of the Canadian Borrower at such time, the Canadian Borrower hereby authorizes the Tranche B Swingline Lender to, and the Tranche B Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on each Business Day, make available to the Canadian Borrower by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s), the proceeds of a Tranche B Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account of the Canadian Borrower that Business Day; provided that, if on any Business Day there is insufficient borrowing capacity to permit the Tranche B Swingline Lender to make available to the Canadian Borrower a Tranche B Swingline Loan in the amount necessary to pay all items to be so drawn on any such Controlled Disbursement Account of the Canadian Borrower on such Business Day, then the Canadian Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 in the amount of such deficiency to be made on such Business Day. The aggregate amount of Tranche B Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $8,750,000. The Tranche B Swingline Lender shall not make any Tranche B Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. All Tranche B Swingline Loans shall be Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings.

(c)The European Administrative Agent, the Tranche C Swingline Lender and the Tranche C Revolving Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Tranche C Commitment, promptly after the Borrower Representative (or the applicable Borrower) requests a LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing under the Tranche C Facility, the Tranche C Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(c) apply to such Borrowing Request by advancing, on behalf of the Tranche C Revolving Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the applicable European Borrower, on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the Tranche C Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Tranche C Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(h). Each Tranche C Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing, as applicable, funded by the applicable Tranche C Revolving Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Tranche C Swingline Lender solely for its own account. The aggregate amount of Tranche C Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $50,000,000. The Tranche C Swingline Lender shall not make any Tranche C Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. All Tranche C Swingline Loans shall be Overnight LIBO Borrowings.

(d)Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make U.S. Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrower, on behalf of the U.S. Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed the U.S. Availability (any such excess U.S. Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “U.S. Overadvances”); provided that, no U.S. Overadvance shall result in a Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such U.S. Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this clause, but solely

with respect to the amount of such U.S. Overadvance. In addition, U.S. Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied (except to the extent such U.S. Overadvance would cause any U.S. Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its U.S. Commitment, or cause the Applicable Limit to be exceeded). All U.S. Overadvances shall constitute ABR Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make U.S. Overadvances is limited to (x) together with all Tranche B Overadvances constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche C Overadvances constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of U.S. Overadvances constituting Protective Advances not to exceed at any time 5.0% of the sum of the total Revolving Commitments at such time and (y) together with all Tranche B Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche C Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of U.S. Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time. No U.S. Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days, and no U.S. Overadvance shall cause any U.S. Revolving Lender’s U.S. Revolving Exposure to exceed its U.S. Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make U.S. Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(e)Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Tranche B Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrower, on behalf of the Tranche B Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed the Tranche B Availability (any such excess Tranche B Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “Tranche B Overadvances”); provided that, no Tranche B Overadvance shall result in a Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Tranche B Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this clause, but solely with respect to the amount of such Tranche B Overadvance. In addition, Tranche B Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied (except to the extent such Tranche B Overadvance would cause any Tranche B Revolving Lender’s Tranche B Revolving Exposure to exceed its Tranche B Commitment, or cause the Applicable Limit to be exceeded). All Tranche B Overadvances shall constitute Canadian Prime Rate Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make Tranche B Overadvances is limited to (x) together with all U.S. Overadvances constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche C Overadvances constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of Tranche B Overadvances constituting Protective Advances not to exceed at any time 5.0% of the sum of the total Revolving Commitments at such time and (y) together with all U.S. Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche C Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of Tranche B Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time. No Tranche B Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days and no Tranche B Overadvance shall cause any Tranche B Revolving Lender’s Tranche B Revolving Exposure to exceed its Tranche B Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Tranche B Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(f)Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Tranche C Revolving Loans to any European Borrower, on behalf of the Tranche C Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed the Tranche C Availability for such Borrower (any such excess Tranche C Revolving Loans for any such Borrower are herein referred to collectively as “Tranche C Overadvances”); provided that, no Tranche C Overadvance shall result in a Default due to the Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Tranche C Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this clause, but solely with respect to the amount of such Tranche C Overadvance. In addition, Tranche C Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied (except to the extent such Tranche C Overadvance would cause any Tranche C Revolving Lender’s Tranche C Revolving Exposure to exceed its Tranche C Commitment, or cause the Applicable Limit to be exceeded). All Tranche C Overadvances shall constitute Overnight LIBO Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative Agent to make Tranche C Overadvances is limited to (x) together with all U.S. Overadvances constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche B Overadvances constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of Tranche C Overadvances constituting Protective Advances not to exceed at any time 5.0% of the sum of the total Revolving Commitments at such time and (y) together with all U.S. Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances and all Tranche B Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances, an aggregate amount of Tranche C Overadvances not constituting Protective Advances not to exceed $10,000,000 at any time. No Tranche C Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days and no Tranche C Overadvance shall cause any Tranche C Revolving Lender’s Tranche C Revolving Exposure to exceed its Tranche C Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Tranche C Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

(g)Upon the making of a U.S. Swingline Loan, a Tranche B Swingline Loan, a Tranche C Swingline Loan, a U.S. Overadvance, a Tranche B Overadvance, or a Tranche C Overadvance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan or Overadvance), each U.S. Revolving Lender (with respect to U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. Overadvances), Tranche B Revolving Lender (with respect to Tranche B Swingline Loans and Tranche B Overadvances), or Tranche C Revolving Lender (with respect to Tranche C Swingline Loans and Tranche C Overadvances) shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the applicable Swingline Lender or the applicable Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan or Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Commitment, Tranche B Commitment, or Tranche C Commitment, as applicable. The applicable Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent may, at any time, require with respect to U.S. Swingline Loans, the U.S. Revolving Lenders, with respect to Tranche B Swingline Loans, the Tranche B Revolving Lenders, and with respect to Tranche C Swingline Loans, the Tranche C Revolving Lenders, to fund, in

the currency in which the applicable Swingline Loan was denominated, their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance purchased hereunder, the applicable Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by such Agent in respect of such Loan.

(h)Each of the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent, on behalf of the U.S. Swingline Lender, the Tranche B Swingline Lender, or the Tranche C Swingline Lender, as applicable, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the U.S. Revolving Lenders, the Tranche B Revolving Lenders, or the Tranche C Revolving Lenders, as applicable, on at least a weekly basis or on any more frequent date that the applicable Agent elects, by notifying the applicable Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon, Local Time (i) on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”), with regard to U.S. Swingline Loans, (ii) two Business Days prior to the Settlement Date, with regard to Tranche B Swingline Loans, and (iii) three Business Days prior to the Settlement Date, with regard to Tranche C Swingline Loans (or, in each case, on the date of such requested Settlement, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Each U.S. Revolving Lender, Tranche B Revolving Lender, or Tranche C Revolving Lender, as the case may be (other than the Swingline Lenders, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer, in the currency in which the applicable Loan was denominated, the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the applicable Agent, to such account of such Agent as such Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent in respect of U.S. Swingline Loans shall be applied against the amounts of the U.S. Swingline Lender’s U.S. Swingline Loans and, together with the U.S. Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such U.S. Swingline Loan, shall constitute U.S. Revolving Loans of such U.S. Revolving Lenders, which shall be ABR Loans, and shall no longer constitute U.S. Swingline Loans. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent in respect of Tranche B Swingline Loans shall be applied against the amounts of the Tranche B Swingline Lender’s Tranche B Swingline Loans and, together with the Tranche B Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Tranche B Swingline Loan, shall constitute Tranche B Revolving Loans of such Tranche B Revolving Lenders, which shall be Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and shall no longer constitute Tranche B Swingline Loans. Such amounts transferred to the European Administrative Agent in respect of Tranche C Swingline Loans shall be applied against the amounts of the Tranche C Swingline Lender’s Tranche C Swingline Loans and, together with the Tranche C Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Tranche C Swingline Loan, shall constitute Tranche C Revolving Loans of such Tranche C Revolving Lenders, which shall be LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing in the relevant currency with an Interest Period of one week, and shall no longer constitute Tranche C Swingline Loans. If any such amount referred to in this clause (h) is not transferred to the applicable Agent by any applicable Lender on such Settlement Date, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, as specified in Section 2.07.

Section 2.06 Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account (or the Borrower Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of another Borrower), in a form reasonably acceptable to each applicable Agent and the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit), the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit), or the applicable European Issuing Bank (in the case of European Letters of Credit), at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. U.S. Letters of Credit and Canadian Letters of Credit may be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, and European Letters of Credit may be denominated in Dollars, Euros, or Sterling. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by one or more Borrowers to, or entered into by one or more Borrowers with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit (i) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (A) to fund 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 (B) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement, (ii) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law relating to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, or (iii) if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in the implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed not to be in effect on the Effective Date for purposes of clause (ii) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed (A) initially, $300,000,000 and (B) thereafter, such greater or lesser amount as may be agreed in writing from time to time between the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (so long as such amount does not exceed either (I) the aggregate of the Issuing Bank Sublimits or (II) the aggregate Revolving Commitments), (ii) the aggregate U.S. LC Exposure shall not exceed (A) initially, $175,000,000 and (B) thereafter, such greater or lesser amount as may be agreed in writing from time to time between the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (so long as such amount does not exceed the U.S. Issuing Bank Sublimit), (iii) the aggregate Canadian LC Exposure shall not exceed (A) initially, $25,000,000 and (B) thereafter, such greater or lesser amount as may be agreed in writing from time to time between the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (so long as such amount does not exceed the Canadian Issuing Bank Sublimit), (iv) the aggregate European LC Exposure shall not exceed (A) initially, $100,000,000 and (B) thereafter, such greater or lesser amount as may be agreed in writing from time to time between the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (so long as such amount does not exceed the European Issuing Bank Sublimit), and (v) the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) no U.S. Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify any U.S. Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding U.S. LC Exposure in respect of all U.S. Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its Affiliates would exceed such U.S. Issuing Bank’s U.S. Issuing Bank Sublimit, (y) no Canadian Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify any Canadian Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding Canadian LC Exposure in respect of all Canadian Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its Affiliates would exceed such Canadian Issuing Bank’s Canadian Issuing Bank Sublimit and (z) no European Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify any European Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding European LC Exposure in respect of all European Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its Affiliates would exceed such European Issuing Bank’s European Issuing Bank Sublimit.

(c)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination or non-renewal by notice from the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary to the extent permitted by such Letter of Credit) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, including, without limitation, any automatic renewal provision, one year after such renewal or extension) (provided that any Issuing Bank may agree in its sole discretion, to issue Letters of Credit for a period longer than one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) below), upon such additional terms and conditions (including increased or additional fees) as may be agreed between it and the applicable Borrower) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (it being understood that any Letter of Credit that provides for time drafts to be submitted thereunder shall have an expiry date which is in advance of such five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date by the number of days contemplated for such time drafts); provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above).

(d)Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank hereby grants to each U.S. Revolving Lender (with respect to each U.S. Letter of Credit), the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Tranche B Revolving Lender (with respect to each Canadian Letter of Credit), and the applicable European Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Tranche C Revolving Lender (with respect to each European Letter of Credit), and each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank, each Tranche B Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank, and each Tranche C Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the applicable European Issuing Bank, as the case may be, a participation in each such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, (i) with respect to each U.S. Letter of Credit, each U.S. Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay in Dollars to the Administrative Agent, (ii) with respect to each Canadian Letter of Credit, each applicable Tranche B Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, in the same currency in which such Canadian Letter of Credit is issued or in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount thereof, to the Administrative Agent, and (iii) with respect to each European Letter of Credit, each applicable Tranche C Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, in the same currency in which such European Letter of Credit is issued, to the European Administrative Agent, in each case for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in clause (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this clause in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment,

renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower (with respect to any Letter of Credit issued for its account) shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit) or the European Administrative Agent (in the case of European Letters of Credit), in the same currency as the applicable LC Disbursement (or, in the case of a U.S. Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount thereof), an amount equal to such LC Disbursement (i) not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative or the applicable Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Local Time, on such date, or, (ii) if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative or the applicable Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on (A) the Business Day that the Borrower Representative or the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Local Time, on the day of receipt, or (B) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative or the applicable Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower Representative (or the applicable Borrower) may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or U.S. Swingline Loan (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit), a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or Tranche B Swingline Loan (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit), or a Tranche C Swingline Loan (in the case of European Letters of Credit), in an equivalent amount and like currency and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing, Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or Swingline Loan (or the applicable portion thereof). If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the applicable Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent (in the case of LC Disbursements in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit) or the European Administrative Agent (in the case of LC Disbursements in respect of European Letters of Credit) in the same currency as the applicable LC Disbursement or in the Dollar Amount thereof (in the case of U.S. Letter of Credit made in Canadian Dollars), its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the applicable Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the applicable Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the applicable Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the applicable Agent of any payment from a Borrower pursuant to this clause, such Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this clause to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then such Agent shall distribute

such payment to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan (but shall be U.S. Secured Obligations (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit), Canadian Secured Obligations (in the case of Canadian Letters of Credit), or European Secured Obligations (in the case of European Letters of Credit)) and shall not relieve the applicable Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)Exchange Indemnification and Increased Costs. The U.S. Borrower, the Canadian Borrower, or the European Borrower, as applicable, shall, upon demand from any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender, pay to such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender, the amount of (i) any loss or cost or increased cost incurred by such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender; (ii) any reduction in any amount payable to or in the effective return on the capital to such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender; (iii) any currency exchange loss, in each case with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), that such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender sustains as a result of the applicable Borrowers’ repayment in Dollars of any Letter of Credit that was denominated in any other currency; or (iv) any interest or any other return, including principal, foregone by such Issuing Bank as a result of the introduction of, change over to or operation of the Euro in any member state participating in the Euro. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Bank shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

(g)Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ respective obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in clause (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) any payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.06, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. No Agent, Lenders or Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are

hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the applicable Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

(i)Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of LC Disbursements in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit made in Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans, (ii) in the case of an LC Disbursement in respect of Canadian Letters of Credit made in Canadian Dollars or U.S. Letters of Credit made in Canadian Dollars, at the rate per annum then applicable to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, and (iii) in the case of an LC Disbursement in respect of European Letters of Credit, at the rate per annum then applicable to Overnight LIBO Loans, and in each case such interest shall be payable when such reimbursement is due; provided that, if the applicable Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.06, then Section 2.13(g) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this clause shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 2.06 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(j)Replacement of the Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of

an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the applicable Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank”, “U.S. Issuing Bank”, “Canadian Issuing Bank”, and “European Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, U.S. Issuing Bank, Canadian Issuing Bank, or European Issuing Bank, as applicable, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, U.S. Issuing Banks, Canadian Issuing Banks, or European Issuing Banks, as applicable, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative and the Lenders, in which case, such Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with this Section 2.06(j).

(k)Cash Collateralization. Subject to Section 2.18(b), if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent (in the case of U.S. Letters of Credit or Canadian Letters of Credit) or the European Administrative Agent (in the case of European Letters of Credit), or from the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the aggregate LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this clause or if any of the other provisions hereof require cash collateralization, (i) the U.S. Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Parties for the purpose of securing the Secured Obligations (the “LC Collateral Account”), cash in the applicable currency and in an amount equal to 105% of the amount of the U.S. LC Exposure as of such date, (ii) the Canadian Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the International Secured Parties for the purpose of securing the International Secured Obligations (the “Canadian LC Collateral Account”), cash in the applicable currency (or currencies) in an amount equal to 105% of the amount of the Canadian LC Exposure as of such date, and (iii) the European Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the European Administrative Agent, in the name of the European Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the International Secured Parties for the purpose of securing the International Secured Obligations (the “European LC Collateral Account”), cash in the applicable currency (or currencies) in an amount equal to 105% of the amount of the European LC Exposure as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposits, (A) if made into the LC Collateral Account, shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, (B) if made

into the Canadian LC Collateral Account, shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the International Secured Obligations, and (C) if made into the European LC Collateral Account, shall be held by the European Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the International Secured Obligations. The applicable Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such accounts, and (x) the U.S. Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing the Secured Obligations) a security interest in the LC Collateral Account and all money or other assets on deposit therein or credited thereto, (y) the Canadian Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the International Secured Parties, securing the International Secured Obligations) a security interest in the Canadian LC Collateral Account and all money or other assets on deposit therein or credited thereto, and (z) the European Borrower hereby grants the European Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the International Secured Parties, securing the International Secured Obligations) a security interest in the European LC Collateral Account and all money or other assets on deposit therein or credited thereto; provided that nothing in this sentence of this Section 2.06(k) shall be deemed to limit the rights of any Agent pursuant to Section 5.14. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the applicable Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral Account, the Canadian LC Collateral Account, or the European LC Collateral Account, as applicable. Moneys in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the U.S. Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements in respect of U.S. Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the U.S. Borrower for the U.S. LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with U.S. LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the aggregate U.S. LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. Moneys in the Canadian LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Canadian Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements in respect of Canadian Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Canadian Borrower for the Canadian LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with Canadian LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the aggregate Canadian LC Exposure), to be applied to satisfy other International Secured Obligations. Moneys in the European LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the European Administrative Agent to reimburse the European Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements in respect of European Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the European Borrowers for the European LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with European LC Exposure representing at least a majority of the aggregate European LC Exposure), to be applied to satisfy other International Secured Obligations. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such

Borrower within three Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent.

(l)Issuing Bank Reports to Agents. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement, and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. In addition, each Issuing Bank shall, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on each Business Day, notify the applicable Agent in reasonable detail as to the amount of the LC Exposure with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(m)LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.

Section 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, most recently designated by such Agent for such purpose by notice to the applicable Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The applicable Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative (or, if directed by the Borrower Representative, to the account of the applicable Borrower) by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account; provided that Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement in respect of a U.S. Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable U.S. Issuing Bank; (ii) an LC Disbursement in respect of a Canadian Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Canadian Issuing Bank; (iii) an LC Disbursement in respect of a European Letter of Credit as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the European Administrative Agent to the applicable European Issuing Bank; and (iv) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the applicable Agent. U.S. Loans and participations in U.S. Swingline Loans and U.S. Letters of Credit will be funded by each U.S. Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the U.S. Commitment. Tranche B Loans and participations in Tranche B Swingline Loans and Canadian Letters of Credit will be funded by each Tranche B Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Tranche B Commitment. Tranche C Loans and participations in Tranche C Swingline Loans and European Letters of Credit will be funded by each Tranche C Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of the Tranche C Commitment.

(b)Unless the applicable Agent shall have received notice from an applicable Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (or, in the case of any ABR Borrowing or Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, prior to the time of such proposed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to such Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, such Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with clause (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if an applicable Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to such Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrowers severally agree to pay to such Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to such Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the applicable Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of Dollar denominated amounts), Canadian Prime Rate Loans (in the case of Canadian Dollar denominated amounts), or Overnight LIBO Loans (in the case of Euro or Sterling denominated amounts). If such Lender pays such amount to the applicable Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.08 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing, a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type, to convert CDOR Borrowing to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) into CDOR Borrowings, or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing, a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably (in accordance with the principal amount of the applicable Loans) among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued. Tranche C Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars may not be converted to ABR Loans.

(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (in the case of U.S. Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans) or the European Administrative Agent with a copy to the Administrative Agent (in the case of European Revolving Loans) of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile or electronic communication to the Administrative Agent (in the case of U.S. Revolving Loans or Canadian Revolving Loans) or by facsimile to the European Administrative Agent with a copy to the Administrative Agent (in the case of European Revolving Loans) of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of European Revolving Loans, by the European Administrative Agent) and signed by the Borrower Representative.

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

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

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

101

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing, a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing; and

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s (or thirty days’) duration.

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

(e)If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing, a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted or continued to (i) an ABR Borrowing, in the case of a U.S. Borrowing or a Tranche B Borrowing denominated in Dollars, (ii) a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing, in the case of a CDOR Borrowing, or (iii) a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Sterling, or (iv) a EURIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Euros, or (v) a Tranche C Borrowing denominated in Dollars. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (x) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing, a EURIBOR Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing and (y) unless repaid, (A) each LIBOR Borrowing that is a U.S. Borrowing or a Tranche B Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (B) each CDOR Borrowing shall be converted to a Canadian Prime Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (C) each LIBOR Borrowing denominated in Sterling, and each LIBOR Borrowing that is a Tranche C Borrowing denominated in Dollars, shall be converted to a LIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month (or such shorter period as may be determined by the European Administrative Agent in its discretion) at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (D) each EURIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to a EURIBOR Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month (or such shorter period as may be determined by the European Administrative Agent in its discretion) at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b)The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Revolving Commitments upon the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations.

(c)The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000; (ii) each reduction to the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the U.S. Commitment, the Tranche B Commitment, and the Tranche C Commitment ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of such commitments at such time; and (ii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments, the Tranche B Commitment, or the Tranche C Commitment if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations.

(d)The Borrower Representative shall notify each Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under clause (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the applicable Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to each Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

(e)The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitments by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments (but in no event in excess of $250,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases), either from one or more of the Lenders or from other lending institutions provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, (ii) the Administrative Agent has approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iii) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, (iv) any such additional Revolving Commitment shall be on the same terms as the other Revolving Commitment and (v) the procedures described in Section 2.09(f) have been satisfied. Nothing contained in this Section 2.09 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.

(f)Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender being added or

103

increasing its Revolving Commitment, subject only to the approval of the Required Lenders if any such increase would cause the Revolving Commitments to exceed $950,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase, (i) the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and, in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of such increase and (C) neither the funding of such increase nor the existence of the Liens securing such increase will violate the terms of the Senior Unsecured Note Documents or the Subordinated Convertible Note Documents, or the documentation of any other Indebtedness of any Loan Party, in each case as in effect on the date of such increase, (ii) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to any Agent or any Lender shall have been paid, and (iii) the Borrowers shall have delivered all customary agreements, certificates, opinions and other customary documents reasonably requested by any Agent (including, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, updated appraisals).

(g)Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Revolving Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase and shall distribute such revised Revolving Commitment Schedule to the European Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and the Borrower Representative, whereupon such revised Revolving Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Revolving Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement. On the Business Day following any such increase, all outstanding ABR Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised Applicable Percentages and the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation. LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans and CDOR Loans shall not be reallocated among the Lenders until the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of any such increase, at which time any such LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans being continued shall be reallocated, and any such LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans being converted to ABR Loans or Canadian Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, shall be converted and allocated, among the Lenders (including the newly added Lenders) at such time; provided that if an Event of Default occurs after the date of any such increase but prior to the reallocation of the Loans such Loans shall, subject to Section 2.16, be reallocated among the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Commitment.

(h)Notwithstanding the foregoing, no MIRE Event may be closed until the date that is (x) if there are no Mortgaged Properties in a “Special Flood Hazard Area” (or the equivalent thereof in Canada or any jurisdiction applicable to the property of any

(f)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or any Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g)Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest; Illegality. (a) If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing or EURIBOR Borrowing:

(i)any Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate) the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURIBOR Rate for such Interest Period for the applicable currency; or

(ii)any Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the LIBO Rate or the EURIBOR Rate for such Interest Period for the applicable currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the applicable Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the applicable Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the such Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing or a EURIBOR Borrowing of such currency shall be ineffective, and any such request for a continuation of a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing or a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be deemed request to convert such LIBOR Revolving Borrowing or a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) if any borrowing request requests a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing, and (iii) if any borrowing request requests (or any Interest Rate Election requests a conversion to or continuation of) a LIBOR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Sterling or a EURIBOR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Euros, such borrowing request shall be deemed a request for (and any Interest Rate Election shall be deemed a request to convert such Borrowing to) an Alternate Rate Borrowing, in each case unless such Borrowing Request is then rescinded by written notice from the Borrower Representative (or the applicable Borrower) to the applicable Agent (any such notice to provide the applicable Agent and the applicable Lenders sufficient time to act thereon prior to funding of the requested Borrowing).

(b)If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a CDOR Borrowing:

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

(c)If at any time:

(i)the European Administrative Agent determines, or any Tranche C Swingline Lender advises the European Administrative Agent that it has determined (in each case, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Overnight LIBO Rate; or

(ii)the European Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Overnight LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in any Overnight LIBO Borrowing;

then the European Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the European Administrative Agent (or such Tranche C Swingline Borrower) notifies the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Tranche C Protective Advances, Tranche C Overadvances, and Tranche C Swingline Loans that would otherwise be an Overnight LIBO Borrowing, shall be an Alternate Rate Borrowing.

(d)If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any LIBOR Borrowing, EURIBOR Borrowing or CDOR Borrowing, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market or other applicable market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Representative through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue LIBOR Loans, EURIBOR Loans or CDOR Loans, as applicable, or to convert ABR Borrowings to LIBOR Borrowings, EURIBOR Borrowings or CDOR Borrowings, as applicable, will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

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

116

Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’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 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith, but not if such notice is rescinded pursuant to Section 2.14), or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19 or 9.02(d), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or a CDOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, EURIBOR Rate or CDOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period to such LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan from other banks in the Eurocurrency market, or for Canadian Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period to such CDOR Loan from other banks in the Canadian bankers’ acceptance market, as applicable. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2,16 shall be delivered to the Borrower

117

Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17 Taxes. (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any applicable law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

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

(c)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party or the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the applicable 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 applicable Agent.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Canadian Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally with respect to the Tranche B Facility, the European Loans Parties shall, jointly and severally with respect to the Tranche C Facility, and the U.S. Loan Parties shall, jointly and several with respect to the Facility, indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.17(d)) 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; provided that if the Loan Party reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Recipient will use reasonable efforts to cooperate (including where applicable, by promptly applying for a refund) with the Loan Party to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which Taxes shall be repaid to the Loan Party in accordance with Section 2.17(g)) so long as such efforts would not cause the Recipient to suffer any economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage that it, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determines to be material (and the Loan Party shall reimburse the Recipient for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Recipient incurred in pursuing such refund). The indemnity under this Section 2.17(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to the Borrower Representative a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the applicable Agent.

118

(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the applicable Agent for (i) any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the applicable Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender, and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case, that are paid or payable by the applicable 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. The indemnity under this Section 2.17(e) shall be paid within 10 days after the applicable Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the applicable Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the applicable Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the applicable Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the applicable Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the applicable Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the applicable Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower Representative or the applicable Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the applicable Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the applicable Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including 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 2.17(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the applicable Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.17(f) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower Representative and the applicable Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the applicable Agent (in such number of copies

119

reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative and the applicable Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax;

(B)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty;

(C)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, and (2) a tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code;

(E)in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this clause (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a tax certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 on behalf of such partners; or

(F)any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower Representative or the applicable Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

120

(iii)If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17 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 that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.17(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.17(g) if the payment of which would place the 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 and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.17(g) 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.

(h)Issuing Bank and FATCA. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(i)VAT.

(i.)Any payments by any Loan Party under any Loan Document which (in whole or in part) constitute consideration for a supply or otherwise serve for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be

121

exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable in connection therewith. If, in connection with any payments by any Loan Party under any Loan Document, VAT is chargeable (otherwise than by way of reverse charge) to any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender, as the case may be, such Loan Party shall promptly pay to each such Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender, as the case may be, an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and each such Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender shall, promptly following a request therefor by the Borrower Representative, provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Borrower Representative).

(ii.)For the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, where any Loan Party is required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender, as the case may be, for any costs or expenses, that Loan Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify each such Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender, as the case may be, against all VAT and any stamp duty, registration or other similar Tax payables, in each case incurred in connection with the entry into, performance or enforcement of any Loan Document.

(iii.)In relation to any supply made by any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender to any party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender, that party must promptly provide such Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender with details of that party's VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Agent's, Issuing Bank's or Lender's VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

(j)FATCA Grandfathering. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrower Representative and the applicable Agent shall treat (and the Loan Parties hereby authorize such Agent to treat) the Obligations outstanding on July 1, 2014, as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471.2(b)(2)(i).

122

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. All payments (i) in respect of Loans (and interest thereon) and LC Exposure shall, except as expressly set forth herein, be made in the same currency in which such Loan was made or Letter of Credit issued, and (ii) in respect of all other amounts payable hereunder or under other Loan Documents shall be paid in Dollars. All such payments shall be made and allocated, (x) in the case of the U.S. Loans, for the account of the U.S. Revolving Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such U.S. Loans and the U.S. LC Exposure, (y) in the case of the applicable Tranche B Loans, for the account of the Tranche B Revolving Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Tranche B Loans and Canadian LC Exposure, and (z) in the case of the applicable Tranche C Loans, for the account of the Tranche C Revolving Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Tranche C Loans and European LC Exposure, in each case made to the applicable Borrower held by them. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the applicable Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, L2, Chicago, Illinois, except that (i) payments of Tranche B Loans and LC Disbursements or fronting fees that are payable to any Canadian Issuing Bank, shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 200 Bay Street, Royal Bank Plaza, South Tower, Suite 1800, Toronto M5J 2J2 Canada; (ii) payments of Tranche C Loans and LC Disbursements or fronting fees that are payable to any European Issuing Bank shall be made to the European Administrative Agent at its offices at 125 London Wall, London EC2Y 5AJ, United Kingdom; and (iii) payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender shall be paid as expressly provided herein; provided that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Each applicable Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient, in like funds, promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b)Any proceeds of Collateral received by any Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be applied from a European Collection Deposit Account during any Cash Management Period (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the applicable Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct and at all times after the exercise of remedies against the Collateral by any Agent, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to each Agent and each Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), second, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the

123

principal of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances), unreimbursed LC Disbursements, and Qualified Secured Swap Agreement Obligations in an amount equal to the lesser of such Qualified Secured Swap Agreement Obligations and the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, ratably, seventh, to deposit in the U.S. LC Collateral Account, the Canadian LC Collateral Account, and the European LC Collateral Account cash (as provided in Section 2.06(k)) collateral equal to 105% of the sum of the U.S. LC Exposure, the sum of the Canadian LC Exposure, and the sum of the European LC Exposure, respectively, to be held as cash collateral for the Secured Obligations (in the case of amounts on deposit in the U.S. LC Collateral Account) and the International Secured Obligations (in the case of amounts on deposit in the Canadian LC Collateral Account or the European LC Collateral Account), as the case may be, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations constituting Secured Obligations (other than Qualified Secured Swap Agreement Obligations) up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to any Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless a Default is in existence, no Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any LIBOR Loan, EURIBOR Loan or CDOR Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans, Canadian Prime Rate Loans, or Overnight LIBO Loans and, in any such event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. Each applicable Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any such application of proceeds from Collateral of a U.S. Loan Party shall be made solely to U.S. Secured Obligations, until all U.S. Secured Obligations of all types are paid in full, prior to application to any International Secured Obligations and (ii) any such application of proceeds from Collateral securing solely the International Secured Obligations shall be made solely in respect of International Secured Obligations.

(c)At the election of the applicable Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees, costs and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section 2.18 or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with any Agent. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize (i) each applicable Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective

124

Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) each applicable Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with such Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

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

(e)Unless the applicable Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to an Agent for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the applicable Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the applicable Agent at a rate determined by such Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or, in the case of amounts due in Dollars, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, if greater.

125

(f)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then each applicable Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by such Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in such order as may be determined by the applicable Agent in its discretion.

(g)It is expected that the Administrative Agent will provide the Borrowers with account statements or invoices with respect to any of the Secured Obligations (the “Statements”) on a quarterly basis. The failure of the Administrative Agent to provide Statements shall not be a default by the Administrative Agent, and if such Statements are provided, they will be solely for the Borrowers’ convenience. Statements may contain estimates of the amounts owed during the relevant billing period, whether of principal, interest, fees or other Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers pay the full amount indicated on a Statement on or before the due date indicated on such Statement, the Borrowers shall not be in default of payment with respect to the billing period indicated on such Statement; provided, that acceptance by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, of any payment that is less than the total amount actually due at that time (including but not limited to any past due amounts) shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to receive payment in full at another time.

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank, and provided, that if in respect of Tranche C Revolving Loans or European Letters of Credit extended to or on behalf of any French Borrower, such lending office shall be a French Qualifying Lender or French Qualifying Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If (1) any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15, (2) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, (3) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (4) any Tranche C Revolving Lender at any time ceases to be a French Qualifying Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender or

126

Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or Issuing Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unrea-sonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments in the future. No Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or Issuing Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b)such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.02(b)) and the Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder;

(c)if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only (x) to the extent that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower Representative shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time) and (y) to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment;

127

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii)if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv)if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(v)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit feespayable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (to the extent not reallocated or cash collateralized) shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d)so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or Bail-In Action with respect to the Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to defease any risk in respect of such Lender hereunder.

128

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

Section 2.21 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by such Agent, such Issuing Bank, or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by any Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.22 Banking Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate thereof (other than JPMCB) (i) providing Banking Services for any Loan Party shall deliver to the applicable Agent prompt written notice (executed by such Lender or Affiliate and the Borrower Representative) setting forth the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations of such Loan Party to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent) and (ii) having Swap Agreements with any Loan Party shall deliver to the applicable Agent written notice (executed by such Lender or Affiliate and the Borrower Representative) setting forth the aggregate amount of all Swap Agreement Obligations of such Loan Party to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent), which notices shall otherwise be consistent with, and delivered within the time period required by, the definition of Canadian Secured Obligation, European Secured Obligations, or U.S. Secured Obligations, as applicable. In furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall furnish the applicable Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, but in any event not less than monthly, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations. The most recent information provided to the applicable Agent shall be used in determining the amounts to be applied in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations pursuant to Section 2.18(b) and which tier of the waterfall, contained in Section 2.18(b), such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations will be placed. No Agent accepts any responsibility and shall have no liability for (i) at any time determining which Lenders or Affiliates hold, or which Swap Agreement Obligations constitute, Secured Obligations or Qualified Secured Swap Agreement Obligations or (ii) the calculation of the exposure owing by the Loan Parties under any such Qualified Secured Swap Agreements or other Swap Agreement Obligations, and shall be entitled in all cases to rely on the applicable counterparty and the applicable Loan Party party to such agreement for the calculation thereof.

129

Section 2.23 Excess Resulting From Exchange Rate Change. (a) With respect to the Tranche B Commitment and the Tranche C Commitment, if at any time following one or more fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian Dollar, the Euro, or Sterling against the Dollar, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations, or any other limitations hereunder based in Dollars, (i) if such excess is in an aggregate amount that is greater than or equal to $1,000,000, within two Business Days of notice thereof from the applicable Agent, (ii) if such excess is an aggregate amount that is less than $1,000,000 and such excess continues to exist in an aggregate amount less than $1,000,000 for at least five Business Days, within two Business Days of notice thereof from the applicable Agent, or (iii) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall immediately (A) make the necessary payments or repayments to reduce the applicable Canadian Obligations or European Obligations, as the case may be, to an amount necessary to eliminate such excess or (B) in the case of the Canadian Borrower, maintain or cause to be maintained with the Administrative Agent, and in the case of a European Borrower, maintain or cause to be maintained with the European Administrative Agent (in each case for the benefit of the International Secured Parties), deposits as continuing collateral security for the International Secured Obligations in an amount equal to or greater than the amount of such excess, such deposits to be maintained in such form and upon such terms as are acceptable to the applicable Agent, as the case may be. Without in any way limiting the foregoing provisions, the applicable Agent shall, weekly or more frequently in the sole discretion of such Agent, make the necessary exchange rate calculations to determine whether any such excess exists on such date and advise the Borrowers if such excess exists.

(b)If the U.S. Borrower provides cash collateral to secure obligations related to U.S. Letters of Credit that are denominated in Canadian Dollars and, as a result of fluctuations in the applicable exchange rate between Dollars and the Canadian Dollar, the Dollar Amount of cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent is less than the specified amount of cash collateral so required to be maintained by the U.S. Borrower the U.S. Borrower shall, promptly following a request therefor by the Administrative Agent, deposit in the LC Collateral Account an additional Dollar Amount of cash collateral equal to such shortfall to be held as cash collateral in accordance with Section 2.06(k).

(b)Except for the Disclosed Matters (i) no Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability that in either case could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (1) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability.

(c)Since the date of this Agreement, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has withheld all employee withholdings and has made all employer contributions required to be withheld and made by it pursuant to applicable law on account of the Canada and Quebec pension plans, employment insurance and employee income taxes.

Section 3.10 Pension Plans.

(a)ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification No. 715) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $100,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $200,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan, except for non-compliance which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)Canadian Pension Plans and Canadian Benefit Plans. Schedule 3.10 lists all Canadian Benefit Plans and Canadian Pension Plans as of the Effective Date maintained or contributed to by the Loan Parties and their Canadian Subsidiaries or in respect of which they have any liability. The Canadian Pension Plans are duly registered under the ITA and all other Applicable Pension Laws which require registration. Each Canadian Loan Party and each of its Canadian Subsidiaries has complied with and performed all of its obligations under and in respect of the Canadian Pension Plans and Canadian Benefit Plans under the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable laws (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations), except where any non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to

134

result in a Material Adverse Effect. All employer and employee payments, contributions or premiums to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Canadian Pension Plan or Canadian Benefit Plan have been paid in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreement and all applicable laws. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, there have been no improper withdrawals or applications of assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans. No promises of benefit improvements under the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans have been made except where such improvement could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The pension fund under each Canadian Pension Plan is exempt from the payment of any income tax and there are no taxes, penalties or interest owing in respect of any such pension fund. All material reports and disclosures relating to the Canadian Pension Plans required by such plans and any Requirement of Law to be filed or distributed have been filed or distributed, except where any non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No facts or circumstances have occurred or exist that could result, or be reasonably anticipated to result, in the termination in full of any Canadian Pension Plan by any Governmental Authority under Applicable Pension Laws. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, there are no outstanding disputes concerning the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans or the Canadian Benefit Plans, except claims for benefits in the normal course. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, the most recent actuarial valuations filed under Applicable Pension Laws indicated that each of the Canadian Pension Plans is fully funded on both a going concern and on a solvency basis. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, no material changes have occurred since the date of such actuarial valuation reports which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the conclusions of the actuary concerning the funding of any Canadian Pension Plan.

(c)Foreign Pension Plans. Except as could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect: (i) all employer and employee contributions (including insurance premiums) required from any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates by applicable law or by the terms of any Foreign Pension Plan (including any policy held thereunder) have been made, or, if applicable, accrued in accordance with normal accounting practices; (ii) the present value of the aggregate accumulated benefit obligations of all Foreign Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund such Foreign Pension Plans) with respect to all current and former participants did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such Foreign Benefits Plans; (iii) each Foreign Pension Plan that is required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities; and (iv) each such Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance (A) with all material provisions of applicable law and all material applicable regulations and regulatory requirements (whether discretionary or otherwise) and published interpretations thereunder with respect to such Foreign Pension Plan and (B) with the terms of such Foreign Pension Plan.

135

Section 3.11 Disclosure. Each Borrower and Holdings have disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, to the extent that any such report, financial statement, certificate or other information was based upon or constitutes forecasted or projected financial information, the Borrowers and Holdings each represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time delivered, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by said projections may differ from the projected results.

Section 6.14 Sanctions Laws and Regulations.

(a)No Borrower shall, and shall ensure that none of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Loans (i) for any purpose which would breach the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or other similar legislation in other jurisdictions; (ii) to fund, finance or facilitate any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person or in any Sanctioned Country, or otherwise in violation of Sanctions, as such Sanctions-related lists or Sanctions are in effect from time to time; or (iii) in any other manner that will result in the violation of any applicable Sanctions by any party to this Agreement.

183

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS

Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the U.S., each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the European Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank), and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

For the purposes of holding any security granted by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the hypothecary representative (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Hypothecary Representative”) of the Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on its behalf, and for its benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under any hypothec. The Hypothecary Representative shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to it pursuant to any hypothec, pledge, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Parties, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any hypothec or pledge on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Administrative Agent as the hypothecary representative as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Hypothecary Representative in such capacity. The substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall also constitute the substitution of the Hypothecary Representative. To the extent necessary or useful, the parties hereby waive the application of Section 32 of the Act respecting the special powers of legal persons (Québec), and of Articles 1310 and 2147 of the Civil Code of Québec. The foregoing is without prejudice for any appointment by a Secured Party of a fondé de pouvoir of the Secured Parties contained in the Existing Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 9.09 hereof, this second paragraph of Article VIII shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the Province of Québec.

184

Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and each such bank and its Affili-ates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and nor shall any Agent be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by any bank serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Each 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 such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and

185

shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as each Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor (which shall, in the case of the European Administrative Agent, be an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent that is a French Qualifying Lender acting through an office in the United Kingdom). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank (which shall, in the case of the European Administrative Agent, be an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent that is a French Qualifying Lender acting through an office in the United Kingdom). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent irrevocably appoints the European Administrative Agent to act as security trustee under and in connection with each Collateral Document entered into by any Loan Party (other than any such Collateral Document governed by the law of the United States or Canada). Each of the Issuing Banks and Lenders authorizes the European Administrative Agent to exercise the rights specifically given to the European Administrative Agent under or in respect of the Collateral Documents, together with any rights incidental thereto.

Each Tranche C Revolving Lender and each European Issuing Bank (and, as applicable, each Tranche B Revolving Lender and each Canadian Issuing Bank) hereby irrevocably (a) appoints and empowers the European Administrative Agent to constitute, register, manage and enforce on its behalf any security interest created by or pursuant to the Spanish Security Agreement or any other Collateral Document that is governed by the laws of Spain, and to exercise in its name and on its behalf any and all rights in favor of such International Secured Parties (which shall include, without limitation, the right to send any notice and make any declaration thereunder, the right to enforce security interests and to make any calculation in respect thereof and the right to release security interests in the circumstances set forth therein and in this Agreement); (b) appoints the European Administrative Agent to act as its agent in connection with the French Security Agreement in accordance with Article 2328-1 of the French Civil Code, as amended, and be the beneficiary of the French Security Agreement on behalf and in the name of such International Secured Parties; (c) grants to the European Administrative Agent a power of attorney (Vollmacht) in respect of any Collateral Document governed by the laws of Germany (i) to execute for and on behalf of each of them any such Collateral Document and related notices, and to do and perform all acts it deems necessary or desirable to create valid rights (including rights in rem (dingliche Rechte)) under any such Collateral Document or any other document that determines how security held pursuant thereto is to be held and

186

administered; and (ii) to appoint for and on behalf of each of them any other Person as its representative in relation to any such Collateral Document, empowered to exercise all rights set forth in such Collateral Document (including, without limitation, the right to give notices, to make declarations, to enforce rights in respect of security, to make calculations and to release security as provided therein); (d) releases the European Administrative Agent from the restrictions of section 181 of Germany’s Civil Code (BGB), as amended, and from the corresponding provisions set forth in other applicable law, including but not limited to, restrictions with respect to the exercise of the power of attorney (Vollmacht) granted pursuant to clause (c) above; (e) agrees that the European Administrative Agent also acts for others and for itself in relation to each Collateral Document governed by the laws of Germany and to any action (including, without limitation, actions taken with respect to legal proceedings in Germany) that the European Administrative Agent may take from time to time with connection with any Collateral Document governed by the laws of Germany; (f) authorizes the European Administrative Agent to appoint other Persons with substitute powers to act for and on its behalf with respect to each Collateral Document governed by the laws of Germany (and to exempt such persons from the restrictions of section 181 of Germany’s Civil Code (BGB), as amended, and from the corresponding provisions set forth in other applicable law), in each case to the extent legally possible; and (g) appoints the European Administrative Agent as trustee (Treuhänder) and administrator for the purpose of accepting and administering the Collateral Documents governed by the law of Germany for and on behalf of the other International Secured Parties (and the European Administrative Agent hereby accepts such appointment on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement). Each of the Tranche C Revolving Lenders and the European Issuing Banks (and, as applicable, each of the Tranche B Revolving Lenders and the Canadian Issuing Banks) which is barred by its constitutional documents or by-laws from granting such exemption shall notify the European Administrative Agent accordingly. Each Tranche C Revolving Lender and each European Issuing Bank (and, as applicable, each Tranche B Revolving Lender and each Canadian Issuing Bank) ratifies and approves all acts and declarations previously done by the European Administrative Agent on such its behalf (including, for the avoidance of doubt the declarations made by the European Administrative Agent as representative without power of attorney (Vertreter ohne Vertretungsmacht) in relation to the creation of any pledge (Pfandrecht) on behalf and for the benefit of any secured party as future pledgee or otherwise).

Notwithstanding with the obligations assumed by each Tranche C Revolving Lender and European Issuing Bank (and, as applicable, each Tranche B Revolving Lender and each Canadian Issuing Bank) pursuant to paragraph above, each such Person undertakes to grant as many powers of attorney as Spanish laws and regulations may require for the purposes of appointing the European Administrative Agent as its representative for granting, registration, amendment and enforcement purposes in relation to any Spanish Security Agreement or any Collateral Document governed by the laws of Spain. Additionally, if required by law or needed for enforcement or registration purposes, each such Person undertakes to comply with the obligation to obtain a Spanish Tax Identification number (N.I.F.) in Spain before the relevant Spanish Tax Authorities.

The European Administrative Agent shall: (a) in the case of non-accessory (nicht akzessorische) security rights created under the Collateral Documents governed by the law of Germany, hold and administer and, as the case may be, enforce such Collateral in its own name, but for the account of the International Secured Parties; and (b) in the case of accessory (akzessorische) security rights created by way of pledge or other accessory instruments under

187

the Collateral Documents governed by the law of Germany, administer and, as the case may be, enforce such Collateral in the name and for and on behalf of the International Secured Parties or in its own name, but in each case for the account of the International Secured Parties and to accept as their representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right granted in favor of such European Revolving Lender or European Issuing Bank in connection with the Loan Documents under German law and to agree to and execute on its behalf as their representative (Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any German Security Agreement which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such security.

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

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) (i) no Agent makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) no Agent shall be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Agents undertake no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold each Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by such Agent or such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

The Joint Lead Arrangers shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their respective capacities as Joint Lead Arrangers, as applicable, as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.

The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agents) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Agents shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

188

In its capacity, each of the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, each of the Administrative Agent and the European Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the Secured Parties.

JPMCB has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated lenders under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and related legislation (the “Flood Laws”). JPMCB, as administrative agent or collateral agent on a syndicated facility, will post on the applicable electronic platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender in the syndicate) documents that it receives in connection with the Flood Laws. However, JPMCB reminds each Lender and Participant in the facility that, pursuant to the Flood Laws, each federally regulated Lender (whether acting as a Lender or Participant in the facility) is responsible for assuring its own compliance with the flood insurance requirements.

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that (x) it has received and reviewed the U.S. Reaffirmation Agreement, (y) it consents to the terms thereof, including any amendments to the U.S. Security Agreement contained therein, and agrees to be bound thereby and directs the Administrative Agent to execute the U.S. Reaffirmation Agreement.

Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that (x) it has received and reviewed the Canadian Reaffirmation Agreement, (y) it consents to the terms thereof, including any amendments to the Canadian Security Agreement contained therein, and agrees to be bound thereby and directs the Administrative Agent to execute the Canadian Reaffirmation Agreement.

(v)if to any other Lender or any Issuing Bank, to it at its address or facsimile number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or in any other writing delivered by such Person to the Administrative Agent.

All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received or (ii) sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent, provided 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.

(b)Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II or to compliance and no Default certificates delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent or the European Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the applicable Lender; provided further that notices to the European Administrative Agent must be delivered by facsimile. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Loan Parties) 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. All such notices and other communications (i) 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 not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) 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 (b)(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

192

(c)Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

(d)Electronic Systems.

(i)Each Loan Party agrees that the Agents may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on a Platform.

(ii)Any Electronic System used by the Agents is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of such Electronic Systems and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or any Electronic System. In no event shall the Agents or any of their Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or any Agent’s transmission of communications through an Electronic System. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by any Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effec-tive only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

193

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the applicable Agent or Agents that are parties thereto, and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.10(c), Section 2.18(b) or (d), or the third sentence of Section 2.18(a), in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (E) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of “U.S. Borrowing Base”, “Canadian Borrowing Base”, “French Borrowing Base”, “German Borrowing Base”, “Spanish Borrowing Base”, or “Additional European Borrower Borrowing Base” without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (F) modify eligibility criteria, as such eligibility criteria are in effect on the Effective Date (including adding new categories of eligible assets or eliminating any category of the reserves), in any manner that has the effect of increasing the amounts available to be borrowed hereunder without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; (G) (1) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) or (2) change any provision of any Loan Document requiring the Joint Lead Arrangers to make a determination or grant any consent thereunder or change the definition of “Joint Lead Arrangers” without the written consent of each Joint Lead Arranger, (H) change Section 2.20, without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (I) release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), or (J) except as provided in clause (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender); provided, further, that no

194

such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.06 or any letter of credit application and any bilateral agreement between the Borrower Representative and the Issuing Bank regarding the Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank Sublimit or the respective rights and obligations between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, respectively. The Administrative Agent may also amend the Revolving Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c)The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to such Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the Payment in Full of all of Secured Obligations, and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender , (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of (including Equity Interests in any Foreign Subsidiary that ceases to be First Tier Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to a Permitted Reorganization) if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to such Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and each Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a Subsidiary, each Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty provided by such Subsidiary, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no Agent will release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (or each Lender, to the extent required by clause (J) of Section 9.02(b)); provided that, the Agents may in their discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of 5.0% of the sum of the total Revolving Commitments at such time during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (or each Lender, to the extent required by clause (J) of Section 9.02(b)). Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d)If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of

195

Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

To the extent a transfer of rights and obligations hereunder could be construed as a novation within the meaning of Articles 1329 et seq. of the French Civil Code, each party hereto agrees that upon an assignment under this Section 9.04, the Collateral created under the French Security Agreement shall be preserved and maintained for the benefit of the European Administrative Agent, the new Lender and the remaining International Secured Parties pursuant to Articles 1334 et seq. of the French Civil Code. The new Lender may, in case of an assignment of rights by an existing Lender hereunder, if it considers it necessary to make such transfer effective as against any French Loan Party, arrange for the assignment to be notified to such French Loan Party in accordance with Article 1324 of the French Civil Code. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 9.04) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment, participations in Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A)the Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided, further, that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment if it has not objected in writing within ten Business Days of receiving notice of such assignment; and

(B)the Administrative Agent.

(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Revolving Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such

199

assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment (I) if in respect of the U.S. Facility, of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to the U.S. Facility, (II) if in respect of the Tranche B Facility, of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to the Tranche B Facility and (III) if in respect of the European Facility, of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to the European Facility;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an (x) Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, 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, the other Loan Parties 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; and

(E)any assignee (other than an Approved Fund) shall be a French Qualifying Lender in the case of an assignment of Tranche C Commitments, or a French Qualifying Issuing Bank in the case of an assignment of European LC Exposure.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender; provided that, if such Person is not a French Qualifying Lender, such Person shall not be required to extend any Tranche C Loan to French Borrower and any transfer of the International Revolving Commitment thereto shall be deemed not to have occurred in France.

200

“Ineligible Institution” means a (a) natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Parent, (c) holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such holding company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business, (d) a Loan Party or a Subsidiary or other Affiliate of a Loan Party or (e) a Person whose primary business is the manufacture and/or distribution of wire and cable products.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 9.04.

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

(v)Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption

201

are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (v).

(c)Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) (provided that no such participation shall be permitted to a Participant whose primary business is the manufacture and/or distribution of wire and cable products) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section 9.04; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting

202

solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)In the case of Spain, if the European Administrative Agent, any of the Agents or the assignee so requests, the document evidencing the Assignment shall be notarized in Spain before a Spanish notary public and filled for registration purposes before any relevant Spanish Public Registry.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instru-ments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstand-ing and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

203

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to (i) fees payable to the Agents and (ii) increases or reductions of the Issuing Bank Sublimit of the Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section 9.08. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

204

Section 9.13 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

Each Lender, Issuing Bank and Agent hereby appoints each other Lender, Issuing Bank and Agent as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens in favor of any Agent to secure any of the Secured Obligations (in each case for the benefit of the applicable Lenders, Agents and Issuing Banks) in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the applicable Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the applicable Agent thereof and, promptly upon the applicable Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the applicable Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the applicable Agent’s instructions.

Section 9.17 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.17 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.18 Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency at the Spot Rate on the date two Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Loan Party agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Administrative Agent receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency, each Loan Party agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Administrative Agent against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 9.18 means the spot rate at which the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

(b)Each German Loan Party and the European Administrative Agent agree and acknowledge that the obligations of each German Loan Party under this Section 9.22 are several, separate and independent (selbständiges Schuldanerkenntnis) from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of each German Loan Party to any Agent, Issuing Bank, or Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party (the “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each German Loan Party is liable under this Section 9.22 be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that:

(b)The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c)Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

219

Section 10.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any other Loan Guarantor, other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state or provincial law, as applicable, and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. Each applicable Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been Paid in Full, provided, that the proceeds of Collateral of a Foreign Loan Party shall not be applied to Guaranteed Obligations of any U.S. Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

Section 10.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification, that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.

Section 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the applicable Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

220

Section 10.07 Information. Each applicable Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither any Agent, nor any Issuing Bank or Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

Section 10.08 Termination. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for the applicable Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of such Guaranteed Obligations. Nothing in this Section 10.08 shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of, or eliminate, limit, reduce or otherwise impair any rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have in respect of, any Default or Event of Default that shall exist under clause (p) of Article VII hereof as a result of any such notice of termination.

Section 10.09 Taxes. Each payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Loan Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Loan Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 10.09), the Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

Section 10.10 Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Loan Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Voidable Transaction Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Loan Guarantor may have under this Loan Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.

Section 10.11 Contribution.

(a)To the extent that any Loan Guarantor shall make a payment under this Loan Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Loan Guarantor if each Loan Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Loan Guarantor’s

221

“Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Loan Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, such Loan Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(b)As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Loan Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Loan Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Loan Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Loan Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.

(c)This Section 10.11 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 10.11 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Loan Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Loan Guaranty.

(d)The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Guarantor or Loan Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e)The rights of the indemnifying Loan Guarantors against other Loan Guarantors under this Section 10.11 shall be exercisable upon the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

222

Section 10.13 French Guarantee Limitations. (a) The obligations and liabilities of any French Guarantor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a French Borrower) under the Loan Documents and in particular under this Article X shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would constitute the provision of financial assistance within the meaning of Article L. 225-216 of the French Commercial Code and/or would constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of Article L. 241-3, L. 242-6 or L. 244-1 of the French Commercial Code or any other law or regulation having the same effect, as interpreted by French courts.

(b)The obligations and liabilities of any French Borrower under this Article X shall be limited at all times to the European Guaranteed Obligations, up to a maximum principal amount equal to the aggregate of (i) the outstanding aggregate amount of the Tranche C Commitment up to the amount made available to such French Borrower and (ii) the principal amount outstanding of any intercompany loan made available (directly or indirectly) to such French Borrower (or any of its Subsidiaries) from the proceeds of any Loan under this Agreement.

(c)The obligations and liabilities of any French Guarantor (other than the French Borrower) under this Article X:

(i)for the obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents of any other Foreign Loan Party which is not a Subsidiary of such French Guarantor shall be limited, at any time, to an amount equal to the aggregate of all amounts directly or indirectly borrowed under this Agreement by such other Foreign Loan Party to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent to such French Guarantor under intercompany loan agreements and outstanding at the date a payment is to be made by such French Guarantor under this Article X; it being specified that any payment made by such French Guarantor under this Article X in respect of the obligations of such Foreign Loan Party shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the intercompany loans due by such French Guarantor under the intercompany loan agreements referred to above and that any repayment of the intercompany loans by such French Guarantor shall reduce pro tanto the amount payable under this Article X; and

(ii)for the obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents of any other Foreign Loan Party which is its Subsidiary shall not be limited and shall therefore cover all amounts due by such Foreign Loan Party as Borrower and/or as Guarantor; it being specified that where such Subsidiary is itself a Guarantor which guarantees the obligations of a member of the Group which is not a Subsidiary of the relevant French Guarantor, the amounts payable by such French Guarantor under this clause (ii) in respect of the obligations of this Subsidiary as Guarantor, shall be limited as set out in clause (i) above.

Section 10.14 German Guarantee Limitations.

223

(a)The right of the Secured Parties to enforce the Guaranteed Obligations of a German Guarantor existing in the form of a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, GmbH) or a limited liability partnership with a limited liability company as partner (GmbH & Co. KG) under this Article X shall be limited if and to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations secure any obligation of an affiliated company (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (in each case other than any of such German Guarantor's direct or indirect subsidiaries) and the enforcement of such Guaranteed Obligations would cause:

(i)such German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) net assets (Reinvermögen) determined in accordance with the provisions of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) consistently applied by such German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheets (Jahresabschluss) according to section 42 German Limited Liability Companies Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung), sections 242, 264 German Commercial Code and in accordance with sections 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act (as applicable at the time of enforcement)) (the "Net Assets") to be less than its registered share capital (Stammkapital) (Begründung einer Unterbilanz); or

(ii)(if such German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) Net Assets are already less than its registered share capital) the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) Net Assets to be further reduced (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz)

(in each case a "Capital Impairment").

(b)For the purposes of the calculation of the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) Net Assets:

(i)the amount of any increase of the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) registered share capital that has been effected without the prior written consent of any Agent or is otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deducted from the registered share capital;

(ii)any obligations of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner) towards any of the Borrowers or any of their affiliates which are subordinated in accordance with section 39 para. 1 no. 5 German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung), shall be disregarded; and

(iii)loans and other liabilities incurred by the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, by its general partner)

224

in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be disregarded.

(c)The German Guarantor shall deliver to the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt from the Agent of a notice stating that the Agent intends to enforce the Guaranteed Obligations an up-to-date balance sheet of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner) together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Agent) of the amount of the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) Net Assets taking into account the adjustments set forth in paragraph (b) above (the "Management Determination"). Any Agent shall be entitled to enforce the Guaranteed Obligations in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not cause a Capital Impairment of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner).

(d)Following the relevant Agent's receipt of the Management Determination, upon request by the relevant Agent, the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) shall deliver to the respective Agent within thirty (30) Business Days of request an up-to-date balance sheet of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner's) drawn up by the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) auditor together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the respective Agent) of the amount of the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) Net Assets taking into account the adjustments set forth in paragraph (b) above (the "Auditor's Determination"). Such balance sheet and Auditor's Determination shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied. Each Agent shall be entitled to enforce the Guaranteed Obligations in an amount which would, in accordance with the Auditor's Determination, not cause a Capital Impairment of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner's).

(e)If as a result of the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations its Net Assets would be reduced below the amount of its registered share capital, the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) shall without undue delay (unverzüglich) bearing in mind the legitimate interests of the Secured Parties after its receipt of a written request by the respective Agent realise, to the extent legally permitted, any and all of its assets shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is materially lower than the market value of such asset(s) and that are not required for the business of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, of its general partner's) (nicht betriebsnotwendig).

After the realisation of such asset(s) the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) shall, within five (5) Business Days, notify the respective Agent of the amount of the proceeds from the sale and submit a statement with a new calculation of the amount of the Net Assets taking into account such proceeds. Such calculation shall, upon the relevant Agent's request, be confirmed by the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) auditor within a period of twenty (20) Business Days following the request.

225

(i)if the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) has not complied with its obligations pursuant to paragraphs (c) through (e) above;

(ii)when, at the time of enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations, the restrictions under paragraph (a) above are, due to a change of the applicable laws, the interpretation thereof or otherwise, not required to protect the managing directors of the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) or of any of its direct or indirect shareholders from the risk of personal liability;

(iii)if the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) has a fully recoverable recourse claim (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch);

(iv)if and so long it is party to a domination and/or profit and loss pooling agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) or a chain of domination and/or profit and loss pooling agreements as a dominated or profit distributing entity with its shareholder or with any of its shareholder's affiliated companies within the meaning of section 15 German Stock Corporation Act whose obligations are secured (other than the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) subsidiaries) as dominating or profit receiving entity, on the date of the enforcement, provided that the Administrative Agent provides evidence that the mere existence of such domination and/or profit and loss pooling agreement on such date is sufficient to suspend the restrictions imposed by sections 30, 31 German Limited Liability Companies Act; including, in particular, that it is not required for such suspension that the relevant German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) has a fully recoverable recourse claim (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) against any such dominating or profit receiving entity; or

(v)to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations secure any Loans that are on-lent by the relevant Borrower to the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner)(or any of its subsidiaries) and have not yet been repaid by the German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) (or its subsidiaries) prior to the time of the intended enforcement.

(g)No limitation of enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the above limitations will prejudice the rights of any Agent to continue enforcing the Guaranteed Obligations (subject always to the operation of the limitation set out above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.

226

(h)The maximum amount payable by a German Guarantor existing in the form of a German limited liability company (GmbH) or a limited liability partnership with a limited liability company as partner (GmbH & Co. KG) under this Article X shall be limited to the extent such German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner), as a consequence of the payment, would become unable to pay its other debts as they due (zahlungsunfähig) within the meaning of section 64 sentence 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act (the "Liquidity Impairment") and this payment were to result in personal liability of the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) managing directors (Geschäftsführer) pursuant to section 64 sentence 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act, it being understood that as of the date of this Agreement the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) managing directors do not foresee any enforcement under this Article X. In respect of such Liquidity Impairment, the following shall apply:

(i)for the purpose of establishing whether a Liquidity Impairment would occur, the following payments and claims shall be disregarded, unless otherwise agreed with the Administrative Agent: (x) payments made by the relevant German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) after the Administrative Agent has notified such German Guarantor of its intention to enforce this Article X (the "Demand") that are not due at the time of the payment; and (y) any claims (and payment in this respect) towards any of the Borrowers or any of their affiliates which are subordinated in accordance with section 39 para. 1 no. 5 German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung);

(ii)the limitations set forth in this paragraph (h) shall only apply if the respective German Guarantor, within 10 (ten) Business Days following the Demand, confirms in writing to the Administrative Agent to what extent the enforcement of this Article X were to result in a Liquidity Impairment (the "Management Liquidity Impairment Determination") and provides the Administrative Agent with each of the following: (x) a liquidity schedule providing for the preceding 12 months and for the 12 subsequent months showing the liquidity requirements of such German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) and to what extent the enforcement of the relevant Guaranteed Obligations would affect its ability to make payments (Liquiditätsplan); (y) a payment schedule which sets out when and in which amounts instalment payments can be made in respect of the relevant Guaranteed Obligations, and (z) evidence to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that all acceptable (zumutbare) measures have been taken or will promptly (unverzüglich) be taken in order to increase the respective German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) liquidity;

(iii)if the Administrative Agent disagrees with such Management Liquidity Impairment Determination, the relevant German Guarantor shall, within 15 (fifteen) Business Days following a

227

respective request by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent a written auditors' confirmation determining the amount that would have been necessary on the date of the Demand to prevent the occurrence of a Liquidity Impairment (the “Auditor’s Liquidity Impairment Determination”). Each relevant German Guarantor (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner) shall render any and all reasonable assistance requested by the auditors for the purposes of facilitating the Auditors’ Liquidity Impairment Determination and shall allow full access to and inspection of its books and any other necessary documents; the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce this Article X without further court ruling up to the amount determined by the Management Liquidity Impairment Determination or, if disputed, up to the amount determined by the Auditor's Liquidity Impairment Determination; and

(iv)the aforementioned restriction does not apply, if the Administrative Agent has not been provided with (i) a Management Liquidity Impairment Determination within ten (10) Business Days from Demand, or (ii), if disputed, with an Auditor's Liquidity Impairment Determination within fifteen (15) Business Days of the respective request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Credit Party shall be entitled to further pursue in court their claims under this Article X against the relevant German Guarantor in excess of the amounts determined by way of a Management Liquidity Impairment Determination or an Auditor's Liquidity Impairment Determination, in particular, but not limited to, by claiming in court that demanding payment under this Article X against the German Guarantor does not result in personal liability of the German Guarantor's (or in the case of a GmbH & Co. KG, its general partner's) managing directors (Geschäftsführer) pursuant to section 64 sentence 3 German Limited Liability Companies Act.

(i)The limitations set forth in this Section 10.14 shall apply on the Parallel Debt accordingly, if and to the extent relating to a German Loan Party in the form of a German limited liability company (GmbH) or a limited liability partnership with a limited liability company as partner (GmbH & Co. KG).

(j)No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Article X or under the Parallel Debt in accordance with the above limitations will prejudice the rights of any Credit Party to continue to enforce its claims under Article X or under the Parallel Debt (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth above at the time of such enforcement) until full satisfaction of the respective secured claims.

Section 10.15 Spanish Guarantee Limitations.

(a)The obligations and liabilities of any Spanish Guarantor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Spanish Borrower) under the Loan Documents shall never result in a breach of the Financial Assistance obligations contained and described in detail under Section 5.17 of this Agreement.

228

(b)For the purposes of Article 135 of the Spanish Insolveny Law, each Spanish Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the scope and provisions of its respective obligations under the Loan Documents and in particular under this Article X will not be affected by the fact that any of the International Secured Parties may vote in favor of: (i) the approval or ratification of a composition agreement ("convenio") as a result of the bankruptcy declaration ("concurso") of a Spanish Borrower or a Spanish Guarantor, in accordance with article 135.2 of the Spanish Insolvency Law; or (ii) the approval or execution of a court-sanctioned out-of-court workout (an homologated refinancing agreement (“acuerdo de refinanciación homologado”)) and which may be entered into as a result of a pre-insolvency or insolvency of a Spanish Borrower or a Spanish Guarantor (in any case, prior to the declaration of insolvency, whether voluntary or mandatory), under paragraph 9 of the 4^th Additional Provision (“Disposición Adicional Cuarta”) of the Spanish Insolvency Law Accordingly, each and any of the obligations of a Spanish Guarantor under the Loan Documents (particularly under this Article X) shall remain exactly within the terms stated herein irrespective of whether or not any International Secured Party votes in favor of the approval or ratification of a composition agreement ("convenio"), or a court-sanctioned out-of-court workout (an homologated refinancing agreement (“acuerdo de refinanciación homologado”)).

Section 10.16 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of a Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.16 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.16 or otherwise under this Loan Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.16 shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of all Swap Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.16 constitute, and this Section 10.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no European Guarantor or Canadian Guarantor shall guarantee or otherwise be liable for Swap Obligations of a U.S. Loan Party.
