Credit) in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.13(h) as security for such Letter of Credit no fewer than ten Business Days prior to the Termination Date) in an aggregate face amount as set forth above in Section 2.17(a), upon the receipt of a duly executed application for the relevant Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by the applicable Issuing Bank for the Letter of Credit requested (each an “Application”). Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary: (i) the Borrowers shall pay fees in connection with each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.12(d), and (ii) if the Issuing Bank is not timely reimbursed for the amount of any L/C Disbursement on the date of such L/C Disbursement, the Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such L/C Disbursement shall bear interest (which the Borrowers hereby promise to pay) from and after the date of such L/C Disbursement at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Margin for Revolving Facility Loans that are ABR Loans plus the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect (computed on the basis of a year of 365 (or 366 days in a leap year), and the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day)); provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under ARTICLE VII(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j), the interest on such drawing shall be equal to the foregoing rate per annum plus 2.0%; provided further that the foregoing proviso shall not apply to any Event of Default that has been waived by the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.02 (to the extent such waiver so expressly provides). Without limiting the foregoing, the Issuing Banks’ obligation to issue, amend or extend the Expiry Date of a Letter of Credit is subject to the terms or conditions of this Agreement (including the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 and the other terms of this Section 2.17)

(c) The Reimbursement Obligations. Subject to Section 2.17(b), the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Bank for all L/C Disbursements shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter of Credit and this Agreement; provided that, any grant of a security interest pursuant to any Application shall be null and void. The Borrowers shall pay the Issuing Bank for each L/C Disbursement by no later than 3:00 p.m. (Cincinnati time) on the date of such L/C Disbursement if the U.S. Borrower has been informed of such drawing by the Issuing Bank on or before 10:00 a.m. (Cincinnati time) on the date of such L/C Disbursement or, if notice of such L/C Disbursement is given to the U.S. Borrower after 10:00 a.m. (Cincinnati time) on the date of such L/C Disbursement, by 12:00 Noon on the following Business Day, in all instances in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement and in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Cincinnati, Ohio or such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the U.S. Borrower, and the Administrative Agent shall thereafter cause to be distributed to the Issuing Bank such Dollar amount(s) in like funds. If the Borrowers do not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Lenders fund their participations in the manner set forth in Section 2.17(d) below, then all payments thereafter received by the Administrative Agent in discharge of any of the relevant L/C Disbursements shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2.17(d) below. In addition, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, and each Lender, the Borrowers agree that its obligations under this Section 2.17(c) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Applications therefor, under all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of any claim or defense that the Borrowers may otherwise have against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document; (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Loan Document; (iii) the existence of any claim, of set-off the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom a beneficiary may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, another Loan Document, the transaction related to the Loan Document or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (v) payment by the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation to the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, or (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.17(c), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder or under an Application. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or any Issuing Bank shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the

Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank or its employee or agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the Parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, may 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.

(d) The Participating Interests. Each Lender under the Revolving Facility (other than the Lender acting as the respective Issuing Bank) severally and not jointly agrees to purchase from each respective Issuing Bank, and each respective Issuing Bank hereby agrees to sell to each such Lender (a “Participating Lender”), an undivided participating interest (a “Participating Interest”) equal to its ratable share (based on its interest in the Revolver Facility) in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each reimbursement obligation with respect to an L/C Disbursement owed to, such Issuing Bank. Upon Borrowers’ failure to pay any reimbursement obligation with respect to an L/C Disbursement on the date and at the time required, or if the Issuing Bank is required at any time to return to either Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any reimbursement obligation with respect to an L/C Disbursement, each Participating Lender shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit R hereto from the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) to such effect, if such certificate is received before 10:00 a.m. (Cincinnati time), or not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cincinnati time) the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s ratable share (based on its interest in the Revolver Facility) of such unpaid reimbursement obligation with respect to an L/C Disbursement, in all instances in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such L/C Disbursement, together with interest on such amount accrued from the date the Issuing Bank made the related payment to the date of such payment by such Participating Lender at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the Issuing Bank made the related payment to the date two Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the Alternate Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating Lender shall, after making its appropriate payment, be entitled to receive its ratable share (based on its interest in the Revolver Facility) of each payment received in respect of the relevant reimbursement obligation with respect to an L/C Disbursement and of interest paid thereon, with the Issuing Bank retaining its ratable share (based on its interest in the Revolver Facility) thereof as a Lender hereunder.

The several obligations of the Participating Lenders to each Issuing Bank under this Section 2.17 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating Lender may have or has had against either Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of the Revolving Facility Commitment of any Lender occurring after the issuance of the applicable Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof, and each payment by a Participating Lender under this Section 2.17 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Manner of Requesting a Letter of Credit. The U.S. Borrower shall provide at least three Business Days’ advance written notice to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each such notice to be accompanied by a properly completed and executed Application for the requested Letter of Credit and, in the case of an extension or amendment or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank and, in each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender under the Revolving Facility of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such notice. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders under the Revolving Facility of such issuance.

(g) Conflict with Application. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the terms of any Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(h) Revaluation of Letters of Credit.

(i) If any Optional Currency Letters of Credit are denominated in an Optional Currency, the Administrative Agent shall no less frequently than at intervals every three months after the date of issuance, increase or extension, as applicable, or more frequently as requested by Lenders holding a majority in interest of Revolving Facility Loans, L/C Exposure and unused Revolving Facility Commitments (provided that such requests shall be no more frequent than once every 30 days), of each Optional Currency Letter of Credit recalculate the Dollar Equivalent of each Optional Currency Letter of Credit by notionally converting into Dollars the outstanding amount of that Optional Currency Letter of Credit on the basis of the Agent’s Spot Rate of Exchange on the date of calculation and shall promptly thereafter notify the U.S. Borrower, the Lenders, and the Issuing Banks of the recalculated Dollar Equivalent of each such Optional Currency Letter of Credit.

(ii) The Borrowers shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent within three Business Days of any calculation under paragraph (i) above, ensure that within three Business Days sufficient Revolving Facility Loans or Swing Loans are

prepaid or Letters of Credit Cash Collateralized to prevent the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Total Revolving Facility Commitments following any adjustment to a Dollar Equivalent under paragraph (i) above.

(i) [Reserved].

(j) Illegality in relation to Issuing Bank. If it becomes unlawful for an Issuing Bank to issue or leave outstanding any Letter of Credit, then:

(i) that Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon becoming aware of that event;

(ii) upon the Administrative Agent notifying the U.S. Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall not be obliged to issue any Letter of Credit;

(iii) the U.S. Borrower shall use its best endeavors to procure the release of each Letter of Credit issued by that Issuing Bank and outstanding at such time; and

(k) unless any other Lender has agreed to be an Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Revolving Facility shall cease to be available for the issue of Letters of Credit.

Section 2.18 Clawback.

(a) Where a sum is to be paid to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents for another Party, the Administrative Agent is not obliged to pay that sum to that other Party (or to enter into or perform any related exchange contract) until it has been able to establish to its satisfaction that it has actually received that sum.

(b) If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to another Party and it proves to be the case that the Administrative Agent had not actually received that amount, then the Party to whom that amount (or the proceeds of any related exchange contract) was paid by the Administrative Agent shall on demand refund the same to the Administrative Agent together with interest on that amount from the date of payment to the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent, calculated by the Administrative Agent to reflect its cost of funds.

Section 2.19 Administrative Agent’s Receipt of Notices. If the Administrative Agent receives a notice under Section 2.05(a), Section 2.05(b), Section 2.10(e), Section 2.13(d), Section 2.13(f)(iii), or Section 2.17(j), it shall promptly forward a copy of that notice or election to either the U.S. Borrower or the affected Lender, as appropriate.

Section 5.07 Insurance. The Parent and the Borrowers will cause to be maintained on behalf of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations (or with adequate self-insurance arrangements) insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the

Each Loan Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Loan Party on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Loan Party at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, upon 30 days’ written notice from the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Loan Parties hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 5.07, including reasonable fees of outside legal counsel, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Loan Parties to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured by the Security Documents.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in ARTICLE 7, for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under any financial covenant set forth in Section 6.11, any equity contribution (in the form of common equity or other equity (other than Disqualified Stock) having terms reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) made to

137

Parent (and contributed by Parent to Borrowers) after the last day of any fiscal quarter and on or prior to the day that is 10 days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for that fiscal quarter will, at the request of U.S. Borrower, be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants at the end of such fiscal quarter and any subsequent period that includes such fiscal quarter (any such equity contribution, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) Borrowers shall not be permitted to so request that a Specified Equity Contribution be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA with respect to any fiscal quarter unless, after giving effect to such requested Specified Equity Contribution, there will be a period of at least two consecutive fiscal quarters in the Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period in which no Specified Equity Contribution has been made, (b) no more than four Specified Equity Contributions will be made in the aggregate, (c) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution and the use of proceeds therefrom will be no greater than the amount required to cause Parent and Borrowers to be in compliance with the financial covenants, and (d) all Specified Equity Contributions and the use of proceeds therefrom will be disregarded for all other purposes under the Loan Documents (including calculating Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of determining basket levels, Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and other items governed by reference to Adjusted EBITDA, and for purposes of the Restricted Junior Payments covenant in Section 6.4). To the extent that the proceeds of the Specified Equity Contribution are used to repay Indebtedness, such Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been repaid for purposes of calculating any financial covenant set forth in Section 6.11 for the Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period” shall mean, with respect to any requested Specified Equity Contribution, the four fiscal quarter period ending on (and including) the fiscal quarter in which Adjusted EBITDA will be increased as a result of such Specified Equity Contribution.

Section 6.12 Fiscal Year. Neither the Parent nor the Borrowers will, nor will they permit any Subsidiary to, change the financial reporting convention by which the Parent, the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries determine the dates on which their fiscal years and fiscal quarters will end (except as may be necessary to cause the fiscal year of any such Subsidiary to end on December 31), and each fiscal year (other than Subsidiaries acquired after the Closing Date pending any such change) shall end on December 31.

Section 6.13 Maximum Capital Expenditures. The Parent and the Borrowers will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, not make Capital Expenditures on a consolidated basis that exceed $65,000,000 in any fiscal year (the “Base Capital Expenditure Amount”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Base Capital Expenditure Amount shall be increased by the following amounts: (i) to the extent that the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures made by the Parent and its Subsidiaries in any fiscal year is less than the Base Capital Expenditure Amount, the amount of such difference may be carried forward and used to make Capital Expenditures in succeeding fiscal years, provided that in any fiscal year, the amount permitted to be applied to make Capital Expenditures pursuant to this clause (i) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 75% of the unused portion of the Base Capital Expenditure Amount for such fiscal year (without giving effect to any prior adjustments), (ii) if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result after giving effect thereto, the Parent and its Subsidiaries may make additional Capital Expenditures to the extent that the amount of such excess is deducted from the Base Capital Expenditure Amount in succeeding

138

fiscal years, provided that in any fiscal year, the amount permitted to be applied to make Capital Expenditures pursuant to this clause (ii) shall in no event exceed an amount equal to 25% of the Base Capital Expenditure Amount (without giving effect to any prior adjustments) and (iii) the Base Capital Expenditure Amount shall not include any Capital Expenditures that are funded with the Available Credit; provided that, at the time of such Capital Expenditures, the Borrowers shall deliver a certificate of a Financial Officer stating the portion of Capital Expenditures that is being made from the Available Credit, and setting forth a calculation of the Available Credit immediately before and immediately after such Capital Expenditures.

Section 6.14 [Reserved].

Section 6.15 Permitted Activities of Parent.

142

Article VIII.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 8.01 The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

(a) Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Fifth Third Bank as its agent and authorizes Fifth Third Bank (and any successor Agent appointed as provided herein) to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby relieves the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to the extent possible from any restrictions on representing several persons and self-dealing applicable to it under any applicable law, in particular pursuant to Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch). The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither Borrower, the Parent nor any Subsidiary Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary 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.

Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as trustee (Treuhänder) and administrator for the purpose of accepting and administering the Security Documents governed by German law (the “German Transaction Security Documents”) for and on behalf of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this ARTICLE VIII. The Collateral Agent shall (i) in case of non-accessory (nicht akzessorische) security rights created under the German Transaction Security Documents, hold and administer and, as the case may be, enforce such Liens and/or Collateral in its own name, but for the account of the Secured Parties; and (ii) in case of accessory (akzessorische) security rights created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments under the German Transaction Security Documents, administer and, as the case may be, enforce any and all Liens and/or Collateral in the name and for and on behalf of the Secured Parties or in its own name in accordance with Section 8.02 or any parallel debt provision contained in the Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document but in each case for the account of the Secured Parties.

Each Lender hereby authorises the Collateral Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) (i) to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Collateral Agent under the German Transaction Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (ii) to take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorised under or in connection with the German Transaction Security Documents.

143

By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each person to whom an Obligation secured by the Collateral is owed shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party.

(b) The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Parent, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if it were not the Agent hereunder. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

(ii) notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers or expression of satisfaction (including, without limitation, the timing and methods of realization upon the Collateral) except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing in the manner directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and in the absence of such instructions, or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, the instruction of the Administrative Agent, the Agent may refrain from acting, provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action; and

(iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(c) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, or as the Agent shall in good faith believe to be necessary under the circumstances, except to the extent the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall not be deemed to have

144

knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Parent, the Borrowers or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, including recalculating or confirming any calculations made therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

(d) The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any telephone or 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 Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The costs of such legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts reasonably incurred by them shall be at the cost of the Borrowers.

(e) The Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent shall, to the extent possible, have the authority to grant an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Section 181 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) to any sub-agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent selected with reasonable care and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any sub-agent 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.

(f) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the security interests in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder.

145

Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates.

(g) Each of the Parent and the Borrowers covenants with the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it will comply with and perform and observe all the provisions of the Security Documents to which it is a party and which are expressed to be binding on it. Notwithstanding any notification of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent is not required to take any action until it receives a written direction from the Administrative Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders, directing the Collateral Agent to commence and pursue the exercise of remedies.

(h) In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to perform any obligation under any Security Document, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole determination may cause the Collateral Agent to incur potential liability under any Environmental Law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or arrange for transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver.

(i) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

(j) The Lenders hereby direct the Collateral Agent in its capacities hereunder and/or on behalf of the Lenders to enter into all Security Documents to which it is a party. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, no Lender (or its Affiliates) other than the Collateral Agent shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral or any or for the execution of any trust or power in respect of the Collateral or the Guarantee or for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under the Security Documents or the Guarantee; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Lenders (or their Affiliates) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the Lien of the Collateral Agent (or any security trustee therefor) under the Security Documents by its or their action or to enforce any right thereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had, and maintained by the Collateral Agent (or its security trustee) in the manner provided for in the relevant Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and their Affiliates.

(k) Nothing in this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to advance any sums on behalf of any party.

(l) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrowers and the Agent may be removed, with or without cause, at any

146

time after 30 days’ prior written notice to the Agent from the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the Borrowers’ consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the Borrowers’ consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or the removed Agent receives notice of removal), then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, without liability, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Alternatively, the Agent may, at the expense of the Borrowers, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

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

(n) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Arrangers named on the cover page of this Agreement shall have no duties or responsibilities hereunder except in their respective capacity, if any, as a Lender.

(o) In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Exposure 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 Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the

147

Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel); and

(ii) 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 each Issuing Bank (and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Security Documents, each other Secured Party will be deemed to have authorized) 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 Banks and the other Secured Parties, 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 Sections 2.12 and 9.03(a).

(p) If, at any time, the Agent becomes an Impaired Agent, a Loan Party or a Lender which is required to make a payment under the Loan Documents to the Agent in accordance with the terms hereof may instead either pay that amount direct to the required recipient or pay that amount to an interest–bearing account held with an Acceptable Bank and in relation to which no Insolvency Event has occurred and is continuing, in the name of the Loan Party or the Lender making the payment and designated as a trust account for the benefit of the Party or Parties beneficially entitled to that payment under the Loan Documents. In each case such payments must be made on the due date for payment under the Loan Documents. All interest accrued on the amount standing to the credit of the trust account shall be for the benefit of the beneficiaries of that trust account pro rata to their respective entitlements. A Party which has made a payment in accordance with this paragraph shall be discharged of the relevant payment obligation under the Loan Documents and shall not take any credit risk with respect to the amounts standing to the credit of the trust account. Promptly upon the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with this Article, each Party which has made a payment to a trust account in accordance with this paragraph shall give all requisite instructions to the bank with whom the trust account is held to transfer the amount (together with any accrued interest) to the successor Agent for distribution as directed by such Party.

Section 8.02 Parallel Debt.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount due by it in respect of its Corresponding Obligations. The payment undertaking of each Borrower under this Section 8.02 is to be referred to as its “Parallel Debt.”

(b) Each Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency or currencies of the relevant Corresponding Obligations and will become due and payable as and when and to the extent one or more of the relevant Corresponding Obligations become due and payable.

148

(i) each Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability to the Collateral Agent which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Corresponding Obligations; and

(ii) each Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive payment of that Parallel Debt from the relevant debtor.

it being understood, in each case, that pursuant to this Section 8.02 the amount which may become payable by any Loan Party under its Parallel Debt shall never exceed the total of the amounts which are payable under or in connection with its Corresponding Obligations.

(d) To the extent the Collateral Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of a Parallel Debt, the Collateral Agent shall distribute that amount among the Secured Parties that are creditors of the relevant Corresponding Obligations in accordance with Section 2.15 of this Agreement as if received by it in payment of the relevant Corresponding Obligations. Upon irrevocable receipt by the Collateral Agent of any amount in payment of a Parallel Debt (a “Received Amount”), the relevant Corresponding Obligations towards the Secured Parties shall be reduced, if necessary pro rata in respect of each Secured Party individually, by amounts totaling an amount (a “Deductible Amount”) equal to the Received Amount in the manner as if the Deductible Amount were received by (any of) the Secured Parties as a payment of those Corresponding Obligations on the date of receipt by the Collateral Agent of the Received Amount; vice versa, irrevocable receipt by the Secured Parties that are creditors of the relevant Corresponding Obligations (or by the Collateral Agent acting on behalf of such Secured Parties) of any amount in payment of the Corresponding Obligations shall also discharge the Parallel Debt in the amount of the relevant payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Corresponding Obligations shall be discharged by a discharge of the Parallel Debt if such discharge of the Parallel Debt is effected by virtue of any set-off, counterclaim or similar defense invoked by a Loan Party vis-à-vis the Collateral Agent.

(e) Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree with the further creation of parallel debt obligations of the Loan Parties vis-à-vis the Collateral Agent as will be further described and agreed upon in the Guarantee Agreement, including that any payment received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any such parallel debt obligations will be deemed a satisfaction, if necessary pro rata in respect of each Secured Party individually, of the obligations corresponding with such parallel debt obligations.

For the purposes of this Section 8.02 the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent, representative or trustee of any other Secured Party.

Section 9.02 Waivers, Amendments.

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

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (it being understood that waivers or modifications of

151

conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments shall not constitute an increase of the Commitments of any Lender),

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (except for interest arising under Section 2.11(c)), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that any amendment to the financial covenant definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest for purposes of this clause (ii),

(iii) postpone the date of any scheduled payment (excluding any payments received pursuant to Section 2.10) of the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Proportion, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such scheduled payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

(vii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to or Commitments of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any Class differently than those holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans of such Class (and, in the case of the Revolving Facility, the Revolving Facility Loans, L/C Exposure and unused Revolving Facility Commitments); provided that no such consent shall be required with respect to rights to or priorities of prepayments of additional series of Loans that may be approved by the Required Lenders;

provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, (B) to the extent specified in Section 2.01(b), this Agreement may be amended to establish Incremental Term Commitments

152

of any Series pursuant to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment executed between the U.S. Borrower, the relevant Lenders of such Series and the Administrative Agent, and any such Incremental Term Loan Amendment shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement, (C) to the extent specified in Section 2.01(f), this Agreement may be amended to establish Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments pursuant to an Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment executed between the Borrowers, the relevant Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and any such Incremental Revolving Facility Amendment shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement and (D) to the extent specified in Section 2.02, this Agreement may be amended to establish an Extended Maturity Date pursuant to an Extension Amendment executed between the Borrowers, the relevant Lenders and the Administrative Agent and any such Extension Amendment shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(d) Preservation of Security Documents. For the purpose of article 1278 of the Luxembourg Civil Code, to the extent required under applicable law and without prejudice to the provisions in the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent expressly reserves the preservation of all Security Documents created hereunder in case of assignment, novation, amendment or any other transfer of the Secured Obligations or any other rights arising for it or the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

153

(b) Indemnification by Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, reasonable out-of-pocket charges and disbursements of outside legal counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Closing Date Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom, including any refusal by the respective Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Parent, the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries (and not caused by the actions of any Indemnitee), or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee, whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the Closing Date Transactions are consummated, provided that, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) results from disputes among such Indemnitee and one or more other Indemnitees (other than against any Arranger or Agent in their capacities as such) not involving an act or omission of Parent, Borrowers or the Subsidiaries or any of their Related Parties. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification, or any amount request. The indemnification obligations in this section shall

154

survive the resignation or replacement of the Indemnitee under this Credit Agreement, or the termination or expiry of this Credit Agreement.

(c) Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (and any subagent thereof), the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay (without in any way limiting the Borrowers’ respective obligation to pay such amounts) to the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” of any amount payable to the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) or the Collateral Agent shall be determined based upon such Lender’s share of the sum of the total Revolving Facility Exposure, outstanding Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time, and a “Lender’s “pro rata share” of any amount payable to an Issuing Bank shall be determined based upon such Lender’s share of the sum of the total Revolving Facility Loans, L/C Exposure and unused Revolving Facility Commitments at the time. The indemnification obligations in this section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Indemnitee under this Agreement, or the termination or expiry of this Agreement.

(d) Electronic Communication. Communications, notices, instructions or other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement may be sent to the Administrative Agent by email, facsimile transmission, or other similar electronic method. If the Borrowers or Lenders elect to give the Administrative Agent e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method), the Administrative Agent’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. All such communications shall be delivered from the Borrowers or Lenders on letterhead in the case of facsimile transmission, and in the case of e-mail, using an e-mail address that identifies the appropriate, authorized sending institution. The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon, and shall not in any event be liable for any losses, costs, expenses or damages, including, but not limited to, indirect, incidental, consequential, special or punitive damages, arising directly or indirectly from the Administrative Agent’s reliance upon and compliance with, any communication, notice, instruction, or other document sent via email, facsimile transmission, or other similar electronic method which the Administrative Agent believes to have been sent by the party who, on the face of the communication, appears to have been the appropriate party. The Administrative Agent assumes no risk arising out of the use of such electronic methods of communication, including without limitation any risk of the Administrative Agent acting on unauthorized instructions, or the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

(e) Waiver of Certain Damages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Parent, the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Closing

155

Date Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof even if the Indemnitee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after written demand therefor.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c), Section 2.14 and Section 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (e) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its primary offices in Cincinnati, Ohio a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans 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 Banks 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 and Goldman Sachs Bank, in its capacity as an Arranger, and, with respect to its own entry only, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms and certificates required by Section 2.14(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.

157

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations with respect to the Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans, Revolving Facility Commitments and Revolving Facility Loans under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the parties hereto agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c) and Section 2.14, and in the case of Section 2.14(e) 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 such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13(b) or Section 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register in the United States 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 to any Person (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) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Borrowing 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 anything to the contrary.

158

(h) 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; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) Each such assignment made as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.13(e) or (f) shall be arranged by the Borrowers after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement.

(j) No Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.13(e) or (f) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either one or more Loan Parties or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement.

(k) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, each Lender assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

159

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, (ii) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c) or Section 2.14 (or any other increased costs protection provision) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including, without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior Indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or any portion of its interest in any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This subsection (l) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by the SPC at the time of such amendment.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and 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 Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of 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 Revolving Facility Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.13(b), Section 2.13(c), Section 2.14 and Section 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Closing Date Transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit or the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SCHEDULE 5.11

Agreed Security Principles

(A). Considerations

In determining what Security and guarantees will be provided in support of the Obligations the following matters will be taken into account. Security and guarantees shall not be created or perfected to the extent that it would:

(a) result in any breach of corporate benefit, financial assistance, fraudulent preference or thin capitalization laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions) of any applicable jurisdiction;

(b) result in a material risk to the officers of the relevant grantor of Security or contravention of their fiduciary duties and/or of civil or criminal liability; provided, that the relevant member of the Group shall use reasonable endeavours to overcome any such obstacle;

(c) result in costs that, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, are disproportionate to the benefit obtained by the beneficiaries of that Security;

(d) purport to charge any assets subject to third party arrangements which may prevent those assets from being charged provided that reasonable endeavors to obtain consent to charging any such assets shall be used by the Group if the Collateral Agent (acting in good faith) determines that the relevant assets are material to the Group; or

(e) be reasonably likely that perfection of the security interests would reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of any member of the Group to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents.

For the avoidance of doubt, in these Agreed Security Principles, “cost” includes, but is not limited to, income tax cost, registration taxes payable on the creation or enforcement or for the continuance of any Security, stamp duties, out–of– pocket expenses, and other fees and expenses directly incurred by the relevant grantor of Security or any of its direct or indirect owners, subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(B) Obligations to be Secured

1. Subject to Section 1 (Considerations) and to paragraph 2 below, the obligations to be secured are the Secured Obligations. The Security is to be granted in favour of the Collateral Agent on behalf of each Secured Party.

2. The secured obligations will be limited:

2.1 to avoid any breach of corporate benefit, financial assistance, fraudulent preference, thin capitalization rules or the laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions) of any applicable jurisdiction; and

2.2 to avoid any risk to officers of the relevant member of the Group that is granting Collateral of contravention of their fiduciary duties and/or civil criminal or personal liability.

Where appropriate, defined terms in the Security Documents should mirror those in this Schedule.

The parties to this Agreement agree to negotiate the form of each Security Document in good faith and will ensure that all documentation required to be entered into as a condition precedent to Closing Date (or immediately thereafter) is in a finally agreed form as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement. The form of guarantee is set out in the Guarantee Agreement and, with respect to any additional guarantor, is subject to any limitations set out in the supplement applicable to such additional Loan Party.

The Security shall, to the extent possible under local law, be enforceable on the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(D) Undertakings/Representations And Warranties

Any representations, warranties or undertakings to be included in any Security Document shall be limited to such provisions which are required for the creation or perfection of the Collateral and be no more onerous (to the extent to which the subject matter of such representation, warranty and undertaking is the same as the corresponding representation, warranty and undertaking in this Agreement) than the equivalent provision set out in this Agreement.

FORM OF

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of [ ], 2012 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), among each of the subsidiaries, parent holding companies and other affiliates party hereto (each such Person individually a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) of WIRECO WORLDGROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the “U.S. Borrower”), and WRCA (LUXEMBOURG) HOLDINGS S.À R.L., a société à responsabilité limitée organized under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Lux Borrower” and together with the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers”), and FIFTH THIRD BANK, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, and together with its successors and assigns, the “Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of [ ], 2012 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers, WireCo WorldGroup (Cayman) Inc., as the Parent, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Fifth Third Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

B. The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement.

C. The Loan Parties may from time to time enter into one or more Secured Hedging Agreements with the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and it is desired that the obligations of such Loan Parties under such Secured Hedging Agreements, including without limitation the obligation of such Loan Parties to make payments thereunder in the event of early termination thereof, be guaranteed hereunder.

D. The Loan Parties may from time to time enter into one or more Bank Product Obligation Agreements with Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and it is desired that certain obligations of such Loan Parties under such Bank Product Obligation Agreements be guaranteed hereunder.

E. Each of the Borrowers is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Parent and the Parent will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders and the provision of the financial accommodations under the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Bank Product Obligation Agreements.

F. Each of the Guarantors (other than the Parent) is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Parent and affiliate of the Borrowers and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders and the provision of the financial accommodations under the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Bank Product Obligation Agreements.

G. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Secured Parties to provide financial accommodations under the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Bank Product Obligation Agreements are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of this Agreement. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and of the Secured Parties to provide financial accommodations under the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Bank Product Obligation Agreements, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment by each of the Borrowers and each of the other Loan Parties of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be increased, extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any increase, extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Agreement, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each of the Borrowers so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents, Secured Hedging Agreements or Bank Product Obligation Agreements, as the case may be.

Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable state, federal or provincial law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor (a) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrowers or Affiliates of the Borrowers to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder and (b) under any Guarantee of senior unsecured indebtedness or Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations which Guarantee contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this paragraph, pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor and other Affiliates of the Borrowers of obligations arising under Guarantees by such parties (including the Intercompany Subordination Agreement).

SECTION 2. Guarantee Absolute; Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrowers or any other Loan Parties of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, dishonor, notice of protest for nonpayment or any other notice with respect to the Obligations and this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, Secured Hedging Agreement or Bank Product Obligation Agreement or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or the Obligations being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (b) the failure of the Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Secured Hedging Agreement, any Bank Product Obligation Agreement or otherwise, (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Secured Hedging Agreement, any Bank Product Obligation Agreement, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, (d) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor hereby waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information), (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver the Guarantee Agreement or any other guarantee or agreement, (h) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any Borrower or any other Loan Party may allege or assert against any Secured Party in respect of the Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury (it being understood that although such defenses, set-offs or counterclaims may not be asserted as defenses, set-offs or counterclaims to claims under this Agreement, such defenses, set-offs or counterclaims are preserved and not waived) and (i) any other act, omission or circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety, other than, in each case, the performance or payment in full, or collateralization in full in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, of all the Obligations.

SECTION 3. Security. Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties to (to the extent permitted by the Security Documents) (a) take and hold security for the payment of the guarantee hereunder and the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may reasonably determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other guarantors or other obligors.

SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any

of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of any Borrower or any other Person. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Agreement and acknowledges that, until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11, this Agreement is continuing in nature and applies to all Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

SECTION 5. Covenants; Bankruptcy. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, at all times until all the Obligations (other than with respect to indemnifications that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and are not due and payable or reasonably foreseeable on such date) have been paid in full or collateralized in full in cash or in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent or otherwise performed and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, such Guarantor will perform, comply with and be bound by all of the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in the Credit Agreement which are applicable to such Guarantor or its properties, each such agreement, covenant and obligation contained in the Credit Agreement and all other terms of the Credit Agreement to which reference is made in this Section, together with all related ancillary provisions, being hereby incorporated into this Agreement by this reference as though specifically set forth in this Section.

So long as any Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of the Required Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation, recovery or revitalização or arrangement of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in the paragraph immediately above (or, if interest on any portion of the Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Secured Parties that the Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower or any other Loan Parties of any portion of such Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, administrator, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Agent, or allow the claim of Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

SECTION 6. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the performance or payment in full, or collateralization in

full in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, of all of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Secured Hedging Agreement, any Bank Product Obligation Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of the security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the performance or payment in full or collateralization in full in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of all the Obligations).

SECTION 7. Defenses of Borrowers and Loan Parties Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrowers or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrowers, other than the performance or payment in full or collateralization in full in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of all the Obligations. Without limitation to the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of the Secured Parties: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of any Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrowers or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full, or collateralization in full in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, of all the Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior which amounts to gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to assert set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims as defenses to obligations hereunder (it being understood that although such set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims may not be asserted as set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims to claims under this Guarantee, such set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims are preserved and not waived), and

(iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) as defenses to obligations hereunder, notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, under the Secured Hedging Agreements or Bank Product Obligation Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 2 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any other guarantor (including the other Guarantors) or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Borrower or any other guarantor (including the other Guarantors), without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid in full or collateralized in full in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.

SECTION 8. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon, and during the continuation of, the failure of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees, as a separate and independent primary obligation, to indemnify the Secured Parties from time to time on demand from and against any loss, cost, expense or liability of any kind reasonably incurred by the Lenders as a result of any Borrower or any other Loan Parties failing to perform the Obligations duly and punctually or as a result of any of the Obligations being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any Borrower or any other Loan Parties for any reason whatsoever, whether known to the Secured Parties or not.

SECTION 9. Information. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ and the other Loan Parties’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any of the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained

in the Credit Agreement are true and correct. Each of the Guarantors hereby further represents and warrants as follows:

(a) There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement that have not been satisfied or waived.

(b) It is in the best interests of each Guarantor to execute this Agreement inasmuch as such Guarantor will, as a result of being either a parent of or an Affiliate of the Borrowers, derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Loans made from time to time to the Borrowers by the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the execution and delivery of the Secured Hedging Agreements and Bank Product Obligation Agreements, between the Borrowers, other Guarantors and certain Secured Parties, and each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties are relying on this representation in agreeing to make Loans to the Borrowers and to provide financial accommodations pursuant to the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Bank Product Obligation Agreements.

SECTION 11. Termination or Release. This Agreement and the Guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate automatically when all the Obligations (other than with respect to indemnifications that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and are not due and payable or reasonably foreseeable on such date) have been paid in full or collateralized in full in cash or in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent or otherwise performed and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Guarantor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise. If (i) all of the Equity Interests or other securities of a Guarantor are sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a non-Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or pursuant to the written consent of the Required Lenders or, if required by the terms of the Credit Agreement, all the Lenders or (ii) a Guarantor otherwise ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or pursuant to the written consent of the Required Lenders or, if required by the terms of the Credit Agreement, all the Lenders, such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action by any party. In connection with any of the foregoing, the Agent shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor or Guarantor’s designee, at such Guarantor’s expense, any documents or instruments which such Guarantor shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination or release.

SECTION 12. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Agent, and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Guarantor, the Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that such Guarantor

shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void). This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 13. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Agent in exercising any power or right 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 Agent hereunder and of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents, Secured Hedging Agreements and Bank Product Obligation Agreements are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor or any other Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Collateral Agent, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement).

SECTION 14. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it understands the nature and extent of its liability and commitment under this Guarantee as governed by the laws of the State of New York and to that effect it has obtained professional independent legal advice.

SECTION 15. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each Guarantor shall be given to it at its address, telecopy number or e-mail address set forth in Schedule I. The Guarantors covenant and agree that they shall at all times maintain an agent for service of process in New York and any notice of legal process shall be sufficiently served on the Guarantors if delivered to the agent at his/her address for the time being. The Guarantors undertake not to revoke the authority of their agent and if, for any reason, this agent no longer serves as agent of the Guarantors to receive service of process, the Guarantors shall promptly appoint another such agent and advise the Agent thereof.

SECTION 16. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Guarantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or

any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making o any Loans and shall continue in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated or released as set forth in Section 11.

(b) 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 17. Counterparts. 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 (subject to Section 12), and shall become effective as provided in Section 12. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile (or other electronic) transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 18. Rules of Interpretation; Definitions. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

SECTION 19. Jurisdiction, Consent to Service of Process. (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such State of New York or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court (in each case, other than with respect to actions by any Agent in respect of rights under any Security Document governed by laws other than the laws of the State of New York with respect to any Collateral subject thereto). Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 19, with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents involving a Mexican Guarantor, each of the parties hereto hereby expressly and irrevocably (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; (ii) waives any other jurisdiction to which it may be entitled by reason of its present or future domicile or otherwise; and (iii) waives any objection to those courts on the ground of venue or forum non conveniens.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 15. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(e) The provisions of Section 9.19 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 20. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 20.

SECTION 21. Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement, each Loan Party that was not in existence on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Agreement as a Guarantor upon becoming a Loan Party. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Agent and such Loan Party of an instrument in the form of Annex 1, such Loan Party shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each other Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 22. Right of Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party 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 Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any or all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan

Documents, Secured Hedging Agreements or Bank Product Obligation Agreements held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Secured Party shall notify the Guarantors promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 22 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.

SECTION 23. Limitations for Luxembourg Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg Guarantor”) with respect to any joint and several liability and the granting of any guarantee under this Agreement, shall not include any payment which, if made would amount to prohibited financial assistance as provided in article 49-6 of the LCC. In any case the guarantee of any Luxembourg Guarantor shall be limited to the higher of (i) the aggregate amount of the funds (derived from the Loans), which has been on-lent to such Luxembourg Guarantor or (ii) 95 percent of the net asset value (“capitaux propres”) of such Luxembourg Guarantor as at the date on which payment shall be made or (iii) 95 percent of the fair market value of such Luxembourg Guarantor as at the date on which payment shall be made.

None of the above restrictions shall apply to the extent that the guarantee secures the own obligations of the Lux Borrower and/or Luxembourg Guarantor or any direct or indirect subsidiary of such Borrower and/or Luxembourg Guarantor under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 24. Limitations for German Guarantors.

(a) The right to enforce this Agreement with respect to a Guarantor incorporated in Germany as a limited liability company (GmbH) (a “German GmbH Guarantor”), or as a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) with a limited liability company as sole general partner (GmbH & Co. KG) (the “GermanGmbH & Co. KG Guarantor”, together with any German GmbH Guarantor hereinafter referred to as a “German Guarantor”) shall to the extent that this Agreement secures liabilities of an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of Section 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG Aktiengesetz) of that German Guarantor (other than the German Guarantor’s (direct or indirect) Subsidiaries) (the “Guaranteed Loan Party”) at all times be limited to an amount equal to that German Guarantor’s, or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner’s, assets (to be calculated in accordance with Section 266 sub-section (2) A, B, C, D and E of the German Commercial Code (HGB Handelsgesetzbuch)) less the sum of (i) the German Guarantor's liabilities (to be calculated in accordance with Section 266 sub-section (3) B, C, D and E of the German Commercial Code), (disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) any provision in respect of the guarantee created under this Agreement, (y) any liabilities of the German Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrowers or Affiliates of the Borrowers to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor

hereunder and (z) any liabilities of the German Guarantor under any Guarantee of senior unsecured indebtedness or Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations which Guarantee contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this paragraph, pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount), (ii) the amounts of profits (Gewinne) not available for distribution to its shareholders and (iii) the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of the German Guarantor or, in the case of a German Guarantor in the legal form of GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner (the “Net Assets”), provided that the enforcement of the Guarantee would cause a violation of Sections 30, 31 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbHG Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung).

(b) For the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of the German Guarantor, or, in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner, after the date hereof (excluding any such increase of stated share capital permitted pursuant to any other agreement to which the Collateral Agent and the relevant German Guarantor are a party) (A) that has been effected without the prior written consent of the Agent, (B) that has been effected out of retained earnings (Kapitalerhöhung aus Gesellschaftsmitteln) or (C) to the extent that it is not fully paid up, shall be deducted from the stated share capital;

(ii) loans and contractual liabilities incurred in violation of the provisions of the Loan Documents shall be disregarded; and

(iii) loans provided to the German Guarantor by any other Guarantor shall be disregarded if such loans are considered subordinated pursuant to Section 39 para. 1 No. 5 of the German Insolvency Code (InsO Insolvenzordnung).

(c) In addition, each German Guarantor, and, in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner, shall, for the purposes of determining the Net Assets, realize, to the extent legally permitted and commercially justifiable with respect to the cost and efforts involved, in a situation where such German Guarantor, and, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner, does not have sufficient Net Assets to maintain its stated share capital, any and all of its assets that are shown in the balance sheet of the German Guarantor, or, in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner, with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets if the asset is not necessary for such German Guarantor’s, and, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner's, business, (betriebsnotwendig) (the “Realizable Assets”).

(d) The Agent shall not enforce this Agreement against the relevant German Guarantor before the Net Assets (as determined in accordance with clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 24), i.e., the amounts which may be claimed against a relevant German Guarantor, or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner, have been determined in accordance with the following further procedure:

(i) following a notification by the Agent to the relevant German

Guarantor of its intention to enforce this Agreement such German Guarantor shall notify the Agent in writing within ten (10) Business Days of such notification of the Net Assets (the “Management Determination”). If the Agent disagrees with this Management Determination such German Guarantor, acting reasonably, shall engage at its expense a firm of auditors of international standard and repute which shall proceed to audit the relevant German Guarantor with a view to investigating such German Guarantor’s Net Assets (the “Auditors’ Determination”) until the end of the calendar month in which the firm of auditors has been engaged and the German Guarantor shall give notice of such engagement to the Agent. Each relevant German Guarantor shall render any and all reasonable assistance requested by the auditors for the purposes of facilitating the Auditors’ Determination and shall allow full access to and inspection of its books and any other necessary documents.

(ii) The Auditors’ Determination of the Net Assets shall take into account, in addition to the terms set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 24, the generally accepted accounting principles applicable in Germany and be based on the same principles that were applied when establishing the previous year’s balance sheet.

(iii) The amount specified in the relevant Auditors’ Determination pertaining to the relevant German Guarantor, or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner, shall be up to date and in any event such Auditors’ Determination shall have been prepared as of a date falling within the period commencing fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date of the commencement of any enforcement action.

(iv) The Agent may proceed to enforce this Agreement granted by the relevant German Guarantor, if and to the extent that (i) the German Guarantor has not provided the Management Determination within the ten (10) Business Days period or (ii) an Auditors’ Determination cannot be obtained within thirty (30) Business Days following notice by the Agent to the relevant German Guarantor that it disagrees with its Management Determination. The maximum amount that may be claimed against such relevant German Guarantor in those circumstances will be the amount determined by the Agent in good faith acting reasonably by reference to the most recent financial statements delivered in respect of the relevant German Guarantor under this Agreement and, based on such determination by the Agent, the payment of which would not result in such German Guarantor, or, in the case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor, its general partner, having insufficient assets to maintain its stated share capital. For the purpose of calculating such amount, the adjustments referred to in clause (b) of this Section 24 will be made to the most recent financial statements delivered as aforesaid.

(e) If the amount payable under the relevant Guarantee was determined in accordance with Section 24(d)(iv), because an Auditors’ Determination could not be obtained as

outlined in Section 24(d)(iv)(b), and, in such case, an Auditors’ Determination delivered by the relevant German Guarantor to the Agent within three months after the respective auditor should have been engaged in accordance with Section 24(d)(i) confirms that the amount available under the relevant Guarantee granted hereunder at the time of enforcement was less than the amount recovered by the Agent, the Agent agrees to release to the relevant German Guarantor an amount of the proceeds equal to the amount by which the recoveries relating to the relevant Guarantee exceeded the amount determined to be available.

(f) The limitations set out in clause (a) of this Section 24 shall not apply:

(i) to any amounts due and payable under any Loan Document which relate to funds which have been on-lent to the relevant German Guarantor or to any of its (direct or indirect) subsidiaries and are still outstanding;

(ii) if the German Guarantor is subject to a domination and/or profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) (a "DPTA") (as dominated entity) with the Guaranteed Loan Party, whether directly or indirectly through a chain of DPTAs between each company and its shareholder (or in case of a German GmbH & Co. KG Guarantor between its general partner and its shareholder), if and to the extent that the existence of a DPTA leads to the inapplicability of Section 30 para. 1 sentence 1 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act; or

(iii) if and to the extent that the relevant German Guarantor holds on the date of enforcement of the guarantee a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (“vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch”) against its shareholder.

(g) Regardless of the provisions set forth in this Section 24, the enforcement of this Agreement into Liquid Assets (as defined below) shall be, at the date hereof and at any time hereafter until the full and complete payment of any and all obligations guaranteed by this Agreement, be limited to the extent that such enforcement would result (i) in a violation of the prohibition of an intervention threatening the corporate existence of the German Guarantor (existenzvernichtender Eingriff) and (ii) such violation would result from a Liquidity Impairment:

(i) For the purposes of this Section 24(g), the fact that enforcement would result in a violation of the prohibition of an intervention threatening the corporate existence of the German Guarantor (existenzvernichtender Eingriff) shall be proven by the German Guarantor to the satisfaction of the Agent, acting reasonably and taking into account the then current jurisprudence of the German Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof).

(ii) For the purposes of this Section 24(g), “Liquidity Impairment” means that the German Guarantor would, subject to paragraph (iii) below, if this Agreement were enforced, not be able to fulfill its financial obligations

which the German Guarantor owes to its creditors and which (i) are due at the time of a notification by the Agent to the relevant German Guarantor of its intention to enforce the Agreement (the “Demand”), or (ii) will become due within a period of thirty (30) calendar days following such Demand (the “Relevant Period”).

(iii) For the purposes of determining whether a Liquidity Impairment occurs all liquid assets (i.e., cash, amounts standing to the credit of bank accounts and securities standing to the credit of securities accounts (“Liquid Assets”)) of the German Guarantor (including Liquid Assets the German Guarantor is due to receive within the Relevant Period) and Realizable Assets shall be taken into account.

(iv) These limitations shall only apply if and to the extent that within ten (10) Business Days following a Demand, the managing director(s) on behalf of such German Guarantor has (have) confirmed in writing to the Agent to what extent the enforcement of this Agreement results in a Liquidity Impairment and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (the “Management Liquidity Impairment Determination”). If the Agent disagrees with this Management Liquidity Impairment Determination such German Guarantor, acting reasonably, shall engage at its own expense a firm of auditors of international standard and repute which shall proceed to audit the relevant German Guarantor with a view to investigating the amount that would have been necessary on the date of the Demand to prevent the occurrence of a Liquidity Impairment (the “Auditor’s Liquidity Impairment Determination”). Each relevant German Guarantor shall render any and all reasonable assistance requested by the auditors for the purposes of facilitating the Auditors’ Liquidity Impairment Determination and shall allow full access to and inspection of its books and any other necessary documents.

(v) The Agent may proceed to enforce the Agreement granted by the relevant German Guarantor, if and to the extent that (a) the German Guarantor has not provided the Management Liquidity Impairment Determination within the ten (10) Business Days period or (b) an Auditors’ Liquidity Impairment Determination cannot be obtained within thirty (30) Business Days following notice by the Agent to the relevant German Guarantor that it disagrees with its Management Liquidity Impairment Determination. The maximum amount that may be claimed against such relevant German Guarantor in those circumstances will be the amount determined by the Agent in good faith acting reasonably by reference to the most recent financial statements delivered in respect of the relevant German Guarantor under this Agreement and, based on such determination by the Agent, the payment of which would not result in a Liquidity Impairment of such German Guarantor. For the purpose of calculating such amount, the adjustments referred to in sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iii) of this Section 24(g) will be made to the most recent financial statements delivered as aforesaid.

(vi) If the amount payable under the relevant guarantee was determined in accordance with Section 24(g)(v), because an Auditors’ Determination could not be obtained as outlined in Section 24(g)(v)(b), and, in such case, an Auditors’ Determination or an Auditor’s Liquidity Impairment Determination delivered by the relevant German Guarantor to the Agent within three months after the respective auditor should have been engaged in accordance with Section 24(g)(iv) confirms that the amount available under the relevant guarantee granted hereunder at the time of enforcement was less than the amount recovered by the Agent, the Agent agrees to release to the relevant German Guarantor an amount of the proceeds equal to the amount by which the recoveries relating to the relevant guarantee exceeded the amount determined to be available.

(h) No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Agreement in accordance with the above limitations will prejudice the rights of the Agent to continue enforcing this Agreement (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction of the guaranteed claims.

SECTION 25. Limitations for Dutch Guarantors. The guarantee and indemnity obligations of any Guarantor organized under the laws of the Netherlands under this Agreement shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred by such Guarantor to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 2:207c of the Dutch Civil Code and the provisions of this Agreement shall in respect of each such Guarantor be construed accordingly.

SECTION 26. Additional Waivers by Mexican Guarantors. In addition to the waivers and acknowledgements provided in this Agreement, each Guarantor incorporated and organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (each, a “Mexican Guarantor”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the benefits of orden, excusión, división, quita, novación, espera and modificación which may be available to it under Articles 2813, 2814, 2815, 2817, 2818, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2827, 2836, 2840, 2842, 2845, 2846, 2847, 2848, 2849 and other related articles of the Mexican Federal Civil Code in effect and the corresponding articles of the Civil Codes of all States of Mexico and the Federal District of Mexico. Each Mexican Guarantor represents that they are familiar with the contents of these articles and agree that they need not be reproduced herein. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions.

SECTION 27. Limitations for Portuguese Guarantors. The guarantee and indemnity obligations of any Guarantor organized under the laws of Portugal under this Agreement shall be deemed to be not undertaken or incurred by such Guarantor to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Article 322 of the Portuguese Companies Code or would cause the principles of corporate (financial) benefit to be transgressed, and the provisions of this Agreement shall in respect of each such Guarantor be construed accordingly.

SECTION 28. Limitations for Canadian Guarantors

. Notwithstanding Section 1 of this Agreement, each Guarantor formed under the laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof (each, a “Canadian Guarantor”) is providing its Guarantee of the due and punctual payment by each of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties of all Obligations when the same shall become due (i) as a primary obligor and not as a surety and (ii) severally each as to 100% of all such Obligations and not on a joint or joint and several basis.

SECTION 29. Limitations for Polish Guarantors. Any guarantee granted or assumed by a Guarantor incorporated or established in Poland (each a “Polish Guarantor”) shall be limited in accordance with the following rules:

(a) To the extent the liability under this Guarantee is considered a liability ("zobowiązanie") within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as defined below), the liability of each Polish Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be limited to an amount equal, at any time, to the aggregate value of all the assets (aktywa) of such Polish Guarantor at that time less the aggregate value of the liabilities (zobowiązania) of that Polish Guarantor at that time, undertaken in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and thus such liability should not result in the Polish Guarantor's insolvency as defined in Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law. The term “liabilities” as referred to above shall at all times exclude the Polish Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee, but shall include any other obligations (secured and unsecured) of the Polish Guarantor, including any other off-balance sheet obligations of the Polish Guarantor.

If at any time the Polish Guarantor or the Collateral Agent requests to calculate the amount of the liability of the Polish Guarantor under this Guarantee, such amount will be calculated as of the date of the financial statements mentioned below, pursuant to the following formula:

G = A - L, where:

“G” means Polish Limitation Amount,

“A”

means all assets (aktywa) of the relevant Polish Guarantor in the value recorded in (i) its latest annual unconsolidated financial statements made available to the Agent or, if they are more up-to date, in (ii) its latest interim unconsolidated financial statements made available to the Agent within 15 Business Days following its request made in accordance with the Credit Agreement or without such request (i.e. at the Polish Guarantor’s own motion);

“L”

means all liabilities (zobowiązania) of the relevant Polish Guarantor existing on the date hereof and, henceforth, undertaken in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement recorded in the pertinent financial statements referred to in the definition of “A” above and used for the purpose of determination of the value of assets (aktywa) of that Polish Guarantor. The term “liabilities” shall at all times exclude the Polish Guarantor’s liabilities under this Guarantee but shall include any other

obligations (secured and unsecured) of the Polish Guarantor, including any other off-balance sheet obligations of the Polish Guarantor;

The amount of the liability of the Polish Guarantor under this Guarantee calculated pursuant to the above formula shall remain binding for the purpose of any claim(s) made against the Guarantor under this Guarantee (in case any such claim(s) is made) after the date of the financial statements made available to the Agent for the purpose of the above calculation and prior to the date of the new financial statement made available in accordance with the above provisions.

The limitation in this sub-paragraph (a) will not apply if at least one of the following circumstances occurs:

(i) the aggregate value of the liabilities of the Polish Guarantor (other than those under this Guarantee) exceeds the aggregate value of the assets thereof thus resulting in the Polish Guarantor’s insolvency within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law dated 28 February 2003 (Journal of Laws No. 60, item 535, as amended) (the “Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law”); or

(ii) Polish law is amended in such a manner that (a) a debtor whose liabilities exceed the value of its assets is no longer deemed insolvent (niewypłacalny) as provided for in Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement) or that (b) the insolvency (niewypłacalność) of a debtor within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement) no longer gives grounds for the declaration of its bankruptcy (ogłoszenie upadłości).

(b) Additionally to the provisions of sub-paragraph (a) above, each Polish Guarantor which is a limited liability company (“sp. z o.o.”) has the right to refrain from making a payment under this Guarantee in the event and to the extent that such payment would result in a reduction of its assets necessary to fully cover its share capital as required under Article 189.2 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code of 15 September 2000 (Kodeks spółek handlowych, Journal of Laws No. 94, item 1037, as amended).

SECTION 30. Construction. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) it has been represented by counsel in the negotiation and documentation of the terms of this Agreement; (ii) it has had full and fair opportunity to review and revise the terms of this Agreement; (iii) this Agreement has been drafted jointly by all of the parties hereto; and (iv) neither Agent nor any other Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Borrower or any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Agent and the Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement shall not be construed against or in favor of another party.

SECTION 31. Authorization of Filing of Financing Statements

Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor that has granted a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents hereby authorizes (but without any obligation) the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing statements (including fixture filings), continuation statements, or other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by such Guarantor pursuant to the Security Documents to which it is a party, without the signature of such Guarantor, and naming such Guarantor as debtor and the Collateral Agent as secured party. Each such Guarantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all assets,” “all personal property, whether now existing or hereafter acquired,” “all of the debtor’s assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or words of similar effect in any such financing statements filed or other filings for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted hereunder by such Guarantor. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the obligation of the Guarantors to perfect and maintain all liens and security interests granted by such Guarantors.

SECTION 32. Agent’s Duties. The Agent’s duties are as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Nothing herein shall limit the Agent’s right to take or omit from taking any action in accordance with the direction of the Required Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to omit from taking any action if the Required Lenders provide no direction and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 33. Parallel Debt

(a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Agent an amount equal to the aggregate amount due by it in respect of its Corresponding Obligations. The payment undertaking of each of the Guarantors under this Section 33 is to be referred to as its “Parallel Debt.” For purposes of this Section 33, “Corresponding Obligations” shall mean the Guarantors’ Obligations as they may exist from time to time, other than the Parallel Debt.

(i) each Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability to the Agent which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Corresponding Obligations; and

(ii) each Parallel Debt represents the Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive payment of that Parallel Debt from the relevant debtor.

it being understood, in each case, that pursuant to this Section 33 the amount which may become payable by any Guarantor under its Parallel Debt shall never exceed the total of the amounts which are payable under or in connection with its Corresponding Obligations.

(d) To the extent the Agent irrevocably receives any amount in payment of a Parallel Debt, the Agent shall distribute that amount among the Secured Parties that are creditors of the relevant Corresponding Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement as if received by it in payment of the relevant Corresponding Obligations. Upon irrevocable receipt by the Agent of any amount in payment of a Parallel Debt (a “Received Amount”), the relevant Corresponding Obligations towards the Secured Parties shall be reduced, if necessary pro rata in respect of each Secured Party individually, by amounts totaling an amount (a “Deductible Amount”) equal to the Received Amount in the manner as if the Deductible Amount were received by (any of) the Secured Parties as a payment of those Corresponding Obligations on the date of receipt by the Agent of the Received Amount; vice versa, irrevocable receipt by the Secured Parties that are creditors of the relevant Corresponding Obligations (or by the Agent acting on behalf of such Secured Parties) of any amount in payment of the Corresponding Obligations shall also discharge the Parallel Debt in the amount of the relevant payment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Corresponding Obligations shall be discharged by a discharge of the Parallel Debt if such discharge of the Parallel Debt is effected by virtue of any set-off, counterclaim or similar defense invoked by a Loan Party vis-à-vis the Agent.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 33 the Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself and not as agent, representative or trustee of any other Secured Party.

SECTION 34. U.S. Borrower as Agent for the Loan Parties.

(a) Each Guarantor by its execution of this Agreement irrevocably appoints the U.S. Borrower to act on its behalf as its agent in relation to the Loan Documents and irrevocably authorizes:

(i) the U.S. Borrower on its behalf to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Finance Parties and to give all notices and instructions, to execute on its behalf any supplement, to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by that Guarantor notwithstanding that they may affect that Guarantor, without further reference to or the consent of that Guarantor; and

(ii) each Finance Party to give any notice, demand or other communication to that Guarantor pursuant to the Loan Documents to the U.S. Borrower,

and in each case the Guarantor shall be bound as though the Guarantor itself had given the notices and instructions or executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.

Guarantor or in connection with any Loan Document (whether or not known to any other Loan Party and whether occurring before or after such other Loan Party became a Loan Party under any Loan Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Guarantor as if that Guarantor had expressly made, given or concurred with it. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of the U.S. Borrower and any other Loan Party, those of the U.S. Borrower shall prevail.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

ANNEX I TO THE

GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

SUPPLEMENT NO. [ ] dated as of [ ] (this “Supplement”), to the Guarantee Agreement (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guarantee Agreement”) dated as [___], 2012, among each of the subsidiaries and parent holding companies from time to time party thereto (each such subsidiary individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) of WIRECO WORLDGROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the “U.S. Borrower”), and WRCA (LUXEMBOURG) HOLDINGS S. À R.L, a société à responsabilité limitée organized under the laws of Luxembourg (the “Lux Borrower” and together with the U.S. Borrower, the “Borrowers”), and FIFTH THIRD BANK, as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, and together with its successors and assigns, the “Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

B. The Guarantors have entered into the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Secured Parties to provide financial accommodations under the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Bank Product Obligation Agreements. Pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement, each Loan Party that was formed or acquired after the Closing Date and that was not a Loan Party on the date of the Closing Date is required to enter into the Guarantee Agreement as a Guarantor upon becoming a Loan Party. Section 21 of the Guarantee Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of the Parent may become Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Guarantor”) of Parent is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and as consideration for Loans previously made and in consideration for the Secured Parties provision of financial accommodations under the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Bank Product Obligation Agreements.

Accordingly, the Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 21 of the Guarantee Agreement, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Guarantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, the New Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor

and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment by the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)). Each reference to a Guarantor in the Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The Guarantee Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity and implied convenants of good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Guarantor and the Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile (or other electronic) transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 6. Any provision of this Supplement 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 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 15 of the Guarantee Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Guarantor shall be given to it at the address, telecopy number or e-mail address set forth under its signature below, with a copy to the Borrower.

SECTION 8. The New Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Agent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Agent.

SECTION 9. [Any local law provisions to be inserted, as applicable]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Guarantor and the Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the Guarantee Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Upon any distribution of assets of any Loan Party in the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Loan Party, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Loan Parties, then and in any such event, the representative or representatives, or the trustee or agent, under the Credit Agreement shall be entitled to

receive, for the benefit of the Secured Parties (the “Senior Parties”) as their respective interests may appear, indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due or to become due (whether or not an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents, any Secured Hedging Agreement or any Bank Product Obligation Agreement and the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable) on or in respect of any and all Senior Debt before the holder of any Intercompany Indebtedness owed such Company is entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on such Intercompany Indebtedness, and to that end, the Senior Parties shall be entitled to receive, as their interests may appear, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by such Company in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up event.

3. Payment Permitted if No Default. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any of the Companies from making payments or prepayments at any time of principal of or interest on any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, or the retention thereof by any of the Companies of any money deposited with them for the payment of or on account of the principal of or interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness so long as both (a) no Event of Default under Article VII(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) of the Credit Agreement, or Article VII(d) of the Credit Agreement in respect of a financial covenant breach only, (each a “Specified Event of Default”) has occurred and is continuing and (b) the Collateral Agent has not requested in writing that such payments be suspended during the continuance of any other Event of Default under the Loan Documents.

4. Receipt of Prohibited Payments. If, at any time after a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or in connection with any other Event of Default, the Collateral Agent has, pursuant to Section 3 above, requested the suspension of intercompany payments, a Company which is owed Intercompany Indebtedness by another Company shall have received any payment or distribution of assets from another Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Senior Parties as their respective interests may appear, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by such Company, and, upon the request of the Collateral Agent shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or with respect to a Company that is a Loan Party, held as collateral (in the case of noncash property or securities) for the payment of any past due amounts owing with respect to the Senior Debt.

5. Rights of Subrogation. Each Company agrees that no payment or distribution to the Senior Parties pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle it to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement and the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full.

6. Agreement Solely to Define Relative Rights. The purpose of this Agreement is solely to define the relative rights of the Companies, on the one hand, and the Senior Parties, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between the Companies and their creditors other than the Senior Parties, the obligation of the Companies to each other to pay the principal of and interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights among the Companies and their creditors other than the Senior Parties, nor shall anything herein prevent any of the Companies from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, subject to the rights, if any, under this Agreement of the Senior Parties to receive cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness.

7. No Implied Waivers of Subordination. No right of the Senior Parties to enforce subordination, as herein provided, shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Company or by any act or failure to act by the Senior Parties, or by any non-compliance by any Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of any agreement pursuant to which the Intercompany Indebtedness is created, regardless of any knowledge thereof any Senior Party may have or be otherwise charged with. Each Company by its acceptance hereof agrees that, until the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement and the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, such Company shall not, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, agree to sell, assign, pledge or encumber the obligations of the other Companies with respect to their Intercompany Indebtedness, other than by means of payment of such Intercompany Indebtedness according to its terms, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the Senior Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Companies except the Borrowers to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement, without incurring responsibility to the Companies and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of the Companies to the Senior Parties, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or extend the time of payment, renew or alter the Senior Debt or otherwise amend or supplement the Senior Debt or the Loan Documents, Secured Hedging Agreements and Bank Product Obligation Agreements; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the Senior Debt; (iii) release any person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any of the Companies and any other person.

8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate when all the Obligations (other than obligations with respect to indemnifications that expressly survive the termination of the Credit Agreement and are not due and payable or reasonably foreseeable on such date) have been performed, indefeasibly paid in full in cash or fully collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend.

9. Additional Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by any Subsidiary of Parent of a counterpart in a form substantially similar to Exhibit A hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Company hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Company hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Company hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Company as a party to this Agreement.

10. Modification, Amendments or Waivers. No failure or delay of the Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right 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 Collateral Agent hereunder and of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents, the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Bank Product Obligation Agreements are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Secured Hedging Agreement or Bank Product Obligation Agreement or consent to any departure by any Company therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Company in any case shall entitle such Company or any other Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

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

12. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Senior Parties and their respective successors and assigns, as permitted in the Credit Agreement, and the obligations of the Companies shall be binding upon their respective successors and assigns. The duties and obligations of the Companies may not be delegated or transferred by the Companies without the written consent of the Required Lenders and any such delegation or transfer without such consent shall be null and void.

14. Counterparts; Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two or more 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 but one contract, and shall become effective as to any Company when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Company shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Company and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Company, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Company shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Company and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Company without the approval of any other Company and without affecting the obligations of any other Company hereunder. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile (or email) transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

15. Attorneys-in-Fact. Each of the Companies hereby authorizes and empowers each of the Collateral Agent, at its election and in the name of either itself, for the benefit of the Senior Parties as their respective interests may appear, or in the name of each such Company as is owed Intercompany Indebtedness, to execute and file proofs and documents and take any other action the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary to protect the Senior Parties’ interests in the Intercompany Indebtedness and their right of enforcement thereof, and to that end each of the Companies hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints each of the Collateral Agent, its officers, employees and agents, or any of them, with full power of substitution, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of such Company, and with full power for such Company, and in the name, place and stead of such Company for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, and taking any action and executing, delivering, filing and recording any instruments which the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes hereof, which power of attorney, being given for security, is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Each Company hereby ratifies and confirms, and agrees to ratify and confirm, all actions taken by any of the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, employees or agents pursuant to the foregoing power of attorney.

16. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

17. Credit Agreement Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, each capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined herein that is defined in, or defined by reference in, the Credit Agreement with identical meanings, has the meaning provided for in the Credit Agreement.
