CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of July 16, 2010, among PARTNERRE LTD., a company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Company”), the Designated Subsidiary Borrowers (as hereinafter defined) from time to time party hereto, the lenders from time to time party hereto (each, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”) as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in Section 10 are used herein as so defined.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company, certain of the Designated Subsidiary Borrowers, the Existing Lenders and JPMorgan Chase, as Administrative Agent, are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2004 and amended and restated as of September 30, 2005 (as the same has been amended, modified or supplemented to, but not including, the Effective Date, the “Existing Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to refinance the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety in the form of this Agreement, subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Lenders are willing to make available to the Company and the Designated Subsidiary Borrowers the credit facilities provided herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Company, the Designated Subsidiary Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.

1.01 Commitment. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees, at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to one or more of the Borrowers (on a several basis), which Revolving Loans (i) shall be made and maintained in Dollars; (ii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; (iii) except as hereinafter provided, may, at the option of each Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that all Revolving Loans made as part of the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specified herein, consist of Revolving Loans of the same Type; and (iv) shall not exceed in aggregate Principal Amount outstanding at any time either (x) when added to the aggregate Principal Amount of Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding, the Loan Sublimit at such time or (y) when added to the sum of the aggregate Principal Amount of all Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding and all Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, the Total Commitment at such time.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees that one or more Borrowers may (on a several basis) incur a loan or loans (each, a “Competitive Bid Loan” and, collectively, the “Competitive Bid Loans”) from one or more Bidder Lenders pursuant to a Competitive Bid Borrowing at any time and from time to time on and after the Effective Date and prior to the date which is three Business Days preceding the date

which is 10 days prior to the Final Maturity Date, provided that after giving effect to any Competitive Bid Borrowing and the use of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate Principal Amount of Competitive Bid Loans outstanding shall not exceed either (x) when added to the aggregate Principal Amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding, the Loan Sublimit at such time or (y) when added to the aggregate Principal Amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, the Total Commitment at such time.

1.02 Minimum Borrowing Amounts, etc. The aggregate Principal Amount of each Borrowing shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount. More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any day, provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than 10 Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans.

1.03 Notice of Borrowing of Revolving Loans. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires to incur Revolving Loans, it shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office, (x) prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, and (y) written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the date of Borrowing in the case of each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in the form of Exhibit A-1 and shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the identity of the applicable Borrower, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (iii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans and (v) if such Borrowing consists of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing, of the portion thereof to be funded by such Lender and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of each Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent may prior to receipt of written confirmation act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by it in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower. In each such case, each Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice absent manifest error.

1.04 Competitive Bid Borrowings. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires to incur a Competitive Bid Borrowing, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) (x) at least four Business Days prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Spread Borrowing, and (y) at least one Business Day prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Borrowing which is Dollar-denominated and at least three Business Days prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of Absolute Rate Borrowing which is an Alternate Currency Loan, a written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A- 2 hereto (a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), which notice shall specify in each case (i) the identity of the applicable Borrower, (ii) the date (which shall be a Business Day) and the aggregate amount of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (iii) the maturity date for repayment of each and every Competitive Bid Loan to be made as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing (which maturity

date may be (A) up to six months after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing in the case of a Spread Borrowing and (B) no fewer than seven days and no more than 180 days after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing in the case of an Absolute Rate Borrowing, provided that in no event shall the maturity date of any Competitive Bid Borrowing be later than the tenth Business Day preceding the Final Maturity Date), (iv) the interest payment date or dates relating thereto, (v) whether the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing is to be an Absolute Rate Borrowing or a Spread Borrowing, (vi) in the case of an Alternate Currency Loan, the Alternate Currency for such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and (vii) any other terms to be applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bidder Lender by telephone or facsimile of each such request for a Competitive Bid Borrowing received by it from a Borrower and of the contents of the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.

(b) Each Bidder Lender shall, if, in its sole discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Competitive Bid Loans to the applicable Borrower as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Bidder Lender in its sole discretion and determined by such Bidder Lender independently of each other Bidder Lender, by notifying the Administrative Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to such Borrower by facsimile), before 9:30 A.M. (New York time) on the date (the “Reply Date”) which is (x) in the case of an Absolute Rate Borrowing which is Dollar-denominated, the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing and in the case of an Absolute Rate Borrowing which is an Alternate Currency Loan, two Business Days before the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing or (y) in the case of a Spread Borrowing, three Business Days before the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the minimum amount and maximum amount of each Competitive Bid Loan which such Bidder Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso contained in Section 1.01(b), exceed such Bidder Lender’s Commitment), the rate or rates of interest therefor and such Bidder Lender’s lending office with respect to such Competitive Bid Loan; provided that if the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bidder Lender shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify the respective Borrower of such offer before 9:15 A.M. (New York time) on the Reply Date. If any Bidder Lender shall elect not to make such an offer, such Bidder Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, before 9:30 A.M. (New York time) on the Reply Date, and such Bidder Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any Competitive Bid Loan as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; provided that the failure by any Bidder Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Bidder Lender to be obligated to make any Competitive Bid Loan as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing.

(i) cancel such Competitive Bid Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent notice to such effect (it being understood and agreed that if such Borrower gives no such notice of cancellation and no notice of acceptance pursuant to clause (ii) below, then such Borrower shall be deemed to have canceled such Competitive Bid Borrowing), or

(ii) accept one or more of the offers made by any Bidder Lender or Bidder Lenders pursuant to clause (b) above by giving notice (in writing or by telephone confirmed

in writing) to the Administrative Agent of the amount of each Competitive Bid Loan (which amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to the applicable Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Bidder Lender for such Competitive Bid Borrowing pursuant to clause (b) above) to be made by each Bidder Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining offers made by Bidder Lenders pursuant to clause (b) above by giving the Administrative Agent notice to that effect; provided that the acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Absolute Rates (in the case of an Absolute Rate Borrowing) or Spreads (in the case of a Spread Borrowing), in each case commencing with the lowest rate so offered; provided further, however, that if offers are made by two or more Bidder Lenders at the same rate and acceptance of all such equal offers would result in a greater principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans being accepted than the aggregate principal amount requested by the applicable Borrower, if such Borrower elects to accept any such offers such Borrower shall accept such offers pro rata from such Bidder Lenders (on the basis of the maximum amounts of such offers) unless any such Bidder Lender’s pro rata share would be less than the minimum amount specified by such Bidder Lender in its offer, in which case such Borrower shall have the right to accept one or more such equal offers in their entirety and reject the other equal offer or offers or to allocate acceptance among all such equal offers (but giving effect to the minimum and maximum amounts specified for each such offer pursuant to clause (b) above), as such Borrower may elect in its sole discretion.

(d) If any Competitive Bid Borrowing is cancelled or deemed cancelled pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Bidder Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

(e) If the applicable Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Bidder Lender or Bidder Lenders pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, the Administrative Agent shall in turn promptly notify (x) each Bidder Lender that has made an offer as described in clause (b) above, of the date and aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Bidder Lender pursuant to clause (b) above have been accepted by the applicable Borrower and (y) each Bidder Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Loan as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each Competitive Bid Loan to be made by such Bidder Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing.

1.05 Disbursement of Funds. (a) No later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) (or (i) 1:00 P.M. (New York time) in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans for which the applicable Notice of Borrowing was given on the date of borrowing and (ii) 3:00 P.M. (New York time) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing, each Lender will make available its pro rata share, if any, of such Borrowing requested to be made on such date. All such amounts shall be made available to the Administrative Agent in the relevant Approved Currency, as the case may be, and immediately available funds at the Payment Office and the Administrative Agent promptly will make available to the applicable Borrower by depositing to the account designated by such Borrower, which account shall be at an institution in the same city as the respective Payment Office, the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender participating in a

Borrowing prior to the date of such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days of receipt of such notice unless previously paid by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or such Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (x) if paid by such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (y) if paid by such Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 1.09, for the respective Loans.

(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which each Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

1.06 Notes. (a) To the extent requested by a Lender, each Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made to it by each Lender shall be evidenced (i) if Revolving Loans, by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 with blanks appropriately completed (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) and (ii) if Competitive Bid Loans, by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 with blanks appropriately completed (each a “Competitive Bid Note” and, collectively, the “Competitive Bid Notes”). Each Irish Designated Subsidiary Borrower shall pay any and all applicable stamp taxes or duties payable in connection with any Notes issued by it.

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will, prior to any transfer of any of its Notes, endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding Principal Amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation shall not affect a Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

1.07 Conversions. Each Borrower shall have the option to convert on any Business Day all or a portion at least equal to the applicable Minimum Borrowing Amount of its Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans into a Borrowing or Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, respectively, provided that (i) no partial conversion shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) Base Rate Loans may not be converted into Eurodollar Loans when a

Default or Event of Default is then in existence if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion and (iii) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans resulting from this Section 1.07 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 1.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the respective Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office, prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time), at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each, a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the Revolving Loans to be so converted, the Type of Loans (as to interest option) to be converted into and, if to be converted into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Loans.

1.08 Pro Rata Borrowings, etc. All Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to a Borrowing shall be made by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Revolving Loans hereunder, and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Revolving Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and regardless of whether such Lender has made any Competitive Bid Loans hereunder.

1.09 Interest. (a) The unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion at a rate per annum which shall at all times be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin each as in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion at a rate per annum which shall at all times during each Interest Period applicable thereto be equal to the sum of LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) The unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate or rates per annum specified by a Bidder Lender or Bidder Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 1.04(b) and accepted by the respective Borrower pursuant to Section 1.04(c)(ii).

(d) All overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of any Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2%, provided that principal in respect of Eurodollar Loans and Competitive Bid Loans shall bear interest from the date same becomes due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate of interest applicable on the due date therefor.

(e) Interest shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof, and shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the

case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, (iii) in respect of each Competitive Bid Loan, at such times as specified in the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing relating thereto, and (iv) in respect of each Loan, on any prepayment or conversion (other than the prepayment or conversion of any Base Rate Loan) (on the amount prepaid or converted), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(f) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 12.07(b).

(g) The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing for any Interest Period, shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

1.10 Interest Periods. (a) At the time a Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York Time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, it shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period or such other period available to all Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(i) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including, where relevant, the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(ii) if any Interest Period begins on (x) the last Business Day of a month, it shall end on the last Business Day of the month in which it is to end and (y) a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(iii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iv) no Interest Period may be elected that would extend beyond the Final Maturity Date;

(v) at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence no Interest Period may be elected if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such election; and

(vi) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period.

(b) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period, the applicable Borrower has failed to (or may not) elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to the Loans subject to the expiring Interest Period as provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, to convert such Borrowing into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

1.11 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) or (iv) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) below, any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining LIBOR for any Interest Period that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR;

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall actually incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans (other than any increased cost or reduction in the amount received or receivable resulting from the imposition of or a change in the rate of taxes or similar charges) because of any change since the Effective Date (or, in the case of any Competitive Bid Loan, since the making of such Competitive Bid Loan) in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order) (such as, for example, but not limited to, a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.11(c), 1.11(d) or 1.11(e));

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation or guideline, or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which adversely affects the relevant interbank market; or

(iv) at any time that any Alternate Currency is not available in sufficient amounts, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, to fund any Borrowing of Loans denominated in such Alternate Currency;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent in the case of clause (i) or (iv) above) shall (x) on such date and (y) within ten Business Days of the date on which such event no longer exists give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the respective Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) or (iv) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter, and for so long as the applicable circumstance continues to exist, (w) in

the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans (and Competitive Bid Loans constituting a Spread Borrowing priced by reference to LIBOR) shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the respective Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist in accordance with clause (y) of the preceding sentence, and any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by a Borrower with respect to such Loans which have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the relevant Borrower, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing the basis for the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, submitted to the applicable Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the applicable Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.11(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, Loans in the affected Alternate Currency shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the respective Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist in accordance with clause (y) of the preceding sentence, and any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by a Borrower with respect to such Alternate Currency Loans which have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower.

(b) At any time when any Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), the applicable Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan affected pursuant to Section 1.11(a)(iii), the applicable Borrower shall) either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the respective Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Loan or Competitive Bid Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and (B) in the case of a Competitive Bid Loan, repay all such Competitive Bid Loans in full, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.11(b).

(c) If any Lender shall have determined that after the Effective Date, the adoption or effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such

Lender or such other corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such other corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within 10 days after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other corporation for such reduction. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods that are commercially reasonable. Each Lender, upon so determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.11(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish each Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.11(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

(d) In the event that any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such Lender is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established by any Federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding office thereof) in respect of any Loans or any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Loan is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Lender to non-United States residents, then, unless such reserves are included in Section 1.11(a)(ii), 1.11(c) or 1.11(e), such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers in writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the cost of maintaining such reserves (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional amounts) and each Borrower shall, and shall be obligated to, pay to such Lender such specified amounts as additional interest at the time that such Borrower is otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Loan or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

(e) In the event that any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such Lender has incurred Additional Costs in respect of any Loans then, unless such Additional Costs are included in Section 1.11(a)(ii) or 1.11(c) or 1.11(d) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against such Additional Costs (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional amounts) and each Borrower shall, and shall be obligated to, pay to such Lender such specified amounts as additional interest at the time that such Borrower is otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Loan or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

(f) The Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts arising pursuant to Sections 1.11(a)(ii), 1.11(c), 1.11(d) or 1.11(e) that are attributable to the Excluded Period with respect to such additional amount; provided, that if an applicable law, rule, regulation, guideline or request shall be adopted or made on any date and shall be applicable to

the period prior to the date on which such law, rule, regulation, guideline or request is adopted or made (a “Retroactive Period”), the limitation on each Borrower’s obligations to pay such additional amounts hereunder shall not apply to the additional amounts payable in respect of such period.

1.12 Compensation. Each Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund any Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans made, or to be made, by it to such Borrower but excluding in any event the loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may actually sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing, a Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion, given by such Borrower (whether or not withdrawn by such Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.11(a)); (ii) if any prepayment, repayment or conversion of any such Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any such Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by such Borrower; (iv) if such Lender is required pursuant to Section 1.14 to assign any such Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans as of a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto; or (v) as a consequence of (x) any other default by such Borrower to repay its Eurodollar Loans or Competitive Bid Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) an election made pursuant to Section 1.11(b).

1.13 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv) 1.11(c), 1.11(d), 2.06 or 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Commitments affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding or materially mitigating the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of each Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 1.11 or 4.04.

1.14 Replacement of Lenders. (a) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.11(c), Section 1.11(d), Section 2.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to each Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders, (b) if a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and/or (c) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Company shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”), upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Replaced Lender, with one or more Person or Persons, none of whom shall be a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) at

the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.14, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements pursuant to Section 12.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 12.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01; (ii) all obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Documents owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid), including without limitation all amounts owing to the Replaced Lender under Section 1.12 as a result of the assignment of its Loans under clause (i) above, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement; and (iii) no assignment pursuant to this Section 1.14 shall be effective until all of the then outstanding Several Letters of Credit are returned by each respective beneficiary to the Issuing Agent for cancellation in exchange for new or amended Several Letters of Credit which give effect to such assignment (it being understood that to the extent the respective beneficiaries do not consent to such assignment, such assignment cannot occur). Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreements, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and the return, cancellation and exchange of each then outstanding Several Letter of Credit as provided above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the relevant Borrowers, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to the Replaced Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

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

(a) the Facility Fee shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a);

(b) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 12.11); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of (x) an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of each Lender affected thereby or (y) an amendment or other modification which is directed at such Defaulting Lender or Defaulting Lenders generally and which would materially and adversely affect such Defaulting Lender in a disproportionate manner to its effect on the other Lenders;

(i) all or any part of the participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Loans and participation percentage in Letter of Credit Outstandings plus such Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings allocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitments, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the respective LC Issuers only the respective Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for so long as such Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings are outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings during the period such Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings is cash collateralized;

(iv) if any Non-Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the Letter of Credit Fee payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.01(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Percentages;

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of each Guaranteed Creditor hereunder, the Facility Fee payable under Section 3.01(a) that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings) and the Letter of Credit Fee payable under Section 3.01(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be payable to the respective LC Issuers until and to the extent that such Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Fronting Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Fronted Letter of Credit, unless such Fronting Lender is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s participation percentage in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Fronted Letters of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 1.15(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Administrative Agent has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, no Fronting Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Fronted Letter of Credit, unless such Fronting Lender shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to such Fronting Lender to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Fronting Lender agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Lenders’ participation percentages in Fronted Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Competitive Bid Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Percentage.

1.17 Additional Commitments. (a) The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, after the Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date to request (so long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence or would result therefrom) on one or more occasions that one or more existing Lenders provide Additional Commitments; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no existing Lender shall be obligated to provide an Additional Commitment as a result of any request by the Company unless it agrees in its sole discretion to do so, (ii) until such time, if any, as (x) such existing Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Additional Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Additional Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in Section 1.17(b) and (y) such other conditions set forth in Section 1.17(b) shall have been satisfied, such existing Lender shall not be obligated to make Loans or issue, or participate in, Letters of Credit, in excess of the amounts provided for herein, immediately before giving effect to such Additional Commitments provided by such existing Lender pursuant to this Section 1.17, (iii) any existing Lender may provide an Additional Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iv) the aggregate amount of Additional Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 1.17 shall not exceed $250,000,000, with up to the full amount of the Commitment available to be used for Letters of Credit and up to half of the Commitment available to be used for Loans, (v) all up-front fees payable to any Additional Commitment Lender shall be as set forth in the relevant Additional Commitment Agreement, (vi) if, on or after the tenth Business Day following the request by the Company of the then existing Lenders to provide Additional Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.17 on the terms to be applicable thereto, the Company has not received Additional Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to that amount of the Additional Commitments which the Company desires to obtain pursuant to such request (as set forth in the request provided by the Company to the Administrative Agent as provided above), then the Company may request Additional Commitments from Persons which are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Fronting Lender in an aggregate amount equal to such deficiency on terms which are no more favorable in any respect than the terms offered to the existing Lenders, (vii) all Additional Commitments provided on a given date pursuant to this Section 1.17 shall have the same terms and conditions as all then existing Commitments and

(b) At the time of any provision of Additional Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.17, (i) the Company, each Designated Subsidiary Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each existing Lender which agrees to provide an Additional Commitment (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Additional Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit L, subject to such modifications in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as may be necessary or appropriate (with the effectiveness of such Additional Commitment Lender’s Additional Commitment to occur upon delivery of such Additional Commitment Agreement to the Administrative Agent, the payment of any fees required in connection therewith and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in this Section 1.17 to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent), (ii) if such Additional Commitment Lender is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purpose or would otherwise constitute a Foreign Lender, such Additional Commitment Lender shall provide to the Company the appropriate Internal Revenue Service documentation described in Section 4.04(b), (iii) the Company and each Designated Subsidiary Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent resolutions authorizing the incurrence of the Obligations to be incurred pursuant to each Additional Commitment, together with evidence of good standing of the Company and each Designated Subsidiary Borrower and (iv) the Company and each Designated Subsidiary Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an opinion, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from counsel to the Company and such Designated Subsidiary Borrower reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and dated such date, covering such matters similar to those set forth in the opinions of counsel delivered to the Lenders on the Effective Date pursuant to Section 5.01(e) and such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the occurrence of each Additional Commitment Date, and (x) on each such date, the Total Commitment under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement and each other Credit Document shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Additional Commitments and (y) on each such date, Annex I shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Commitments of each affected Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in connection with any increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this Section 1.17, the Company shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain Lenders and, if necessary, incur additional Revolving Loans from other Lenders, in each case so that such Lenders participate in each Borrowing of such Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their Commitments (after giving effect to any increase thereof).

(c) It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that any Several Letters of Credit in existence on an Additional Commitment Date (the “Specified Several Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed issued under this Agreement as a “Specified Several Letter of Credit” on such Additional Commitment Date. As soon as possible following each Additional Commitment Date, each Specified Several Letter of Credit shall be amended to replace each Lender party hereto immediately prior to such Additional Commitment Date (each such Lender, a “Pre-existing Lender”) with each Lender party to this Agreement as of such Additional Commitment

Date in accordance with each such Lender’s modified Percentage. Until a Specified Several Letter of Credit has been amended in accordance with this Section 1.17 each Pre-existing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Pre-existing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Percentage, in such Specified Several Letter of Credit, each substitute Specified Several Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto and any security therefore or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments of the Lenders pursuant to Section 1.14 or 12.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Specified Several Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings with respect thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 1.17 to reflect the new Percentages of the assigning and assignee Lender.

(d) In determining whether to pay under any Specified Several Letter of Credit, no Pre-existing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the Lenders other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Specified Several Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Specified Several Letter of Credit, which obligation, it is understood, is being performed by the Issuing Agent, and upon whom each Pre-existing Lenders shall be entitled to rely. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Pre-existing Lender under or in connection with any Specified Several Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Pre-existing Lender any resulting liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(e) In the event that any Pre-existing Lender makes any payment under any Specified Several Letter of Credit issued by it and the respective Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to each Pre-existing Lender pursuant to Section 2.05, such Pre-existing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each such Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Pre-existing Lender, the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of such payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies any Lender required to fund a payment under a Specified Several Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the account of the respective Pre-existing Lender such Lender’s Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds (and, to the extent such notice is given after 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make such payment on the immediately following Business Day). If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Pre-existing Lender, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Pre-existing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Pre-existing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Pre-existing Lender its Percentage of any

payment under any Specified Several Letter of Credit issued by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Pre-existing Lender its Percentage of any payment under any such Several Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Pre-existing Lender such other Lender’s Percentage of any such payment.

(f) Whenever any Pre-existing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Pre-existing Lender any payments from the Lenders pursuant to clause (e) above, such Pre-existing Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender which has paid its Percentage thereof same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(g) The obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Pre-existing Lender with respect to Specified Several Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Specified Several Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Specified Several Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Pre-existing Lender, or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Several Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary named in any such Specified Several Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Specified Several Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 2. Letters of Credit.

2.01 Several Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower (other than any Irish Designated Subsidiary Borrower) may

request that the Issuing Agent at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date to issue, for the account of such Borrower and in support of, on a standby basis, Letter of Credit Supportable Obligations of such Borrower to any other Person and subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth the Issuing Agent agrees to issue at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date one or more irrevocable standby letters of credit in such form as may be approved by the Issuing Agent (each such letter of credit, a “Several Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Several Letters of Credit”).

(b) Each Several Letter of Credit will be issued by the Issuing Agent on behalf of the Lenders and each Lender will participate in each Several Letter of Credit pro rata in accordance with its Percentage. The obligations of each Lender under and in respect of each Several Letter of Credit are several, and the failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit shall not affect the obligations of the respective Borrower toward any other party hereto nor shall any other such party be liable for the failure by such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under any Several Letter of Credit.

(c) Each Several Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the Issuing Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, each Lender and the Issuing Agent shall act under each Several Letter of Credit, and each Several Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that the Issuing Agent shall act, as the agent of each Lender to (a) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Several Letter of Credit, (b) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit and (c) notify such Lender and such Borrower that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related Several Unpaid Drawing is to be made; provided that the Issuing Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any Several Unpaid Drawing under such Letter of Credit, and each Several Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Issuing Agent as its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of the Issuing Agent, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Lender each Several Letter of Credit to be issued by such Lender hereunder. Promptly upon the request of the Issuing Agent, each Lender will furnish to the Issuing Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Several Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the Issuing Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Lender to execute and deliver such Several Letter of Credit.

(d) Each Lender represents and warrants that each Several Letter of Credit constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Lender enforceable in accordance with its terms, provided that the enforceability thereof is subject to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

2.02 Fronted Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may request that any Fronting Lender at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date issue for its own account a letter of credit for the account of such Borrower and in support of, on a standby basis, Letter of Credit Supportable Obligations of such Borrower to any other Person and subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Fronting Lender agrees to issue at any

time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date one or more irrevocable standby letters of credit in such form as may be approved by such Fronting Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Fronted Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Fronted Letters of Credit”); provided that the aggregate Stated Amount of all such Fronted Letters of Credit shall not exceed $375,000,000 at any time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Fronted Letter of Credit shall be issued for the account of an Irish Designated Subsidiary Borrower unless the Fronting Lender issuing such Fronted Letter of Credit is an Irish licensed bank or an authorized credit institution within the meaning of Directive 2000/12/EC.

(b) Immediately upon the issuance by any Fronting Lender of any Fronted Letter of Credit, such Fronting Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender other than such Fronting Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity as a “participant” under any Fronted Letter of Credit, a “Fronting Participant”), and each such Fronting Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Fronting Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Fronting Participant’s Percentage, in such Fronted Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 1.17), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all then outstanding Fronted Letters of Credit and Fronted Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.02 to reflect the new Percentages resulting from such change or changes, as the case may be.

(c) In the event that any Fronting Lender makes any payment under any Fronted Letter of Credit and the respective Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05, such Fronting Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Fronting Participant, of such failure, and each Fronting Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Fronting Lender the amount of such Fronting Participant’s Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. If, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, the Administrative Agent so notifies any Fronting Participant required to fund a payment under a Fronted Letter of Credit, such Fronting Participant shall make available to such Fronting Lender in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds such Fronting Participant’s Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day (or, if notice is given after 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, on the next Business Day). If and to the extent such Fronting Participant shall not have so made its Percentage of the amount of such payment available to such Fronting Lender, such Fronting Participant agrees to pay to such Fronting Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date to but excluding the date such amount is paid to such Fronting Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate. The failure of any Fronting Participant to make available to such Fronting Lender its Percentage of any payment under any Fronted Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Fronting Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Fronting Lender its Percentage of any payment on the date required, as specified above, but no Fronting Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other

Fronting Participant to make available to such Fronting Lender such other Fronting Participant’s Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever any Fronting Lender receives any payment by any Borrower as to which it has also received payments from the Fronting Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Fronting Lender shall forward such payment to the Administrative Agent, which in turn shall distribute to each Fronting Participant which has paid its Percentage thereof, in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Fronting Participant’s share (based upon the amount funded by such Fronting Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Fronting Participants and retained by such Fronting Lender) of the principal amount of such payment and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) The obligations of the Fronting Participants to make payments to each Fronting Lender with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any amendment, supplement or modification to any of the foregoing;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Fronting Participant or any of its Affiliates may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Fronted Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Fronted Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Fronting Lender, any Fronting Participant, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Fronted Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any of its Affiliates and the beneficiary named in any such Fronted Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Fronted Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(vi) any matter or event set forth in subsection 2.05.

(f) Upon the request of any Fronting Participant, each Fronting Lender shall furnish to such Fronting Participant copies of any Fronted Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Fronting Participant.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2 shall not be amended, modified or waived in a manner adverse to the rights or obligations of any Fronting Lender without the consent of each Fronting Lender affected thereby.

2.03 Conditions to the Issuance of all Letters of Credit. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2, no LC Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if at the time of such issuance:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such LC Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such LC Issuer or any Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such LC Issuer or any Lender shall prohibit, or request that such LC Issuer or any Lenders refrain from, the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such LC Issuer or any Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such LC Issuer is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Effective Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to such LC Issuer as of the Effective Date;

(ii) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02 are not satisfied at that time; or

(iii) such LC Issuer shall have received notice from any Borrower or the Required Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit of the type described in clause (v) of Section 2.03(b).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2:

(i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to (x) the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time, and (y) the aggregate Principal Amount of all Loans then outstanding, would exceed the Total Commitment at such time;

(ii) each Letter of Credit may be denominated in any Approved Currency as determined by each such Borrower at the time of issuance; provided that the aggregate Stated Amount of all non-U.S. Dollar denominated Letters of Credit does not exceed $100,000,000 at any time;

(iii) no Fronted Letter of Credit shall be issued at any time if after giving effect thereto the Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to all Fronted Letters of Credit would exceed $375,000,000;

(iv) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not later than one year after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance, provided that each such Letter of Credit may by its terms automatically renew annually for one additional year unless the

respective LC Issuer notifies the beneficiary thereof, in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed; and

(v) no LC Issuer will issue any Letter of Credit after it has received written notice from any Borrower or the Required Lenders stating that any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.02 is not satisfied until such time as the Issuing Agent shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering the same or (y) a waiver of such condition precedent by the Required Lenders.

(c) Subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, each LC Issuer is hereby authorized by each Borrower and the Lenders to arrange for the issuance of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.02 and the amendment of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.08 and/or 12.04(b) by:

2.04 Letter of Credit Requests. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective LC Issuer written notice (including by way of facsimile transmission, immediately confirmed in writing by submission of the original of such request by mail to the Issuing Agent) thereof prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Issuing Agent and the respective LC Issuer) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which written notice shall be in the form of Exhibit I (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”). If requested by the respective LC Issuer, the respective Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application or other agreement on such LC Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. 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 the respective Borrower to, or entered into by such Borrower with, the respective LC Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the respective Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and it will not violate the requirements of, Section 2.01 or 2.02, as the case may be, and Section 2.03.

(c) Upon its issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit, the respective LC Issuer shall promptly notify the respective Borrower and the Lenders of such issuance or amendment, which notice shall include a summary description of the Letter of Credit actually issued and any amendments thereto.

2.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) Each Borrower agrees to reimburse (x) each Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, for any payment or disbursement made by such Lender under any Several Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid or disbursed until reimbursed, a “Several Unpaid Drawing”) no later than three Business Days following the date of such payment or disbursement and (y) the respective Fronting Lender directly for any payment or disbursement made by such Fronting Lender under any Fronted Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid or disbursed until reimbursed, a “Fronted Unpaid Drawing”) no later than one Business Day following the date of such payment or disbursement, in each case, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but not including the date such Lender is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, as in effect from time to time (plus an additional 2% per annum, payable on demand, if not reimbursed by the third Business Day after the date on which the respective Borrower receives notice from the respective LC Issuer of such payment or disbursement).

(b) Each Borrower’s obligation under this Section 2.05 to reimburse each Lender or each LC Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Borrower may have or have had against such Lender or any LC Issuer, including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non -application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such drawing; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse any Lender or any LC Issuer for any wrongful payment made by such Lender or any LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Lender or such LC Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In determining whether to pay under any Fronted Letter of Credit, no Fronting Lender shall have any obligation relative to any Fronting Participant other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Fronted Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Fronted Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any LC Issuer under or in connection with any Fronted Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of such LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), shall not create for such LC Issuer any resulting liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates.

2.06 Increased Costs. If after the Effective Date, the adoption or effectiveness of any applicable law, rule or regulation, order, guideline or request or any change therein after the Effective Date, or any change adopted or effective after the Effective Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation

or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by or participated in by such Lender, or (ii) impose on such Lender any other conditions directly or indirectly affecting this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit, then, upon written demand to the applicable Borrower by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. The preceding sentence shall not apply to increased costs with respect to taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein or with respect to Taxes to the extent that a Lender received additional amounts (or otherwise was indemnified) for such Taxes pursuant to Section 4.04 (or would have received additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.04(a) but for a failure to comply with Section 4.04(b) or Section 4.04(c)). A certificate submitted to the applicable Borrower by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), setting forth the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as aforesaid shall be final and conclusive and binding on the applicable Borrower absent manifest error, although the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not release or diminish the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.06 upon subsequent receipt of such certificate. The Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts arising pursuant to this Section 2.06 that are attributable to the Excluded Period with respect to such additional amount; provided, that if an applicable law, rule, regulation, guideline or request shall be adopted or made on any date and shall be applicable to the period prior to the date on which such law, rule, regulation, guideline or request is adopted or made, the limitation on each Borrower’s obligations to pay such additional amounts hereunder shall not apply to the additional amounts payable in respect of such period.

2.07 Letter of Credit Expiration Extensions. Each Lender acknowledges that to the extent provided under the terms of any Letter of Credit, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit will be automatically extended for an additional year, without written amendment, unless at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, notice is given by the respective LC Issuer in accordance with the terms of the respective Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Non-Extension”) that the expiration date of such Letter of Credit will not be extended beyond its current expiration date. The respective LC Issuer will give Notices of Non-Extension as to any or all outstanding Letters of Credit if requested to do so by the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 9.01. The respective LC Issuer will give Notices of Non-Extension as to all outstanding Letters of Credit at least 30 days prior to the expiration date of the respective Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of the respective Letter of Credit, if the Final Maturity Date has occurred. The respective LC Issuer will send a copy of each Notice of Non-Extension to the Company concurrently with delivery thereof to the respective beneficiary, unless prohibited by law from doing so.

2.08 Changes to Stated Amount. At any time when any Letter of Credit is outstanding, at the request of the respective Borrower, the Issuing Agent will enter into an amendment increasing or reducing the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that (i) in no event shall the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit be increased to an amount which, (x) when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time attributable to all Letters of Credit and the aggregate Principal Amount of all Loans then outstanding, would exceed the Total Commitment, or (y) would cause the Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to all Fronted Letters of Credit to exceed $375,000,000, (ii) the Stated Amount of a Letter of Credit may not be increased at any time if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.02 are not satisfied at such time, and (iii) the Stated Amount of a Letter of Credit may not be increased at any time after the Final Maturity Date.

2.09 Confirming Letters of Credit . Notwithstanding anything contained herein, to the extent a Letter of Credit has been requested by a Borrower subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, and such Borrower has requested that the Issuing Agent have such Letter of Credit confirmed by a confirming bank, each Lender hereby makes, constitutes, and appoints the Issuing Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in its name, place and stead, giving the Issuing Agent the full power to request, on behalf of each Lender, a confirmation by such confirming bank relating to such Letter of Credit and to take any other action with respect to the confirmation of such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Agent deems necessary; provided that the Issuing Agent shall have no liability for any reimbursement or other obligations to any confirming bank. Promptly upon request of the Issuing Agent, each Lender will furnish to the Issuing Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any confirming bank may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that the Issuing Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Lender to have such Letter of Credit confirmed by such confirming bank.

2.10 Existing Fronted Letters of Credit. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that all Fronted Letters of Credit described on Annex VI hereto (the “Existing Fronted Letters of Credit”) which were issued under the Existing Credit Agreement and which remain outstanding on the Effective Date shall be deemed issued under this Agreement as a “Fronted Letter of Credit” on the Effective Date.

2.11 Existing Several Letters of Credit. (a) It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that all Several Letters of Credit described on Annex VII (the “Existing Several Letters of Credit”) which were issued and which remain outstanding on the Effective Date shall be deemed issued under this Agreement as a “Several Letter of Credit” on the Effective Date. As soon as possible following the Effective Date, each Existing Several Letter of Credit shall be amended to replace each Existing Lender with each Lender party to this Agreement at the time of such amendment in accordance with each such Lender’s Percentage. Until an Existing Several Letter of Credit has been amended in accordance with this Section 2.11 each Existing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Existing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Percentage, in such Existing Several Letter of Credit, each substitute Existing Several Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder, the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto and any security therefore or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments of the Lenders pursuant to Section 1.14, 1.17 or 12.04(b),

it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Existing Several Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings with respect thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.11 to reflect the new Percentages of the assigning and assignee Lender.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Existing Several Letter of Credit, no Existing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the Lenders other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such Existing Several Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Existing Several Letter of Credit, which obligation, it is understood, is being performed by the Issuing Agent, and upon whom each Existing Lenders shall be entitled to rely. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Existing Lender under or in connection with any Existing Several Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Existing Lender any resulting liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that any Existing Lender makes any payment under any Existing Several Letter of Credit issued by it and the respective Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to each Existing Lender pursuant to Section 2.05, such Existing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each such Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Existing Lender, the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of such payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies any Lender required to fund a payment under an Existing Several Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the account of the respective Existing Lender such Lender’s Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds (and, to the extent such notice is given after 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make such payment on the immediately following Business Day). If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Existing Lender, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Existing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Existing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Existing Lender its Percentage of any payment under any Existing Several Letter of Credit issued by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Existing Lender its Percentage of any payment under any such Several Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Existing Lender such other Lender’s Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever any Existing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Existing Lender any payments from the Lenders pursuant to clause (c) above, such Existing Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender which has paid its Percentage thereof same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the principal amount thereof and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Existing Lender with respect to Existing Several Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in an Existing Several Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Existing Several Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Existing Lender, or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Existing Several Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary named in any such Existing Several Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or other document presented under the Existing Several Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay Revolving Loans made to it in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the Revolving Loans, the amount of such prepayment, the currency in which such Loans are denominated and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such Loans were made, which notice shall be given by such Borrower (x) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least one Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans and (y) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and which notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the Lenders; (ii) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000, or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, provided that no partial prepayment of any Revolving Loans shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto; (iii) each prepayment in respect of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans; and (iv) prepayments of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to this Section 4.01 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless concurrently with such prepayment any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 1.12 as a result of such prepayment are made. No Borrower shall have the right under this Section 4.01 to prepay any principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loans.

4.02 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If on any date prior to the Final Maturity Date (including, without limitation, any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 12.07(c)), the sum of the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of Loans (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Aggregate Loan Outstandings”) plus the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds 105% of the Total Commitment as then in effect, the Company shall cause one or more Borrowers to repay on such day the Principal Amount of the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Aggregate Loan Outstandings plus the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceed the Total Commitment as then in effect. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans, as set forth above, the sum of the remaining Aggregate Loan Outstandings plus the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceed the Total Commitment, the Company shall cause one or more Borrowers to pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such date an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the sum of the aggregate Principal Amount of Competitive Bid Loans outstanding at such time plus the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be

established by the Administrative Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) If on any date prior to the Final Maturity Date (including, without limitation, any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 12.07(c)), the Aggregate Loan Outstandings exceeds the Loan Sublimit at such time, then the Company shall cause one or more Borrowers to repay on such day the Principal Amount of the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount by which the Aggregate Loan Outstandings exceed the Loan Sublimit at such time. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Loans, as set forth above, the aggregate Principal Amount of Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding exceeds the Loan Sublimit, the Company shall cause one or more Borrowers to pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such date an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the aggregate Principal Amount of Competitive Bid Loans outstanding at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, but only if and for so long as such excess exists and only to the extent of such excess.

(c) If on any date after the Final Maturity Date (including, without limitation, any date on which Dollar Equivalents are determined pursuant to Section 12.07(c)), the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceed 105% of the L/C FMD Amount, the Company shall cause one or more Borrowers to pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such date an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount by which the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceed the L/C FMD Amount, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) On the maturity date specified pursuant to Section 1.04(a) with respect to each Competitive Bid Loan, the applicable Borrower shall repay such Competitive Bid Loan to the applicable Bidder Lender or Bidder Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Competitive Bid Loans shall be repaid in full on the Final Maturity Date unless paid in full prior to such date.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, all outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Final Maturity Date.

(f) With respect to each prepayment of Loans required by Section 4.02(a), (b), (c) or (d), the applicable Borrower may designate the Types of Loans which are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, provided that (i) if any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans denominated in Dollars made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount for such Borrowing, then all Loans outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing shall be immediately converted into Base Rate Loans and (ii) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by a Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent

shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 1.12.

(g) It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.02 to the contrary, each Designated Subsidiary Borrower shall only be required to repay or provide cash collateral for its own Loans and Letters of Credit, and shall not be liable for the Loans or Letters of Credit of any other Borrower.

4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable (based on its pro rata share) account of the Lenders entitled thereto, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Payment Office in (x) Dollars, if such payment is made in respect of any obligation of the Borrowers under this Agreement except as otherwise provided in the immediately succeeding clause (y); and (y) the appropriate Alternate Currency, if such payment is made in respect of principal of or interest on Alternate Currency Loans, it being understood that written notice by a Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in such Borrower’s account at the Payment Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. Any payments under this Agreement which are made later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension. The Administrative Agent will promptly make available to each Lender its pro rata share (if any) of each payment so received by the Administrative Agent in the funds and currency so received.

4.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by each Borrower hereunder or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, (A) except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein, and (B) any United States federal withholding tax that would not have been imposed but for a failure by a Lender (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such Lender) to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the relevant Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the relevant

Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender lending to such Borrower, upon the written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender, in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. Each Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts (or if it has been established to the satisfaction of the applicable taxing authority that it is impossible to furnish such receipts, such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) evidencing such payment by the Borrower. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to each Borrower organized under the laws of the United States (“U.S. Borrower”) and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.14 or 12.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (any such certificate, a “Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W- 8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption)(or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section

4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to Section 12.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) each U.S. Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the U.S. Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the U.S. Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the U.S. Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section 12.04(b), each Borrower agrees to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of such Taxes.

(c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file any certificate or document or to furnish to a Borrower that is not a U.S. Borrower any information as reasonably requested by such Borrower that may be necessary to establish any available exemption from, or reduction in the amount of, any Taxes; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information (including, without limitation, its tax returns or its Tax calculations). A Borrower that is not a U.S. Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed if such Lender has not used reasonable efforts to provide a certificate, document or information to the extent required pursuant to this Section 4.04(c).

(d) If any Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 4.04 and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received in connection therewith any refund of its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Refund”), such Lender shall pay to such Borrower an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Refund; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether to seek a Tax Refund; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Refund with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to any Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) shall be treated as a Tax for which such Borrower is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to

this Section 4.04 without any exclusions or defenses; (iii) nothing in this Section 4.04(d) shall require the Lender to disclose any confidential information to any Borrower (including, without limitation, its tax returns); and (iv) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04(d) at any time during which a Default or Event of Default exists.

6.14 Compliance with Laws.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agents may perform any of their duties hereunder by or through their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

11.02 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon either Agent any obligations

in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein with respect to the Administrative Agent.

11.03 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

11.04 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If any Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

11.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype, facsimile or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that such Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

11.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrowers, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, in proportion to their respective “percentages” as used in determining the Required Lenders, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which

may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its respective duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

11.07 The Administrative Agent’s Individual Capacities.

11.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

11.09 Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Company provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, shall then appoint a successor Administrative

Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

12.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights or remedies (including other rights of set off) which any Lender may have, now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits in whatever currency (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located, but excluding any assets in securities custody accounts) to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of any such Borrower, now or hereafter existing, to such Lender or any other Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations of any such Borrower purchased by such Lender or any other Lender pursuant to Section 12.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender is hereby designated the agent of all other Lenders for purposes of effecting set off pursuant to this Section 12.02.

12.03 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier or facsimile) and mailed, telecopied, faxed or delivered, if to a Borrower, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents, as the case may be; if to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at its address specified for such Lender or the Administrative Agent on Annex II hereto; or, at such other address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto.

12.04 Benefit of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, provided that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders. Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under any of the Notes to any Person, provided that (x) in the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that the participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.11 and 4.04 of this Agreement to the extent that such Lender would be entitled to such benefits if the participation had not been entered into or sold and (y) no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest

rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase such participant’s participating interest in any Commitment over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment, or a mandatory prepayment, shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) with the consent of each Fronting Lender, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to another Lender (or an Affiliate of such assigning Lender), and (y) with the consent of the Administrative Agent, each Fronting Lender and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Persons. No assignment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by a Lender (or by Lenders which are Affiliates of each other) shall to the extent such assignment represents an assignment to an institution other than one or more Lenders hereunder (or to an Affiliate of an assigning Lender), be in an aggregate amount less than $5,000,000 unless all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender (or group of Lenders which are Affiliates) is so assigned and no assignment shall be effective until all of the then outstanding Several Letters of Credit are returned by each respective beneficiary to the Issuing Agent for cancellation in exchange for new or amended Several Letters of Credit which give effect to such assignment (it being understood and agreed that if the beneficiaries of all then outstanding Several Letters of Credit do not consent to such amendment or exchange, such assignment cannot occur). If any Lender so sells or assigns all or a part of its rights hereunder or under the Notes, any reference in this Agreement or the Notes to such assigning Lender shall thereafter refer to such Lender and to the respective assignee to the extent of their respective interests and the respective assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would if it were such assigning Lender. Each assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) shall be effected by the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender executing an Assignment Agreement (appropriately completed). At the time of any such assignment, (i) either the assigning or the assignee Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable assignment fee of $3,500, (ii) Annex I shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the Commitment of the respective assignee (which shall result in a direct reduction to the Commitment of the assigning Lender) and of the other Lenders, (iii) the Borrowers at such time will issue new Notes to the respective assignee and to the assigning Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.06 and (iv) all then outstanding Several Letters of Credit (if the beneficiaries thereof have agreed) shall be amended or returned to the Issuing Agent for cancellation and reissued to reflect such assignment. To the extent any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) is to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Company and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 4.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding obligations pursuant to this Section 12.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.11 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning bank prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes specified in said Section 1.11 or 4.04 occurring after the date of the respective assignment). Each Lender and each of the Borrowers agree to execute such

documents (including without limitation amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents) as shall be necessary to effect the foregoing. Nothing in this clause (b) shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Notes or Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 12.04, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any State.

12.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.

12.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) The Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of each Borrower in respect of any Obligations of such Borrower hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has expressly waived its right to receive its pro rata share thereof) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Borrower to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount, provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.01(b), Section 2.02(b), Section 2.02(c), Section 2.11(c) or Section 11.06, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuer to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application

12.13 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, Subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender, provided that the Borrowers shall not be responsible for costs arising under Section 1.11 or 4.04 resulting from any such transfer (other than a transfer pursuant to Section 1.13 or 1.14) to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender prior to such transfer.

12.14 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 12.04, the Lenders shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices and in any event may make disclosure to its Affiliates, employees, auditors, advisors, agents or counsel or as reasonably required by any bona fide transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Loans or participation therein (so long as such transferee or participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.14) or with the prior written consent of the Company or as required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process, provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify the Company of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information, and provided further that in no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Lender (and any employee, representative or other agent of such Lender) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, such Lender’s U.S. federal income tax treatment and the U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby relating to such Lender and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, no disclosure of any information relating to such tax treatment or tax structure may be made to the extent nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

12.15 Registry. Each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 12.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 12.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. Each of the Borrowers agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 12.15.

12.16 Judgment Currency. (a) The Borrowers’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in the applicable Approved Currency (pursuant to such Obligation, the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against each Borrowers in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the Relevant Currency Equivalent, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment,

will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

(c) For purposes of determining the Relevant Currency Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

12.17 Euro. (a) If at any time that an Alternate Currency Loan is outstanding, the relevant Alternate Currency is fully replaced as the lawful currency of the country that issued such Alternate Currency (the “Issuing Country”) by the Euro so that all payments are to be made in the Issuing Country in Euros and not in the Alternate Currency previously the lawful currency of such country, then such Alternate Currency Loan shall be automatically converted into a Loan denominated in Euros in a principal amount equal to the amount of Euros into which the principal amount of such Alternate Currency Loan would be converted pursuant to the EMU Legislation and thereafter no further Loans will be available in such Alternate Currency, with the basis of accrual of interest, notices requirements and payment offices with respect to such converted Loans to be that consistent with the convention and practices in the London interbank market for Euro denominated Loans.

(b) The applicable Borrowers shall from time to time, at the request of any Lender, pay to such Lender the amount of any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, reduction in yield, additional expense, increased cost, reduction in any amount payable, reduction in the effective return of its capital, the decrease or delay in the payment of interest or any other return forgone by such Lender or its affiliates as a result of the tax or currency exchange resulting from the introduction, changeover to or operation of the Euro in any applicable nation or eurocurrency market.

12.18 Effective Overall Rate. In accordance with Articles L 313-4 and R. 313-1 of the Code Monetaire et Financier of the French Republic, an estimate of the Effective Overall Rate of each Loan to be made to PARIS RE SA is set forth in the TEG Letter, which is incorporated herein by reference and forms part of this Agreement.

12.19 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act (“Title III of Pub. L 109-177 (signed into law March 9, 2009)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

12.20 Return of Notes. Each Existing Lender hereby agrees to return to the Company each of the Notes previously delivered to such Existing Lender by any Borrower in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement. To the extent any Existing Lender does not return all such Notes such Existing Lender hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Borrower that has not received such Notes from and against any liability which each such Borrower may sustain by reason of the loss, misplacement, destruction, theft or the failure of such Existing Lender to return such Notes.

SECTION 13. Company Guaranty.

13.01 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Company from the proceeds of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, the Company hereby agrees with the Lenders as follows: the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations of any Designated Subsidiary Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, the Company unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. If a claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant, then and in such event the Company agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon the Company, notwithstanding any revocation of this Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower, and the Company shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

13.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, the Company unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower hereunder to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by each Designated Subsidiary Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 9.01(g) and Section 9.01(h) with respect to such Designated Subsidiary Borrower, and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.

13.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of the Company hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower whether executed by the Company, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the Company hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by each Designated Subsidiary Borrower or by any other party (other than a direction by the Guaranteed Creditor receiving such payment), or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by each Designated Subsidiary Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to each Designated Subsidiary Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief

proceeding, and the Company waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 13.05.

13.04 Independent Obligation. The obligations of the Company under this Section 13 are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or each Designated Subsidiary Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Company whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or each Designated Subsidiary Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or each Designated Subsidiary Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. The Company waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability under this Section 13 or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by a Designated Subsidiary Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to a Designated Subsidiary Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Company.

13.05 Authorization. The obligations of the Company under this Section 13 shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by any action taken by any Guaranteed Creditor to:

(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and the Guaranty herein made shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against each Designated Subsidiary Borrower or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, each Designated Subsidiary Borrower or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Company from its liabilities under this Guaranty.

13.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

13.07 Subordination. Any indebtedness of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower now or hereafter owing to the Company is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, no Designated Subsidiary Borrower shall make, or be permitted to make, any payment to the Company in respect of such indebtedness owed to the Company, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the Company under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the Company of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower to the Company, the Company shall ▇▇▇▇ such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

13.08 Waiver. (a) The Company waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against each Designated Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from each Designated Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. The Company waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any

security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against the Designated Subsidiary Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Company hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. The Company waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Company against each Designated Subsidiary Borrower or any other party or any security.

(b) The Company waives any defense based on promptness or diligence and all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. The Company assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Designated Subsidiary Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Company assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise the Company of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

The Company warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, and such waivers shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.
