REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of March 13, 2013 (as further amended, supplemented, modified or extended from time to time, this “Agreement”), among Avon Products, Inc., a New York corporation (“API”), Avon Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ACC”), each of the Additional Borrowers (as defined below) from time to time designated as such, each of the banks and other lenders from time to time parties hereto (each, a “Bank” and, collectively, the “Banks”) and the Administrative Agent (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, API and ACC have requested that, subject to certain conditions, the Administrative Agent and the Banks enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent and the Banks are willing to enter into this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01. Certain Definitions.

(a) Terms Generally. The definitions ascribed to terms in this Section 1.01 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The words “hereby”, “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any exhibits and schedules hereto) and not merely to the specific section, paragraph or clause in which such word appears. All references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require.

(b) Accounting Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections 7.02(b), 7.02(d), 7.02(e) and 7.02(f), such terms shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date of this Agreement applied on a basis consistent with the construction thereof applied in preparing API’s audited financial statements referred to in Section 5.01(d). In the event there shall occur a change in GAAP which but for the foregoing proviso would affect the computation used to determine compliance with either such covenant, the Borrowers and the Banks agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that will permit compliance with such covenant to be determined by reference to GAAP as so changed while affording the Banks the protection afforded by such covenant prior to such change (it being understood, however, that such covenant shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its existing terms pending the execution by the Borrowers and the Banks of any

such amendment). For the avoidance of doubt, “operating leases” shall not be deemed to be Capital Leases for the purposes of the covenants set forth in Sections 7.02(b), 7.02(d), 7.02(e) and 7.02(f), notwithstanding any subsequent change in GAAP.

ARTICLE 2

THE LOANS

Section 2.01. The Loans; Commitments. (a) Prior to the Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Banks, severally and not jointly with the other Banks, agrees to make one or more Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed its Commitment; provided, however, that the amount of Loans which may be borrowed on any Borrowing Date may not exceed the Available Facility (after giving effect to any Loans being repaid or prepaid on such Borrowing Date and any other Loans to be made on such Borrowing Date).

(b) Each Bank’s Commitment, as of the date of this Agreement, is set forth opposite its name in Schedule 2.01, and, after such date, each Bank’s Commitment shall be recorded in the Register as provided in Section 11.08(c).

Section 2.02. Procedure for Loans. (a) A Borrower may borrow Loans by giving a Loan Request telephonically, to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 A.M., New York time (to be confirmed in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit A not later than 12:00 P.M., New York time, on the same day), (i) on the Borrowing Date therefor with respect to any ABR Loan and (ii) at least three Eurodollar Business Days before the Borrowing Date with respect to any Eurodollar Loan. Loans shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except that such borrowing of ABR Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused portion of the Total Commitment).

(b) Upon receipt of any Loan Request from a Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice to each Bank of the substance thereof. Not later than 2:00 P.M., New York time, on the Borrowing Date specified in such Loan Request, each Bank shall make available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Applicable Lending Office of the Administrative Agent (or, if the Administrative Agent has specified a different address in the notice referred to above, at such address), such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans requested.

(c) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such funds (and to the extent received by it from the various Banks), the Administrative Agent shall disburse to the relevant Borrower on the requested Borrowing Date the Loans requested in such Loan Request. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, advance on behalf of any Bank such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Loans on a Borrowing Date unless such Bank shall have notified the Administrative Agent prior to such Borrowing Date that it does not intend to make available its Pro Rata Share of such Loans on such date. If the Administrative Agent makes such an advance, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from the Bank on whose behalf such advance was made, and if such Bank does not pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such advance upon demand, the relevant Borrower shall promptly repay such amount to the Administrative Agent, acting for the Banks. Until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent by such Bank or the relevant Borrower, such advance shall be deemed for all purposes to be a Loan made by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover

from the Bank or such Borrower, as the case may be, interest on the amount advanced by it for each day from the Borrowing Date therefor until repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of an amount recovered from any Bank, the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) in the case of an amount recovered from a Borrower, the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 3.01. The failure of any Bank to make any Loan to be made by it on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on such Borrowing Date, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Bank shall be responsible for the failure by such Bank to make the Loan to be made by such Bank on such Borrowing Date.

Section 2.03. Evidence for Loans. (a) Each Bank shall maintain, in accordance with its customary and usual practice, accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank from time to time, including an indication of the Applicable Lending Office and the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank in respect of Loans.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary and usual practice, accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to each Bank resulting from each Loan made hereunder.

(c) The entries made in the foregoing accounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the indebtedness of each Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the validity or enforceability of any obligation of a Borrower to repay any Loan actually made to such Borrower by such Bank in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) A Borrower’s obligation to repay any Loan that shall be assigned to a Federal Reserve Bank by a Bank shall, to the extent requested by such Bank in order to effect such assignment, be evidenced by one or more Notes, in substantially the form of Exhibit B (a “Note”). A Note shall be (i) in the principal amount of the Loan or Loans so assigned and (ii) stated to mature on the Termination Date and bear interest from its date until paid in full on the principal balance (from time to time outstanding thereunder) payable at the rates and in the manner provided herein.

Section 2.04. Increase of Commitment. API may from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Banks), request that the Total Commitment be increased by $10,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and will not result in the Total Commitment exceeding $1,250,000,000. Each such notice shall set forth the requested amount of the increase in the Total Commitment and the date on which such increase is to become effective (which shall be not fewer than twenty days after the date of such notice), and shall offer each Bank the opportunity to increase its Commitment by its ratable share, based on the amounts of the Banks’ Commitments on the date of such notice, of the requested increase in the Total Commitment. Each Bank shall, by notice to API and the Administrative Agent given not more than ten Domestic Business Days after the date of API’s notice, either agree to increase its Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount or decline to increase its Commitment (and any Bank that does not deliver such a notice within such period of ten Domestic Business Days

shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment). In the event that, on the tenth Domestic Business Day after API shall have delivered a notice pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, the Banks shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the Total Commitment requested by API, API shall have the right to arrange for one or more banks or other financial institutions (any such bank or other financial institution being called an “Augmenting Bank”), which may include any Bank, to extend Commitments or increase their existing Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount, provided that each Augmenting Bank, if not already a Bank hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall specify to evidence its status as a Bank hereunder. If (and only if) Banks (including Augmenting Banks) shall have agreed to increase their Commitments or to extend new Commitments in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000, such increases and such new Commitments shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by API pursuant to the first sentence of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Total Commitment (or in the Commitment of any Bank) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, on the date of such increase, (i) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 6.02 (including the condition set forth in Section 6.02(c) insofar as it relates to representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.01(d)(ii) and 5.01(e) which are otherwise excluded in Section 6.02) shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of API or (ii) the Banks shall have waived the requirements set forth in clause (i) of this sentence.

Section 2.05. Reduction of Commitments. (a) Ratable Reduction. API shall have the right, upon not less than three Domestic Business Days’ (or such shorter notice as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) from API to the Administrative Agent and, if the Total Commitment is thereby to be reduced to zero, upon payment of the Commitment Fee accrued to (but excluding) the date of such reduction, to reduce the Total Commitment in full or in part; provided, however, that the amount of any reduction in the Total Commitment may not exceed the Available Facility (after giving effect to any Loans being repaid or prepaid on the day of such reduction and any Loans to be made on such day). Partial reductions of the Total Commitment shall be in the amount of $10,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the Available Facility is less than $10,000,000, then all of such lesser amount). Subject to Section 2.04, all reductions of the Total Commitment shall be permanent.

(b) Non-Ratable Reduction. API shall have the right, upon at least ten Domestic Business Days’ written notice to a Defaulting Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), to terminate in whole such Bank’s Commitment; provided that if any Loans have been made by such Defaulting Bank and remain outstanding, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Such termination shall be effective, (x) with respect to such Bank’s Unused Commitment, on the date set forth in such notice, provided, however, that such date shall be no earlier than ten Domestic Business Days after receipt of such notice and (y) with respect to each Loan outstanding to such Bank, in the case of an ABR Loan, on the date set forth in such notice and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of the then current Interest Period relating to such Loan. Upon termination of a Bank’s Commitment under this Section 2.05(b), the Borrowers will pay or cause to be paid in full in cash all principal of, and interest accrued to the date of such

payment on, Loans owing to such Bank and pay any accrued Commitment Fees payable to such Bank pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.08 (subject to Section 2.08), and all other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder (including, but not limited to, any increased costs or other amounts owing under Section 4.04; and upon such payments, the obligations of such Bank shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged; provided, however, that such Bank’s rights under Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 11.10, and its obligations under Section 9.08 shall survive such release and discharge as to matters occurring prior to such date; provided further, however, that if pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), the Borrowers shall pay to a Defaulting Bank any principal of, or interest accrued on, the Loans owing to such Defaulting Bank, then the Borrowers shall either (x) confirm to the Administrative Agent that the conditions set forth in Section 6.02(b) and (c) are met on and as of such date of payment or (y) pay or cause to be paid a ratable payment of principal and interest to all Banks who are not Defaulting Banks. Subject to Section 2.04, once so reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Commitments of the Banks shall not be reinstated.

Section 2.06. Prepayment of Loans. A Borrower shall have the right, by giving telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent by not later than 10:30 A.M., New York time, (i) on the day of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans and (ii) on the third Eurodollar Business Day prior to the day of prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans, to prepay Loans of such Borrower bearing interest on the same basis and having the same Interest Period, if any, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if the outstanding aggregate principal amount of such Loan is less than $10,000,000, then all of such lesser amount), together with accrued interest (except for ABR Loans, as to which such interest shall be paid on the next date when it otherwise would be payable under 3.02) on the principal being prepaid to (but excluding) the date of prepayment and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the amounts required by Section 4.03. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Loans so prepaid may be reborrowed by any Borrower.

Section 2.07. Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans will be used for general corporate purposes.

Section 2.08. Defaulting Banks. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank (other than a Defaulting Bank only under clause (e) of the definition thereof) pursuant to Section 3.08(a);

(ii) the Unused Commitment of such Defaulting Bank (other than a Defaulting Bank only under clause (e) of the definition thereof) shall not be included in determining whether the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder; and

(iii) any amount payable to such Defaulting Bank hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Bank) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied by the Administrative Agent, in

the following order of priority: (x) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (y) second, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement and (z) the balance to such Defaulting Bank.

(b) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Bank under this Section 2.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies that any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

(c) In the event that the Administrative Agent and API agree that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans ratably in accordance with its Commitment (or, if the Total Commitments have terminated, as last in effect) and such Bank shall no longer be a Defaulting Bank.

ARTICLE 3

INTEREST, CONVERSION, FEES, ETC.

Section 3.01. Procedure for Interest Rate Determination. Unless a Borrower shall request in a Loan Request or in a Conversion Request that its Loans, or portions thereof, bear interest as Eurodollar Loans, such Borrower’s Loans shall bear interest as ABR Loans.

Section 3.02. Interest on ABR Loans. Each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of such ABR Loan until paid in full, or (if converted into a Eurodollar Loan) to (but excluding) the first day of the relevant Interest Period, payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date after the date hereof, and on the date such Loan is repaid, at a rate per annum (on the basis of (i) a 365-day year (366 days in the case of a leap year) if the Base Rate is calculated based on the “base rate” and (ii) a 360-day year if the Base Rate is calculated based on the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR, for the actual number of days involved) equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans and (ii) the Base Rate in effect from time to time, which rate shall change as and when said Base Rate shall change.

Section 3.03. Interest on Eurodollar Loans. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from the date of such Loan to (but excluding) the last day of the relevant Interest Period, or (if earlier) to (but excluding) the Termination Date, payable in arrears (A) with respect to Interest Periods of three months or less, on the last day of such Interest Period, and (B) with respect to Interest Periods longer than three months, on the date which occurs three months after the first day of such Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period, at a rate per annum (on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days involved, with respect to each Interest Period), equal to the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans and (ii) LIBOR.

(b) The Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan shall be selected by the relevant Borrower at least three Eurodollar Business Days prior to the beginning of such Interest Period. If such Borrower fails to notify the Administrative Agent of the Interest Period for a

subsequent Eurodollar Loan at least three Eurodollar Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period of an outstanding Eurodollar Loan, then such outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall become an ABR Loan at the end of such current Interest Period.

(c) For so long as any Bank maintains reserves against “Eurocurrency Liabilities” pursuant to Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board (or any successor regulation), each Borrower shall, subject to the two next succeeding sentences, contemporaneously with the related interest payments, pay additional interest on each Eurodollar Loan of such Bank at a rate per annum up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) LIBOR divided by (B) one minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) LIBOR. Each Bank shall promptly notify API, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, upon becoming aware that any Borrower may be required to make a payment pursuant to this Section 3.03(c). When requesting payment pursuant to this Section 3.03(c), each Bank shall provide to API, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate, signed by an officer of such Bank, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of such claim, the amount required to be paid by the Borrower to such Bank and the computations made by such Bank to determine such amount. Absent demonstrable error, such certificate shall be binding as to the amounts of additional interest owing in respect of such Bank’s Eurodollar Loans.

Section 3.04. [Reserved].

Section 3.05. Continuation and Conversion of Loans. (a) A Borrower may request, by telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent of a Conversion Request, confirmed in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit C by no later than 12:00 P.M., New York time, on the same day, in advance of the requested Conversion Date as provided in the definition of “Conversion Request”, that:

(i) all the outstanding ABR Loans of such Borrower, or a portion thereof in an aggregate amount equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, be converted into a Eurodollar Loan on the requested Conversion Date; or

(ii) all the Eurodollar Loans of such Borrower having the same Interest Period, or a portion thereof in an aggregate amount equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, be converted into ABR Loans on the requested Conversion Date.

(b) Upon receipt of any such Conversion Request from a Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice to each Bank of the substance thereof. Effective on such Conversion Date and upon payment by such Borrower of the amounts, if any, required by Section 4.03, the Loans or portions thereof as to which the Conversion Request was made shall commence to accrue interest as set forth in this Article 3 for the type of interest rate and, in the case of a conversion of ABR Loans into Eurodollar Loans, Interest Period selected by such Borrower.

Section 3.06. Post-Maturity Interest. After maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of any Loan, such Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) 2% plus (ii) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (iii) the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans.

Section 3.07. Maximum Interest Rate. (a) Nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall require a Borrower to pay interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Neither this Section nor Section 11.01 is intended to limit the rate of interest payable for the account of any Bank to the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York (or any other applicable law) if a higher rate is permitted with respect to such Bank by supervening provisions of U.S. federal law.

(b) If the amount of interest payable by a Borrower for the account of any Bank on any interest payment date in respect of the immediately preceding interest computation period, computed pursuant to this Article 3, would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall automatically be reduced to such maximum permissible amount.

Section 3.08. Fees. (a) The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay, in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank, a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the quarterly period (or shorter period commencing on the Effective Date or ending on the Termination Date) ending on the Domestic Business Day immediately preceding such Fee Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage (as from time to time in effect, and appropriately adjusted if there are any changes to the Applicable Percentage during the relevant period) on the average Unused Commitments during such period.

(b) The Commitment Fee shall be computed based on a 365-day year (366 days in the case of a leap year), for the actual number of days involved.

ARTICLE 4

DISBURSEMENT AND PAYMENT

Section 4.01. Disbursement of Loans; Pro Rata Treatment of Banks. (a) ABR Loans shall be made by each Bank from its ABR Lending Office.

(b) Eurodollar Loans shall be made by each Bank from its Eurodollar Lending Office.

(c) Each payment of a Commitment Fee, each reduction of the Total Commitment and, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, each payment of principal of or interest on Loans shall be apportioned among the Banks in proportion to each Bank’s Pro Rata Share.

(d) If API shall designate as an Additional Borrower hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Bank may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and API, fulfill its Commitment by causing an affiliate of such Bank to act as the Bank in respect of such Additional Borrower (and such Bank shall, to the extent of Loans made to such Additional Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Loans to such affiliate in compliance with the provisions of Section 11.08).

Section 4.02. Method of Payment. (a) All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and of fees hereunder shall be payable in Dollars.

(b) All payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made not later than 2:00 P.M., New York time, on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its office referred to in Section 11.06 hereof.

(c) Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, ABR Loans or fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, Eurodollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Eurodollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Eurodollar Business Day unless such Eurodollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Eurodollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

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

(e) Any and all payments made by a Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Banks hereunder shall be made without right of set-off, counterclaim or other defenses.

(f) The Administrative Agent will promptly cause any payments received by it to be distributed to each Bank for whose account payment has been made in like funds.

Section 4.03. Compensation for Losses. (a) Compensation. If (i) a Borrower makes a prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan under Section 2.06 (other than a prepayment to a Bank to which Additional Costs or Additional Amounts may be due that has not complied with its obligations under Section 4.04(c)), or a Conversion Date selected by a Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05 for the conversion of Eurodollar Loans, or portions thereof, falls on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for the amount so converted, (ii) a Borrower revokes any Loan Request for a Eurodollar Loan or any Eurodollar Loan requested is not made because of the failure of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 6.02 to be satisfied, (iii) an outstanding Eurodollar Loan, or any portion thereof, is converted into an ABR Loan pursuant to Section 4.05 on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (iv) a Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) shall be due and payable pursuant to Section 4.07, or declared to be due and payable prior to the scheduled maturity thereof pursuant to Section 8.01, on any day other than the

last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, subject to Section 4.03(b) and without duplication of any amounts described in Section 3.03(c) or 4.04, the relevant Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the relevant Bank an amount that will compensate such Bank for any loss or premium, penalty or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of such prepayment, conversion, failure to borrow, declaration or revocation of notice in respect of funds obtained for the purpose of making or maintaining such Eurodollar Loan, or any portion thereof (other than loss of margin or profits after the date of such prepayment, conversion, failure to borrow, declaration or revocation of notice).

(b) Certificate, Etc. Each Bank shall promptly notify API, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, upon becoming aware that any Borrower may be required to make any payment pursuant to this Section 4.03. When requesting payment pursuant to this Section 4.03, such Bank shall provide to API, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate, signed by an officer of such Bank, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount required to be paid by the Borrowers to such Bank and the computations made by such Bank to determine such amount. The applicable Borrower shall have a 30-day period following the receipt of such certificate (if such Borrower in good faith disagrees with the assertion that any payment under this Section 4.03 is due or with the amount shown as due on such certificate and so notifies such Bank of such disagreement within five Domestic Business Days following receipt of such certificate) to negotiate with such Bank, which negotiations shall be conducted by the respective parties in good faith, and to agree upon another amount that will adequately compensate such Bank, it being expressly understood that if such Borrower does not provide the required notice of its disagreement as provided above, then such Borrower shall pay the amount shown as due on the certificate on the tenth Domestic Business Day following receipt thereof and further if such Borrower does provide such required notice, and negotiations are entered into in good faith but do not result in agreement by such Borrower and such Bank within the 30-day period, then such Borrower shall pay the amount shown as due on the certificate on the last day of such period.

Section 4.04. Withholding, Reserves and Additional Costs. (a) Withholding. (i) All payments payable under this Agreement to a Bank (including payments of principal of and interest on Loans) shall be made to such Bank free and clear of any and all present and future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, fees, liabilities and similar charges other than Excluded Taxes (“Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amount payable by a Borrower under this Agreement, then the amount so payable under this Agreement shall be increased to the amount which, after deduction from such increased amount of all Taxes required to be withheld or deducted therefrom (the amount of such increase, an “Additional Amount”), will yield to such Bank the amount stated to be payable under this Agreement. The relevant Borrower shall execute and deliver to any Bank upon its request such further instruments as may be necessary or desirable to give full force and effect to any such increase. The relevant Borrower shall also hold each Bank harmless and indemnify it for any stamp or other taxes with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of the Credit Documents (all of which shall be included within “Taxes”). If any of the Taxes specified in this Section 4.04(a) are paid by a Bank, the relevant Borrower shall, within 10 days after demand of such Bank, reimburse such Bank for such payments, together with any interest, penalties and expenses incurred in connection herewith. Each Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent certificates or other valid vouchers or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all Taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to

payments made by such Borrower hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall be entitled, to the extent required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold (and shall not be required to make payments of any Additional Amounts or indemnification payments as otherwise required by this Section 4.04 on account of such deductions or withholdings) income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Bank other than a Bank (i) that is a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) that has the Prescribed Forms on file with the Borrowers for the applicable year, unless the failure to leave such forms on file results from a change in law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof subsequent to the date the Bank becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Bank (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts from the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 4.04(a); provided that if a Borrower shall so deduct or withhold any such taxes, such Borrower shall provide a statement to the Administrative Agent and such Bank, setting forth the amount of such taxes so deducted or withheld, the applicable rate and any other information or documentation which such Bank may reasonably request for assisting such Bank to obtain any allowable credits or deductions for the taxes so deducted or withheld in the jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which such Bank is subject to tax.

(ii) If any Bank has received or been granted a refund or repayment of, any Tax paid or payable by it in respect of or which takes account of any Tax with respect to which an Additional Amount was paid by a Borrower (an “Indemnified Tax”) or other matter giving rise to such payment, such Bank shall, to the extent it determines in good faith that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund or repayment, pay to such Borrower such amount as such Bank shall determine in good faith to be attributable to such Indemnified Tax or other matter and which will leave such Bank (after such payment to the Borrower) in a position no better or worse than it would have been in had such Borrower not been required to deduct or withhold such Indemnified Tax or such other matter had not arisen; provided that such Borrower upon the written request of such Bank, shall return to such Bank the amount of any such refund, repayment in the event that such Bank is required to repay such amount to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(b) Additional Costs. (i) Without duplication of any amounts payable described in Section 3.03(c), 4.04(a) or 4.04(b)(ii), if after the date hereof there shall have occurred any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof or the enactment of any law or regulation shall either (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement with respect to any Bank’s Commitment or its Eurodollar Loans, (B) subject such Bank to any duty or other charge with respect to any of its Eurodollar Loans or its obligations to make Eurodollar Loans or (C) impose on such Bank any other condition regarding this Agreement, its Commitment to make Eurodollar Loans or its Eurodollar Loans and the result of any event referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) shall be to increase the cost (“Additional Costs”) to such Bank of maintaining its Commitment to make Eurodollar Loans or making or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans or shall reduce the amounts received or receivable hereunder (which Additional Costs shall be calculated by such Bank in good faith in accordance with each Bank’s internal policies, including any reasonable averaging and attribution methods) by an amount which such Bank in good faith shall

determine to be material, then, subject to Sections 4.04(c) and (d), the relevant Borrower shall pay to such Bank an amount equal to such Additional Costs; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law or regulation under this Section 4.04(b)(i), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(ii) Without duplication of any amounts described in Section 3.03(c), 4.04(a) or 4.04(b)(i), if after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency or instrumentality charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency or instrumentality, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital for such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which such Bank shall determine in good faith that reasonably could have been achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, subject to Sections 4.04(c) and (d), the relevant Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction; provided, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an adoption of law, rule, regulation or guideline under this Section 4.04(b)(ii), regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 4.04(b) shall not apply to (i) increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder resulting from any Tax or Excluded Tax, as to which Section 4.04(a) shall govern or (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of net income by the United States or any other jurisdiction which are applicable to any Bank or its lending office.

(c) Mitigation. If, with respect to a Bank, a condition arises or an event occurs after the date hereof that would, or would upon the giving of notice, result in the payment of any Additional Costs or Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04 or the delivery by such Bank of any notice described in the first sentence of Section 4.05, then such Bank, promptly upon becoming aware of the same, shall notify API (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) thereof and at API’s request shall take such steps as may be available to it and acceptable to the Borrowers to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions applicable to it to book the Loans held by such Bank hereunder at another lending office of such Bank if such other lending office is not, in the reasonable judgment

of such Bank, otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank); provided that such Bank shall be under no obligation to take any step that, in its good faith judgment, would result in its incurring any unreimbursed Additional Costs, additional Taxes or other additional costs in performing its obligations hereunder (unless the Borrower has agreed to reimburse it for the same) or would, in the good faith judgment of such Bank, be materially disadvantageous to such Bank.

(d) Certificate, Etc. Each Bank shall promptly notify API, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, upon becoming aware that the Borrowers may be required to make any payment pursuant to this Section 4.04. When requesting payment pursuant to this Section 4.04, a Bank shall provide to API, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate, signed by an officer of such Bank specifying the event giving rise to such claim and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of such claim, the amount required to be paid by each Borrower to such Bank and the computations made by such Bank to determine such amount. Anything herein notwithstanding, no Bank shall have the right to demand payment of Additional Amounts or compensation for Additional Costs or a reduced rate of return under this Section 4.04 (i) with respect to any period more than 180 days prior to the date it has made a demand pursuant to this Section 4.04, provided if any Additional Amounts or Additional Costs arise from a change of law that is retroactive, then the 180 day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, (ii) to the extent that such Bank determines in good faith that the interest rate or margin on the relevant Loans appropriately accounts for any Additional Costs, and (iii) unless demand thereunder is made in accordance with a policy of the Bank being applied in good faith to all borrowers similarly situated, unless notice of such Bank’s entitlement to such compensation shall have been furnished to the relevant Borrower at or prior to such time.

(e) Prescribed Forms. (i) Each Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will, to the extent it has not previously done so, deliver to API or the Administrative Agent (and if to the latter, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will deliver to API) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying that such Bank or Administrative Agent is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Bank further undertakes to deliver to API or the Administrative Agent (and if to the latter, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will deliver to API) (i) two further duly completed copies of the said Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable forms, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by a Borrower, certifying that such Bank or Administrative Agent is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and under any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such cases an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent a Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank advises API or the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will advise API) that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax and (ii) two duly completed copies of any other form or certification that may become applicable to such Bank certifying that such Bank or Administrative Agent is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and under any Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.

(ii) If a payment made to a Bank hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to API and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by API 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 API or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for API or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct or withhold from such payment.

Section 4.05. Unavailability and Impracticability. If, after the date hereof, a Bank shall have determined in good faith that the making or maintenance of all or any part of such Bank’s Eurodollar Loans has been made (i) unlawful because of compliance by such Bank with any law or guideline or interpretation or administration thereof by any official body charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case issued after the date hereof, or with any request or directive made after the date hereof of such body (whether or not having the effect of law) or (ii) impracticable because deposits in Dollars in the amounts and requested maturities of such Loans are not available to the Bank in the applicable interbank market or that the rate applicable to such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to such Bank of making, funding or maintaining such Loans for the applicable Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of written notice of such determination by such Bank, shall forthwith advise the other Banks and API thereof. After the date specified in such notice and until such time as the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of written notice to it by such Bank, shall notify API and the other Banks that the circumstances specified by it in such notice no longer apply, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(i) the Eurodollar Loans of such Bank shall automatically be converted to ABR Loans, without any requirement of compliance by the Borrowers with Section 3.05, 4.03 or 4.04, on (x) the last day of the outstanding Interest Period or Periods applicable thereto, unless awaiting such date is unlawful or (y) if awaiting such date is unlawful, immediately upon the receipt by the applicable Borrower of such notice; and

(ii) the obligation of such Bank to make, convert ABR Loans into, or continue for an additional Interest Period, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, and, if the Borrower shall request in a Loan Request or Conversion Request that such Bank make a Eurodollar Loan, the Loan requested to be made by such Bank shall instead be made as an ABR Loan.

Such Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which thereupon shall promptly notify API, when such specified circumstances no longer apply.

Section 4.06. Substitution of Banks. If any Bank (a) shall request any compensation or indemnity under Section 4.03 or 4.04, (b) shall give any notice described in the

first sentence of Section 4.05, (c) shall become a Non-Consenting Bank or (d) is a Defaulting Bank, the Borrowers shall have the right to require such Bank to assign all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another Bank or financial institution identified by the Borrowers with the assistance of the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent agrees to use its reasonable efforts so to assist the Borrowers); provided, however, that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with any applicable statute, law, rule, regulation, order or decree of any Governmental Authority and (ii) the assigning Bank shall have received from the Borrowers and/or such assignee full payment of the principal of all then-outstanding Loans made by such Bank hereunder, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and (provided that such Bank has complied with its obligations under Section 4.04(c)) all other amounts owed to it hereunder.

Section 4.07. Repayment of Loans. Each Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Bank on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by such Bank to such Borrower and then outstanding.

(ii) As of the Effective Date, and except as publicly disclosed by API prior to the Effective Date, there is no action, suit or proceeding before any court, arbitrator or governmental body, agency or official pending, or to the knowledge of API or ACC, threatened, against API or any Subsidiary in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of API and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, except as disclosed (x) in the reports or financial statements referred to in Section 5.01(d) or (y) in Schedule 5.01(e).

(f) Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan, except to the extent that any failure to fulfill such obligations or to be in compliance would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of API and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole. As of the Effective Date, no member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Code or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA, except to the extent that any such waivers, failures and liabilities would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of API and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

(g) Taxes. United States federal income tax returns of API and its domestic Subsidiaries have been examined and closed through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. API and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all material taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by API or any Subsidiary, except for assessments being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which API or such Subsidiary has set aside adequate reserves on its books. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of API and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of API, adequate in all material respects.

(h) Material Subsidiaries. Each Material Subsidiary has been duly organized and is validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all corporate powers and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted, except to the extent that the failure of any of the foregoing would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of API and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

(i) Investment Company Act. No Borrower is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(j) Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Bank in writing for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, was true and accurate in all material respects or based on reasonable estimates on the date as of which such information is stated or certified and API has disclosed to the Banks in writing (including in any materials publicly filed by API with the SEC) any and all facts known to API which it reasonably believes materially and adversely affect or may materially and adversely affect (to the extent API can now reasonably foresee) the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of API and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

(k) Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, API conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of API and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, API has reasonably concluded that, as of the Effective Date, and except as publicly disclosed by API prior thereto, Environmental Laws are unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial condition, or consolidated results of operations of API and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

(l) Federal Reserve Regulations. After giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, not more than 25% of the value of the consolidated assets of API (based on book value or another reasonable measure) will consist of or be represented by “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board.

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

(b) Each Bank understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.02 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of the Borrowers or their affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Borrowers and their affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in any Borrower or its affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of any Borrower or its affiliates. Each Bank understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning a Borrower or its affiliates (including information concerning the ability of a Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder) which information may not be available to any of the Banks that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Bank or use on behalf of the Banks, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any affiliate thereof) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Bank such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Banks.

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

Section 9.03. Duties of Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.04 or 8.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default or Event of Default unless and until a Borrower or any Bank shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Default or Event of Default and such event or events.

(c) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or

purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

Section 9.04. 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 any Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Loan, and such Bank shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder 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. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 9 and Section 11.10 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” under this Agreement) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 9.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks, with the prior written consent of API (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank or an affiliate of a Bank with an office in New York, New York, or an affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Bank Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may with the prior written consent of API (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) on behalf of the Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In

addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Banks, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Bank Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Banks that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank directly, until such time as the Required Banks appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article 9 and Section 11.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 9.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Banks.

(a) Each Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent, each other Bank and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder is suitable and appropriate for it.

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

(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrowers;

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;

(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition; and

(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information delivered by the Administrative Agent, any other Bank or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 9.08. Indemnification. Each Bank agrees (which agreement shall survive repayment of the Loans) to indemnify the Administrative Agent, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers, ratably in accordance with its respective Commitment in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitment shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with its respective Commitment immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees. Without limiting the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in such capacity in connection with the enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, any Credit Document or any amendments or supplements hereto or thereto, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers.

Section 9.09. Sharing of Payments and Expenses. All funds for the account of the Banks received by the Administrative Agent in respect of payments made by a Borrower pursuant to, or from any Person on account of, any Credit Document shall be distributed forthwith by the Administrative Agent among the Banks, ratably in proportion to their respective interests therein. In the event that any Bank shall receive from a Borrower or any other source any payment of, on account of, or for or under any Credit Document (whether received pursuant to the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, realization upon any security held for or appropriated to such obligation or otherwise as permitted by law) other than in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, except

for amounts payable to such Bank under Section 2.05(b), 4.03, 4.04, 4.06 or 4.07 hereof, then such Bank shall purchase at par from each other Bank so much of its interest in obligations of the Borrowers as shall be necessary in order that each Bank shall share such payment with each of the other Banks in proportion to each Bank’s Pro Rata Share. In the event that any purchasing Bank shall be required to return any excess payment received by it, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such return, but without interest.

Section 9.10. Other Agents. None of the Banks identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “joint lead arranger”, “joint book runner”, “syndication agent”, “documentation agent”, “co-documentation agent”, “co-agent”, or any Affiliate of such Banks, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of any Bank, those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Banks so identified (or such Affiliates) shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks so identified (or such Affiliates) in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

ARTICLE 10

THE GUARANTY

Section 10.01. The Guaranty. API unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt payment when due of all present and future obligations and liabilities of all kinds (including post-petition interest, whether or not such interest constitutes an allowed claim in the related bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) of each other Borrower to the Banks under any Credit Document, whether incurred by such Borrower as maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantor, accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and howsoever or whenever incurred by such Borrower (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Section 10.02. Absolute Guaranty. API’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations (b) the existence, legality, validity, enforceability (including as a result of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding), perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor, (c) any change in the corporate existence or structure of any other Borrower, (d) any claims or set-offs that API may have, (e) any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction or any event affecting any term of the Guaranteed Obligations or the rights of any Bank with respect thereto or (f) any other circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or the Borrowers (other than API) which might otherwise constitute a defense available to any surety or guarantor or to this Guaranty. The Banks make no representation or warranty in respect of any such circumstance and have no duty or responsibility whatsoever to API with respect to the management or maintenance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral therefor. The Banks shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event that a Borrower becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the

failure of the Banks so to file shall not affect API’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Banks in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, API shall remain liable hereunder in respect of such Guaranteed Obligation as if such payment had not been made.

Section 10.03. Consents, Waivers and Renewals. API agrees that the Banks may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of API, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, or renew any Guaranteed Obligations, and may also make any agreement with ACC, an Additional Borrower or with any other party to or person liable on any Guaranteed Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Banks, ACC, an Additional Borrower or any such other party or person, without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. API agrees that the Banks may resort to API for payment of any Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not the Banks shall have resorted to any collateral security, or shall have proceeded against any Borrower or other obligor principally or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 10.04. Subrogation. API will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation or by any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, and shall not exercise any right of recourse to any assets or property of any other Borrower held for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to API in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Banks and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

Section 10.05. Continuing Guaranty. API’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by any other Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and the Commitments terminated. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amount payable by any such Borrower under this Agreement is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Borrower or otherwise, API’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 10.06. Waiver of Notice. API waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the making of any loans or extensions of credit to any other Borrower, presentment to or demand or payment from anyone whomsoever liable upon any of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of any sale of collateral security and all other notices whatsoever.

Section 11.02. Set-off. Each Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Debt at any time owing by such Bank to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any and all payment obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement then due to such Bank, irrespective of whether such Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement. The rights of each Bank under this Section 11.02 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Bank may have. Any Bank exercising its rights under this Section 11.02 shall give notice thereof to API, the relevant Borrower and the Administrative Agent concurrently with or prior to the exercise of such rights, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(B) The consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Bank or an Affiliate of such Bank.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in cash equal to $1,000 (if the Assignee is already a Bank) or $3,500 (otherwise); 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 Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

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

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank 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 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 Bank, 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 Bank to the Administrative Agent and each other Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.04, 4.05, 11.03, 11.05, and 11.10 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank 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 Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. To the extent that an Assignment and Assumption of all or any portion of a Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Loan or Commitment assigned pursuant to Section 4.06 or this Section 11.08(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Sections 3.03(c), 4.04(a) or 4.04(b) from those being charged by the respective assigning Bank prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective Assignment and Assumption).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain its office at the address referred to in Section 11.06 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Bank, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, may at any time grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to either Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Documents, including the right to approve any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in the provisos to Section 11.04 without the consent of the Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.03 and 4.04 with respect to its participating interest; provided that (i) subject to clause (ii) of this sentence, all amounts payable to a Bank for the account of a Participant under Sections 4.03 and 4.04 shall be determined as if such Bank had not granted such participation to the Participant and (ii) no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.03 or 4.04 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights participated, unless (x) such transfer is made with API’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 4.04 requiring such Bank to designate a different lending office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such payment did not exist and (y) such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 4.04(e) as though it were a Bank. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e) Federal Reserve Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Credit Document, no Bank may sell, assign or participate all or any portion of its Commitment or Loans hereunder to any “broker” or “dealer” (as defined in Sections 3(a)(4) and 3(a)(5) of the Exchange Act) or any other Person that is a “creditor” (as defined in Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board). By executing and delivering this Agreement, each Bank hereby confirms that it is not such a “broker”, “dealer” or “creditor”.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Bank 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 Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

Section 11.09. [Reserved].

Section 11.10. Indemnity. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.10 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors (other than in the case where such litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower and such Borrower prevails), an Indemnitee or any other person or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). This Section 11.10 shall not apply with respect to Taxes or Excluded Taxes other than any Taxes or Excluded Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

The provisions of this Section 11.10 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the reduction or cancellation of the Total Commitment, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Banks. All amounts due under this Section 11.10 shall be payable in immediately available funds upon written demand therefor.

Section 11.11. Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.11, any judicial proceeding brought against any party to this Agreement arising out of or relating to any Credit Document shall be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the City and County of New York, and, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement or an Additional Borrower Confirmation pursuant to Section 6.04, each Borrower shall be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to (a) accept, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (b) irrevocably waive any objection they may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court or that such court is an inconvenient forum and (c) consent that service of process upon any of them may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at their address specified or determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 and service so made shall be deemed completed when received. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Borrower to bring proceedings against any other party in the courts of any other applicable jurisdiction.

Section 11.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its affiliates and to its and its affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, in all cases to the extent such affiliates and such managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, and other representatives are involved in the administration of this Agreement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any Note or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Note or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.12 and as to which the Borrowers are third party beneficiaries, to (i) any Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to API and its obligations under this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) with the written consent of API or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.12 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any of their respective affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than API or any of its Subsidiaries, unless such Information is being made available by a Person not known after reasonable inquiry by the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any of their respective affiliates to be required to maintain the confidentiality of such Information; provided that, in the case of clauses (b) and (c), if the Administrative Agent or any Bank or any of their respective related parties is required in the opinion of the Administrative Agent or such Bank’s counsel, as applicable, to

disclose by law, regulation, governmental or regulatory authority, subpoena, court order or similar legal or regulatory process, any Information, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as applicable, shall (A) except as limited by applicable law, subpoena, order or other legal or regulatory process, give API written notice of such requirement or request so that API may seek, at its sole cost and expense, an appropriate protective order or other remedy; and (B) except with respect to providing information requested by regulatory authorities, reasonably cooperate with API, at API’s sole cost and expense, to obtain such protective order. Other than with respect to Information requested by regulatory authorities, in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or API waives its right to seek such order or other remedy, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as applicable, shall (or shall cause any other Person to whom such request is directed to), without liability under this Agreement, furnish only that portion of the Information which, on the advice of the Administrative Agent or such Bank’s counsel, as applicable, is legally required or so compelled by law or regulation to be disclosed and, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as applicable, gives API written notice of the Information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as practicable and use its reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

The foregoing is in addition to and not in limitation of the provisions of any confidentiality agreement between the Administrative Agent or any Bank and the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from API or any of its Subsidiaries relating to API or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, provided that, in the case of information received from API or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

Section 11.13. Judgment. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the obligation of any Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in Dollars to any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Domestic Business Day following receipt by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such other currency; if the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than such sum due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in Dollars, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in Dollars, such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

Section 11.14. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 11.15. Patriot Act. Each Bank hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each borrower, guarantor or grantor (the “Loan Parties”), which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Bank to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act.

Section 11.16. No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Bank and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Banks”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Banks and the Borrowers, their stockholders or their affiliates. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Banks, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Banks is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (iii) no Bank has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Bank or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising any Borrower on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrowers except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (iv) each of the Borrowers has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. Each Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Bank has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrowers, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 11.17. Waiver of Right to Jury. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH OF THE BANKS WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in same day or immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at such office or offices of the Administrative Agent as may be designated by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind whatsoever. The failure or forbearance by the holder to exercise any of its rights hereunder in any particular instance shall in no event constitute a waiver thereof.
