Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make Loans to any of the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time from the Closing Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date on a pro rata basis as to the total borrowing requested by the applicable Borrower on any day determined by such Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage up to but not exceeding the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, provided, however, that (A) the proceeds of such Loan shall be used by such Borrower to (i) finance or reimburse a Borrower for up to the Allowed Percentage of (x) an Eligible Asset and (y), without duplication of amounts included in clause (x), 65% of the costs incurred in connection with any Approved Improvements or any Qualified Conversion related to such Eligible Asset and (ii) subsequent to the initial purchase of such Eligible Asset, to finance up to the Allowed Percentage of such Eligible Asset and (B) the amount of such Loan (together with any other Loans relating to such Eligible Asset) shall not exceed the Allowed Percentage of such Eligible Asset; and provided, further, that the Lenders will not be required and shall have no obligation to make any such Loan (i) so long as a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if the Agent has accelerated the maturity of any of the Loans as a result of an Event of Default; and provided, further, that immediately after giving effect to each such Loan, (A) the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the Borrowing Base Covenant; and (B) the amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment; and provided, further, that (1) no Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made which has an Interest Period that extends beyond the Stated Termination Date and (2) each Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, be repaid only on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto unless such payment is accompanied by the additional payment, if any, required by Section 4.5. Amounts borrowed and subsequently repaid shall not be available to the Borrower to re-borrow.

(b) Amounts. Each Revolving Loan hereunder and each Conversion under Section 2.7, shall be in an amount of at least $500,000 (other than Revolving Loans made in connection with an Approved Improvement or a Qualified Conversion).

(c) Procedures. An Authorized Representative shall give the Agent (i) at least three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable written notice of an Interest Rate Selection Notice with appropriate insertions, effective upon receipt, of each Revolving Loan that is to be Converted into a Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to 10:30 A.M. and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day’s written notice, revocable only on or before noon the following Business Day of a Borrowing Notice with appropriate insertions, effective upon receipt, of each Revolving Loan (which shall be borrowed as a Base Rate Loan) prior to 10:30 A.M. and (iii) at least one (1) Business Day’s irrevocable written notice of an Interest Rate Selection Notice with appropriate insertions, effective upon receipt, of each Revolving Loan that is to be Converted into a Base Rate Loan prior to 10:30

Each such notice shall (A) specify the name of the respective Borrower, the amount of the borrowing, the date of borrowing or Conversion (as applicable), type of Revolving Loan (Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate), the date of borrowing and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period to be used in the computation of interest and (B) identify the Financed Eligible Asset the acquisition of which is to be financed with the proceeds of the borrowing. Notice of receipt of such Borrowing Notice or Interest Rate Selection Notice, as the case may be, together with the amount of each Lender’s portion of a Loan requested thereunder, shall be provided by the Agent to each Lender by facsimile transmission with reasonable promptness, but (provided the Agent shall have received such notice by 10:30 A.M.) not later than 1:00 P.M. on the same day as the Agent’s receipt of such notice.

(i) Promptly (and, to the extent feasible, not later than 2:00 P.M.) on the date specified for each borrowing under this Section 2.1, each Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount of the Loan or Loans to be made by it on such day available by wire transfer to the Agent in the amount of its pro rata share, determined according to such Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to be made on such day. Such wire transfer shall be directed to the Agent at the Principal Office and shall be in the form of Dollars constituting immediately available funds. The amount so received by the Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Applicable Borrower by delivery of the proceeds thereof to the Borrowers’ Account or otherwise as shall be directed in the applicable Borrowing Notice by an Authorized Representative and reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

(ii) Each Loan will be made initially as a Base Rate Loan. The Borrowers shall have the option to elect the duration of the initial and any subsequent Interest Periods and to Convert the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.7. Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans may be outstanding at the same time, provided, however, there shall not be outstanding at any one time Eurodollar Rate Loans for any or any Borrower having more than two (2) different Interest Periods. If the Agent does not receive an Interest Rate Selection Notice giving notice of election of the duration of an Interest Period by the time prescribed by Section 2.7, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have elected for any Eurodollar Loan an Interest Period of the duration provided in clause (x) of the definition of Interest Period.

2.2. Payment of Interest.

(a) The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay interest to the Agent for the account of each Lender on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan shall be due at the then applicable Base Rate for Base Rate Loans or applicable Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans, as designated by the Authorized Representative pursuant to Section 2.1; provided, however, that if any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest during such period at the Default Rate.

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for Eurodollar Rate Loans and 365/366 days for Base Rate Loans and calculated in each case for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on each Loan shall be paid (x) monthly in arrears on the twentieth (20th) calendar day of each calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), (y) upon payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or any portion thereof, on the amount so paid or prepaid and (z) at the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

2.3. Payment of Principal.

(a) Scheduled Repayment; Voluntary Prepayments. The principal amount of each Revolving Loan shall be due and payable to the Agent for the benefit of each Lender in full on the Stated Termination Date, or earlier as specifically provided herein. The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan, in whole or in part, upon two Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and, in the case of Base Rate Loans, upon same day notice to the. All such prepayments must be accompanied by accrued interest up to, and including, the date of such prepayment and any compensation due under Section 4.5 hereof.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Upon the sale or refinancing of any Financed Eligible Asset or other asset by any Borrower (including the sale or disposition of the equity interests in any such Borrower that holds a Financed Eligible Asset (including a transfer to any Special Purpose Subsidiary in connection with the ACS 2008-1 Transaction or otherwise) but excluding any transfer of an Eligible Asset to a direct or indirect Subsidiary of AIH III or the Irish Holdco Party who, in connection with such transfer will assume all of the transferor’s obligations and shall satisfy all requirements under Section 5.2 to become a Borrower hereunder), or upon the refinancing of any Indebtedness of any Borrower arising from any Loan hereunder, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall immediately pay to the Agent an amount equal to the greater of (A) the outstanding principal of and accrued interest on any Loans made to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower in connection with such Financed Eligible Asset and (B) an amount sufficient to bring the Borrowers into compliance with the Borrowing Base Covenant after giving effect to such sale, disposition or refinancing. If any net proceeds of such sale or refinancing remain after the repayment in full of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Loans attributable to the Financed Eligible Asset sold, such excess proceeds shall be applied first, to reduce the outstanding principal and accrued interest on Loans as directed by AIH III or the Irish Holdco Party until the Borrowers are in compliance with the Borrowing Base Covenant and second, if no Default or Event of Default exists at the time, to the Applicable Borrower to be used or distributed by the Applicable Borrower in its sole discretion.

(ii) If as of any Calculation Date the aggregate principal amount of the Loans shall be greater than the Aggregate Allowed Percentage of the Borrowing Base on such day, the Borrowers shall, on the Payment Date immediately following such Calculation Date, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the

amount necessary to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans to be not greater than the Aggregate Allowed Percentage of the Borrowing Base on such Payment Day.

(iii) If the estimated amount of out of pocket costs incurred by an Applicable Borrower in connection with the acquisition of a Financed Eligible Asset exceeds the actual amount of such out of pocket costs included in the Purchase Price of such Financed Eligible Asset, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loan relating to such Financed Eligible Asset in an amount equal to the Aggregate Allowed Percentage of such excess out of pocket costs within five Business Days after a Responsible Officer learns of such excess.

(iv) The Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall prepay the Loans in respect of a Financed Eligible Asset upon the occurrence of an Event of Loss in respect of such Finance Eligible Asset and on the date required by Section 3.8(b) of the Security Agreement. If any net proceeds received in respect of such Event of Loss remain after the repayment in full of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on such Loans, if no Default or Event of Default exists at the time, such excess proceeds shall be paid to the Applicable Borrower and may be used by such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.4. Manner of Payment. Each payment of principal (including any prepayment) and payment of interest and fees, and any other amount required to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall be made to the Agent at the Principal Office, for the account of each Lender, in Dollars and in immediately available funds without setoff, deduction or counterclaim before 12:30 P.M. on the date such payment is due.

(a) The Agent shall deem any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower hereunder that is not made both in Dollars and in immediately available funds and prior to 12:30 P.M. to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to be received by the Agent until the time such funds become available funds. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until the later of (x) the date such funds become available funds or (y) the next Business Day at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due and payable.

(b) In the event that any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless provided otherwise under clause (ii) of the definition of “Interest Period”; provided that interest shall continue to accrue during the period of any such extension and provided, further, that in no event shall any such due date be extended beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(c) Any payment or prepayment of any principal or interest on any Loan hereunder shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by an Authorized Representative and delivered to the Agent, which certificate shall identify such Loan, the amount of principal and interest paid thereon, and the Borrower to whom, or for whose benefit, such Loan was originally advanced.

2.5. Pro Rata Payments.

2.6. Reductions. (a) The Borrowers shall, by notice from an Authorized Representative, have the right from time to time but not more frequently than once each calendar month, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, effective upon receipt, to reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. The Agent shall give each Lender, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice, facsimile notice, or telephonic notice (confirmed in writing), of such reduction. Each such reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or such greater amount which is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000, or the entire remaining Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and shall permanently reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. Each reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be accompanied by payment of the Revolving Loans to the extent that the principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such reduction, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amounts prepaid. No such reduction shall result in the payment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless such prepayment is accompanied by amounts due, if any, under Section 4.5; and

(b) Any net proceeds received in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.3 shall be applied on such date toward the prepayment of the Loans and the reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment as set forth in paragraph (a) above.

2.10. Deficiency Advances. No Lender shall be responsible for any default of any other Lender in respect to such other Lender’s obligation to make any Loan hereunder nor shall the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder be increased as a result of such default of any other Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event any Lender shall fail to advance funds to any Borrower as herein provided, the Agent may in its discretion and in its capacity as a Lender, but shall not be obligated to, advance all or any portion of such amount or amounts (each, a “deficiency advance”) and shall thereafter be entitled to payments of principal of and interest on such deficiency advance in the same manner and at the same interest rate or rates as if it had originally made such Loan; provided that, (i) such defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive payments of principal, interest or fees with respect to such deficiency advance until such deficiency advance shall be paid by such Lender and (ii) upon payment to the Agent from such other Lender of the entire outstanding amount of each such deficiency advance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, from the most recent date or dates interest was paid to the Agent by a Borrower on each Loan comprising the deficiency advance at the interest rate per annum for overnight borrowing by the Agent from the Federal Reserve Bank, then such payment shall be to the Agent as a Lender in full payment of such deficiency advance and such Borrower shall be deemed to have borrowed the amount of such deficiency advance from such other Lender as of the most recent date or dates, as the case may be, upon which any payments of interest were made by such Borrower thereon.

Upon such execution, delivery and consent, such Holdings Subsidiary Trust or Holdings SPC (as the case may be) shall for all purposes be a party hereto as a Borrower as fully as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement.

(b) So long as (w) all Loans made to or on behalf of any Borrower, together with all accrued interest on such Loans, have been paid in full, (x) all other outstanding Obligations of such Borrower (except Obligations to pay principal and interest on Loans other than those Loans described in clause (w)) have been paid in full, (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and will be continuing after giving effect to such termination, and (z) any prepayment required under Section 2.3(b) has been made, then such Borrower may, by not less than three (3) days prior notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), (i) terminate its status as a “Borrowing Affiliate” and “Borrower” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (ii) (with respect to any Beneficial Owner of such Borrower) unless such Person also holds a beneficial interest in any other Borrower, terminate the status of such Person and any other Subsidiary of such Person as a “Guarantor” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) terminate the status of the Applicable Intermediary (if any) and any other Subsidiary of such Borrower as a “Guarantor” hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Each Borrower (including without limitation each Borrowing Affiliate) agrees and acknowledges that the Obligations (subject to the proviso in the last sentence in the definition of “Obligations” as such term is defined in Section 1.1 herein) constitute and will constitute joint and several obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers; provided, however, that anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Borrower with respect to the joint and several liability under this Section 2.13 shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Borrower under applicable federal, state and applicable foreign laws relating to the insolvency of debtors. Each Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that all actions taken, elections made and notices and certificates furnished or received by it under or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall constitute the action, election, notice or certification of all of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, and that each Authorized Representative shall have full authority to act for and on behalf of all of the Borrowers for all purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that the joint and several liability of the Borrowers shall not be impaired or affected by any modification, supplement, extension or amendment of any contract or agreement to which the parties thereto may hereafter agree, nor by any modification, release or other alteration of any of the rights of the Agent or any Lender with respect to the Collateral other than as provided in Section 2.12(b) hereof, nor by any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Agent, any Lender or any other Person with respect to any of the Obligations, nor by any other agreements or arrangements whatever with any other Borrower or with anyone else, each Borrower hereby waiving all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consenting to be bound thereby as fully and effectually as if it had expressly agreed thereto in advance.

3.1. Security. As security for the full and timely payment and performance of all Obligations, each Borrower will, or will cause the Credit Parties to, on or before the date of the initial Loan do or cause to be done all things necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and its counsel to grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a duly perfected first priority security interest under all applicable laws in all Collateral subject to no prior Lien or other encumbrance (that, in each case, has not previously been satisfied in full) or restriction on transfer (other than Permitted Liens).

3.2. Further Assurances. At the request of the Agent, each Borrower will, or will cause the other Credit Parties to, execute, by its duly authorized officers, alone or with the Agent, any certificate, instrument, statement or document, or to procure any such certificate, instrument, statement or document, or to take such other action (and pay all connected costs)

which the Agent reasonably deems necessary from time to time to create, continue or preserve the liens and security interests in Collateral (and the perfection and priority thereof) of the Agent contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents and specifically including all Collateral acquired by any Borrower, or any Guarantor or any other Credit Party after the Closing Date.

3.3. Information Regarding Collateral. AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and each Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that (i) the chief executive office of the Parent, AHC Ltd., Ireland Holding Ltd. and each Credit Party providing Collateral pursuant to a Security Instrument (each, a “Grantor”) at the Closing Date is located at the address or addresses specified on Schedule 3.3, and (ii) Schedule 3.3 (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time) contains a true and complete list of (a) the name and address of each Grantor, (b) each location of the chief executive office and principal place of business of each Grantor and (c) the country of registration (if applicable) of each Eligible Asset. No Borrower shall change, or permit any other Grantor to change, the location of its chief executive office or principal place of business, or use or permit any other Grantor to use, any additional trade style, except upon giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Agent and taking or causing to be taken all such action at the Borrowers’ or such other Grantor’s expense as may be reasonably requested by the Agent to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Lien of the Agent in Collateral.

3.4. Quiet Enjoyment. The Agent and each Lender hereby agree that, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under an Eligible Lease, it will not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the possession and use of the Eligible Asset by the Applicable Carrier during the term of such Eligible Lease and it will (subject to any requirements or restrictions imposed by applicable law) dispose of its interest in the Eligible Asset leased under such Eligible Lease expressly subject to such Eligible Lease and on terms such that the purchaser provides a similar right of quiet enjoyment to such Applicable Carrier. Upon the request of any Borrower, the Agent (on behalf of itself and the Lenders) will confirm the immediately preceding sentence in writing to any Applicable Carrier.

ARTICLE IV

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

4.1. Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost (other than a Tax) to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof (other than by reason of any Tax), then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender (on an after-tax basis) for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application 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) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation (on an after-tax basis) for such reduction.

(c) Each Lender shall promptly notify AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle a Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1, and such Lender shall, upon written request by AIH III, or the Irish Holdco Party or any Borrower, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such three-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.2. Limitation on Types of Loans. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan:

(a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrowers prompt notice thereof specifying the relevant Type of Loans and the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Loans of such Type, Continue Loans of such Type or to Convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type, and the Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Loans of the affected Type, either prepay such Loans or Convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

4.3. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to Convert other Types of Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.4 shall be applicable).

4.4. Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan or to Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Loans of a particular Type shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.3 hereof (Loans of such Type being herein called “Affected Loans” and such Type being herein called the “Affected Type”), such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Affected Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.3 hereof, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrowers with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Affected Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Loans of the Affected Type shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 hereof that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Affected Loans pursuant to this Section 4.4 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly

upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Loans of the Affected Type made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Loans of the Affected Type, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Loans of the Affected Type and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.

4.5. Compensation. Upon the request of any Lender, AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and the Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.1) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by any Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Article V to be satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date for such borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, Continuation, or Conversion under this Agreement.

4.6. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by any Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes, and all liabilities with respect thereto, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, Taxes imposed on its income, receipts, capital, net worth or items of tax preference and franchise, doing business and similar Taxes (imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes), imposed on such Lender or Agent as a result of a present or former connection between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded Taxes (“Indemnified Taxes”) or Other Taxes (as defined below) are required to be withheld after the date hereof from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.6) such Lender or the Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) such Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to such

Lender or the Agent; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to increase such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States or Irish withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

(b) In addition, AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and the Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to timely pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes which arise from the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the provision of the security interest in any Collateral required hereunder (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and the Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.6) paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

(d) Each Lender, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by any Borrower or the Agent (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), shall provide the Borrowers and the Agent with (i) a complete and properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY (including all required accompanying information), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service (including a United States taxpayer identification number), certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest, certifying that the Lender is eligible for the “portfolio interest exemption” or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, each Lender and the Agent agrees that it will (i) take all actions reasonably requested by AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or a Borrower in writing that are consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions to claim any available reductions or exemptions from Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and (ii) otherwise cooperate with AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and the Borrowers to minimize any amounts payable by AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or the Borrowers under this Section 4.6; provided, however, that in each case, any out-of-pocket cost relating to such action or cooperation requested by AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or a Borrower shall be borne by AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or such Borrower and no Lender shall be required to take any action that it determines in its sole good faith discretion, may be adverse in any non de minimis respect to it and not indemnified to its satisfaction. Each Lender listed on the signature page hereto represents that it is a Qualifying Lender as of the Closing Date and each assignee represents that it is a Qualifying Lender as of the date such party becomes an assignee.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(f) If AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or any Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 4.6, then such Lender will agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the sole judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or otherwise evidence of such payment as is reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

(h) If the Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or a Borrower or with respect to which AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.6, it shall pay over such refund to AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or a Borrower under this Section 4.6 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any net increase in Taxes imposed on such Person by reason of such refund and the payment by such Person pursuant to this sentence) of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or any Borrower or any other Person.

(i) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of AIH III,

the Irish Holdco Party and each Borrower contained in this Section 4.6 shall survive the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the payment in full of the Loans.

ARTICLE X

THE AGENT

10.1. Appointment, Powers, and Immunities. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as “Mortgagee” under each Security Agreement and as “Security Agent” under each Lockbox Agreement (references in this Article X to the term “Agent” being deemed to include as well such other capacities), with such powers and discretion as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 10.5 and the first sentence of Section 10.6 hereof shall include its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, and agents):

(a) shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and shall not be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender;

(b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation, or warranty (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Loan Document or any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, any Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Loan Document, or any other document referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by any Credit Party or any other Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder;

(c) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify the performance or observance of any covenants or agreements by any Credit Party or the satisfaction of any condition or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates;

(d) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings under any Loan Document; and

(e) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with any Loan Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

10.2. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, instrument, writing, or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone or facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel for any Credit Party), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking any such action.

10.3. Defaults. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall (subject to Section 10.2 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall reasonably be directed by the Required Lenders, provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.

10.4. Rights as Lender. With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans made by it, JPMCB (and any successor acting as Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust, or other business with any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates as if it were not acting as Agent, and JPMCB (and any successor acting as Agent) and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

10.5. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 11.9 hereof, but without limiting the obligations of any Borrower under such Section) ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent (including by any Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under any Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or expenses payable by any Borrower under Section 11.5, to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by any Borrower. The agreements contained in this Section 10.5 shall survive payment in full of the Loans and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

10.6. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates that may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its affiliates.

10.7. Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, subject (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) to the written consent of an Authorized Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

10.8. Fees. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Agent, for its individual account, an Agent’s fee as from time to time agreed to by any Borrower and the Agent in writing.

11.3. Right of Set-off; Adjustments.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender (and each of its affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (or any of its affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.3 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

(b) If any Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from a Lender pursuant to this

Section 11.3 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Person were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

11.4. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the execution and delivery to the Lenders of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of Obligations remain outstanding or any Lender has any Loan hereunder or any Borrower has continuing obligations hereunder unless otherwise provided herein. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party and all covenants, provisions and agreements by or on behalf of any Borrower which are contained in the Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Lenders or any of them.

11.5. Expenses. AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and each Borrower agree, jointly and severally, to pay on demand (subject, in the case of preparation, execution, delivery and administration costs, to the Fee Letter), all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, and amendment of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, subject to any cap that may have otherwise been agreed, and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent (excluding the cost of internal counsel) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under the Loan Documents. AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and each Borrower further agree, jointly and severally, to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable external attorneys’ fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder.

11.6. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.6. The Required Lenders and each Credit Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agent and each Credit Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each

Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.6 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or any Borrower of any of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the various Facility Guarantees, in the case of clauses (i) through (iii) without the written consent of all Lenders; or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article X without the written consent of the Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon;

No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower or any other Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. No delay or omission on any Lender’s or the Agent’s part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.

11.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such fully-executed counterpart.

11.8. Return of Funds. If after receipt of any payment of all or any part of the Obligations, any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment to any Person because such payment is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, a diversion of trust funds or for any other reason, this Agreement shall continue in full force and each Borrower, jointly and severally, shall be liable to, and shall indemnify and hold the Agent or such Lender harmless for, the amount of such payment surrendered until the Agent or such Lender shall have been finally and irrevocably paid in full. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent or the Lenders in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent or the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

11.9. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

(a) AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and each Borrower, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (which term for purposes of this Section 11.9 includes the “Mortgagee” under each Security Agreement and the “Security Agent” under each Lockbox Agreement), the Joint Lead Arrangers and each Lender and each of their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”)

from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable external attorneys’ fees, but excluding principal and accrued interest on any Loan) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of defense in connection therewith) the Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein, any Aircraft, Engine or other Collateral, any possession, performance, transportation, management, sale, ownership, registration, mortgage, charging, control, maintenance, service, repair, design, testing, defect, overhaul, purchase, bearing, use or operation of any Aircraft, Engine or other Collateral, or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.9 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party, any Borrower, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and each Borrower agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to it, any of its Subsidiaries, any Guarantor or any security holders or creditors thereof arising out of, related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated in any Loan Document, except to the extent that such liability directly results from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and each Borrower agree not to assert any claim against the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any Lender, any of their affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, and advisers, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans.

(b) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party and each Borrower contained in this Section 11.9 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and all other amounts payable under this Agreement.

(c) Except as expressly provided herein, each Lender, each Borrower and the Agent agree that this Agreement and each other Loan Document entered into by a Holdings Subsidiary Trust is executed by a Qualified Trustee, not individually but solely as Trustee under a Trust Agreement in the exercise of the power and authority conferred and vested in it as such Trustee, that each and all of the representations, undertakings and agreements by a Qualified Trustee, or for the purpose or with the intention of binding a Qualified Trustee, are made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Trust Estates (and, to the extent any Lender, Borrower or Agent has an interest therein, any liability insurance proceeds), and that in no case whatsoever shall any Qualified Trustee be personally liable for any loss in respect of such representations, undertakings and agreements, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on any Qualified Trustee individually or personally, to perform any covenant, either express or implied, herein, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by

each Lender, each Borrower and the Agent and by each and every Person now or hereafter claiming by, through or under such Persons except with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Qualified Trustee or for any Liens on the Collateral arising from, through or under such Qualified Trustee in its individual capacity, and that so far as any Qualified Trustee, individually or personally is concerned, each Lender, each Borrower and the Agent and any Person claiming by, through or under such Persons shall look solely, except as provided above, to the Trust Estates (and, to the extent any Lender, Borrower or Agent has an interest therein, any liability insurance proceeds), for the performance of any obligation under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The term “Trustee” as used in this Section 11.9(c) shall include any Qualified Trustee succeeding a Qualified Trustee, as trustee under a Trust Agreement. Any obligation of any Holdings Subsidiary Trust hereunder or under the other Loan Documents may be performed by a Beneficial Owner, and any such performance shall not be construed as revocation of the trust created by any Trust Agreement.

11.10. Joint Lead Arrangers. The Joint Lead Arrangers shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than the rights to receive reimbursement or payment of costs or expenses incurred by them as provided in Section 11.5 and the right to indemnity under Section 11.9.

11.11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined to be illegal or invalid as to one or more of the parties hereto, then such provision shall remain in effect with respect to all parties, if any, as to whom such provision is neither illegal nor invalid, and in any event all other provisions hereof shall remain effective and binding on the parties hereto.

11.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous proposals, negotiations, representations, and other communications between or among the parties, both oral and written, with respect thereto.

11.13. Payments. All principal, interest, and other amounts to be paid by any Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid to the Agent at the Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim. Subject to the definition of “Interest Period” herein, whenever any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in such case shall be included in the computation of interest and fees, as applicable, and as the case may be.

11.14. Confidentiality. The Agent and each Lender (each, a “Lending Party”) agrees to keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by AIH III, the Irish Holdco Party or any other Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from disclosing such information (a) to any other Lending Party or any affiliate of any Lending Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lending Party or affiliate or any Lending Party, (b) to any other Person if reasonably incidental to the administration of the credit facility provided herein, (c) as required by any law, rule, or regulation, (d) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (e) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority, (f) that is or becomes available to the public or that is or becomes available to any Lending Party other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lending Party prohibited by this Agreement, (g) in connection with any litigation to which such Lending

Party or any of its affiliates may be a party, (h) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (i) subject to provisions substantially similar to those contained in this Section, to any actual or proposed participant or assignee.

11.15. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) AIH III, THE IRISH HOLDCO PARTY AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN MAY BE INSTITUTED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ OF AMERICA AND, BY THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, AIH III, THE IRISH HOLDCO PARTY AND EACH BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, OR TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER IT AND ITS PROPERTY BY, ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND AIH III, THE IRISH HOLDCO PARTY AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

(c) AIH III, THE IRISH HOLDCO PARTY AND EACH BORROWER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY PERSONAL SERVICE OF A COPY OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OR BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (POSTAGE PREPAID) TO THE ADDRESS PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.2(a), OR BY ANY OTHER METHOD OF SERVICE PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAWS IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(d) NOTHING CONTAINED IN SUBSECTIONS (a) OR (b) HEREOF SHALL PRECLUDE THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER FROM BRINGING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF ANY SUCH JURISDICTION, AIH III, THE IRISH HOLDCO PARTY AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES, IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, OBJECTION TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER IT AND ITS PROPERTY BY ANY SUCH OTHER COURT OR COURTS WHICH NOW OR HEREAFTER MAY BE AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

(e) IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER OR RELATED TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR THAT MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AIH III, THE IRISH HOLDCO PARTY, THE BORROWERS, THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY AGREE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PERSON MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

11.16. Judgment Currency.

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, if for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in United States Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Agreement on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligation of each Credit Party in respect of any sum due in United States Dollars from it to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States Dollars with such other currency; if the United States Dollars so purchased are less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in United States Dollars, each Credit Party agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the United States Dollars so purchased exceed such sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in United States Dollars, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to each such Credit Party such excess.

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

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