(b) Subject to Section 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised (i) in the case of Borrowings (other than a Swingline Loan) denominated in US Dollars, entirely of ABR Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance herewith, and (ii) in the case of Borrowings denominated in any other currency, entirely of Eurocurrency Loans.

Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of six Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding.

Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be made by hand delivery or facsimile to the Applicable Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Applicable Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower (or, in the case of any Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, by telephone notification, confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the applicable Borrower). Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(b) the aggregate amount and currency of the requested Borrowing;

(d) if denominated in US Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

If no currency is specified with respect to any requested European Tranche Revolving Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected US Dollars.

If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

Unless any Revolving Lender shall inform the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days (or, in the case of any such Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary, 15 Business Days) of the receipt of such notice that it is unlawful for such Revolving Lender to extend credit to such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement (it being acknowledged that, in the event that Parent so designates TripAdvisor Limited, Holiday Lettings (Holdings) Limited or Holiday Letting Limited (each a Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a organized in the United Kingdom), no Lender is aware of any circumstance that would make it unlawful for such Lender to extend credit to any such Subsidiary). Upon the execution by Parent and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to any Borrowing Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder and a party to this Agreement; provided that no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary (other than to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary's right to make further Borrowings under this Agreement) at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary or any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder. Promptly following receipt of any Borrowing Subsidiary Termination, the Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender of the receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans denominated in US Dollars to the Revolving Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding

US$40,000,000, (ii) the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Exposures exceeding the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Commitments or (iii) the aggregate European Tranche Revolving Exposures exceeding the aggregate European Tranche Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Revolving Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from a Revolving Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the applicable Revolving Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of such Revolving Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan requested to be made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the account of the applicable Issuing Bank identified in such notice) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Lenders will be required to participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's Combined Tranche Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender's Combined Tranche Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that, in making any Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of Parent and each Borrowing Subsidiary deemed made pursuant to Section 4.03, unless, at least two Business Days prior to the time such Swingline Loan was made, the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders shall have notified the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03 would not be satisfied if such Swingline Loan were then made (it being understood and agreed that, in the event the Swingline Lender shall have received any such notice, it shall have no obligation to make any Swingline Loan until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist). Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and

unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, 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 pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Revolving Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from a Revolving Borrower (or other Person on behalf of a Revolving Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to a Revolving Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve a Revolving Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. 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 a Revolving Borrower to, or entered into by a Revolving Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. On and after the Effective Date, the Existing Letters of Credit will, for all purposes of this Agreement (including paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section), be deemed to have been issued hereunder on the Effective Date and will, for all purposes of this Agreement, constitute Letters of Credit.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, other than an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section), the applicable Revolving Borrower shall deliver by hand or facsimile transmission (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the recipient of such notice) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed

or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be denominated (which shall be US Dollars or an Alternative Currency), the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to enable the applicable Issuing Bank to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the applicable Revolving Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any such request. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit the applicable Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed US$40,000,000, (ii) the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate US Tranche Revolving Commitments, (iii) the aggregate European Tranche Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate European Tranche Revolving Commitments and (iv) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date 18 months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, 13 months after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the applicable Revolving Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 13 months (but not to a date later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(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 the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender's Combined Tranche Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender's Combined Tranche Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment in respect of an LC Disbursement required to be refunded to a Revolving Borrower for any reason. Such payment by the Revolving Lenders shall be made (i) if the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment shall be US Dollars, then in the currency of such LC Disbursement and (ii) subject to

paragraph (l) of this Section, if the currency of the applicable LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment shall be an Alternative Currency, in US Dollars in an amount equal to the US Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement or reimbursement payment, calculated by the Administrative Agent using the LC Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph 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, the occurrence and continuance of a Default, any reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments or any fluctuation in currency values, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender further acknowledges and agrees that, in issuing, amending, renewing or extending any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the representation and warranty of Parent and the Borrowing Subsidiaries deemed made pursuant to Section 4.03, unless, at least two Business Days prior to the time such Letter of Credit is issued, amended, renewed or extended (or, in the case of an automatic renewal permitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, at least two Business Days prior to the time by which the election not to renew must be made by the applicable Issuing Bank), the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders shall have notified the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in writing that, as a result of one or more events or circumstances described in such notice, one or more of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03 would not be satisfied if such Letter of Credit were then issued, amended, renewed or extended (it being understood and agreed that, in the event any Issuing Bank shall have received any such notice, it shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit until and unless it shall be satisfied that the events and circumstances described in such notice shall have been cured or otherwise shall have ceased to exist).

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Revolving Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in the currency of such LC Disbursement equal to such LC Disbursement not later than (i) if such Revolving Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on any Business Day, then 4:00 p.m., Local Time, on such Business Day or (ii) otherwise, 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Revolving Borrower receives such notice; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is denominated in US Dollars and is not less than US$1,000,000, the applicable Revolving 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 a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Revolving Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the applicable Revolving Borrower fails to make any such reimbursement payment when due, (A) if such payment relates to a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, automatically and with no further action required, the obligation of such Revolving Borrower to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be

permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rate on the applicable LC Participation Calculation Date, of such LC Disbursement and (B) in the case of each LC Disbursement, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the amount of the payment then due from such Revolving Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender's Combined Tranche Percentage thereof, and each Revolving Lender shall pay in US Dollars to the Administrative Agent on the date such notice is received its Combined Tranche Percentage of the payment then due from such Revolving 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 Lenders pursuant to this paragraph), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from a Revolving Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Revolving Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. If the applicable Revolving Borrower's reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in US Dollars, such Revolving Borrower shall pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Revolving Lender.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of each Revolving Borrower to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section is 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, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any term or provision herein or therein, (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) payment by any 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, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Revolving Borrower's obligations hereunder. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or 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, any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), 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 other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to a Revolving Borrower 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 each Revolving Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Revolving Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined in a nonappealable judgment 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 that 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.

(g) 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 Administrative Agent and the applicable Revolving 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 applicable Revolving Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Revolving Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof (determined in accordance with the definition thereof) shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the applicable Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement denominated in US Dollars, and at all times following the conversion to US Dollars of any LC Disbursement made in an Alternative Currency pursuant to paragraph (e) or (l) of this Section, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans and (ii) if such LC Disbursement is made in an Alternative Currency, at all times prior to its conversion to US Dollars pursuant to paragraph (e) or (l) of this Section, at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Bank to be the cost to such Issuing Bank of funding such LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time; provided that, if the applicable Revolving Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.14(c) shall apply. Interest

accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, 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 paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the applicable Revolving Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Parent, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank and execution and delivery by Parent, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank of an Issuing Bank Agreement. 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 Revolving Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.13(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" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, 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 issued by it prior to such replacement (including the right to receive fees under Section 2.13(b)), but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Parent receives notice from the Administrative Agent or a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, each Revolving Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, an amount in US Dollars equal to the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Revolving Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that (i) amounts payable in respect of any Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement shall be payable in the currency of such Letter of Credit or LC Disbursement, except that LC Disbursements in an Alternative Currency in respect of which the applicable Revolving Borrower's reimbursement obligations have been converted to obligations in US Dollars as provided in paragraph (e) or (l) of this Section and interest accrued thereon shall be payable in US Dollars, and (ii) 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 Revolving Borrower or any Material Subsidiary described in Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i). The Revolving Borrowers shall also deposit cash collateral in US Dollars in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.21. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the applicable Revolving Borrower under this

Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be in Permitted Investments and shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the applicable Revolving Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the applicable Revolving Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of (A) a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders and (B) in the case of any such application at a time when any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the total LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders), the consent of each Issuing Bank), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If a Revolving 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 Revolving Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Revolving Borrowers provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.21, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Revolving Borrowers, upon request of the Revolving Borrowers, to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(k) Issuing Bank Reports. 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) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currency and aggregate face 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 amount thereof shall have changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not effect any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that such increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date, currency and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which a Revolving 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 currency and amount of such LC Disbursement and (iv) 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.

(l) Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Section 7.01, all amounts (i) that the Revolving Borrowers are at the time or become thereafter required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, (ii) that the Revolving Lenders are at the time or become thereafter required to pay to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent is at the time or becomes thereafter required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank) pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency and (iii) of each Revolving Lender's participation in any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the US Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the LC Exchange Rate on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender in respect of the obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in US Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

(m) Communications with Beneficiaries. Each Issuing Bank shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice to Parent of any formal communication by such Issuing Bank with any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank with respect thereto, other than any such communication in the ordinary course of business or otherwise in accordance with the standard operating procedures of such Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Applicable Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Applicable Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower maintained with the Applicable Agent or its Affiliates and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Applicable Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Applicable Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon,

for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Applicable Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, (A) if denominated in US Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) if denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, (A) if denominated in US Dollars, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans of the applicable Class and (B) if denominated in an Alternative Currency, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan. 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 and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the applicable Borrower may elect to convert any such Borrowing denominated in US Dollars to a different Type or to continue any such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The applicable Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent of such election by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type, and in the currency, resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be made by hand delivery or facsimile to the Applicable Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Applicable Agent and signed by such Borrower (or, in the case of any Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, by telephone notification, confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by such Borrower). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrower shall be permitted to change the currency of any Borrowing or to convert any Borrowing to a Type not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing was made.

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

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies 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;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

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

(e) If a Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then such Borrowing (i) if such Borrowing is denominated in US Dollars, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of such Interest Period and (ii) if such Borrowing is denominated in an Alternative Currency, shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency with an Interest Period of one month's duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of a Majority in Interest of Lenders of any Class, has notified the applicable Borrower of the election to give effect to this sentence on account of such Event of Default, then, in each such case, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (A) in the case of Borrowings denominated in US Dollars, no outstanding Borrowing of such Class may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing of such Class shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) in the case of Borrowings denominated in Alternative Currencies, unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such currency shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month's duration.

SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase of Revolving Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 pm, New York City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date; provided that all the Commitments shall terminate at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on January 31, 2012, if the Effective Date shall not have occurred prior to such time.

(b) Parent may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple for US Dollar denominated Loans and not less than the Borrowing Minimum for US Dollar denominated Loans and (ii) Parent shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the US Tranche Revolving Exposure would exceed the total US Tranche Revolving Commitments or the European Tranche Revolving Exposure would exceed the total European Tranche Revolving Commitments.

(c) Parent shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) 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 such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Parent pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments of any Class delivered by Parent may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by Parent (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

(d) Parent may from time to time request increases in the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments under either Tranche pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph.

(i) Parent may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly forward such notice to each Revolving Lender under the applicable Tranche), request (A) that the total Revolving Commitments under either Tranche be increased (a "Commitment Increase") by an amount for each increased Tranche of not less than US$25,000,000 and (B) at the election of Parent, that simultaneous decreases in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section (each, a "Commitment Decrease") be made to the Revolving Commitments under the other Tranche; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases effected pursuant to this paragraph, when taken together with the aggregate amount of new commitments established under Section 9.02(c), exceed the aggregate amount of Commitment Decreases effected pursuant to this paragraph by more than US$100,000,000. Each such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested Commitment Increase (and Commitment Decrease, as applicable) in each Tranche, and the date on which such adjustment is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days or more than 30 days after the date of such notice). Parent may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity being called an

"Augmenting Lender" with respect to such Tranche), which may include any Revolving Lender under either Tranche (each Revolving Lender so agreeing being an "Increasing Lender" with respect to such Tranche, and each Revolving Lender so declining being a "Non-Increasing Lender" with respect to such Tranche), to extend Revolving Commitments under the applicable Tranche or, in the case of any Revolving Lender, increase its Revolving Commitment under the applicable Tranche in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of the requested Commitment Increase under such Tranche; provided that each Augmenting Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Revolving Borrowers and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Revolving Commitment of such Augmenting Lender under the applicable Tranche and/or its status as a Lender hereunder. Any Commitment Increase under any Tranche may be made in an amount less than the Commitment Increase requested by Parent if Parent is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Lenders and Increasing Lenders. Not less than three Business Days prior to the effective date (the "Increase Effective Date") of any Commitment Increase under any Tranche pursuant to this Section 2.09(d), Parent shall by written notice to the Administrative Agent confirm the Commitment Decreases, if any, to be made to the Revolving Commitments under the other Tranches specified in the original notice given in respect of the proposed adjustments or shall specify the Commitment Decreases, if any, to be made in lieu thereof.

(ii) On the Increase Effective Date, (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding under each Tranche under which a Commitment Increase will become effective (the "Initial Loans" under such Tranche) immediately prior to giving effect to the applicable Commitment Increase on the Increase Effective Date shall be deemed to be repaid, (B) after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, the Revolving Borrowers holding Revolving Commitments under such Tranche shall be deemed to have made new Revolving Borrowings (the "Subsequent Borrowings") in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans under such Tranche and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03, (C) each Revolving Lender under such Tranche shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (1) such Lender's applicable Tranche Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Subsequent Borrowings and (2) such Lender's applicable Tranche Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Initial Loans, (D) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clause (C) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Revolving Lender under such Tranche the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference, if positive, between (1) such Lender's applicable Tranche Percentage (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the Initial Loans and (2) such Lender's applicable Tranche

Percentage (calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings, (E) each Non-Increasing Lender, each Increasing Lender and each Augmenting Lender shall be deemed to hold its applicable Tranche Percentage of each Subsequent Borrowing (each calculated after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) and (F) each applicable Borrower shall pay each Increasing Lender and each Non-Increasing Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Initial Loans. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (A) above in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.17 if the Increase Effective Date occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto and breakage costs result.

(iii) On the Increase Effective Date, each Commitment Decrease specified in the notice by Parent pursuant to paragraph (d)(i) above (as adjusted pursuant to the last sentence of such paragraph) shall be made ratably among the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments under the decreasing Tranche in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under such Tranche.

(iv) Commitment Increases, Commitment Decreases and new Revolving Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) shall become effective on the date specified in the original notice delivered by Parent pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (d)(i) above.

(v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments under any Tranche (or in any Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender) or addition of an Augmenting Lender shall become effective under this Section unless (A) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Sections 4.03(a) and 4.03(b) shall be satisfied (without giving effect to the parenthetical in Section 4.03(a), but, in each case, deeming all references therein to the date, time or effect of a Borrowing (or an issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit) to refer to the date, time and effect of such increase) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of Parent and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Lenders) documents consistent with those delivered pursuant to Section 4.04(c) in connection with the designation of a new Borrowing Subsidiary as to the corporate power and authority of the applicable Revolving Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Applicable Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender outstanding to such Borrower on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) in the case of the Term Borrower, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11 and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan outstanding to such Borrower on the earlier of the

Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing denominated in US Dollars is made, each Revolving Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding to such Revolving Borrower, if any, and may use all or a portion of the proceeds of such Revolving Borrowing to fund such repayment. The Borrowers will repay the principal amount of each Loan and the accrued interest thereon in the currency in which such Loan is denominated.

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

(c) The Agents shall maintain accounts in which they shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agents hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it (including the interests and obligations of such Lender after giving effect to the CAM Exchange) be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each applicable Borrower 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 2.11. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) The Term Borrower shall repay Term Borrowings on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (commencing with March 31, 2012) (the payment made on each such date being called an "Installment") in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite the number of such Installment below:


Installment	Amount
1-4	US$	5,000,000
5-19	US$	10,000,000

Any prepayment of Term Borrowings (it being understood that an amortization repayment pursuant to this paragraph (a) is not a prepayment) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent Installments to be made pursuant to this Section in the manner specified by the Term Borrower in the notice of such prepayment (or, if not so specified, in the direct order of maturity).

(b) To the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(c) Any repayment of Term Borrowings under this Section shall be applied to such Term Borrowings as the Term Borrower shall select by notifying the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that, in the absence of any such notification, such repayment shall be applied, first, towards one or more ABR Term Borrowings outstanding at such time (and, as between such Term Borrowings, in the manner determined by the Administrative Agent), and, second, upon repayment in full of all such ABR Term Borrowings, towards one or more Eurocurrency Term Borrowing outstanding at such time (and, as between such Term Borrowings, to the Term Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period prior to the application to any other such Term Borrowing). Each repayment of a Term Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Term Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amounts repaid.

SECTION 2.12. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without any premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.17) subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures under any Tranche exceeds the sum of the Revolving Commitments under such Tranche, the Revolving Borrowers shall not later than the next Business Day prepay Revolving Borrowings under the applicable Tranche in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, and in the event that after such prepayment of Revolving Borrowings any such excess shall remain, the Revolving Borrowers shall deposit with the Administrative Agent cash in US Dollars in an amount equal to such excess as collateral for the reimbursement obligations of the Revolving Borrowers in respect of Letters of Credit under such Tranche; provided that if such excess results from a change in currency exchange rates, such prepayment and deposit shall be required to be made not later than the fifth Business Day after the day on which the Administrative Agent shall have given Parent notice of such excess. Any cash so deposited (and any cash previously deposited pursuant to this paragraph) with the Administrative Agent shall be held in an account over which the Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control, including exclusive rights of withdrawal. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investment shall be in Permitted Investments and shall be made in the

discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Revolving Borrowers' risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for the portion of LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed that is allocable to such Tranche and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Revolving Borrowers for the LC Exposure allocable to such Tranche at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Majority in Interest of Lenders under such Tranche), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Revolving Borrowers have provided cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph to secure the reimbursement obligations of the Revolving Borrowers in respect of Letters of Credit, then, so long as no Event of Default shall exist, such cash collateral shall be released to the Revolving Borrowers if so requested by Parent at any time if and to the extent that, after giving effect to such release, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposures under the applicable Tranche would not exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments under such Tranche. Prepayments made under this paragraph shall be without any premium or penalty (but shall be subject to Section 2.17).

(c) The applicable Borrower shall notify the Applicable Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment under this Section (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, four Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment; provided that in the case of any prepayment required to be made within one Business Day under paragraph (b) of this Section the applicable Borrower will give such notice as soon as practicable. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to any Borrowing (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Class, Type and in the same currency as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.14.

SECTION 2.13. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitments of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to

but excluding the date on which the last of such Revolving Commitments terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments of any Class terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender under any Tranche shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender under such Tranche (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose prior to the acquisition by such Lender of a participation therein pursuant to Section 2.05(c)).

(b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Revolving Commitments terminate and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and such Issuing Bank on the daily LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank is reduced to zero and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender an interim commitment fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.20% per annum on the aggregate amount of the Commitments of such Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the earliest of (such date being referred to as the "Interim Commitment Fee Period End Date") (i) the Effective Date, (ii) the date on which the last of such Revolving Commitments terminates and (iii) December 31, 2011. Accrued interim commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the Interim Commitment Fee Period End Date. All interim commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(d) The Borrowers agree to pay on the Effective Date to each Lender, as fee compensation for such Lender's Commitments, an upfront fee at the rate heretofore communicated to the Lenders by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on the aggregate amount of such Lender's Commitments as of the Effective Date (and prior to any funding thereunder).

(e) In the event the Effective Date does not occur on or prior to December 31, 2011, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a ticking fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.30% per annum on the daily amount of the Commitments of such Lender during the period from and including December 31, 2011 to but excluding the earlier (such date being referred to as the "Ticking Fee Period End Date") of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date on which the last of such Commitments terminates. Accrued ticking fees shall be payable in arrears on the Ticking Fee Period End Date. All ticking fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(f) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers (or any of them) and the Administrative Agent.

(g) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Banks, in the case of fees payable to them) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, interim commitment fees, participation fees, upfront fees and ticking fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.14. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest (i) in the case of any such Borrowing denominated in US Dollars or Sterling, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate and (ii) in the case of any such Borrowing denominated in Euro, at the Adjusted EURIBO Rate, in each case for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing, plus, in each case, the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans of any Class, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments of such Class; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. All interest shall be payable in the currency in which the applicable Loan is denominated.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that (i) interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and (ii) interest on Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, in the case of clause (i) above, 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted EURIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.15. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing of any Class:

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

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted EURIBO Rate for such Interest Period 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 Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to Parent and the Lenders of such Class by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies Parent and the Lenders of such Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing of such Class to, or continuation of any Borrowing of such Class as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, and, unless repaid, such Borrowing shall, if denominated in US Dollars, be made as an ABR Borrowing or, if denominated in an Alternative Currency, bear interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the

affected Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall, if denominated in US Dollars, be made as an ABR Borrowing or, if denominated in an Alternative Currency, bear interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent shall determine adequately and fairly reflects the cost to the affected Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

SECTION 2.16. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted EURIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market or European interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or such 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 such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts have been determined, delivered to Parent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender's or such Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) If a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any amount as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the events giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or such Issuing Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that each Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its accounting records (or any other information which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.16 (i) shall not entitle any Recipient to compensation in respect of any Excluded Taxes, (ii) shall not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes imposed on payments by or on account of any obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any Loan Document or (B) Other Taxes, it being understood that such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes shall be governed by Section 2.18(a), and (iii) shall not relieve any Lender or Issuing Bank of any obligation pursuant to Section 2.18(d), 2.18(f) or 2.18(g).

SECTION 2.17. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency 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 Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.12(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.20 or the CAM Exchange, 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 Eurocurrency 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 that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted EURIBO Rate, as the case may be, 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 that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. The Borrowers shall also compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to any failure by a Borrower to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered to Parent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 20 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.18. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Borrower or other Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Borrower or other Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient within 20 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by such Recipient, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Parent by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, within 20 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (but, in the case of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties have not already indemnified such Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by such Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any amounts for which such Agent has been reimbursed by the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. In addition, each Lender shall severally indemnify the applicable Borrower for any Taxes paid or payable by such Borrower (and not deducted or withheld by such Borrower from any payment otherwise due hereunder to such Lender) as a result of the failure of such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(f). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the applicable Lender by an Agent or the applicable Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from contesting the applicability of any Taxes that it believes to have been incorrectly or illegally imposed or asserted by any Governmental Authority; provided that no such contest shall suspend the obligation of any Lender to pay amounts due to the Agents or the applicable Borrower as provided in the first and second sentences of this paragraph.

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

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which an applicable Borrower or any other applicable Loan Party is located, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower or such other Loan Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times

prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or such other Loan Party, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or such other Loan Party as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by an applicable Borrower or any other applicable Loan Party, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or such other Loan Party as will enable such Borrower or such other Loan Party to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) by such Borrower or such other Loan Party or any information reporting requirements by such Borrower or such other Loan Party. In the case of an applicable Borrower or any other applicable Loan Party that, in each case, is a US Person or resident in the United Kingdom for United Kingdom tax purposes, (A) upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or such other Loan Party, or of the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.18(f) and (B) if any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.18(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 such Borrower or such other Loan Party and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an applicable Borrower or any other applicable Loan Party that, in each case, is not a US Person or resident in the United Kingdom for United Kingdom tax purposes, the applicable Lender will not be subject to the requirements of this paragraph (f)(i) unless it has received written notice from such Borrower or such other Loan Party advising it of the availability of an exemption or reduction of withholding Tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Borrower or such other Loan Party is located and containing all applicable documentation (together, if requested by such Lender, with a certified English translation thereof) required to be completed by such Lender in order to receive any such exemption or reduction, and such Lender is reasonably satisfied that it is legally able to provide such documentation to such Borrower or such other Loan Party.

(ii) In furtherance of, and subject to the limitation set forth in, paragraph (f)(i) above, if an applicable Borrower is a US Person, any Lender (or if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for US Federal income Tax purposes, its sole owner) with respect to such Borrower (or if an applicable other Loan Party is a US Person, any Lender (or, in the circumstances referred to above, its sole owner) that is a recipient of payment from such other Loan Party) shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such Borrower (or such other Loan Party) and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by such Borrower (or such other Loan Party) and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such Borrower (or such other Loan Party) or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) IRS Form W-9 certifying exemption from US Federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, US Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, US Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

(D) both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F to the effect that such Lender (or if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for US Federal income Tax purposes, its sole owner) is not (w) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (x) a "10 percent shareholder" of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (y) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (z) conducting a trade or business in the United States of America with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) (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 paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each beneficial owner or partner if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided 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 certificate described in Section 2.18(f)(ii)(D) on behalf of such partners; or

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

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to US 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 an applicable Borrower or an applicable other Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Borrower or such other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law

(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or such other Loan Party or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower or such other Loan Party or the Applicable 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 2.18(f)(iii), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) (i) Subject to paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below, each UK Borrower shall, at the request of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, cooperate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such Lender to receive payments under this Agreement and any other Loan Document without withholding or deduction on account of Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

(ii) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax on interest under any applicable double taxation treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party, and that holds a passport number under the HMRC Double Taxation Passport scheme and wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall include an indication to that effect by including the scheme reference number in such Lender's Administrative Questionnaire (or otherwise provide the scheme reference number to the Administrative Agent and Parent, for the benefit of each UK Borrower).

(iii) Without limiting paragraph (g)(i) above, where a Lender includes the indication described in (g)(ii) above, each UK Borrower shall file a duly completed form DTTP-2 with respect to each such Lender with HMRC within 30 days of the date such UK Borrower becomes a Borrowing Subsidiary (or, in the case of any Lender becoming a Lender hereunder after the date such UK Borrower becomes a Borrowing Subsidiary, within 30 days of the date such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder), and in each case shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of that filing.

(h) If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay over such refund or credit to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(i) Issuing Banks. For purposes of Sections 2.18(d), 2.18(f) and 2.18(g), the term "Lender" shall be deemed to include each Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.19. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Applicable Agent to the applicable account specified by it from time to time to Parent for such purpose, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein shall be so made and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Applicable Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) all payments of principal, interest or reimbursement obligations in respect of any Loan or Letter of Credit shall be made in the currency of such Loan or Letter of Credit and (ii) all other payments under each Loan Document (including all fees) shall be made in US Dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Applicable Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other

Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) 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 or Swingline Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to Parent or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). It is acknowledged and agreed that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph reflect an agreement entered into solely among the Lenders (and not any Loan Party) and no consent of any Loan Party shall be required with respect to any action taken by the Lenders pursuant to such provisions. Each Borrower agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each 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, as the case may be, in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Applicable Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Applicable Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or 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) if such amount is denominated in US Dollars, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (B) if such amount is denominated in an Alternative Currency, a rate determined by the Applicable Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, then each 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 in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged or (ii) hold any such amounts in a

segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to Sections 2.05(c), 2.06(d), 2.06(e), 2.07(b), 2.19(d) and 9.03(c), in each case in such order as shall be determined by such Agent in its discretion.

(f) In the event that any financial statements delivered under Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), or any certificate delivered under Section 5.01(c), shall prove to have been materially inaccurate, and such inaccuracy shall have resulted in the payment of any interest or fees at rates lower than those that were in fact applicable for any period (based on the actual Leverage Ratio), then, if such inaccuracy is discovered prior to the termination of the Commitments and the repayment in full of the principal of all Loans and the reduction of the LC Exposure to zero, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Lender, the accrued interest or fees that should have been paid to such Lender but were not paid as a result of such misstatement.

SECTION 2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iv) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed waiver, amendment or other modification that under Section 9.02 requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or all the Lenders of an affected Class) and with respect to which the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where Section 9.02 requires the consent of all of the Lenders of an affected Class, a Majority in Interest of the Lenders of the affected Class) shall have granted their consent, then Parent may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a failure to provide a consent as a Lender of an affected Class, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of such affected Class) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Parent shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any assignment that would require consent

of any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under Section 9.04, the consent of such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and, if applicable, participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or a Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the failure to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and any contemporaneous assignments and consents, the applicable waiver, amendment or other modification can be effected. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Parent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by Parent, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if one or more Revolving Lenders become Defaulting Lenders, then, upon notice to such effect by the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be given promptly after the Administrative Agent becomes aware that any Revolving Lender shall have become a Defaulting Lender, including as a result of being advised thereof by the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Borrower) (such notice being referred to as a "Defaulting Lender Notice"), the following provisions shall apply for so long as any such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) no commitment fee shall accrue on the unused amount of any Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a);

(ii) the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposures of each Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded in determining whether the Required Lenders shall have taken any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, however, that any waiver, amendment or other modification that, disregarding the effect of this clause (ii), requires the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, continue to require the consent of each Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;

(iii) if any Swingline Loans are outstanding or any LC Exposure exists at the time any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender (each such Swingline Loan being referred to as a "Reallocated Swingline Loan", and each Letter of Credit to which such LC Exposure is attributable being referred to as a "Reallocated Letter of Credit"), then:

(A) subject to clause (C) below, the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to purchase participations in each Reallocated Swingline Loan under Section 2.05(c) shall be adjusted to be determined on the basis of such Lender's Adjusted Combined Tranche Percentage;

(B) subject to clause (C) below, the participation of each Non-Defaulting Lender in each Reallocated Letter of Credit shall be adjusted to be determined under Section 2.06(d) on the basis of such Lender's Adjusted Combined Tranche Percentage;

(1) if any Revolving Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender shall be the Swingline Lender or an Affiliate thereof, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to clause (A) above on account of such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender;

(2) if any Revolving Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender shall be an Issuing Bank or an Affiliate thereof, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to clause (B) above with respect to participations in any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; and

(3) if the sum of (x) all the Defaulting Lenders' Combined Tranche Percentages of the aggregate principal amount of the Reallocated Swingline Loans (the "Defaulting Lender Swingline Exposures") and (y) all the Defaulting Lenders' Combined Tranche Percentages of the LC Exposure attributable to the Reallocated Letters of Credit (the "Defaulting Lender LC Exposures" and, together with the Defaulting Lender Swingline Exposures, the "Defaulting Lender LC/Swingline Exposures") exceeds the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders as of the time the adjustments are to be made pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) above (the aggregate amount of such Revolving Commitments being referred to as the "Maximum Incremental Participations Amount"), then, but only if the conditions set forth in Sections 4.03(a) and 4.03(b) shall be satisfied at the time of such reallocation (in each case, deeming all references therein to the date, time or effect of a Borrowing (or an issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit) to refer to the date, time and effect of such reallocation), (I) the incremental amount of participations acquired by the Non-Defaulting Lenders under clause (A) above (the "Incremental Swingline Participations") shall not exceed at any time the Maximum Incremental Participations Amount multiplied by a

fraction of which the numerator is the Defaulting Lender Swingline Exposure at such time and the denominator is the Defaulting Lender LC/Swingline Exposure at such time and (II) the incremental amount of participations acquired by the Non-Defaulting Lenders under clause (B) above (the "Incremental LC Participations" and, together with the Incremental Swingline Participations, the "Incremental LC/Swingline Participations") shall not exceed at any time the Maximum Incremental Participations Amount multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the portion of the Defaulting Lender LC Exposure at such time and the denominator is the Defaulting Lender LC/Swingline Exposure at such time;

(D) if the reallocation of the Defaulting Lender LC/Swingline Exposure has not been made, or has not been made in full, as contemplated by clause (C)(3) above as a result of the circumstances described in clause (C)(3) above, then the Borrowers shall, within one Business Day after receipt of written notice to that effect from the Administrative Agent, (1) first, prepay the Reallocated Swingline Loans and (2) second, cash collateralize the Reallocated Letters of Credit (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) or otherwise in a manner and under documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) in an aggregate amount equal to the portion of the Defaulting Lender LC/Swingline Exposure that has not been so reallocated;

(E) if any Reallocated Letter of Credit shall have been cash collateralized by the Borrowers pursuant to clause (D) above, then the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any letter of credit participation fees to the Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(b) with respect to the portion of such Reallocated Letter of Credit that is so cash collateralized;

(F) if an adjustment shall have been made pursuant to clause (B) above to the participations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in Reallocated Letters of Credit, then the letter of credit participation fees that would otherwise have been payable to the Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(b) with respect to the portion of such Reallocated Letters of Credit equal to the Incremental LC Participations therein shall instead accrue for the accounts of, and be payable to, the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Adjusted Combined Tranche Percentages;

(G) if the Defaulting Lender LC Exposure at any time shall exceed the sum of the Incremental LC Participations at such time and the portion of the Reallocated Letters of Credit cash collateralized at such time pursuant to clause (D) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Non-Defaulting Lender hereunder,

all letter of credit participation fees payable to the Defaulting Lenders under Section 2.13(b) with respect to the portion of the Defaulting Lender LC Exposure equal to such excess shall instead ratably accrue for the accounts of, and be payable to, the Issuing Banks that shall have issued Reallocated Letters of Credit; and

(H) the Revolving Credit Exposures of each Non-Defaulting Lender shall be determined after giving effect to the Incremental LC/Swingline Participations acquired by such Lender under the foregoing clauses of this clause (iii); and

(iv) in the event any Swingline Loan shall be made, or any Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended to increase the amount thereof, (A) the participations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders therein shall be determined in the manner set forth in clause (iii)(A) or (iii)(B) above, as applicable, as if such Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit shall have been a Reallocated Swingline Loan or a Reallocated Letter of Credit, as the case may be, and (B) letter of credit participation fees that would otherwise have been payable to the Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(b) in respect of any such Letter of Credit shall be subject to clause (iii)(F) above; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loan, and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase the amount of any Letter of Credit, in each case unless it is satisfied that the Defaulting Lenders' Combined Tranche Percentage of such Swingline Loan or of the LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit will be entirely covered by participations therein of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or, in the case of the LC Exposure, cash collateral provided by the Borrowers (in a manner and under documentation satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank).

(b) In the event the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, each Issuing Bank and Parent shall have agreed that a Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, then (i) such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes hereof, (ii) the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations in Swingline Loans under Section 2.05(c) and the participations of the Lenders in Letters of Credit under Section 2.06(d) shall be readjusted to be determined on the basis of the Lenders' Combined Tranche Percentages and (iii) such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for the Revolving Loans to be held by the Lenders in accordance with their Combined Tranche Percentages.

(c) No Commitment of any Revolving Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by the Borrowers of their obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of the operation of this Section. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in

addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers, the Agents, the Swingline Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Non-Defaulting Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender (and, for the avoidance of doubt, each Non-Defaulting Lender shall have a claim against any Defaulting Lender for any losses it may suffer as a result of the operation of this Section).

(b) Each of Parent and the Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, except for intellectual property the failure to own or license which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the use thereof by Parent and the Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of Parent or any Borrowing Subsidiary, threatened in writing against or affecting Parent or any of the Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions; provided that on the Closing Date, Parent and the Borrowing Subsidiaries are making the foregoing representation only with respect to this Agreement.

(b) Except with respect to matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither Parent nor any of the Subsidiaries (i) 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, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis reasonably likely to result in any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.10. 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, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The excess of the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on assumptions used for purposes Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715), if any, over the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. The reports, financial statements, certificates and other written factual information (including the Confidential Information Memorandum) furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), taken as a whole, do not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of the date furnished; provided that (a) with respect to projected financial information, Parent and the Borrowing Subsidiaries represent and warrant only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by them to be reasonable at the time and (b) with respect to the consolidated financial statements of Parent delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), Parent and the Borrowing Subsidiaries represent and warrant only that such financial statements will, when delivered, present fairly in all material respects the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Parent and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the end of and for the periods covered thereby in accordance with GAAP, subject to, in the case of such financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(b), normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

No part of the proceeds of any Loan have been or will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board of Governors, including Regulations T, U and X.

SECTION 3.15. Borrowing Subsidiaries. Each Borrowing Subsidiary is subject to civil and commercial law with respect to its obligations under this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance by such Borrowing Subsidiary of the applicable Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement and this Agreement constitute and will constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts.

Any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agents shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agents are required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the applicable Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02); provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion,

104

could expose such Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agents shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by them or any of their Affiliates in any capacity. The Agents shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the applicable Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by Parent 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 thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent, or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to such Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Agents shall not have any liability arising from any confirmation of any Revolving Credit Exposure or the component amounts thereof or any determination of the Exchange Rate, the LC Exchange Rate or the US Dollar Equivalent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Financial Officer). Each Agent also may rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Financial Officer). Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any Borrower), 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 of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through its respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent or the London Agent, as applicable.

105

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, each Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and Parent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Parent, to appoint a successor. 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 bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 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 and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 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 and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon either Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, 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 and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon either Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and, in the case of any Lender, funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or an Issuing Bank Agreement pursuant to which it shall become a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date or the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Arranger, Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the expense reimbursement and indemnities to the extent provided for hereunder.

II to any Lender or Issuing Bank if such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by either 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 the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, 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 either Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Parent (and, prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Term Borrower) and the Required Lenders, or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are party thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that (i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Parent (and, prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Term Borrower) and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders

108

shall have received at least 10 Business Days' prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within 10 Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (ii) no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than as a result of any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan or LC Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or any change in the definition, or in any components thereof, of the term "Leverage Ratio"), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (C) postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.11, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, or waive, amend or modify Section 7.01(a), without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.19(b) or 2.19(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term "Required 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 (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), (F) release Guarantees representing all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement, or limit the liability of Parent (after the consummation of the Spin-Off) or any Subsidiary Loan Parties in respect of such Guarantees, without the written consent of each Lender, (G) change any provision of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments of Revolving Lenders of any Class differently from Revolving Lenders of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of the adversely affected Class of Revolving Loans, (H) change any provision of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments of Lenders of any Class differently from Lenders of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders representing a Majority in Interest of each adversely affected Class (for purposes of this clause (H), all the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to be Lenders of the same Class) or (I) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.03 or 4.04 without the written consent of the Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders and, in the case of any such waiver affecting one Class of Revolving Lenders but not the other, a Majority in Interest of the Revolving Lenders of such Class (it being understood and agreed that any amendment or waiver of, or any consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement (other than any waiver expressly relating to Section 4.03 or 4.04) or any other Loan Document, including any amendment of any affirmative or negative covenant set forth herein or in any other Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or an Event of Default, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any condition set forth in Section 4.03 or 4.04); provided further that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of either Agent, any Issuing Bank or

109

the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (2) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Classes) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Parent (and, prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Term Borrower) and the requisite percentage in interest of Lenders under each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no consent with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) of clause (ii) of the first proviso of this paragraph and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such amendment, waiver or other modification, and (ii) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Parent (and, prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off, the Term Borrower), the Administrative Agent (and, if their rights or obligations are affected thereby, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender) and the Lenders that will remain parties hereto after giving effect to such amendment if (x) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment, (y) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and (z) after giving effect to such amendment and all contemporaneous repayments of Revolving Loans and reductions of Revolving Commitments, the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures under each Tranche shall not exceed the total Commitments under such Tranche. Any amendment or modification effected in accordance with this paragraph will be binding on each Borrowing Subsidiary whether or not such Borrowing Subsidiary shall have consented thereto.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (b) of this Section to the contrary, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended at any time and from time to time to add a currency or pricing option under any Class of Revolving Commitments or to establish one or more additional Classes of Commitments to be made available to one or more Borrowers, in each case, by an agreement in writing entered into by Parent, such Borrower or Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender under such Class of Revolving Commitments or any Person (including any Lender) that shall have agreed to establish such Commitment of an additional Class (but, in each case, without the consent of any other Lender), and each such Person that is not already a Lender shall, at the time such agreement becomes effective, become a Lender with the same effect as if it had originally been a Lender under this Agreement with the commitment set forth in such agreement; provided that (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the new Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall, when taken together with the net amount (if positive) of Commitment Increases over Commitment Decreases under Section 2.09(d), at no time, without the consent of the Required Lenders, exceed US$100,000,000, (ii) subject to the consent of the Issuing

110

Banks and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, new Classes of revolving commitments established hereunder may participate in the LC Exposure and the Swingline Exposure on the same terms as those applicable to the then existing Classes of Revolving Commitments, (iii) any new Class of revolving commitments established hereunder, and the extensions of credit thereunder, shall not have a scheduled termination or maturity date that is earlier than the Revolving Maturity Date and (iv) any new Class of term commitments established hereunder, and the extensions of credit thereunder, shall not have a scheduled termination or maturity date that is earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date, and such extensions of credit thereunder shall not have weighted average life to maturity that is shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans at the time. Any such agreement establishing new currency or pricing options under any Class of Revolving Commitments or establishing new Commitments shall amend the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to set forth the terms thereof (including the amount and final stated maturity thereof (which shall be subject to clauses (iii) and (iv) above), the interest to accrue and be payable thereon and any fees to be payable in respect thereof) and to effect such other changes (including changes to the provisions of this Section, Section 2.19 and the definition of the term "Required Lenders") as Parent and the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable in connection therewith; provided that no such agreement shall (A) effect any change described in any of clauses (A), (B), (C), (F), (G) and (I) of paragraph (b) of this Section (or clause (1) to the second proviso of paragraph (b) of this Section) without the consent of each Person required to consent to such change under such clause (it being agreed, however, that any establishment of any new Class of Commitments will not, of itself, be deemed to effect a change described in clause (G), (H) or (I) of such paragraph (b) and that such clauses may be changed to reflect the establishment of such Class or Classes); or (B) amend this Agreement to establish any affirmative or negative covenant, Event of Default or remedy that by its terms benefits one or more Classes of Lenders, but not all Classes of Lenders, or provide for any guarantee or security that benefits one or more Classes of Lenders, but not all Classes of Lenders, without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest of Lenders of each Class not so benefited. Any new Class of commitments established pursuant to this paragraph, and loans and borrowings thereunder, shall constitute "Commitments", "Loans" and "Borrowings" under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees created by the Guarantee Agreements. The Borrowers shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Guarantee Requirement continues to be satisfied after the establishment of any such new commitments.

(d) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this Section 9.02 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

111

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for the Agents and, if deemed reasonably necessary by the Agents, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in connection with the arrangement and the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agents (and any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee"), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) the arrangement and the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Parent or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Parent or any of the Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Parent or any Affiliate thereof; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

112

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to either Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for either Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. For purposes hereof, a Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time (or most recently outstanding and in effect).

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, or permit any of their Affiliates or Related Parties to assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) neither Parent nor any Borrowing Subsidiary may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any of them without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Agents and the Related Parties of any of the Agents, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

113

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) Parent; provided that no consent of Parent 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;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for (1) any assignment in respect of the US Tranche to a US Tranche Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender, (2) any assignment in respect of a European Tranche to a European Tranche Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender or (3) any assignment of any Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

(C) each Issuing Bank, in the case of any assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender's obligations in respect of its LC Exposure; and

(D) the Swingline Lender, in the case of any assignment of all or a portion of a Revolving Commitment or any Lender's obligations in respect of its Swingline Exposure.

(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 or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the 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 assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than US$5,000,000 unless each of Parent and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided that no such consent of Parent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

114

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

In addition, in connection with each assignment, the assignee shall deliver to the applicable Borrower all applicable Tax forms required to be delivered by it under Section 2.18(f).

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, 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 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States 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 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 Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

115

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each such bank or other entity, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment of any Class 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 or any other Loan Document; 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 clauses (A) through (F) of the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly affects such Participant and requires the approval of all the Lenders or all the affected Lenders (or all the Lenders or all the affected Lenders of a Class). Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made (A) pursuant to Section 2.19(c) or (B) with Parent's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless Parent is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.18(f) as though it were a Lender.

(iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the 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 (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person

116

except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such 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. For the avoidance of doubt, no Agent (in its capacity as an Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that either Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender or any Affiliate or Related Party of any of the foregoing, may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended thereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that, in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of any Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such Issuing Bank, or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a "Letter of Credit" outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.06(d) or 2.06(e). The provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 2.19(b) and (c), 9.03, 9.09 and 9.10 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 Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

117

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Issuing Banks. 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 and the other Loan Documents 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, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under the Commitment Letter and any commitment advices submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of the Commitment Letter or any fee letter referred to therein (or any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank) that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement). Except as provided in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, 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 that, 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 facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Each financial institution that shall be party to an Issuing Bank Agreement executed by Parent and the Administrative Agent shall be a party to and an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, and shall have all the rights and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder and under its Issuing Bank Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into Issuing Bank Agreements.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other amounts at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or Issuing Bank, or by such an Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations then due of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not

118

such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank, and each Affiliate of any of the foregoing, under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto shall retain the right to bring any such action or proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with the enforcement of any judgment. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

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

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(e) To the extent that any Borrowing Subsidiary has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its Obligations under its Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

119

(f) Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America and are intended to be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of such Act.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, other than, in the case of any such disclosure to a Participant or a prospective Participant, any such Participant or prospective Participant that shall have been identified, or is actually known to the disclosing Person to be an Affiliate of any Person identified, on Schedule 9.12, as such Schedule may be supplemented by Parent from time to time by a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed (x) that Parent (in its reasonable discretion) may only include an additional Person on Schedule 9.12 if such Person is or is an Affiliate of any Person that engages in a business in competition with Parent and/or any of the Subsidiaries and (y) that no Lender shall have any obligation to determine whether any

120

Participant, or any prospective Participant, that is not identified on Schedule 9.12 is an Affiliate of any Person identified on such Schedule) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, other than any such counterparty or prospective counterparty that shall have been identified, or is actually known to the disclosing Person to be an Affiliate of any Person identified, on Schedule 9.12, as such Schedule may be supplemented by Parent from time to time by a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent (it being understood and agreed (x) that Parent (in its reasonable discretion) may only include an additional Person on Schedule 9.12 if such Person is or is an Affiliate of any Person that engages in a business in competition with Parent and/or any of the Subsidiaries and (y) that no Lender shall have any obligation to determine whether any counterparty, or any prospective counterparty, that is not identified on Schedule 9.12 is an Affiliate of any Person identified on such Schedule), (g) with the consent of Parent, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower or (i) to any credit insurance providers. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to either Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by a Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from a Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.13. 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 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 9.14. Release of Guarantees. (a) If Parent shall request the release of the Guarantee of any Subsidiary Loan Party upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) as a result of which such Subsidiary Loan Party (i) ceases to be a Subsidiary or (ii) becomes a Partial Transfer Subsidiary (but, in the case of this clause (ii), only if

121

such Subsidiary Loan Party is not a Guarantor of any other Material Indebtedness of the Company or another Subsidiary) and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer or other executive officer of Parent to the effect that such transaction and, if applicable, the application of the proceeds thereof will comply with the terms of this Agreement (and, in the event clause (ii) is applicable, that the condition set forth in the parenthetical in such clause (ii) is satisfied), the Administrative Agent, if satisfied that the applicable certificate is correct, shall execute and deliver to Parent, at Parent's expense, all documents that Parent shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Guarantees provided under any Guarantee Agreement shall terminate when all the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired, the LC Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit hereunder. In connection with any such termination pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to Parent, at Parent's expense, all documents that Parent shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(c) Any execution and delivery of documents by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.15. Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the "Applicable Creditor") shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 9.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

122

SECTION 9.16. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.17. No Fiduciary Relationship. Parent and each Borrowing Subsidiary, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, Parent, the Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Arrangers, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. Parent and each Borrowing Subsidiary, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, acknowledges that each Agent, Lender and Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of Parent, the Subsidiaries, their equityholders and/or their Affiliates.

SECTION 9.18. Non-Public Information. Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that all information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement by or on behalf of Parent or any Borrowing Subsidiary and relating to Parent, the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses may include material non-public information concerning Parent, the Subsidiaries and their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with such procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

All such information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by Parent, any Borrowing Subsidiary or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information concerning Parent, the Subsidiaries and their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender and Issuing Bank represents to Parent, the Borrowing Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, state and foreign securities laws.

123

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
