(a)                          Notice of Borrowings.  The Borrower shall give notice (i) to the Administrative Agent by no later than 12:00 P.M. New York time at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, and (ii) to the Administrative Agent by no later than 12:00 P.M. on the date the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, in each case pursuant to a duly completed Borrowing Request substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3 (each a “Borrowing Request”) executed on behalf of the Borrower.

(b)                         Notice of Continuation or Conversion of Outstanding Borrowings.  The Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirements in Section 2.2 for each outstanding Borrowing, a portion thereof, as follows:  (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurocurrency Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurocurrency Loans for an Interest Period specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice as set forth below, or the Borrower may earlier convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans so long as it pays the breakage fees and funding losses provided in Section 2.11; and (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars for an Interest Period specified by the Borrower on any Business Day, in each case pursuant to notices of continuation or conversion as set forth below.  The Borrower may select multiple Interest Periods for Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans, provided that at no time shall the number of different Interest Periods for outstanding Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans exceed ten (10) (it being understood for such purposes that (x) Interest Periods of the same duration, but commencing on different dates, shall be counted as different Interest Periods, and (y) all Interest Periods commencing on the same date and of the same duration shall be counted as one Interest Period regardless of the number of Borrowings or Loans involved.  Notices of the continuation of such Eurocurrency Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of such Eurocurrency Loans into Base Rate Loans or of such Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Loans must be given to the Administrative Agent by no later than 12:00 P.M. New York time at least three (3) Business Days before such continuation or conversion with respect to Eurocurrency Loans to be so continued or converted before the date of the requested continuation or conversion.

25

(c)                          Manner of Notice.  The Borrower shall give such notices concerning the advance, continuation, or conversion of a Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3 by approved electronic communication or by facsimile transmission (which notice shall be irrevocable once given) pursuant to a Borrowing Request which shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing, whether such Borrowing is 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 Eurocurrency Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto.  In addition, such notices with respect to Borrowings being advanced or continued, or converted from Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans, may be given by telephone notice to the Administrative Agent, promptly confirmed in writing as provided in this Section 2.3(c).  The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such approved electronic communication, facsimile transmission, or telephonic notice given by any Person it in good faith believes is an authorized representative of the Borrower without the necessity of independent investigation (and in the case of any permitted telephonic notice, if such notice conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon).

(d)                         Notice to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice by electronic communication, telex or facsimile transmission to each Lender of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.3 relating to a Borrowing.  The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable to each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may give such notice by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing as provided in this Section 2.3(d).

(e)                          Borrower’s Failure to Notify.  If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or Section 2.3(b), as the case may be, of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of any outstanding Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, and has not notified the Administrative Agent by 12:00 P.M. New York time at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the Interest Period for any outstanding Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, that it intends to repay such outstanding Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested, as applicable, (x) the continuation of such Borrowing as a Eurocurrency Loan in an Interest Period of three (3) months or (y) the advance of a new Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, which Borrowing pursuant to this clause (y) shall be deemed to have been funded on such date by the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.3(a) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such Borrowing but otherwise disregarding the conditions to Borrowings set forth in Section 4.2.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon notice thereof from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (i) each Eurocurrency Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to continue Eurocurrency Loans or convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended.

(f)                            Conversion.  If the Borrower shall elect to convert any particular Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3  from one Type of Loan to the other Type only in part, then, from and after the date on which such conversion shall be effective, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to instead constitute two Borrowings (each originally advanced on the same date as such particular Borrowing), one comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurocurrency Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Eurocurrency Loans and the second comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower shall elect to have multiple Interest

26

Periods apply to any particular Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Loans, then, from and after the date such multiple Interest Periods commence, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to constitute a number of separate Borrowings (each originally commencing on the same date as such particular Borrowing) equal to the number of, and corresponding to, the different Interest Periods so selected, each such deemed separate Borrowing corresponding to a particular selected Interest Period comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurocurrency Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to have such Interest Period.  This Section 2.3(f) shall be applied appropriately in the event that the Borrower shall make the elections described in the two preceding sentences at the same time with respect to the same particular Borrowing.

Section 2.4                                      Interest Periods.  As provided in Section 2.3, at the time of each request for a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, or for the continuation or conversion of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrower shall select the Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Loans from among the available options, subject to the limitations in Section 2.3; provided, however, that:

(a)                                  the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that extends beyond the Commitment Termination Date then applicable to any Lender;

(b)                                 whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall either be (i) extended to the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans only, reduced to the immediately preceding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month; and

(c)                                  for purposes of determining an Interest Period, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in the month in which an Interest Period is to end or if an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then in the case of Eurocurrency Loans only, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end.

Section 2.5                                      Funding of Loans.

(a)                          Disbursement of Loans.  Not later than 12:00 P.M. New York time with respect to Borrowings in Dollars of Eurocurrency Loans, and 3:00 P.M. New York time with respect to Base Rate Loans, on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Loans, each Lender, subject to all other provisions hereof, shall make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office its Loan comprising its portion of such Borrowing in funds immediately available for the benefit of the Administrative Agent in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account and according to the payment instructions of the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each such Borrowing available in immediately available funds to the Borrower (or as directed in writing by the Borrower) on such date.  Acceptance by the Borrower of any late amount shall not be deemed a waiver by the Borrower of any rights it may have against any Lender making funds available after the time prescribed above.  No Lender shall be responsible to the Borrower for any failure by another Lender to fund its portion of a Borrowing, and no such failure by a Lender shall relieve any other Lender from its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of a Borrowing.

(b)                         Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the time at which such Lender is scheduled to make

27

payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and in reliance upon such assumption may (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon for each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules and customs on interbank compensation.  If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, within one Business Day after written demand therefor, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but the Borrower will in no event be liable to pay any amounts otherwise due pursuant to Section 2.11 in respect of such repayment.  Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from any obligation to fund any Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.6                                      Applicable Interest Rates and Payments.

(a)                          Base Rate Loans.  Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Eurocurrency Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.  The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Base Rate Loans and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(b)                         Eurocurrency Loans.  Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or until conversion to a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of (x) Adjusted LIBOR, plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans.  The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Eurocurrency Loans and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to Base Rate Loans.

(c)                          Rate Determinations.  The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder insofar as such interest rate involves a determination of the Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR, or LIBOR Rate, or any applicable default rate pursuant to Section 2.7, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of the Administrative Agent’s manifest error or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of each determination of Adjusted LIBOR with respect to each Eurocurrency Borrowing.

(d)                         Interest Rate Adjustment in Certain Circumstances.  As part of entering into this Agreement, the parties hereto have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set forth in this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that in the event that (A) Swiss Withholding Tax is due on interest payments or other payments by any Loan Party under this Agreement and (B) such Loan Party is unable,

by reason of Swiss law, to comply with Section 3.3(a) (as such Section would be in effect without giving effect to this Section 2.6(d)), the interest rates payable by such Loan Party under this Agreement, including limitations herein, shall be increased in such a way that the amount of interest effectively paid to each Lender corresponds to an amount which (after making any deduction of the Non-Refundable Portion (as defined below) of the Swiss Withholding Tax) equals the payment that would have been due had no deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax been required.  For the purposes of this Section 2.6(d), “Non-Refundable Portion” shall mean Swiss Withholding Tax at the standard rate (being, as at the date hereof, 35%) unless a tax ruling issued by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirms that, in relation to a specific Lender based on an applicable double tax treaty, the Non-Refundable Portion is a specified lower rate in which case such lower rate shall be applied in relation to such Lender.  The Borrower or Holdings shall provide to the Administrative Agent the documents required by law or applicable double taxation treaties for the Lenders to claim a refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted.

Section 2.7                                      Default Rate.  If any payment of principal or interest on any Loan is not made when due after the expiration of the grace period therefor provided in Section 7.1(a) (whether by acceleration or otherwise), such principal or interest amount shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed) after any such grace period expires until such amount then due is paid in full, which the Borrower agrees to pay on demand, at a rate per annum equal to:

(a)                                  for any Base Rate Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of (x) two percent (2%) per annum, plus (y) the rate of interest in effect on such Base Rate Loan as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(a); and

(b)                                 for any Eurocurrency Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of (x) two percent (2%) per annum, plus (y) the rate of interest in effect on such Eurocurrency Loan as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(b) at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan and, thereafter, at a rate per annum pursuant to this clause (y) equal to the rate of interest as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(a).

It is the intention of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to them.  Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or other Obligation would be usurious as to any of the Lenders under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document, it is agreed as follows:  (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document or otherwise shall under no circumstances exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and any excess shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans (or, if the principal amount of the Loans shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder or holders thereof resulting from any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender may never include more than the Highest Lawful Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement, the Notes, any other Credit Document or otherwise shall be automatically canceled by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans (or if the principal amount of the Loans shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower).

Section 2.8                                      Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)                          Repayment of Loans.  The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, on the Commitment Termination Date for such Lender, the unpaid amount of each Loan then outstanding and owed to such Lender.

(b)                         Record of Loans by Lenders.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and accrued interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c)                          Record of Loans by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or accrued interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower 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.

(d)                         Evidence of Obligations.  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) or 2.8(c) 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 Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)                          Notes.  The Loans outstanding to the Borrower from each Lender shall, at the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower payable to such Lender in the form of Exhibit 2.8 (Master Note) or, if such Lender so requests in writing, by one or more individual promissory notes of the Borrower in similar form (each a “Note”).  The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender requesting one or more promissory notes as aforesaid, an original of each such promissory note, appropriately completed, to evidence the respective Loans made by such Lender hereunder, within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower receives a written request therefor.

(f)                            Recording of Loans and Payments on Notes.  Each holder of a Note shall record on its books and records or on a schedule to its appropriate Note (and prior to any transfer of any Note shall endorse thereon or on schedules forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence) the amount of each Loan outstanding from it to the Borrower evidenced by such Note, all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon, the type of such Loan and, if a Eurocurrency Loan the Interest Period and interest rate applicable thereto.  Such record, whether shown on the books and records of a holder of a Note or on a schedule to its Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such matters; provided, however, that the failure of any holder to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans outstanding to it hereunder together with accrued interest thereon.  At the request of any holder of a Note and upon such holder tendering to the Borrower the Note to be replaced, the Borrower shall furnish a new Note to such holder to replace any outstanding Note and at such time the first notation appearing on the schedule on the reverse side of, or attached to, such new Note shall set forth the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans evidenced by such Note, if any, then outstanding thereon.

Section 2.9                                      Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Base Rate Borrowing without premium or penalty at any time in whole or at any time and from time to time in part

30

(but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $1,000,000); provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. on the date of such prepayment.  The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Eurocurrency Borrowing (a) without premium or penalty in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple or such smaller amount as needed to prepay a particular Borrowing in full) only on the last Business Day of an Interest Period for such Borrowing, and (b) at any other time without premium or penalty except for the breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the last Business Day of such Interest Period or the proposed prepayment date.  Any such prepayments shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment.  Unless otherwise specified in writing by the Borrower, optional prepayments shall be applied first, to the Loans, and second, to any other Obligations then outstanding.

Section 2.10                                Mandatory Prepayments of Loans and Reductions of Commitments.

(a)                          In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.  Immediately upon determining the need to make any such prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such required prepayment and of the identity of the particular Borrowings being prepaid.  If the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Administrative Agent has determined that any prepayment is required under this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall make such prepayment no later than the second Business Day following such notice.  Any mandatory prepayment pursuant hereto shall not be limited by the notice provision for prepayments set forth in Section 2.9.  Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans prepaid and any applicable breakage fees and funding losses pursuant to Section 2.11.

(b)                         In addition to any other mandatory prepayments or Commitment reductions required pursuant to this Section 2.10, but without duplication, on the date of any Collateral Disposition (other than (i) a Collateral Disposition constituting an Event of Loss or (ii) a Collateral Disposition of a Collateral Rig that is replaced by an Acceptable Rig pursuant to a Rig Exchange on or before the Collateral Disposition of such Collateral Rig), the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount shall be automatically reduced in an amount equal to the Collateral Percentage applicable to such Collateral Rig multiplied by the outstanding Revolving Credit Commitment Amount at such time and the Borrower shall promptly prepay Borrowings to the extent required by the provisions of clause (a) above (after giving effect to the Commitment reduction set forth in this clause (b)).

(c)                          In addition to any other mandatory prepayments or Commitment reductions required pursuant to this Section 2.10, but without duplication, (i) on the date that is 60 days after the occurrence of an Event of Loss, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Collateral Rigs on such date (not including the Collateral Rig subject to such Event of Loss) is less than 125% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans on such date, the Borrower shall be required to prepay Loans in an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Collateral Rigs on such date (not including the Collateral Rig that is subject to such Event of Loss) to equal or exceed 125% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans after giving effect to such prepayment, and (ii) on the date that is 180 days after the occurrence of such Event of Loss, if the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Collateral Rigs on such date (not including the Collateral Rig subject to such Event of Loss) is less than 125% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Lenders on such date, the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect shall be permanently reduced by an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Collateral Rigs on such date (not including the Collateral

31

Rig that is subject to such Event of Loss) to equal or exceed 125% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to such Commitment reduction.

(d)                         In addition to any other mandatory prepayments or Commitment reductions required pursuant to this Section 2.10, but without duplication, if on December 31 of any calendar year the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Collateral Rigs on such date is less than 125% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans on such date, within 30 days thereafter, in the Borrower’s sole discretion, either (i) the Borrower shall prepay Loans in an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Collateral Rigs to equal or exceed 125% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans after giving effect to such prepayment or (ii) the Borrower or a Subsidiary of Holdings that owns an Acceptable Rig (that is not then a Collateral Rig) shall have duly authorized, executed and delivered, and caused to be recorded in the appropriate rig registry a Collateral Rig Mortgage with respect to such Acceptable Rig, and such Collateral Rig Mortgage shall be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent a legal, valid and enforceable first priority security interest in and lien upon such Acceptable Rig, subject only to Permitted Liens, and the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements with respect thereto shall have been satisfied or waived by the Administrative Agent and, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Fair Market Value of such Collateral Rigs is at least 125% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans.

Section 2.11                                Breakage Fees.  If any Lender incurs any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits and other indirect or consequential damages) by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan as a result of any of the following events (other than any such occurrence as a result of a change of circumstance described in Sections 8.1 or 8.2):

(a)                                  any payment, prepayment or conversion of any such Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period (whether by acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise);

(b)                                 any failure to make a principal payment of any such Loan on the due date therefor;

(c)                                  any failure by the Borrower to borrow, continue or prepay, or convert to, any such Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.3 (other than by reason of a default of such Lender); or

(d)                                 any assignment of such Eurocurrency Loan that is required by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.6;

then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense.  Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) with respect to a Eurocurrency Loan, the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Margin for such 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 Loan) over (ii) the amount of interest that 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 deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London or European interbank market.  If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the

32

basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) no later than ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation, and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be prima facie evidence of such Lender’s entitlement thereto.  Within ten (10) days of receipt of such certificate, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such amount as will compensate such Lender for such loss, cost or expense as provided herein, unless such Lender has failed to timely give notice to the Borrower of such claim for compensation as provided herein, in which event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim.

Section 2.12                                [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.13                                Optional Commitment Terminations.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior and irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate or reduce the Commitments without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, with any partial reduction (i) to be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 as determined by the Borrower and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 and (ii) as to the Commitments to be allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments; provided that the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount may not be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans after giving effect to payments on such proposed termination or reduction date.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination or reduction of the Commitments.  Any termination of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13 is permanent and may not be reinstated.

Section 2.14                                Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)                                  commitment fees otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(b)                                 the Commitment and aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders (or each Lender) or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.11); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification providing for an increase in such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, providing for an extension of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, or requiring the consent of each directly and adversely affected Lender pursuant to Section 10.11(i)(B) if such Defaulting Lender is a directly and adversely affected Lender;

(c)                                  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 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.6 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or as a

33

result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, 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 in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments.  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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(d)                                 in the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such previous Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such previous Defaulting Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided, however, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party while such previous Defaulting Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and

(e)                                  the rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.14 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, Borrower or any other Loan Party may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender (whether or not such Defaulting Lender has subsequently ceased to be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(d)).

Section 2.15                                Incremental Commitments.  (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time or from time to time on or after the Effective Date, upon written notice to and in coordination with the Administrative Agent as to all matters set forth in this Section 2.15, to request that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Eligible Assignees which will become Lenders) provide Incremental Commitments (the “Incremental Commitment Increase”), provided that:

(i)                                     no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Commitment as a result of any such request by the Borrower;

(ii)                                  any Lender (including any Eligible Assignees which will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Commitment without the consent of any other Lender;

(iii)                               the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15 on a given date pursuant to a particular Incremental Commitment Agreement shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Lenders and other Eligible Assignees who will become Lenders pursuant thereto) of not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Borrower) and shall be in integral multiples of $5,000,000;

34

(iv)                              such Incremental Commitments shall not exceed an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000;

(v)                                 the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment Agreement;

(vi)                              the Borrower shall not obtain Incremental Commitment Increases pursuant to this Section 2.15 more than five times and each notice thereof from the Borrower shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Commitment Increase;

(vii)                           the upfront fees payable to each Incremental Lender in respect of each Incremental Commitment shall be separately agreed to by the Borrower and each such Incremental Lender; and

(viii)                        (x) on the effective date of any Incremental Commitment Increase, the Commitment of each Lender shall be increased by the amount of the Incremental Commitment Increase incurred by such Lender, if any, and (y) the Loans incurred pursuant to such Incremental Commitment Increase shall constitute Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and shall be made on the same terms as the Loans and, as a consequence, all such Loans (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Collateral Rig Mortgages, and receive the benefit of the Guarantees, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations secured by the Collateral Rig Mortgages and receiving the benefit of the Guarantees.

(b)                         On or prior to the effective date of any Incremental Commitment Increase, the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

(i)                                     the Borrower and each such Lender or other Eligible Assignee (each an “Incremental Lender”) which agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.15 (appropriately completed) (each an “Incremental Commitment Agreement”), with the effectiveness of such Incremental Lender’s Incremental Commitment to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement, provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Eligible Assignee providing such Incremental Commitment if such consent would be required under Section 10.10 for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Eligible Assignee;

(ii)                                  the Borrower and each Loan Party shall have delivered such amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the Credit Documents as are necessary or in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, desirable to insure that the additional Obligations to be incurred pursuant to the Incremental Commitments are secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the Collateral Rig Mortgages and the Guarantees;

(iii)                               the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that the additional Obligations to be incurred on such date pursuant to the Incremental

35

Commitments are permitted by the terms of the outstanding Indebtedness of Holdings and its applicable Subsidiaries;

(iv)                              the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such other officers’ certificates, board of director resolutions and evidence of existence and good standing, where applicable, as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request;

(v)                                 each of the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except any such representation or warranty that is qualified or limited by its terms by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct) at the time of a request for Incremental Commitments and upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitment Agreement (in each case, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(vi)                              no Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of a request for Incremental Commitments or upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitment Agreement; and

(vii)                           after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment Increase, any limitations on Subsidiary Indebtedness or secured Indebtedness set forth in any material agreement (including, without limitation, the Indentures and the Existing Credit Agreement) that is binding on Holdings and/or any of its Subsidiaries will not be exceeded and, upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have provided the Administrative Agent with calculations in reasonable detail to establish the satisfaction of this condition precedent.

(c)                          On the effective date of any Incremental Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Loans of the existing Lenders and incur additional Loans from certain other new Lenders, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Incremental Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the total Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.15). The Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the respective Lenders the costs of the type referred to in Section 2.11 in connection with any such repayment and/or Borrowing.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the extent such requirements are inconsistent with such sentence.

Section 2.16                                Lenders as Qualifying Lenders.  Each Lender party hereto on the Effective Date represents that it is a Qualifying Lender.  Any Lender which ceases to be a Qualifying Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower that it has ceased to be a Qualifying Lender.  Upon the occurrence of such event, so long as no Event of Default has occurred under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), the relevant Lender shall be required to assign or transfer by novation all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee qualifying as a Qualifying Lender or another Lender qualifying as a Qualifying Lender, all in accordance with Section 10.10.  The Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for determining whether or not an entity is a Qualifying Lender, and shall have no liability for any such determinations made hereunder.

36

ARTICLE 3    FEES AND PAYMENTS.

Section 3.1                                      Fees.

(a)                          Commitment Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 2.14), a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on December 31, 2012, on the date(s) on which such Lender’s Commitment shall have terminated, and on the Maturity Date.  All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b)                         Administrative Agent Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and to the Joint Lead Arrangers the fees from time to time agreed to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and Joint Lead Arrangers, as the case may be.

(c)                          Payment of Fees.  All fees payable under this Section 3.1 shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees to the Lenders.

Section 3.2                                      Place and Application of Payments.

(a)                          All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Credit Documents shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, for the benefit of the Lenders entitled to such payments, in immediately available funds on the due date thereof, no later than 2:00 P.M. in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower.  Any payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower after the time specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent will, on the same day each payment is received or deemed to have been received in accordance with this Section 3.2, cause to be distributed in like funds to each Lender owed an Obligation for which such payment was received, pro rata based on the respective amounts of such type of Obligation then owing to each Lender.

(b)                         If any payment received by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order set forth in Section 7.7.  In calculating the amount of Obligations owing each Lender other than for principal and interest on Loans and fees under Section 3.1, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to include such other Obligations that Lenders have certified to the Administrative Agent in writing are due to such Lenders.

(c)                          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact

37

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.

Section 3.3                                      Withholding Taxes.

(a)                          Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in good faith by an applicable Withholding Agent) requires deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.3), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had not such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)                         Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)                          Indemnification by the Loan Parties.  The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.3) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)                         Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.10(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.3(d).

(e)                          Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Borrower or such other Loan Party

38

shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)                            Status of Lenders.

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

(ii)                          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is or becomes a U.S. Person,

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

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

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

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

39

(3)                                  in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4)                                  to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3-2 or Exhibit 3.3-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D)                               if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such 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 (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g)                         Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.3), it shall pay to

40

the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.3(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.3(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 3.3(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)                         Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

(i)                             Indemnity.  If the Administrative Agent shall be required to deduct any Taxes from payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lenders hereunder, it shall make such deductions and shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.  Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes attributable to such payments made to such Lender that are paid by the Administrative Agent and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom and with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

The Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent as follows:

Each of the Borrower, Holdings, the other Loan Parties, and each other material Member of the Consolidated Group: (i) is duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or registration (as the case may be); (ii) has all necessary organizational power and authority to own the property and assets it uses in its business and otherwise to carry on its present business; and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the nature of the property owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing, as the case may be, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.2                                      Power and Authority; Validity.  Each of the Borrower, Holdings, and the other Loan Parties has the organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Credit Documents.  Each of the Borrower, Holdings, and the other Loan Parties has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, Holdings, or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles.

Section 5.3                                      No Violation.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower, Holdings, or the other Loan Parties of the Credit Documents to which it is a party nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, will (i) contravene in any material respect any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any term, covenant, condition or other provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien, other than any Permitted Lien, upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group under, the terms of any material contractual obligation to which the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group is a party or by which they or any of their properties or assets are bound or to which they may be subject, or (iii) violate or conflict with any provision of the memorandum of association and articles of association, charter, articles or certificate of incorporation, registration by way of continuation, partnership or limited liability company agreement, by-laws, or other applicable governance documents of the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group.

Section 5.4                                      Litigation.  Except as may be described on Schedule 5.4 (the matters set forth therein being collectively referred to as the “Disclosed Matters”), there are no actions, suits, proceedings or counterclaims (including, without limitation, derivative or injunctive actions) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, Holdings or any Loan Party, threatened against the Borrower, Holdings, any Loan Party or any other Member of the Consolidated Group that are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.5                                      Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

Section 5.7                                      True and Complete Disclosure.  All factual information (taken as a whole, and excluding information of a general economic or industry nature) furnished by the Borrower, Holdings, any other Loan Party, or any other Member of the Consolidated Group in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in connection with any Credit Document or any transaction contemplated therein did not, as of the date such information was furnished (or, if such information expressly related to a specific date, as of such specific date), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (taken as a whole), in light of the circumstances under which such information was furnished, not materially misleading, except for such statements, if any, as have been updated, corrected, supplemented, superseded or modified pursuant to a written correction or supplement furnished to the Administrative Agent and such Lenders, as the case may be, prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 5.8                                      Financial Statements.  The financial statements heretofore delivered to the Lenders for Holdings’ fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and for Holdings’ fiscal quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2012, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent, except as otherwise noted therein, in accordance with GAAP, with Holdings consolidated financial statements for the previous fiscal year.  Such annual and quarterly financial statements fairly present in all material respects on a consolidated basis the financial position of Holdings as of the dates thereof, and the results of operations for the periods indicated, subject in the case of interim financial statements to normal year-end audit adjustments and omission of certain footnotes (as permitted by the SEC).  As of the Effective Date, Holdings and its Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, had no material contingent liabilities or material Indebtedness required under GAAP to be disclosed in a consolidated balance sheet of Holdings that were not included in the financial statements referred to in this Section 5.8 or disclosed in the notes thereto or in writing to the Administrative Agent (with a written request to the Administrative Agent to distribute such disclosure to the Lenders) unless otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

Section 5.11                                Consents.  On the Effective Date, all material consents and approvals of, and filings and registrations with, and all other actions of, all governmental agencies, authorities or instrumentalities required to have been obtained or made by the Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party in order for the Borrower to obtain the Loans hereunder have been or will have been obtained or made and are or will be in full force and effect.

(a)                                  First, to the payment of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, as provided by this Agreement or by any other Credit Document, incurred in connection with the collection of such payment or in respect of the enforcement of any rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document;

(b)                                 Second, to the payment of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lenders, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, as provided by this Agreement or by any other Credit Document, incurred in connection with the collection of such payment or in respect of the enforcement of any rights of the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, pro rata in the proportion in which the amount of such costs and expenses unpaid to each Lender bears to the aggregate amount of the costs and expenses unpaid to all Lenders, until all such fees, costs and expenses have been paid in full;

(c)                                  Third, to the payment of any due and unpaid fees to the Administrative Agent or any Lender as provided by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, pro rata in the proportion in which the amount of such fees due and unpaid to the Administrative Agent and each Lender bears to the aggregate amount of the fees due and unpaid to the Administrative Agent and all Lenders collectively, until all such fees have been paid in full;

ARTICLE 8    CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Section 8.1                                      Illegality.

(a)                          Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if at any time any Change in Law shall occur that makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, such Lender shall promptly give written notice thereof and of the basis therefor in reasonable detail to the Borrower, and such Lender’s obligations to fund affected Eurocurrency Loans or make, continue or convert such Loans under this Agreement, shall thereupon be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Loans.

(b)                         Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrower referred to in Section 8.1(a) in respect of any such Loan, and provided the Borrower shall not have prepaid such Loan pursuant to Section 2.9, (i) any outstanding amount of such Loan of such Lender shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan in Dollars on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto or on such earlier date as required by law, and (ii) such Lender shall make or continue its portion of any requested Borrowing of such Loan as a Base Rate Loan, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all other purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.

(c)                          Any Lender that has given any notice pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall, upon determining that it would no longer be unlawful for it to make such Loans, give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon giving such notice, its obligation to make, allow conversions into and maintain such Loans shall be reinstated.

Section 8.2                                      Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain LIBOR Rate.  If on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (after consultation with the other Lenders) that, due to any Change in Law or any other changes in circumstances in the applicable interbank markets since the date hereof, adequate and fair means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate (including without limitation, the unavailability of matching deposits in the applicable currency) or such rate will not accurately reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of funding Eurocurrency Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (in reasonable detail) of such determination and of the basis therefor to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Administrative Agent shall do promptly after they do not exist), (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make, continue or convert Loans as or into such Eurocurrency Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into such Eurocurrency Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each Eurocurrency Loan will automatically on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 8.3                                      Increased Costs and Reduced Return.

(a)                          If any Change in Law:

(i)                                     subjects any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Commitments, or other obligations under the Credit Documents, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(ii)                                  imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding for any Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or imposes on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than

68

Taxes) affecting its Loans, or its participation in any thereof, or its obligation to advance or maintain Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of advancing, continuing, converting, or maintaining any Loan, or maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or issuing or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) in connection therewith under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, then, subject to Section 8.3(d), from time to time, within ten (10) days after receipt of a certificate from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 8.3(d) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions suffered.

(b)                         If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or its Applicable Lending Office, regarding liquidity or capital adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital, or on the capital of any Person controlling such Lender, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy in effect immediately before such Change in Law or compliance) then, subject to Section 8.3(d), from time to time, within ten (10) days after its receipt of a certificate from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 8.3(d) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reductions suffered.

(c)                          If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to, the Borrower is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) is reduced) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, by reason of the fact that the Borrower is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, the Cayman Islands, or other Specified Jurisdictions, the Borrower shall, subject to Section 8.3(d), indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent).  A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.3(c) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (and the basis for the calculation of such amount or amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 8.3(c) to the extent the increased costs for which such Lender is claiming compensation have been or are being incurred at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor was entitled immediately prior to the assignment to such Lender to receive compensation with respect to such increased costs pursuant to this Section 8.3(c).  The foregoing provisions shall not apply to Taxes on payments by any Loan Party hereunder, which shall be governed solely by Section 3.3.

(d)                         The Administrative Agent and each Lender that determines to seek compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.3 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, of the circumstances that entitle the Administrative Agent or such Lender to such compensation no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder.  In any event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 180th day preceding such written demand, except if the law, rule, order or interpretation giving rise to such request for compensation has retroactive effect, such one hundred

69

eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include such retroactive period.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, additional interest, and any payment under Section 3.3, including, without limitation, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office, if such action or designation will not, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Agent or such Lender made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not in any way affect the rights of any Lender or the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.3, (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make its Eurocurrency Loans hereunder at any office located in the United States of America, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such designation of a different Applicable Lending Office.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, claiming compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.3, and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and accompanied by a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail the calculations thereof, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 8.4                                      Applicable Lending Offices.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender may, at its option, elect to make or maintain its Loans hereunder at its Applicable Lending Office for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, provided that, except in the case of any such transfer to another of its branches, offices or affiliates made at the request of the Borrower, the Borrower shall not be responsible for the costs arising under Section 3.3 or 8.3 resulting from any such transfer to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer.

Section 8.5                                      Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding.  Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit.

Section 8.6                                      Substitution of Lender.  If (a) any Lender has demanded compensation or additional interest or given notice of its intention to demand compensation or additional interest under Section 8.3, (b) any Lender is unable to submit any form or certificate required under Section 3.3(f) or withdraws or cancels any previously submitted form with no substitution therefor, (c) any Lender gives notice of any Change in Law pursuant to Section 8.1, (d) any Lender has been declared insolvent or a receiver or conservator has been appointed for a material portion of its assets, business or properties or such Lender is otherwise a Defaulting Lender, (e) any Lender shall seek to avoid its obligation to make or maintain Loans hereunder for any reason, including, without limitation, reliance upon 12 U.S.C. § 1821(e) or (n)(1)(B), (f) any Taxes referred to in Section 3.3 or 10.3 have been levied or imposed (or the Borrower determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that such Taxes will be levied or imposed) so as to require withholding or deductions by the Borrower or payment by the Borrower of additional amounts to any Lender, or other reimbursement or indemnification of any Lender, as a result thereof, (g) any Lender shall decline to consent to a modification or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents requested by the Borrower that has otherwise been approved by the Required Lenders or (h) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), any Lender that is not a Qualifying Lender, then and in any such event upon request from the Borrower delivered to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall assign, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.10(a) and an appropriately completed Assignment Agreement, all of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents to another Lender or a Qualifying Lender selected by the Borrower and (in the case of a Qualifying Lender other than a Lender) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in consideration for the payments set forth in such Assignment Agreement and payment by the Borrower to such Lender of all other amounts which such Lender may be owed pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2.11, 3.3, 8.3 and 10.13.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make such assignment if (i) prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender otherwise, the

70

circumstances entitling the Borrower to request such assignment cease to apply, (ii) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender declining to consent as described in clause (g) of the preceding sentence, the applicable assignee shall not have consented to the applicable modification or waiver, (iii) in the case of an assignment resulting from a claim for payments or compensation by such Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 or 8.3, such assignment will not result in a reduction in such payments or compensation, or (iv) such assignment conflicts with applicable law.

ARTICLE 9    THE AGENTS.

Section 9.1                                      Appointment and Authorization of Agents.

(a)                          Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes DNB Bank ASA as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents (including in its capacity as security trustee under to the Collateral Rig Mortgages) to take such actions on each of its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as security trustee under to the Collateral Rig Mortgages), the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any other 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” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (including in its capacity as security trustee under to the Collateral Rig Mortgages) is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(b)                         The Lenders hereby irrevocably appoint DNB Bank ASA as security trustee solely for the purpose of holding legal title to the Collateral Rig Mortgages on each of the Collateral Rigs on behalf of the Lenders from time to time, with regard to the (i) security, powers, rights, titles, benefits and interests (both present and future) constituted by and conferred on the Lenders or any of them or for the benefit thereof under or pursuant to the Collateral Rig Mortgages (including, without limitation, the benefit of all covenants, undertakings, representations, warranties and obligations given, made or undertaken by any Lender in the Collateral Rig Mortgages), (ii) all money, property and other assets paid or transferred to or vested in any Lender or any agent of any Lender or received or recovered by any Lender or any agent of any Lender pursuant to, or in connection with the Collateral Rig Mortgages, whether from the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other person and (iii) all money, investments, property and other assets at any time representing or deriving from any of the foregoing, including all interest, income and other sums at any time received or receivable by any Lender or any agent of any Lender in respect of the same (or any part thereof).  DNB Bank ASA hereby accepts such appointment as security trustee.

(c)                          None of the other Lenders appointed as Syndication Agent or one of the Co-Documentation Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers and/or Other Agents shall have any duties, responsibilities, or obligations hereunder in such capacity.

Section 9.2                                      Rights and Powers.  The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Other Agents shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or an Other Agent, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Other Agents and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, Holdings, or any other Members of the Consolidated Group or their Affiliates as if it were not an Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or an Other Agent

71

under the Credit Documents.  The term Lender as used in all Credit Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Other Agents in their respective individual capacities as a Lender.

Section 9.3                                      Actions by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

(a)                          The obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth therein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i)                                     shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(ii)                                  shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy or other insolvency law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any bankruptcy or other insolvency law.

(b)                         Unless and until the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders) give such direction (including, without limitation, the giving of a notice of Default as described in Section 7.1(c)), the Administrative Agent may, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Credit 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, expenses, and liabilities it may incur in taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default, other than non-payment of any scheduled principal or interest payment due hereunder, exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Borrower.  In all cases in which the Credit Documents do not require the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder.  Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under specific provisions of the Credit Documents, shall be binding on all the Lenders and holders of Notes.

Section 9.4                                      Consultation with Experts.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.5                                      Exculpatory Provisions; Credit Decisions.

(a)                          Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in connection with the Credit Documents

72

(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders), or (ii) in the absence of their own gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Borrowing; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group contained herein or in any other Credit Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 4, except receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Credit Document or of any other documents or writings furnished in connection with any Credit Document; and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent make no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matters mentioned in this sentence.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may execute any of their duties under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties.  In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by any of them under the Credit Documents.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with such Administrative Agent signed by such payee in form satisfactory to such Administrative Agent.

(b)                         Each Lender acknowledges that it has independently, and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, obtained such information and made such investigations and inquiries regarding the Borrower, Holdings, and the other Members of the Consolidated Group as it deems appropriate, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Credit Documents.  It shall be the responsibility of each Lender to keep itself informed about the creditworthiness and business, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) and prospects of the Borrower, Holdings, and the other Members of the Consolidated Group, and the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Lender for such matters.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not expressly required by any Credit Document to be furnished to it and the Lenders by the Borrower, Holdings, or any other Members of the Consolidated Group at such time, but is voluntarily furnished to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

Section 9.6                                      Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to 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 that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.

73

Section 9.7                                      Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding in respect of any Bankruptcy Event or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan 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 Borrower or Holdings) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)                                  to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal, interest and fees owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and all other amounts due the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent hereunder allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)                                 to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender 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, 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 hereunder.

Section 9.8                                      Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a)                          Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Rig Mortgages for the benefit of the Lenders.  Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Rig Mortgages, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Rig Mortgages which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Rig Mortgages.

(b)                         The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(i)                                     to release any Lien on any Collateral Rig granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Collateral Rig Mortgage (w) upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full and satisfaction of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (x) in connection with a Flag Jurisdiction Transfer, (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, in connection with a Rig Exchange), or (z) subject to Section 10.11, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and

74

(ii)                                  to release (x) any Guarantor (other than Holdings, TINC or any Subsidiary of Holdings that owns a Collateral Rig) from its obligations under the Guarantees and the Collateral Rig Mortgage if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of Holdings as a result of a transaction not prohibited under the Credit Documents or (y) release any Guarantor (other than Holdings, TINC or any Subsidiary of Holdings that owns a Collateral Rig) from its obligations under the relevant Guarantee and Collateral Rig Mortgages if such Subsidiary ceases to own a Collateral Rig in connection with a transaction not prohibited under the Credit Documents; provided that, to the extent such Guarantor also guarantees the obligations of TINC under the Existing Credit Agreement (including any extension, renewal or refinancing thereof), such Guarantor shall only be released from its obligations under the relevant Guarantee and Collateral Rig Mortgages if such Guarantor is released from its guarantee of the obligations of TINC under the Existing Credit Agreement (including any extension, renewal or refinancing thereof) substantially simultaneously.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.8.

(c)                          The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of any Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of such Collateral.

Section 9.9                                      Indemnity.  The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and their Related Parties harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in such capacities under any Credit Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.10                                Resignation of Agents.  The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign at any time and shall resign upon any removal thereof as a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent or any Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.  If no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, which shall be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent

75

or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under the Credit Documents.  Whether or not a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed, the resignation of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall become effective on the date specified in its notice of resignation, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Article 9 and all protective provisions of the other Credit Documents shall thereafter continue in effect for its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Section 9.11                                Sub-Agents.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more Sub-Agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such Sub-Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article 9 shall apply to any such Sub-Agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such Sub-Agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Sub-Agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such Sub-Agents.

ARTICLE 10    MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 10.1                                No Waiver.  No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or on the part of the holder or holders of any Notes, in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any departure from the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document on any occasion, shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any Default or Event of Default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power, right or remedy.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making or continuation of any Loans or, extension of the expiration date, shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any powers, rights or remedies any of them would otherwise have.

Section 10.2                                Non-Business Day.  Subject to Section 2.4, if any payment of principal or interest on any portion of any Loan, or any other Obligation shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest or fees (as applicable) at the rate, if any, such portion of any Loan, or other Obligation bears for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue in the manner set forth herein on such Obligation from the stated due date thereof to the next succeeding Business Day, on which the same shall instead be payable.

Section 10.3                                Documentary Taxes.  The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp, debt issuance, or similar taxes payable with respect to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that may be levied or otherwise become payable on any Loans or this Agreement, any Note, the Subsidiary Guaranty, or any other Credit Document under the laws of any jurisdiction, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are levied or assessed, irrespective of when such levy or assessment is made, other than any such taxes imposed as a result of any transfer of an interest in a Credit Document.  Each Lender that determines to seek compensation under this Section 10.3 shall give written notice to the Borrower and, in the case of a Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle such Lender to such compensation no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender receives actual notice or obtains

76

actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder.  In any event, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 180th day preceding such written demand.

Section 10.4                                Survival of Representations.  All representations and warranties made herein or in certificates given pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as the Borrower has any Obligation hereunder or any Commitment hereunder is in effect.

Section 10.5                                Survival of Indemnities.  All indemnities and all provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans, including, but not limited to, Sections 2.11, 3.3, 7.6, 8.3, 10.3, and 10.13 hereof, shall, subject to Section 8.3(c), survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations and, with respect to any Lender, any replacement by the Borrower of such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, in each case for a period of one (1) year.

Section 10.6                                Setoff; Sharing of Payments.

(a)                          In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of, and throughout the continuance of, any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower, Holdings, and each other Loan Party at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower, Holdings, or any other Loan Party or other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other Indebtedness at any time owing by that Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower, Holdings, or any other Loan Party, whether or not matured, against and on account of the due and unpaid obligations and liabilities of the Borrower, Holdings, or any other Loan Party to that Lender or that subsequent holder under the Credit Documents, irrespective of whether or not that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder, or the obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or other obligation; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Each Lender shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any action taken by it under this Section 10.6(a), provided that any failure of such Lender to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff.

(b)                         Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender receives and retains any payment, whether by setoff or application of deposit balances or otherwise, in respect of the Loans in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then owed to the Lenders hereunder, then such Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans and participations therein held by each such other Lender as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without

77

interest.  The provisions of this Section 10.6(b) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 10.6(b) shall apply).  Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 10.7                                Notices.

(a)                          Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices under the Credit Documents shall be in writing (including facsimile or other electronic means) and shall be given to a party hereunder at its address or facsimile number set forth below or such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telegram or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.  Notices under the Credit Documents to the Lenders shall be addressed to their respective domestic Applicable Lending Offices in the United States at the respective addresses, facsimile numbers, or telephone numbers set forth on their applicable Administrative Questionnaire or, in the case of Persons becoming Lenders pursuant to Assignment Agreements, on their applicable Assignment Agreements, and to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent:

78

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient).  Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in Section 10.7(b), shall be effective as provided in Section 10.7(b).

(b)                         Electronic Communications.  Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article 2  if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(c)                          Platform.

(i)                                     Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(ii)                                  The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”  The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without

79

limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the Platform.  “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to any Credit Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 10.7, including through the Platform.

Section 10.8                                Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties on different counterpart signature pages, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Section 10.9                                Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower, each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any Note; provided, however, (i) except as provided in Section 6.10, neither the Borrower, Holdings, nor any other Loan Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document without the written consent of all Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may not assign any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Document except in accordance with Article 9, and (iii) no Lender may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document except in accordance with Section 10.10.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer on any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Other Agents, and the Indemnified Parties as defined in Section 10.13) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.10                          Sales and Transfers of Borrowings and Notes; Participations.

(a)                          Assignments by Lenders.  Subject to this Section 10.10, any Lender may at any time assign to another bank or financial institution that is a Qualifying Lender all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (x) notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), assignments may be made by any Lender to another bank or financial institution that is not a Qualifying Lender, and (y) such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)                                     Minimum Amounts.

(A)                              in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)                                in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 10.10(a), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of

80

Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)                                  Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

(iii)                               Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this Section 10.10(a) and, in addition:

(A)                              the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender that is a Qualifying Lender or, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B)                                the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment or an Affiliate of such Lender.

(iv)                              Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)                                 No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (I) the Borrower, Holdings, or any of the Borrower’s or Holdings’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (II) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (II).

(vi)                              Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the foregoing provisions, then the assignee of such

interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.10(b), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement, 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 8.3 and Section 10.13 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  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 Section 10.10(c).

(b)                         Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting sole for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c)                          Participations.  Subject to this Section 10.10, any Lender may at any time, upon written notice to the Borrower but without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) at any time prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), the Participant will be a Qualifying Lender at such time, (ii) any Lender who enters into such a participation agreement in relation to this Agreement shall ensure that the Participant agrees (for the benefit of the Borrower) that it shall not further transfer or sub-contract its rights and interests under that participation agreement, except to a person who is a Qualifying Lender (other than at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), (iii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iv) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.9 and Section 10.13(c) with respect to any participation interests sold by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any

82

amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.11(i) (A), (B) or (C) that directly and adversely affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 3.3, and 8.3 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.3(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.3(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.10(a); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 8.4 and Section 8.6 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.10(a); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.3 or 8.3 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 8.6 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.6 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant also agrees to be subject to Section 10.6 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans and other Obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other Obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or to demonstrate in the event of a tax audit that all Participants are Qualifying Lenders.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such participating Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)                         Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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.

(e)                          Certain Transfers.  If, pursuant to this Section 10.10 any interest in this Agreement or any Loan or Note is transferred to any transferee (including by reason of a change of the Applicable Lending Office of the Lender with respect to such Loan or Note) which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to furnish to the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly completed and signed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities (wherein such transferee claims entitlement to (i) complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or (ii) if the transferor Lender would be subject to U.S. withholding tax as a result of a change of law, a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate no greater than the rate that would be applicable to such transferor Lender, in each of case (i) and (ii), on all interest payments hereunder if such payments were U.S. source), and (ii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower new

83

forms as contemplated by Section 3.3(f) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

Section 10.11                          Amendments, Waivers and Consents.  Any provision of the Credit Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed (a) by the Borrower, (b) by the Required Lenders (subject to Section 2.14(b)), and (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or the Other Agents are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or the Other Agents, as the case may be, provided however, that:

(i)                                     no amendment or waiver shall (A) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, (B) postpone or extend the Commitment Termination Date or Maturity Date without the consent of all Lenders, (C) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest (including, without limitation, any reduction in the rate of interest unless such reduction is otherwise provided herein) on any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender owed any such Obligation, (D) release any Collateral (other than as provided in accordance with Section 7.4 or 9.8 or otherwise as provided in this Agreement) without the consent of all Lenders or (E) release Holdings or TINC from its obligations under the Parent Guaranty or, except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantees without the consent of all Lenders;

(ii)                                  no amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the provisions of this Section 10.11 or the definition of Required Lenders or the number of Lenders required to take any action under any other provision of the Credit Documents, or any provision providing for the pro rata nature of payments by or to Lenders; and

(iii)                               no amendment or waiver shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, any such rights, duties or obligations pursuant to Section 2.14 and Section 7.4) without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be;

and provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.11, any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or (y) to add one or more additional covenants or co-borrowers to this Agreement which are deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of satisfying the requirement set forth in clause (x) of the definition of Collateral and Guaranty Requirements so long as such additional covenants and/or co-borrowers would not impose any additional obligations on the Lenders hereunder or otherwise adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Lenders hereunder, in each case so long as the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

Section 10.12                          Headings.  Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

84

Section 10.13                          Legal Fees and Other Costs; Indemnification; Damages Waiver.

(a)                          The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, agrees to pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent) in connection with the preparation and execution of the Credit Documents (limited to a single law firm as counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (and which may include a special or local counsel acting in one or more jurisdictions) and such other counsel as may be engaged with the Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto (including in respect of any workout or restructuring in respect of the Loans), whether or not the transactions contemplated herein or therein are consummated.

(b)                         The Borrower further agrees to indemnify each Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Other Agents, and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of litigation or preparation therefor,  whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur as a result of (a) any action, suit or proceeding by any third party or Governmental Authority against such Indemnified Party and relating to any Credit Document, the Loans, or the application or proposed application by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or, to the extent permitted by law, Holdings and any other Member of the Consolidated Group) of the proceeds of any Loan, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS OR ACTIONS ARE FOUNDED IN WHOLE OR IN PART UPON THE ALLEGED SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AND/OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR ATTORNEYS, (b) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority involving any Lender (as a lender hereunder), or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in such capacity hereunder) and related to any use made or proposed to be made by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Loan, or use of any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly with the proceeds of any Loan, and (c) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority, litigation or proceeding involving any Lender (as a lender hereunder) or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in such capacity hereunder) and related to any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to any Environmental Law or the presence of any Hazardous Material (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law) with respect to the Borrower, Holdings, or any other Member of the Consolidated Group, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, the Borrower, Holdings, or any other Member of the Consolidated Group; provided, however, that (x) the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any of the foregoing arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, or willful or unlawful misconduct, or material breach of its express contractual obligations under this Agreement, as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as expressly agreed in writing by such Indemnified Party, (y) the Borrower’s obligations to pay or reimburse the Indemnified Parties for legal fees and expenses shall be limited to (1) the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of a single law firm as counsel for all such Indemnified Parties, taken together, in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include in each case another law firm as special or local counsel acting in one or more of multiple jurisdictions), except that in the case where an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that a conflict of interest does or may exist in connection with such legal representation and such Indemnified Party advises the Borrower of such actual or potential conflict of interest and engages its own separate counsel, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall also be paid or reimbursed, and (2) other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (other than legal fees and expenses as described in clause (1) above) incurred in investigating or defending any of the foregoing, and (z) the Borrower shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 10.13(b) for any amounts claimed in respect of litigation, investigations, proceedings or claims solely between Indemnified Parties in respect of actions or omissions of any

85

Indemnified Parties and not arising out of any acts or omissions of the Borrower or its affiliates (other than any such matters in respect of the Administrative Agent acting in its capacity or fulfilling its role in such capacity).  The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Other Agents or any Lender at any time, shall reimburse such Agent or such Lender for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing, except if the same is excluded from indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence.  Each Indemnified Party agrees to contest any indemnified claim if requested by the Borrower, in a manner reasonably directed by the Borrower, with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Any Indemnified Party that proposes or intends to settle or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give the Borrower written notice of the terms of such settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Borrower’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be restricted from settling or compromising any such claim if the Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnity from the Borrower in respect of such claim and such settlement or compromise does not materially increase the Borrower’s liability pursuant to this Section 10.13(b) to any Related Party of such Indemnified Party.

(c)                          To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 10.13(a) or 10.13(b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any Sub-Agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); 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 (or any such Sub-Agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such Sub-Agent) in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.13(c) are several (and not joint and several).

(d)                         To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnified Party and neither the Borrower, Holdings, nor any other Loan Party shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, the Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party, or 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, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnified Party referred to in Section 10.13(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e)                          Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.13, together with its obligations (if any) pursuant to Sections 3.3(c) and (d) and Section 9.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Obligations owing hereunder and thereunder.

Section 10.15                          Confidentiality.

(a)                          Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to their respective Affiliates and to existing and prospective Lenders, Participants and counterparties to any hedge agreement or swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower’s Obligations, and in each case to their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who have reason to use such Information in connection with the evaluation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (subject to similar confidentiality provisions as provided herein) solely for purposes of evaluating such Information, (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any proceedings relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (v) with the consent of the Borrower, (vi) to any rating agency or insurer or the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement, in each case when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such agency or insurer shall acknowledge in writing the confidential nature of such Information received by it from any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or (vii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.15(a), or (y) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Affiliates,

88

or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, excluding any Information from such source which, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent or the Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower.  For purposes hereof, “Information” means all information received by the Lenders from the Borrower, Holdings, or their respective Subsidiaries relating to Members of the Consolidated Group or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to such receipt by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, excluding any Information from a source which, to the actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent or the Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower, Holdings, or their respective Subsidiaries.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be considered to have complied with their respective obligations if they have exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as they would accord their own confidential information.

(b)                         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.  However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

(c)                          All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about each of the Borrower and its Related Parties or securities.  Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State, provincial, territorial and foreign securities laws.

Section 10.16                          Effect of Inclusion of Exceptions.  It is not intended that the specification of any exception to any covenant herein shall imply that the excepted matter would, but for such exception, be prohibited or required.

Section 10.17                          Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.18                          Currency Conversion.  All payments of Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Any currency conversion calculation made pursuant to this Agreement shall be at the rate determined by the Administrative Agent as the rate quoted by it in accordance with methods customarily used by the Administrative Agent for such or similar purposes as the spot rate for the purchase by the Administrative Agent of such currency with the currency of actual payment through its or its Affiliate’s principal foreign exchange trading office at approximately 11:00 A.M. (local time at such office) two Business Days prior to the effective date of such conversion calculation, provided that the Administrative Agent may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution actively engaged in foreign currency exchange if the Administrative Agent does not then have a spot rate for the applicable currency.  The parties hereto hereby agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that (i) if for the purposes of obtaining any judgment or award it becomes necessary to convert from any currency other than the applicable currency into

89

the applicable currency any amount in connection with the Obligations, then the conversion shall be made as provided above on the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given, (ii) in the event that there is a change in the applicable conversion rate prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment or award is given and the date of payment, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, will pay to the Borrower such excess amounts (if any), as result from such change in the rate of exchange, to assure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in such currency, which when converted at the conversion rate described herein on the date of payment, is the amount then due in the applicable currency, and (iii) any amount due from the Borrower under this Section 10.18 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment or award being obtained for any other sum due.

Section 10.19                          Change in Tax Laws.  If there is a material change in federal, state or foreign tax laws which materially affects any of the Borrower, Holdings, and their respective Subsidiaries’ ability to comply with the financial covenants, standards or terms found in this Agreement, the Borrower, Holdings, and the Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions (with the agreement of the Required Lenders or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders) so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating any of the Borrower’s, Holdings’ and their respective Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made.  Unless and until such provisions have been so amended, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 10.20                          Final Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding among the Loan Parties, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent and supersede all earlier or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter of the Credit Documents.  There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
