THE BORROWING FACILITY

SECTION 2.01. The Borrowing Facility. Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions provided herein, to make Advances denominated in Agreed Currencies to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof to the Termination Date in an aggregate Euro Amount that will not result in (a) such Bank’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Bank’s Commitment or (b) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Commitments. Subject to Section 5.01, each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be in an aggregate Euro Amount not less than €10,000,000 and an integral multiple of 5,000,000 units of the applicable currency, shall be made on the same day from the Banks ratably according to their respective Commitments. Within the

limits of each Bank’s Commitment, the Borrowers may borrow Advances under this Section 2.01, maintain Advances outstanding by continuing such Advances pursuant to Section 2.03, or prepay Advances pursuant to Section 5.12, and reborrow Advances under this Section 2.01. The Aggregate Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire on the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. Each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be requested by facsimile notice given by the Applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date (or, in the case of the initial Advances, such lesser number of days to which the Administrative Agent may agree). Each notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.02 hereto, specifying the proposed Borrowing Date, aggregate amount of the proposed Borrowing and the Interest Period and Agreed Currency applicable thereto for each such Advance, and shall include such information as shall be required by Section 8.01(h). If no currency is specified with respect to any requested Borrowing, then the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected Euro. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Borrowing, then the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Bank by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing) or facsimile of the date, applicable interest rate, applicable Agreed Currency and aggregate amount of such Borrowing and such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. Each Bank, for the account of its Lending Office, shall, before 12:00 Noon (London time) on the Borrowing Date specified in the notice received from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence, deposit such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in such funds as then may be customary for the settlement of transactions in such Agreed Currency to the Administrative Agent in accordance with those instructions stipulated on any given drawdown request by the Administrative Agent. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI, the Administrative Agent shall make same day funds in the amount of such funds available to the Applicable Borrower by 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the date of Borrowing, at the account specified by the Applicable Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03. Method of Electing Interest Periods. (a) The Advances included in each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan) initially shall have the Interest Period specified by the Applicable Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Applicable Borrower may from time to time elect to continue such Borrowing for a new Interest Period effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing. In no event shall any Borrower have the option to convert the Agreed Currency in which a Borrowing is denominated to another Agreed Currency; provided that any Borrower may repay such a Borrowing and reborrow in another Agreed Currency in accordance with this Agreement.

Each such election by the Applicable Borrower to continue Advances shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Period Election”) to the Administrative Agent by not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) at least three Business Days before the continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. If the Applicable Borrower shall fail to issue a Notice of Interest Period Election within three Business Days prior to the end of any Interest Period (unless the Applicable Borrower shall have issued a notice of prepayment in respect of the applicable

Borrowing in accordance with Section 5.12), the Advances comprising such Borrowing shall be continued as an Advance in the same Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month. A Notice of Interest Period Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Borrowing; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Interest Period Election applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each a Euro Amount not less than €10,000,000 and an integral multiple of 5,000,000 units of the applicable currency.

(b) Each Notice of Interest Period Election shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03 hereto and shall specify:

(i) the Borrowing (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with subsection (a) above; and

(iii) the duration of the new Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Period Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period. Each Notice of Interest Period Election shall be irrevocable when given by the Applicable Borrower.

(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Period Election from the Applicable Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof.

SECTION 2.04. Determination of Euro Amount; Required Payments; Termination. The Administrative Agent will determine the Euro Amount of:

(i) each Borrowing as of the date three Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date or, if applicable, date of conversion/continuation of such Advance or date of a Swingline Loan,

(ii) each Borrowing as of the first day of each Interest Period and on any other Business Day elected by the Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the Majority Banks, and

(iii) each Letter of Credit as of the date three Business Days prior to the issuance thereof, on the date of issuance thereof and on any other Business Day elected by the Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the Majority Banks.

Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines the Euro Amount as described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) is herein described as a “Computation Date” with respect to each Advance for which a Euro Amount is determined on or as of such day. If at any time the Euro Amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure (calculated, with respect to

those Advances denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Euro, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Advance, and excluding cash collateralized L/C Obligations) exceeds 105% of the Aggregate Commitments, the Borrowers shall immediately repay Advances, repay Swingline Loans and/or cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credits in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the remaining outstanding Advances, L/C Obligations (excluding cash collateralized L/C Obligations) and Swingline Loans not to exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

SECTION 2.05. Increase in Aggregate Commitment. From time to time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may, at their option, seek to increase the Aggregate Commitments by up to an aggregate amount of €100,000,000 (resulting in maximum Aggregate Commitments of up to €300,000,000) upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such increase (which shall not be less than €25,000,000 or such lesser amount to which the Administrative Agent may agree) and shall certify that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. After delivery of such notice, the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, may offer the increase (which may be declined by any Bank in its sole discretion) in the total Commitments on either a ratable basis to the Banks or on a non pro-rata basis to one or more Banks and/or to other Banks or entities reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. No increase in the total Commitments shall become effective until the existing or new Banks extending such incremental Commitment amount and the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which (i) any such existing Bank agrees to the amount of its Commitment increase, (ii) any such new Bank agrees to its Commitment amount and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Bank hereunder, (iii) the Borrowers accept such incremental Commitments, (iv) the effective date of any increase in the Commitments is specified and (v) the Borrowers certify that on such date the conditions for a Credit Extension set forth in Section 6.02 are satisfied. Upon the effectiveness of any increase in the total Commitments pursuant hereto, (i) each Bank (new or existing) shall be deemed to have accepted an assignment from the existing Banks, and the existing Banks shall be deemed to have made an assignment to each new or existing Bank accepting a new or increased Commitment, of an interest in each then outstanding Advance (in each case, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Assignment and Assumption) and (ii) the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the existing and new Banks shall be automatically adjusted such that, after giving effect to such assignments and adjustments, all Revolving Credit Exposure hereunder is held ratably by the Banks in proportion to their respective Commitments. Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for, and substantially contemporaneously with the payment to the assigning Banks of, the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and Facility and Letter of Credit Fees. Payments received by assigning Banks pursuant to this Section in respect of the principal amount of any Advance shall, for purposes of Section 11.04(b) be deemed prepayments of such Credit Extension. Any increase of the total Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be subject to receipt by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers of such supplemental opinions, resolutions, certificates and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. No consent of any Bank (other than the Banks agreeing to new or increased Commitments) shall be required for any incremental Commitment provided or Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.05.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Applicable Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to such Swingline Banks.

(b) No Issuing Bank shall extend, renew, or amend any Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 4.03 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were then being requested and issued.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund in violation of applicable Sanctions any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement.

SECTION 4.04. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) Prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, and as a condition of such issuance, the Applicable Borrower shall deliver to the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) an L/C Application signed by the Applicable Borrower, together with such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. Unless the Issuing Bank shall otherwise agree, each Letter of Credit shall be issued no earlier than two (2) Business Days after delivery of the foregoing documents, which delivery may be by the Applicable Borrower to the Issuing Bank by facsimile transmission, telex or other electronic means followed by delivery of executed originals within five (5) days thereafter. The documents so delivered shall be in compliance with the requirements set forth in Sections 4.02 and 4.03, and shall specify therein (i) the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, (ii) the effective date of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire, which shall be a Business Day not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Termination Date, except as permitted in Section 4.02(ii), and (iv) the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations which are outstanding and which will be outstanding after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 4.02 and 4.03, and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 shall, to the knowledge of the Issuing Bank, have been satisfied, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Applicable Borrower in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices (and a copy of such issued Letter of Credit shall be delivered by the Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent). In addition, any amendment of an Existing Letter of Credit that has the effect of increasing the face amount thereof or extending the expiration date thereof shall be deemed to be an issuance of a new Letter of Credit and shall be subject to the requirements of this Section 4.04.

(b) The applicable Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent written or telex notice of the issuance of a Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of such Issuing Bank.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in any L/C Application or any document executed in connection therewith to the contrary, in the event any term or provision of such L/C Application or other document is inconsistent with any term or provision of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control and prevail.

SECTION 4.05. Letter of Credit Participation. Unless a Bank shall have notified the Issuing Bank, prior to its issuance of a Letter of Credit, that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Sections 6.01 or 6.02 had not then been satisfied, immediately upon the issuance of each other Letter of Credit hereunder, each Bank shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the applicable Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in and to such Letter of Credit, the obligations of the Applicable Borrower in respect thereof, and the liability of such Issuing Bank thereunder (collectively, as to each Bank, an “L/C Interest”) in an amount equal to the amount

available for drawing under such Letter of Credit multiplied by such Bank’s Applicable Percentage. Each Issuing Bank will notify each Bank that has a Commitment promptly upon presentation to it of an L/C Draft or upon any other draw under a Letter of Credit. On or before the Business Day on which an Issuing Bank makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, in the case of any other draw on a Letter of Credit, on demand by the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall make payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount of the payment under the L/C Draft or other draw on the Letter of Credit multiplied by such Bank’s Applicable Percentage. Except to the extent set forth in the last sentence of this Section 4.05, the obligation of each Bank to reimburse the Issuing Banks under this Section 4.05 shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute without counterclaim or set-off; provided, however, the obligation of each Bank shall not extend to payments made under a Letter of Credit resulting from the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in honoring any L/C Draft. In the event that any Bank fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 4.05, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Bank hereunder until the Administrative Agent receives such payment from such Bank or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied, and such Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, interest on the amount of such Bank’s outstanding obligation at an interest rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practices on interbank compensation; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall relieve such Bank of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for such amount in accordance with this Section 4.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Bank shall have any reimbursement, payment or other obligation with respect to any cash collateralized Letter of Credit issued pursuant to the proviso in Section 4.02(b)(ii) hereof.

SECTION 4.06. Reimbursement Obligation. The Applicable Borrower agrees unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely to pay promptly to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks, the amount of each drawing made under or pursuant to a Letter of Credit issued for its account (such obligation of the Applicable Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent for a drawing made under a Letter of Credit, a “Reimbursement Obligation” with respect to such Letter of Credit) plus all other charges and expenses with respect thereto specified in Section 4.07 or in the applicable L/C Application. If the Applicable Borrower at any time fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to this Section 4.06, the Applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to borrow under a Borrowing, as of the date of the drawing giving rise to the Reimbursement Obligation and equal in amount to the amount of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. Such Borrowing shall be made automatically, without notice, without any requirement to satisfy the conditions precedent otherwise applicable to a Borrowing and without regard to minimum amounts or integral multiples of any amount otherwise required for a Borrowing. Such Borrowing shall be comprised of Advances made by the Banks, each Advance being in the amount of the portion of the related drawing that shall have been funded by the applicable Bank. The proceeds of such Borrowing shall be used to repay such Reimbursement Obligation.

SECTION 4.07. Issuing Bank Charges. In addition to the fees described in Section 5.04(b), the Applicable Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank, (i) on the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit issued for its account (or on such other date as may be agreed

between the Applicable Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank), a fronting fee in respect of such Letter of Credit in a separately agreed amount, and (ii) all reasonable and customary fees and other issuance, amendment, document examination, negotiation and presentment expenses and related charges in connection with the issuance, amendment, presentation of L/C Drafts, and the like customarily charged by the Issuing Banks with respect to Letters of Credit, including standard commissions, payable promptly following delivery to the Applicable Borrower of each invoice in respect of any such amount. The Existing Letters of Credit shall not be subject to the charges described herein to the extent such charges are duplicative of charges paid with respect thereto pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4.08. Issuing Bank Reporting Requirements. In addition to the notices required by Section 4.04(b), each Issuing Bank shall, no later than the tenth Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, schedules, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issue, account party, amount, expiration date and the reference number of each Letter of Credit issued by it outstanding at any time during such month and the aggregate amount payable by each Applicable Borrower during such month. In addition, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of any Letter of Credit to which the Issuing Bank is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. Upon the request of any Bank, the Administrative Agent will provide to such Bank information concerning such Letters of Credit.

SECTION 4.09. Indemnification; Exoneration.

(a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article IV, the Applicable Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank from and against any and all liabilities and costs which the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit for its account other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank as determined in a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of the applicable Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

(b) As among the Applicable Borrower, the Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, the Applicable Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of each Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Bank shall be responsible for (unless caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct): (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any other party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

(iii) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, facsimile, email or other similar form of electronic transmission or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical trade terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Banks, including any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Bank’s rights or powers under this Section 4.09.

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates shall not, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, put the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Bank under any resulting liability to the Applicable Borrower or relieve the Applicable Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 4.09 shall survive the payment in full of the Advances and other obligations hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

GENERAL TERMS

SECTION 5.01. Illegality; Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. The obligation of each Bank to extend an Advance on the date therefor is subject to the following:

(a) If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Advances, such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and such Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrowers, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make (or continue) Advances shall be suspended. If such Bank (A) shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain an outstanding Advance until the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, (B) shall so specify in a written notice to the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (C) shall deliver to the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent an opinion of counsel concurring in such determination (unless three (3) or more Banks have reached a similar determination, in which case no such opinion shall be required), then the Applicable Borrower shall, on the last Business Day on which such Bank may lawfully continue such Advance, repay such Advance.

(b) If, with respect to Borrowings to consist of Advances denominated in any Agreed Currency and having a particular Interest Period (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that by reason of circumstances affecting generally the London interbank market, and after using its best efforts to ascertain the interest rate applicable to the Advances in such Agreed Currency, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such applicable rate for such Interest Period, or (ii) by the Business Day before the first day of any Interest Period in respect of a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Banks that after using their respective best efforts to obtain deposits in the applicable Agreed Currency for such Interest Period, such deposits are not available to such Banks (as such best efforts and unavailability are conclusively certified in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers) in the ordinary course of business in the London interbank market in sufficient amounts to make their respective Advances, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall by 12:00 Noon (London time) on such Business Day notify the Borrowers of such event, and the right of the Borrowers to select Advances in such Agreed Currency for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing with an Interest Period having the duration of such Interest Period shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. The obligation of the Banks to make Advances in connection with any Notice of Borrowing that requests Advances in the applicable Agreed Currency for an Interest Period having the duration of such affected Interest Period shall be ineffective. In the case of an outstanding Notice of Interest Period Election that requests Advances in the applicable Agreed Currency for an Interest Period having the duration of such affected Interest Period at the time any such suspension shall occur, such Notice shall be deemed to request Advances for the next shortest (or, if no shorter Interest Period is available, the next longest) Interest Period that is available hereunder or, if no Interest Period is available for such Agreed Currency, such Notice shall become ineffective.

(c) If the Majority Banks shall, by 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day before the first day of any Interest Period in respect of a Borrowing to consist of Advances denominated in an Agreed Currency for a particular Interest Period, notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (setting forth in writing the reasons therefor) that the Eurocurrency Rate for Advances for such Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Banks of making or funding their respective Advances for such Borrowing, the right of the Borrowers to select Advances in such Agreed Currency for such Interest Period and any subsequent request for a Borrowing in such Agreed Currency for an Interest Period with a duration equal to that of such Interest Period shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. The obligation of the Banks to make Advances in connection with any Notice of Borrowing that requests Advances in the applicable Agreed Currency for an Interest Period having the duration of such affected Interest Period shall be ineffective. In the case of an outstanding Notice of Interest Period Election that requests Advances in the applicable Agreed Currency for an Interest Period having the duration of such affected Interest Period at the time any such suspension shall occur, such Notice shall be deemed to request Advances for the next shortest (or, if no shorter Interest Period is available, the next longest) Interest Period that is available hereunder or, if no Interest Period is available for such Agreed Currency, such Notice shall become ineffective.

SECTION 5.02. Effect of Notice of Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. (a) Subject to Section 5.01, each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Interest Period Election shall be irrevocable and binding on the Applicable Borrower. In the event that a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Interest Period Election is made by telephone and the written confirmation thereof differs in any respect from such telephone notice, the information contained in the telephone notice or the written confirmation, as the case may be, upon which the Administrative Agent shall have relied, as evidenced by its corresponding notice to the Banks, shall control for purposes of Advances to be made or continued under this Agreement.

(b) A Notice of Borrowing shall be rejected by the Administrative Agent, and the Banks shall have no obligation to extend any Advances that may be requested in such Notice of Borrowing, if after giving effect to the Borrowing requested in such Notice of Borrowing there would then be more than ten (10) Borrowings outstanding (excluding Swingline Loans).

SECTION 5.03. Effect of Failure to Borrow or Fund. (a) The Applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against all direct out-of-pocket losses and reasonable expenses incurred by such Bank as a result of any failure by such Borrower to fulfill on or before the date specified for a Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI to the extent of all direct out-of-pocket losses and reasonable expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund the Advance to be made by such Bank as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. The Applicable Borrower shall not be liable to any Bank under this Section 5.03(a) with respect to consequential damages or loss of anticipated profits arising or incurred by such Bank in connection with the Applicable Borrower’s failure to fulfill timely the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption make available to the Applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, at an interest rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practices on interbank compensation. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) The failure of any Bank to make any Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing.

SECTION 5.04. Fees and Certain Credit Rating Determinations. (a) Facility Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Banks a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) based on the average daily amount of each Bank’s portion of the Aggregate Commitments (whether used or unused) and, after the termination of the Commitments, upon each Bank’s Applicable Percentage of any remaining outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure, in each case in accordance with Schedule 5.

The Facility Fee shall begin accruing on the date hereof and shall be payable quarterly, in arrears, not later than the last day of each January, April, July and October, on the Termination Date and, if applicable, thereafter on demand; provided that if any Bank ceases to be a party hereto prior to the Termination Date, accrued and unpaid Facility Fees payable to such Bank shall be paid on the date such Bank’s Commitment is reduced to zero. Each Borrower shall pay its pro-rata (determined based on the number of Borrowers, i.e., initially 50% each) share of the Facility Fee when due.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. In addition to the fees described in Section 4.07, the Applicable Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), in respect of any period, at the Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the average daily aggregate amount of such Bank’s L/C Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued for such Borrower’s account and outstanding during such period.

Accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable, in arrears, (i) on the last day of each January, April, July and October, (ii) on the Termination Date and (iii) thereafter on demand; provided that (a) if any Bank ceases to be a party hereto prior to the Termination Date, accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees payable to such Bank shall be paid on the date such Bank’s Commitment is reduced to zero; and (b) if any Letter of Credit is cash collateralized pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (a “Collateralized LC”), then accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees on such Collateralized LC shall not be payable on the Termination Date, but shall continue to be payable as provided in clause (i) above and also shall be payable on the date of the expiration or termination of such Collateralized LC.

SECTION 5.05. Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrowers may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent (received not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time)), terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the respective Commitments of the Banks on a permanent basis; provided that (i) any such reduction shall not cause the Aggregate Commitments to be less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at such time, and (ii) in the case of any partial reduction of the Commitments, such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount not less than the lesser of (A) €10,000,000 (or an integral multiple of €5,000,000 in excess thereof) and (B) the amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at such time.

SECTION 5.06. Repayment. The Applicable Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank the then unpaid principal amount of each Advance (other than a Swingline Loan) made to such Borrower on the Termination Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Banks the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made to such Borrower on the earlier of the Termination Date and the fifth Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made.

SECTION 5.07. Interest. The Applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance (other than a Swingline Loan or Section 4.06 Advance) made to it by each Bank from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full at a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin (such rate to change when and as the Applicable Margin changes), payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three (3) months, on the date during such Interest Period that occurs three (3) months after the first day of such Interest Period, and, in the case of each Bank, on the date such Bank’s Commitment shall be reduced to zero. The Applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan (or Section 4.06 Advance) made to it from the date of such Swingline Loan (or Section 4.06 Advance) until such principal amount shall be paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight LIBO Rate (or, solely with respect to Swingline Loans, prior to the Banks funding their participations in such Swingline Loan, at such other rate as may be agreed between the Applicable Borrower and the applicable Swingline Bank). Interest pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid quarterly in arrears on the last day of January, April, July and October and at final maturity (whether due to acceleration or otherwise) and thereafter upon demand.

SECTION 5.08. Additional Interest on Advances.

(a) The Applicable Borrower shall pay to each Bank, so long as such Bank shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance of such Bank made to such Borrower, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing the applicable rate referred to in clause (i) above by that percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage of such Bank for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance.

(b) For so long as any Bank is required to make special deposits with or comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority, the European Central Bank, any other central bank or the European System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage) in respect of any of such Bank’s Advances, such Bank shall be entitled to require the Applicable Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on each of such Bank’s Advances to it subject to such requirements, additional interest on such Advance at a rate per annum specified by such Bank to be the actual cost to such Bank of complying with such requirements in relation to such Advance.

(c) Any additional interest owed pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) above shall be determined by such Bank and such Bank shall deliver written notice thereof to the Applicable Borrower through the Administrative Agent; provided that in the case of any such required reserves, special deposits or other requirements referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above that are imposed after the date of this Agreement, the Applicable Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section for any additional interest incurred more than 120 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Applicable Borrower of such required reserves, special deposits or other requirements and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if any of the above referenced requirements are retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Any amount payable to a Bank pursuant to this Section 5.08 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank.

SECTION 5.09. Interest on Overdue Principal. If any amount of principal is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), that amount of principal shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to two percent (2%) per annum above the Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

SECTION 5.10. Interest Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrowers and the Banks of any applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 5.07.

SECTION 5.11. Performance of Banks’ Obligations. Each Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep apprised of all events and circumstances (a) that would excuse or prohibit such Bank from performing its obligation to make Advances hereunder pursuant to Section 5.01 that would permit such Bank to demand additional interest or increased costs pursuant to Section 5.08 or Section 5.13 or (c) that would permit the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks pursuant to Section 11.13 to denominate an Advance in Euro rather than the applicable Agreed Currency. Such Bank shall, as soon as practicable after becoming aware of any such event or circumstance, use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent permitted by law, to perform its obligations to make Advances through another office or lending office, and with respect to increased costs or additional interest, to reduce such increased costs or additional interest (if the use of such other office or lending office or such reduction would not adversely affect the performance of such obligations or repayment of the Advances or result in, in any material respect, any increased cost, loss, liability or other material disadvantage to such Bank in such Bank’s reasonable judgment), in either case if by taking the action contemplated by the foregoing, such event or circumstance would cease to exist.

SECTION 5.12. Optional Prepayments. (a) Any Borrower may prepay Borrowings without penalty upon notice to the Administrative Agent, given not later than 9:00 a.m. (London time) (or, with respect to Swingline Loans, 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the proposed date of prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) by telephone (to be confirmed immediately in writing) or facsimile, stating in such notice the proposed date and aggregate

principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, the Applicable Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances made as part of the same Borrowing in whole or in part (and if in part, in an aggregate Euro Amount not less than €10,000,000 and an integral multiple of €5,000,000), or, with respect to Swingline Loans, in an aggregate amount not less than €1,000,000 and an integral multiple of 500,000 units of the applicable currency) by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon and other amounts then due and owing with respect to such Borrowing, if any, hereunder to the date of prepayment; provided that if any Borrowing made pursuant to Section 4.06 does not meet the minimum amount or integral multiple requirements for prepayments set forth above, then the next prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall be in an amount that will cause each outstanding Borrowing (other than any Swingline Loan) to be in an aggregate Euro Amount not less than €10,000,000 and an integral multiple of 5,000,000 units of the applicable currency. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Advances of the several Banks included in such Borrowing or, as applicable, the Swingline Loan being repaid. If a Borrower prepays any Borrowing on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, such Borrower shall reimburse each Bank for any losses, costs and expenses contemplated in Section 11.04(b).

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.12, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share, if any, of such prepayment.

SECTION 5.13. Increased Costs. (a) Subject to Section 5.11, if, after the date of this Agreement, any of the following (a “Change in Law”) shall occur:

(x) due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve, requirements included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), either (x) there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing or committing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Advances (including any participations in Swingline Loans) hereunder or issuing or participating in any Letter of Credit or (y) any Recipient shall be subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(y) either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted after the date hereof and arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards” or (ii) compliance by any Bank with any law or regulation, or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank and such Bank determines that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, or upon the making or funding of its Advances (including any participations in Swingline Loans) hereunder or upon the issuing or maintaining of its L/C Interest hereunder,

then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon written demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, within 120 days after such written demand, additional amounts sufficient to (i) in the case of any of the events described in clause (x) above, reimburse such Bank for such increased cost, such increased cost to be determined by such Bank using its customary methods therefor (and, if such Bank uses from time to time more than one such method, the method chosen for application hereunder shall be that method which most accurately determines such increased cost), and (ii) in the case of any of the events described in clause (y) above, compensate such Bank in light of such circumstances, to the extent such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend or maintain Advances or to issue or maintain its L/C Interests hereunder. A certificate as to any such amount (demonstrating, in reasonable detail, the calculations used by such Bank to determine such amount), submitted to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent by such Bank, shall be prima facie evidence thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and 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 regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(b) Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Bank or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Bank or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Bank’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 5.14. Payments and Computations. (a) The Applicable Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 12:00 noon (London time) on the day when due and, with respect to principal of or interest on any Advance, in the currency in which such Advance was made to the Applicable Borrower, in such funds as are then customary for settlement of international transactions in such currency and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction. All other payments made hereunder shall be payable in immediately available funds in Euro. All payments hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified in Section 11.02, or at any other Lending Office of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Applicable Borrower, and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Banks. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the Applicable Borrower’s account with the

Administrative Agent, after notice to the Applicable Borrower of the amount to be charged, for each payment of principal, interest and fees as such payment becomes due. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to such payment ratably (in accordance with all like obligations then due and payable to which such payment relates) to the Banks for the account of their respective Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Bank, to such Bank for the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.14, if, after the making of any Advance in any currency other than Euro, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country that issued such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Advance was made (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the Applicable Borrower is not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Applicable Borrower hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Euro in an amount equal to the Euro Amount (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Applicable Borrower take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

(c) All calculations of interest, Facility Fees and Letter of Credit Fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of any Agreed Currency other than Euro, on the basis of the convention customarily applicable to such currency), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest, Facility Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, as the case may be. If such extension would cause such payment with respect to an Advance to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding applicable Business Day and the period of time during which such payment would have been outstanding but for compliance with this provision shall not be included in the computation of payment of interest with respect thereto.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment by such Borrower 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, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due to such Bank. If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, 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 an interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practices on interbank compensation.

SECTION 5.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Applicable Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.06 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.15, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.15(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank.

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

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

(i) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals (or copies that meet the requirements of the Code, United States Treasury Regulations and official IRS guidance) of IRS Form W-8BEN-E

establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed originals (or copies that meet the requirements of the Code, United States Treasury Regulations and official IRS guidance) of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals (or copies that meet the requirements of the Code, United States Treasury Regulations and official IRS guidance) of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (iv) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed originals (or copies that meet the requirements of the Code, United States Treasury Regulations and official IRS guidance) of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

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

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

(g) Any Bank claiming additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall (at the reasonable request of the Applicable Borrower) use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its office or Lending Office if the making of such change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, subject such Bank to any unreimbursed costs or expense and would not be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Bank. The Applicable Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such actions.

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.15 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.15(h), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.15(h) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if

the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 5.15(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 5.16. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Bank resulting from each Advance made by such Bank to such Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank by such Borrower from time hereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Advance made to each Borrower hereunder, the Agreed Currency in which such Advance is denominated and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Applicable Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Applicable Borrower and each Bank’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Advances therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Applicable Borrower to repay its Borrowings in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Bank may request that its Advances to a Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note (each a “Note”). In such event, such Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a Note or separate Notes evidencing such Advances, at such Bank’s request, payable to such Bank in a form or forms supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 11.06) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 11.06, except to the extent that any such Bank or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

SECTION 5.17. Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except for payments made pursuant to Section 5.18, if any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of principal of or interest on any Advance (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) made by it or any L/C Interest in excess of its ratable share of all payments obtained by Banks on account of, as applicable, principal of or interest on the Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) comprising the Borrowing to which such Advance relates or in respect of the Letter of Credit to

which such L/C Interest relates, such Bank shall forthwith purchase from the other Banks which shall then have Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) outstanding comprising a part of such Borrowing participations in the Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) comprising a part of such Borrowing (or, as applicable, purchase from the other Banks participations in the Swingline Loans or L/C Interests in the related Letter of Credit) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) ratably with respect to such Borrowing or Letter of Credit with each of such other Banks. If all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each selling Bank shall be rescinded and such selling Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such selling Bank’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 5.17 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of each Applicable Borrower in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any right it may have of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of an Applicable Borrower not evidenced by this Agreement or the Notes. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Bank obtains a secured claim in lieu of a set-off or other payment to which this Section 5.17 would apply, such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Banks entitled under this Section 5.17 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

SECTION 5.18. Termination and Prepayment with Respect to Any Bank. (a) In addition to the right of the Borrowers to terminate in whole or reduce ratably the unused portion of the Commitments as described in Section 5.05 and the right of the Borrowers to ratably prepay Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) as described in Section 5.12, the Borrowers shall have the right to terminate the unused portion of the Commitment of any Bank and to prepay all outstanding Advances made by such Bank in the manner described in this Section 5.18 if a Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank or a Non-Consenting Bank or if any Borrower shall have received notice (a “Special Notice”) that such Bank (i) cannot extend an Advance in any Agreed Currency and shall exercise its rights pursuant to Section 5.01(a), (ii) claims additional interest pursuant to Section 5.08, (iii) claims reimbursement for increased costs or reduced returns pursuant to Section 5.13, (iv) claims reimbursement for Taxes pursuant to Section 5.15 or (v) elects not to make an Advance in the applicable Agreed Currency pursuant to Section 11.13.

(b) Upon receipt by a Borrower of a Special Notice from any Bank or upon a Bank becoming a Defaulting Bank or a Non-Consenting Bank, the Borrowers may elect to terminate the unused portion of the Commitment of such Bank by giving notice thereof (a “Termination Notice”) to such Bank and to the Administrative Agent as follows: (1) in the case of a Non-Consenting Bank or a Bank which delivers a Special Notice, on or before the thirtieth

day following the date such Bank becomes a Non-Consenting Bank or delivers such Special Notice, or (2) in the case of a Defaulting Bank, after the date such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank and while it remains a Defaulting Bank, in each case, specifying therein (i) the name of such Bank (“Terminated Bank”), (ii) the proposed effective date of termination (“Bank Termination Date”) of the unused portion of such Terminated Bank’s Commitment, which date shall not in any event be less than five Business Days following the date of such Termination Notice, and (iii) one or more commercial banks (each, a “Successor Bank”), each such Successor Bank having a combined capital, surplus (or its equivalent) and undivided profits in an amount not less than U.S. $500,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency), which Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall have agreed, in the aggregate, to succeed to the entire Commitment of such Terminated Bank on the Bank Termination Date.

(c) Unless the Borrowers shall have elected, as evidenced by their Termination Notice, to prepay all the Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) made by a Terminated Bank outstanding as of the Bank Termination Date, any Advance (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) (each a “TB Advance”) made by such Terminated Bank having an Interest Period ending after the Bank Termination Date shall remain outstanding until the last day of such Interest Period (unless required to be paid earlier in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). On the last day of the then current Interest Period in respect of each TB Advance, the Successor Bank shall extend an Advance to the Applicable Borrower in a principal amount corresponding to such TB Advance, and having an Interest Period of the type specified in the Notice of Interest Period Election that would otherwise have applied to such TB Advance, and the proceeds of such Advance from the Successor Bank shall be used by the Applicable Borrower to repay such TB Advance to the Terminated Bank. The Successor Bank or Successor Banks specified by the Borrowers in a Termination Notice shall have agreed, prior to the Bank Termination Date, to succeed, in the aggregate, to the entire Commitment of such Terminated Bank on the Bank Termination Date which succession shall, with respect to the unused portion of such Terminated Bank’s Commitment as of such Bank Termination Date, become effective as of the Bank Termination Date and, with respect to the remaining portion of such Terminated Bank’s Commitment, become effective as and when such Terminated Bank’s Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) are repaid.

(d) If the Borrowers shall have elected, as evidenced by their Termination Notice, to prepay all the Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) made by a Terminated Bank outstanding as of the Bank Termination Date, the Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall in the aggregate extend to each Applicable Borrower, on the Bank Termination Date, Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) (with interest at a rate to be agreed upon by the Applicable Borrower and each Successor Bank) corresponding in respective amounts to each Advance being prepaid as of such date, each of which Advances shall have an Interest Period beginning on the Bank Termination Date and ending on the last day of the Interest Period of the Advance being prepaid to which it corresponds.

(e) Each such termination pursuant to this Section 5.18 shall be effective on the Bank Termination Date proposed by the Borrowers in the related Termination Notice if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred prior to such date and be continuing on such date, (ii) in the event the Borrowers shall have elected to prepay all Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan) made by such Terminated Bank outstanding as of such date, (A) each

Applicable Borrower shall have prepaid the outstanding aggregate amount of all Advances made by the Terminated Bank, together with accrued interest and accrued fees to such date on the amount prepaid and all other amounts payable to such Bank as of such date and (B) the Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall have extended to the Applicable Borrowers Advances equal in aggregate amount to the Advances of the Terminated Bank being prepaid as required pursuant to Section 5.18(d), and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Successor Bank or Successor Banks shall have agreed in the aggregate to succeed to the entire Commitment of the Terminated Bank in accordance with this Section 5.18. On a Bank Termination Date, the applicable Successor Bank (or Successor Banks, as applicable) shall succeed to the L/C Interests of the Terminated Bank, and the Terminated Bank shall thereafter cease to have any L/C Interest or any participation in, or liability for any drawings made under, any Letter of Credit.

(f) Subject to subsection (e) above, on the Bank Termination Date, (i) each Successor Bank shall become a party to this Agreement as if such Successor Bank shall have been named on the signature pages hereof, and such Successor Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of a “Bank” hereunder and (ii) the Terminated Bank shall have no further Commitment under this Agreement (other than with respect to Advances, if any, made by such Bank which remain outstanding after such date) and shall no longer be a “Bank” under this Agreement for any purpose (other than with respect to Advances made by such Bank which remain outstanding after such date) except insofar as it shall be entitled to any payment or indemnification, or be obligated to make any indemnification, on account of any event which shall have occurred, or any right or liability which shall have arisen, on or prior to the date of repayment of such outstanding Advances (including any participation in a Swingline Loan). The termination of any Bank’s Commitment and the prepayment of such Bank’s Advances pursuant to this Section 5.18 shall not relieve or satisfy the obligations of any Borrower to make any such prepayments free and clear of all Indemnified Taxes, to reimburse such Bank for all Other Taxes and for all increased costs pursuant to Section 5.13, or to comply with all other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 11.04).

SECTION 5.19. Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a) Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 5.04(a). Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees under Section 5.04(b) for any period during which such Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to the extent allocable to its L/C Exposure of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 11.01) which requires Majority Banks consent.

(c) All or any part of any Swingline Exposure or L/C Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable

Percentages but only to the extent such reallocation does not cause any non-Defaulting Bank to exceed its Commitment; provided that if such reallocation cannot, or can only partially, be effected, one or more Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to any Borrower hereunder or under law, within two Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of each Issuing Bank such Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation described in this clause (c)) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.02 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, reallocation of Swingline Exposure or L/C Exposure in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver or release of claims against any such Defaulting Bank.

(d) If a Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure to such Borrower pursuant to clause (c) above, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 5.04(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure is so cash collateralized.

(e) If the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Banks are reallocated pursuant to clause (c) above, then the fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Sections 5.04(a) and (b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Banks’ Applicable Percentages.

(f) If all or any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clause (c) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Bank hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Bank (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Bank’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Exposure) and Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 5.04(b) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s L/C Exposure shall be payable, on a pro rata basis, to the Issuing Banks until each such L/C Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated.

(g) So long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank, no Swingline Banks shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless, in each case, the applicable Swingline Bank or Issuing Bank is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the non-Defaulting Banks, cash collateral provided pursuant to clause fifth of Section 5.19(h) below and/or cash collateral provided by any Borrower in accordance with Section 5.19(c).

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(i) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, each Swingline Bank and each Issuing Bank agree that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Commitment and on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Advances of the other Banks (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Advances in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

(j) The Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 5.19(c) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Bank or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

The Guarantor may, at any time or from time to time, designate one or more Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Guarantor as an additional “Borrower” hereunder by furnishing to the Administrative Agent a Designation Letter in duplicate, duly completed and executed by the Guarantor and such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, together with such legal opinions, corporate certificates and other documents and KYC information relating to the proposed additional Borrower as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

SECTION 10.04. Bank Credit Decision. Each Bank agrees that it has itself been, and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status and nature of the Borrowers. Accordingly, each Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent that such Bank has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on the Administrative Agent, or any other Bank, (i) to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided by any Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions herein contemplated (whether or not such information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Bank by the Administrative Agent), (ii) to assess or keep under review on its behalf the financial condition, creditworthiness, condition, affairs, status or nature of any Borrower or (iii) in entering into this Agreement or in making its own credit decisions with respect to the taking or not taking of any action under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.05. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Applicable Borrower) ratably

according to the respective principal amounts of the Commitments then held by each of them (or if the Commitments have at the time been terminated, ratably according to the respective Euro Amounts of their Advances then outstanding), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, 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 this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, 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 Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification or amendment of this Agreement or preservation of any rights of the Administrative Agent or the Banks under, or the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers.

SECTION 10.06. Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs and other provisions of this Article X shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.07. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent to assume the position as Administrative Agent of the retiring Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be either a Bank hereunder or a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 (or its equivalent in another currency). The Borrowers shall have the right to approve any successor Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (in all such cases the Borrowers shall be entitled to take into account their past and then existing commercial banking relationships, among other things); provided that, if an Event of Default shall have occurred, such right of the Borrowers to approve the successor Administrative Agent shall be suspended during the continuance of such Event of Default. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring

Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 10.08. Syndication Agents and Mandated Lead Arrangers. None of the Banks identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent” or a “Mandated Lead Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Banks identified as Syndication Agents or as Mandated Lead Arrangers in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder or pursuant hereto.

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.01. Amendments, Etc.

(a) Subject to the further terms of this Section 11.01, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Banks, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Banks, do any of the following: (a) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 6.01, (b) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances and L/C Obligations, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action hereunder, or amend the definition herein of “Majority Banks,” or (c) amend this Section 11.01. No amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) change the Commitments of any Bank or subject any Bank to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Bank, (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or the Reimbursement Obligations or any Facility Fees, Letter of Credit Fees or other amount payable hereunder without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby, provided, however, that only the consent of the Majority Banks shall be necessary to amend Section 5.09 or to waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest at the rate specified in such Section 5.09 or (iii) change any date fixed for any payment in respect of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or the Reimbursement Obligations or any Facility Fees, Letter of Credit Fees or other amount payable hereunder without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the actions contemplated by Section 2.05 shall not be subject to the consent of the Banks, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Section 2.05.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or amendment and restatement of this Agreement which is in all other respects approved by the Banks in accordance with this Section 11.01 shall require the consent or approval of any Bank (i) which immediately after giving effect to such amendment or amendment and restatement, shall have no Commitment or other obligation to maintain or extend credit under this Agreement (as so amended or amended and restated), including any obligation in respect of any drawing under or participation in any Letter of Credit and (ii) which, substantially contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment or amendment and restatement, shall have been paid in full all amounts owing to it hereunder (including principal, interest and fees). From and after the effectiveness of any such amendment or amendment and restatement, any such Bank shall be deemed to no longer be a “Bank” hereunder or a party hereto; provided that any such Bank shall retain the benefit of indemnification and other provisions hereof which, by the terms hereof would survive a termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.02. Notices, Etc.

(a) All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing and delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile, as follows: if to a Borrower, at the address set forth for such Borrower on the signature pages hereof; if from a Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, to the Administrative Agent at the address set forth for the Administrative Agent on the signature pages hereof; if from the Administrative Agent to any Bank, at the address of such Bank’s Lending Office or, in the case of a notice or communication relating to information delivered under Section 8.01(g), by posting on an Internet website established by the Administrative Agent with Intralinks, Inc. or other similarly available electronic media; or, in any case, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto (except in the case of a Borrower, as to which a change of address may be made by notice to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks and except in the case of any Bank, as to which a change of address may be made by notice to the Administrative Agent). Subject to the next sentence, notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and communications (i) pursuant to Articles II and X shall not be effective until they are received by the addressee during its normal business hours; and (ii) sent by facsimile to the Applicable Borrower shall not be effective until the sender has received confirmation of receipt (in writing or by telephone) from the intended recipient. The Administrative Agent agrees to deliver promptly to each Bank copies of each report, document, certificate, notice and request, or summaries thereof, which any Loan Party is required to, and does in fact, deliver to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including copies of any notices delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.01(g).

(b) Notices and other communications to the Banks and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail, FpML messaging, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Bank or any

Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II, III or IV if such Bank or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article II, III or IV by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or any Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

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

SECTION 11.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver hereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 11.04. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each Borrower agrees to reimburse on demand the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Mandated Lead Arrangers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, subject to such limits as may be agreed to in writing by the applicable parties from time to time, the reasonable and documented fees, time charges and expenses of one law firm for the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Mandated Lead Arrangers, and, with the prior written consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any special or local counsel deemed appropriate by such law firm) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Mandated Lead Arrangers in connection with the preparation, negotiation, distribution through e-mail or secured website, execution, syndication and enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes, if any, and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or contemplated hereby; provided, however, that such out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Mandated Lead Arrangers through the date of execution of this Agreement shall only be payable as set forth in a separate fee letter (if any) executed and delivered prior to the effective date of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Borrowers. Each Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all direct out-of-pocket losses, and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel), of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Swingline Bank and any Bank in connection with the enforcement (whether by legal proceedings, negotiation or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes, if any, and the other

documents delivered hereunder; provided that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay the fees, time charges and expenses of any counsel other than (i) a single counsel for the Administrative Agent, (ii) a single counsel for the Banks, (iii) any local or special counsel reasonably determined to be necessary by the counsel referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, and (iv) any additional counsel reasonably determined to be necessary by any counsel for the Banks pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above due to an actual or potential conflict of interest. The obligation of each Borrower to reimburse or pay amounts or provide indemnities pursuant to this Section 11.04(a) and Section 11.04(c) shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that another Borrower has reimbursed or paid such amount or provided such indemnities.

(b) If (i) due to payments made by any Borrower due to acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 9.01 or due to any other reason, any Bank receives payments of principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance made to such Borrower other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance or (ii) any the Borrower fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered by it pursuant hereto, such Borrower shall, upon demand by any Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank any amounts required to compensate such Bank for any additional direct out-of-pocket losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or failure, including any such loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain such Advance; provided that the amount of such loss, cost or expense shall not exceed the amount determined by such Bank to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on a principal amount equal to such Advance, at the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Advance, for the period from the date of such payment to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Advance) (in either such case, the “Relevant Period”), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for the Relevant Period at the interest rate that such Bank would bid, were it to bid at the commencement of the Relevant Period, for deposits in Dollars in a comparable amount and for the Relevant Period from other banks in the London interbank market. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower to a Bank under this Section 11.04(b), each Bank shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Advance made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Advance by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period.

(c) Subject to the next sentence, each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Bank, each Bank, their respective Affiliates and each of the foregoing’s respective directors, officers and employees from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel) which may be incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Swingline Bank or such Bank or any such director, officer or employee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation, or proceeding (whether or not any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower, its equity holders, its Affiliates, its creditors or any other Person) (i) related to this Agreement, any transaction or proposed transaction (whether or not consummated) contemplated hereby or in which any proceeds of any Borrowing are applied or

proposed to be applied, directly or indirectly, by any Borrower, whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Swingline Bank or such Bank or any such director, officer or employee is a party to such transactions or (ii) related to any Borrower’s entering into this Agreement, or to any actions or omissions of any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors or employees in connection therewith, and in each case regardless of whether the indemnified Person is party thereto. The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any such indemnified Person from or against any portion of such claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (a) arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified Person as determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) that result from the violation by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Swingline Bank or such Bank of any law or judicial order.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Advance or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve any Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify a Person against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Person by a third party.

SECTION 11.05. Right of Set-Off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 9.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.01, each Bank (and each of its Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Notes issued by such Borrower held by such Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and any Notes and of whether or not such obligations may be matured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Applicable Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Bank, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Bank may have.

SECTION 11.06. Binding Effect; Assignment. (a) This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Bank that such Bank has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Banks.

(b) Any Bank may assign, participate or otherwise transfer all or any part of, or interest in, such Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the Notes issued to it hereunder to one or more banks or other entities (excluding natural persons and Persons which are not Qualifying Banks); provided that (i) in the case of any assignment or other transfer (other than a participation) to a Person that is not a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, the Borrowers (except during the continuance of an Event of Default), the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Banks and the Administrative Agent, in each case whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall have expressly agreed in writing; provided that a material increase in counterparty risk shall be reasonable grounds (although not exclusive grounds) for the withholding of such consent; and further provided that each Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; (ii) in the case of any assignment in part, the amount of the Commitment being assigned pursuant to such assignment shall in no event be less than €5,000,000 (or a lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent and, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers); and (iii) any participation shall be in compliance with Section 11.06(f). Upon the effectiveness of any such assignment (but not in the event of any such participation or other transfer), such assignee shall be a Bank hereunder and shall have all the rights and benefits thereof. However, unless and until the conditions for the Administrative Agent’s treating such assignee as holder pursuant to clause (c) below shall have been satisfied, such assignee shall not be entitled to exercise the rights of a Bank under this Agreement and the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make payment of any amount to which such assignee may become entitled hereunder other than to the Bank which assigned its rights to such assignee. Nothing contained herein shall impair the ability of any Bank, in its discretion, to agree, solely as between itself and its assignees, participants and other transferees, upon the manner in which such Bank shall exercise its rights under this Agreement and the Notes made to such Bank. The assignee, if it shall not already be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers and their affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(c) In order to effect any assignment permitted hereunder by a Bank of all or any portion of its Commitment hereunder, the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 11.06 hereto (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the assignor or assignee. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording and delivery to the Administrative Agent of such assignee’s Administrative Questionnaire, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and (y) the Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining

portion of an 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 5.13, 5.15 and 11.04 for any events or circumstances occurring or existing before the effective date of assignment).

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 11(f) of the Guaranty (and any later statements delivered pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Guaranty) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

(e) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Advances owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Any Bank may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Banks (but with notice to the Borrowers, unless such participation is sold to an Affiliate of such Bank), sell to any Person (other than a Person which is not a Qualifying Bank, a natural Person, a Defaulting Bank or any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) participations in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances (including such Bank’s participations in Swingline Loans)

owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.05 without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the third sentence of Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.13 and 5.15 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.15(f) shall be delivered to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.18 and of the last sentence of Section 5.11 as it if were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.13 or 5.15 with respect to any participation, than the Bank from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Bank that sells participation agrees, at the request and expense of any Borrower, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.18 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.05 as though it were a Bank; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.17 as though it were a Bank. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participations for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Bank may pledge its right, title and interest under this Agreement and any Note made to it to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any other Governmental Authority, as security for financial accommodations or privileges being provided or extended to such Bank by such Governmental Authority.

SECTION 11.07. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, each Bank and each Issuing Bank agree to hold any Information (as defined below) which it may receive from any Loan Party pursuant to the Loan Documents in confidence, except for disclosure (i) to its Affiliates, legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors, and then solely on a need-to-know basis, (ii) in response to any request or order therefor issued by any Governmental Authority, (iii) as required by law, regulation, or judicial process, (iv) within any legal proceeding to enforce any of its rights or remedies hereunder; provided that an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and the requisite Banks shall have elected under Section 9.01 to enforce such rights or remedies against the Borrowers, (v) to any permitted assignee or participant under Section 11.06, (vi) to any agents and advisors of a Bank solely in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the Advances and L/C Obligations hereunder, (vii) of Information which has already become publicly available at the time of such disclosure or (viii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations. In the case of disclosure pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, the disclosing party agrees, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable law, regulation or judicial process, to promptly notify the Loan Parties prior to such disclosure and to request confidential treatment if a Loan Party so requests. “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or the business of any of the foregoing, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by a Loan Party and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry.

EACH BANK ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTOR AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY A BORROWER, THE GUARANTOR OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT A BORROWER, THE GUARANTOR AND THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH BANK REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 11.08. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws (as distinguished from the conflicts of laws rules) of the State of New York.

SECTION 11.09. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the other parties hereto or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.02; provided, however, that with respect to any Borrower, service of process on such Borrower may be made on the Guarantor in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.02 and addressed to such Borrower, and each Borrower agrees that such service so made shall be effective against such Borrower. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 11.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or in a .PDF or similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 11.12. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with all of the other documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein to be delivered by the Borrowers, including, the fee letters (if any) executed and delivered prior to the effective date of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Co-Lead Arrangers and the Borrowers, embodies the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, written and oral, relating to the subject matter hereof as among the Borrowers, the Banks parties hereto and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11.14. Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in Article II and Article VI with respect to any Advance denominated in an Agreed Currency other than in Euro, if there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Advance any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which, after the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s best efforts, would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks make it materially disadvantageous for such Advance to be denominated in the Agreed Currency specified by a Borrower, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to such Borrower and the Banks, and such Advance shall not be denominated in such Agreed Currency but shall be made on such Borrowing Date in Euro, in an aggregate principal amount approximately equal to the Euro Amount of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Interest Period Election, as the case may be, unless such Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before such date that it elects not to borrow on such date.

SECTION 11.15. Existing Euro Facility. The Banks that are parties to the Existing Euro Facility (which constitute “Majority Banks” thereunder) waive any notice of the termination of the commitments thereunder and such Banks and Baxter Healthcare SA agree that such commitments automatically shall terminate concurrently with the effectiveness hereof pursuant to Section 6.01.

SECTION 11.16. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent

could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s office in London on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of a Borrower in respect of any sum due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the 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, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, the Applicable Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Banks as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Bank under Section 5.17, such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Applicable Borrower.

SECTION 11.17. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Bank that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 11.18. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Banks are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Banks, on the other hand, (ii) each Borrower and each other Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) each Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and each Bank is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Loan Party or any of Loan Party’s Affiliates, or any other Person and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers nor any Bank has any obligation to any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers and the Banks and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and

none of the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers, or any Bank has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Banks and each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Mandated Lead Arrangers or any Bank with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 11.19. Lending Installations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Bank at its option may make any Advance or issue any Letter of Credit, as applicable, by causing any domestic or foreign office, branch or Affiliate of such Bank (an “Applicable Lending Installation”) to make such Advance or Letter of Credit that has been designated by such Bank to the Administrative Agent; provided that a Bank shall not designate an Alternate Lending Installation if the effect of doing so would increase the amount of the Applicable Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.13 or 5.15 relative to what they would be absent such designation. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Applicable Lending Installation of such Bank and the Advances, Letters of Credit and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Bank for the benefit of any such Applicable Lending Installation. Each Bank may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Applicable Borrower, designate replacement or additional Applicable Lending Installations through which Advances or Letters of Credit will be made by it and for whose account Advance or Letter of Credit payments are to be made. Any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Applicable Borrower to repay such Advance or Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
